Wouldn't you?

Ramon is an excellent writer and provides salient insights. Let's make sure he keeps providing us his depth of experience and analysis.

Ramon is:
* The greatest Run N Shoot QB I've ever seen.
* Maybe the most exciting player I've ever seen at SMU (got here after Dickerson, et al)
* All over the SMU record book
* An accomplished coach
* Clearly a proud Mustang
Thank you, Ramon, for sharing just a little - so far - of what you know with us, and thank you, PonyFans.com, for getting together this "stable" of great Mustangs.
This is a fantastic additition to what already was the best site out there.

He was dead on where the safeties are concerned. I paid attention at the Texas State game. It was a little different than Rossley's, but if the safeties drifted outside, BLM's first two progressions were slot receivers. If the safeties were inside, first two progressions were outside. If offset, each side changed progression accordingly. Texas State's secondary scheme was not sophisticated, and their corners were, well, not real good. But it still looked effective, even handicapping for Texas State's talent level.
The key seems to be whether the defense has the talent to pressure and confuse the QB at the same time. If your ends and safeties are studs, the Run/Shoot appears, IMHO, to become the chuck and duck.
