Another player we could use on offense as a trick play is Sam Shields. Remember: he used to be a WR.

I'm not saying use him as a receiver. I'm saying use him in a reverse-type play, sort of like the Eagles do with Desean Jackson.

We should try Shields on offense, with his speed run a reverse or do a Devin Hester route from wr 🙂

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

I don't like the idea of using Sitton on defense. He's easily the best player we have on the OL. An OL with very little proven depth.

Lots of things can happen underneath a goal line play. How would you all feel if Sitton played on D and ends up hurt?

The same way I would fell if he got hurt while playing o line. As long as he's helping our team win, I wouldn't care. It's not like we're putting Aaron Rodgers out there to return punts. Sitton is used to dealing w/ 300 lb beasts trying to hurt him.

Why stop doing something if it works? Personally, I think his risk for injury is much higher while playing on the OL.

He's playing on the OL anyway. That risk isn't going to change. The point is that if you add to his OL load some DL plays you're increasing the total risk.

And, IMO, given the overall quality of the non-Sitton roster on the OL, that just sounds like playing with fire to me. Not as bad as putting him on KO teams, but still an extra risk that makes sense.

Its like saying, well, QB is a bigger risk of injury than LB, so its okay to play Aaron Rodgers a couple reps at ILB in addition to his QB duties.

IMO Sitton is, after Rodgers, arguably the second most important offensive player right now. (in the sense of there being a major problem if he gets hurt).

It is a bit curious why sitton was chosen. I understand that since we run the 3-4 we don't carry alot of linemen, but as was said earlier why sitton? He is the best player on the o-line and the hardest to replace. Let's say we didn't have buluaga but some street FA this year. Then let's also say Clifton was the next best option to play goal line D. Does that sound like a good idea? I don't think so. Why not one of the scrubs? A Havner type?

Sitton is our strongest, most solid O-lineman. I think he was easily the best choice to play in a goal line situation. If you're afraid to play your best players on a goal line stand in a close game, you deserve to lose.

As for the trick play stuff, nobody on the defense really stands out for me as that kind of player. Maybe a reverse to Shields because of his ability to run in the open field, but after watching him struggle to catch punts in the preseason, I honestly don't even have a lot of confidence in his ability to take a handoff.

Trick plays are for inferior teams. I thought it was dumb enough watching our special teams run around like women on that kick return. Lose like men.
