Ward at RB

**ARKIESTEEL** · 12-05-2007, 04:12 PM

Hines Ward played RB and QB in college anyone think he could be used at that again? I was thinking maybe do some of that "wildhog" stuff that Arkansas was doing with D Mac let Hines and Willie line up back there and Hines could either run it, throw it, hand it off, or run the option. Just to throw teams of balance, we could even line up Ben at WR or TE and run a trick play from that. I am not talking all the time but ever now and then would might work

I know goofy but sometimes you have to think out of the box.

Randle El anyone? It sounds like a nice trick play, and hell.. It worked against Seahawks in 05 :P

um... i think NFL defenses are WAY too fast for that ... dont you think Vick and Dunn woulda been doing that for years.... sounds nice maybe when Hines was 23-24...

SLASH!!

While we're at it, Heath and Ced both were QBs in HS, and Ike, Smith, and Troy all did time in offensive backfield, succesfully.

Wouldn't mind seeing some trick plays,,,,,,,,

Just as long as we win

How about the old swing gate play. Break the cuddle(Boomers old huddle 2 yards off ball) with like 10 secs on 30 sec clock. Line 3 to the left everyone else to the right and did a screen and just swing the gate open.

The more touches for Ward the better, but I don't see him lining up at runningback or taking snaps. Although, I'm not opposed to the idea.

Might be some nice trick plays... I doubt he would get stopped on a QB draw near the goaline.
