The only problem with that is it makes it obvious what plays are coming. Then if you put Dave in there, it makes it obvious. The idea for the wing t to work is confusion. If the other team can just run goal line defense and not worry about the pass, then the wing t is not very effective.

If your gonna use Storm as a blocking back, then its obvious we need to be in the power I. Put Dave and Mitchell out wide, and spread out the defense.

This may be our best offense at this point, since they don't use Dillon at TE, might as well put him at left tackle, with Rice and Storm in the backfield, with Abrams dotting the I, Dave and Mitchell as wideouts to spread out the D, only allowing them 7 guys in the box. We can use alot of motion handoffs to Dave to get him some carries, also run more pitches. We could then motion Rice sometimes out to reciever, I think with his quickness he could really be good on quick routes in open field.

This sounds like a pretty good way to utilize the talent that Russell has. I agree that if Dillon is not going to be used at TE, then they should put him at LT. This would shore up the line tremendously. My only question is if the guards and center would be strong enough to run the straight ahead power game effectively?

Of course, we all know the chances of Russell coming out with an entirely different offensive philosophy are remote...but it does make for good discussion.
