This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Sending a second TB in the slot is not uncommon. by tdiddy07
That incorporates jet sweep threats that have revived principles from older offenses. It's not a base offense but it's definitely still a part of some offenses. And I recall Ohio State bringing the slot receiver into the backfield pre-snap. ND also did some of this at times.
As to two back sets generally, going from 2017, the 13-3 runner-up Patriots ran about 35-40 percent of their offense in two-back sets. (Edit: I think that figure is right but that in 2018 it dropped to closer to a quarter of plays, while they were second behind the 49ers.) Of course so did the 6-10 49ers. The teams with the next most plays out of two-back sets appeared to be the 9-7 Wild Card Bills, 10-6 Wild Card Falcons, 5-11 Bears, and 11-5 Saints.
