I miss that 'ol style ball, too.

I've often wondered if you could get a 2 way, in-line style TE, a pair of live RB's and run an old school offense vs some of these current D's.

Some of the younger teams have never seen or played against those kind of offenses.

Run a little 31 power BOB on their asses and see what they do about it.

When the Eagles put together the "dream team" and sacked the Rams QB like 4 times in the first quarter a couple years ago, the Rams did it and rushed for 170 yards the rest of the half. Then in a move only Bielema could appreciate decided to pass the ball the entire 3rd quarter.

Are you talking about opening day in 2011? The Rams had 154 rushing yards the entire game. They had 2 3rd quarter possessions and ran the ball 9 times in those possessions, although not very effectively. Perhaps because the Eagles made some defensive adjustments to counter the success the Rams had rushing the ball in the 1st half?

Don't recall the exact game, I watched it though...the dream team was 2011? Was thinking it was 2012, but your probably right. My memory for exact details is getting fuzzy these days, but the Badger game I was referring to was against Boise St. in the bowl game where we had about a 5000 pound advantage up front and kept running to the side and passing the ball. The final drive we rammed it down their throats to make it a 2 point game, then passed incomplete for the 2 point conversion after driving it down their throats the entire drive.

Go two rb's, TE, two WR's. Bring teams out of the nickel and dime and play 4DB's with a S in the box. When the safety comes in, pass their asses off the field.

With ARod, our passing game keep the clock spinning like a solid running game does. Keep the pressure on the D and give our defense a blow, so they can come in and really bring some old fashion heat.

This is no revelation, I've always felt that is Coach Mac's goal all along. That's why he keeps an FB and maintains a tight end herd. He'd like an offense that controls our own destiny and can put ball games away, while taking pressure off our D.

I think.

I hope.

And I like the other approach. Spread 5 wide (2 of them TE's) and then drop Cobb into the backfield for the handoff and run it on the dime defense.

I dunno if you'll see him in 2 backs as much as you would like, but he has wanted to do two TEs for quite a while now.
