Danny Zuko Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Everyone knows that the RBs get the most carries and are the most reliable and consistent point producers. I have no stud RB and am thinking of starting the Run And Shoot after the next bye week with my solid WRs Chad Johnson, Roy Williams, and Hines Ward. I don't know if I am playing with fire. Has anyone been successful using this strategy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 ask the Oilers or Falcons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Who's your 4th WR? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHook Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 and you can't start a TE to be a true run and shoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavez Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 and you can't start a TE to be a true run and shoot  That's what I was about to get at - 1 RB 3 WR 1 TE is the old Joe Gibbs one-back offense.  Last week I went 2-TE in a league. I keep trying to let league allow the wishbone (or power-I if you want to refer to it that way) but nobody ever wants to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Zuko Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 To clarify I was wondering who runs and shoots with 3 wr, 1 rb, and 1 te. if you do it and you think it works, tell me who you are playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackshi17 Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Who uses it effectively? Â June Jones at the U of Hawaii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazysight Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 Yeah I have a really hard time getting runningbacks in my dynasty league, so my plan has been to go with the 2 TE set for the future with either one or 2 runningbacks along with 1 or 2 wideouts. I have Antonio Gates and Vernon Davis, so that could be a good combo for the future. We can do the wishbone in my league, but I simply don't have 3 quality runningbacks to do it right now nor do I see myself having 3 anytime in the near future.

Polecat Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I've been employing the chuck and duck strategy in my keeper league for years, since it has been difficult to build a running back stable. I've been in the championship game 3 of the last 4 years, having won the last 2 years. I'm sticking with what works, for me. Buddy Ryan be damned!!!!

Chavez Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I think before going run-and-shoot, you have to look long and hard at if you're 3rd WR is better than your RB2. Â My rule of thumb is RB > WR when it comes to the flex position, and I RARELY find a need to break it. I'd have to have a VERY strong WR group and a VERY poor RB2 before I'd feel very comfortable going with a one-back regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Zuko Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Well Chavez you tell me:  Ward>McAllister>Foster  Do you agree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooGie Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 i dont think I understood anything in this whole thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Zuko Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 My understanding is Run and Shoot is playing 3 WRs and 1 RB (assuming your league allows it) vs. the traditional 2 RB and 2 WR. Since RB get a big chunk of carries and WR are too unpredictable from week to week (look at gys like Moss and Galloway) most people say unless you have 3 studs at WR it's not a smart strategy.

Chavez Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Well Chavez you tell me:  Ward>McAllister>Foster  Do you agree?  With Williams hurt, I'd put it McAllister > Foster > Ward on most weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Can you get a RB that catches passes. Possibly Lundy if noone else is available? Â Do you get pts. for receptions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully907 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I have 2 #1s in harrison and darrel jackson,but my 3rd guy is clayton,kind of weak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioya Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I would say Andre Ware and David Klingler - Houston Cougars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
