fellas -
We are looking to put in a short yardage formation. The only thing we are planning on doing out of it is lead, dive, or QB sneak. Problem is that my starting center is not exactly the toughest kid we have, if you get my drift. He does a great job with the shotgun snap and does very well for what we do most of the time on offense (shotgun spread), but he doesn't really have enough lead in his pencil for something like this. He's also not a really big kid (about 175 pounds).
Now, one of our starting DTs is also our back-up center. Big, strong tough kid (5-10, 270), but doesn't move really well. What I'm thinking about doing for this particular formation is taking my regular center out and putting the big kid in to give us a little more beef up front.
Does anyone see a problem with this? What I am specifically worried about is our QB having to go under center with a new center (not the guy he is used to). Are we running the risk of having a bad center-QB exchange if a new center comes in?
Again, we are a shotgun spread team, so it's not like our QB is normally under center. He is almost exclusively in gun.
