Once receivers are set in a position...
that's it for them.
Only the players between the tackles may be moved around. The QB and 2 backs.
My logic here is that in our system, it takes up too much extra time and you probably can make that decision to tun a player before the play ever started so go ahead and get that done. It just frees up 10-15 seconds here and there which impacts the efficiency of the game.
We don't refer to it as shifts or pivots. We literally pick the players up and move them around the backfield. Have you seen how a back will start in the Power-I and move into the Pro-set. We are just trying to simulate that.
I know the question becomes "Why them and not the receivers". Simply, time is always of the essence and efficiency is the utmost important to quality in a game for us.
