Shifted offensive line

[vpkozel]

Don't know if this has already been discussed, but Hodge said yesterday morning 20% of our snaps in the Cleveland game came from an o-line where we shifted the tackle from one side to the other (the example he showed was the RT (can't remember his name) outside of Gross).

How common was this? Did we do it a lot against Baltimore too?

meaning 2 left tackles and the right is picked up by TE or RBs?

RT playing where the TE normally would on the outside of Gross. It looked like so it looked like this (using their normla positions).

RT LT LG C RG TE

It's been discussed a good bit - Collin has some screen shots on his site.

I don't recall seeing it against balt - but wasn't looking.

OK - thanks.

RT lines up to the left of the LT, TE liens up next to the RG. Forces the line to shift over, but otherwise, I don't see a ton of positive in it or what we're looking to accomplish. I imagine it's to give a strong left running look, to try to force the D to adjust, but I don't know that we run a whole bunch left with it...it's really not something I've noticed.
