In yesterday's Friday with Fran column, Fran broaches the subject of a special role in the offense for back-up QB Jerrod Johnson. In answer to a question from Robert '89 from Katy, Fran mentions splitting Johnson out wide on one side, with Martellus Bennett on the other, giving McGee the option of throwing a fade to a 6'6 receiver on the left or a 6'7 receiver on the right.
Personally, as a fan of the single wing, I'd rather see Johnson, McGee, and Lane aligned in shotgun, split-backs in the backfield, with the possibility of a direct snap to any one of the three players and a power sweep with two lead blockers, but I don't call the plays for this team. Those three in the backfield would also make a nice shotgun inside or outside veer threat, as well as a deadly load option combo.
