It worked a couple of times last year and hasn't worked since. It like a few other pays that we run have been scouted to DEATH....There is no need to steal signals from us as others have suggested because we don't give a ot of looks on offense and as someone else also pointed out we never run any mis direction to keep the defense honest.
Actually, Appleby's td pass to Goolsby was a play action out of that set. Cox went out on a pass route in the right flat and arguably was involved in a pick play.
Ok.....so it's worked 3 times in 25 attempts over the last season and a half
The big problem is that it takes a true skill position player off the field when he's in there which limits what the defense has to be aware of and account for.
No, we just ignored it, considering the source. It's meant to be divisive, posted by the biggest effing whiner on GCMB.
:wobble:
I don't think it has worked three times. We may have had 3 successful plays while he was in, but I don't think he's been successful 3 times in those plays. I tried to find them in the North Tejas game and this is what I came up with.
1st Quarter, 4th & 2 at the 5 yd line. Cox dives / falls over an edge rusher who was going down anyway. The edge got sealed, but the line (without Cox) got enough movement to open a hole, which Thompson missed. We don't convert the 1st down.
2nd Quarter, 3rd & 1 at the 2
Cox runs in the hole, chips the LB, the LB makes the tackle ...after Pee-rhine pushes forward into the endzone. Cox may have slowed the LB enough to allow Perine to push in, but I give the credit to Perine, not Cox.
4th Quarter, 2nd & Goal at the 1.
Cox finally thumps a guy! Defender beats Taylor (blasphemy!) and is getting penetration. Cox plows him to clean him up. Scarlett cuts back and gets tackled forward into the endzone for the score. ...then Cox starts jawing with a defender from North Texas.
I'm glad that Fever claimed two in the N. Tx game. I only found one, but at least I know that it has happened. This exercised proved my point (I don't think he's very effective in this role), but at least I know that it has worked.
I see you posted a picture of yourself - thanks!

Dude, I don't disagree with your opinion. I disagree with your incessant complaining. I'm obviously a lot more positive than you, and I'm known as the pessimist in my family.
