I know I am being an armchair coach... but the additional logic I see with it:

1. It's not re-building a wall for Haywood...he has used it before back in 2009 when he had Thomas Varney. He successfully implemented it after the start of the season and it single handily was the key to 3 Belfry wins that year.

2. I am a huge fan of the fact you can "surprise" teams since Belfry can use the exact same personnel they would already have on the field. On 1st and 10 you run the flexbone and a holding call makes it 1st and 20. Without even subbing you go into the huddle and suddenly come out in a shotgun spread look with Corbett at QB and Taylor in motion.

3. I am a huge fan of stealing the other teams' timeouts...especially in the 2nd Half. In HS Football..especially against Belfry... your number of possessions are limited and time is seldom on your side. Either they will have to burn a timeout or there is a good chance it will totally catch them off guard and you catch a defense that is ready to have 9 guys in a 40 square foot box having to quickly spread across the entire field.

4. It gives you an option to have Taylor at SE against a single CB if you want to pass... if you want to run with him he is now at a full sprint when he takes the handoff on the seep.

5. If it is a pass Corbett already knows and can see the field instead of carrying out a playfake with his back turned. If it is a run Corbett only has to make one read. Corbett has struggled a little bit getting a clean snap from Center..now it is a shotgun snap.

6. You still have options to use Hatfield and his physicality by making him the H-Back. He can block straight down on the power dive w/ Corbett, he can pull and be the lead blocker if Corbett does a counter, he can get outside and block on a quick bubble screen to Willis, and you can slide him under for a screen or shuttle pass if you release pressure.
