Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 2924110, member: 1992"] Morks, the defensive line is ALWAYS set in that scenario. I have carefully watched that circumstance for years and mentally contrast it with the 20 metre tap (7 or 6 tackles no difference) First tackle invariably makes 8-9 metres yet in the instance we are discussing it is down to 3-4 metres. I think you're way off base if you believe a flat footed defensive line will be up in our faces, it never is from a 20m restart and this is no different. What would be different is the dummy half would have multiple options, certainly by the third tackle. Currently, with quick ptbs and no one to choose from we don't or aren't able to have multiple choices until the fourth or fifth hit up. If it was tried and guys stopped relying on our one outs to get them back onside we'd see a net gain of 25-30 metres overall. Next time you watch a game take notice of how many metres are made from a penalty/20 metre tap and then how many from the kick downfield. [/QUOTE]
