As you can see, bringing the Z over into a twinsset helps us to get a blocker on the Rover, who islined up as a playside invert.

The TE Quick is great to take advantage of anaggressive Mike LB. The QB rides the FB and hits the
TE behind the Mike. The TE is looking to throttle downin the hole, not settle.
