Default Bases of the future

Okay guys, I am sitting here watching college game day and checking the chat board. I was reading about the concern for recievers getting off the line and I realize that I have a great recieving corp with unique abilities to standard bases. I love to tweak bases and I have been playing around lately with making bases do things that they normally don't do.

So here is my challenge...

Be a miniature football base designer for a few minutes and think up a base that you think would make the game better! Think of a base that...if it could do "this or that" it would create a paradigm shift and make the game evenbetter!

If I can tweak a baase or make a new "frankenstein base" to mimic your idea I will send you one or two.
Joe

i know this is stupid.... but remember when you were younger and had that toy from the cracker jacks that had a spring mounted on a suction cup....you push it down and the spring made it jump up in the air like 10 seconds later,

I always wanted to make a base for goal line runs that would do that....run about 3 or 4 yards and POP into the air to try and leap the defensive line to score.

But i thought also that a base with say, a rubber band with tension so the base could start out sideways, then the dial would be turned by the band and the base would then go straight.

i dunno...to much time on my hands i guess

Wow !! Rick I would love to see either of those two bases in action.
As long as it was not against me.LOL

So the RB goes Over the top . greatness.

Joe what have you started??

How about this.

You have a WR on the base but where the base and the player meet he is on a swivel stick. As the Corner trys to grab him the player not the base spends around throwing the corner off and goes straight??
Make that Joe and send me two.
Thanks great idea JOe

For defensive players mainly in leagues that use front of the base tackling. Just brainstorming...don't know that this is important, but i had to come up with something. No back of the base tackling with this one.

OK....I call this the Inez Sainz base. Turn the dials to enhance the excitement of game play. A light brushing with your fingers causes the dials to vibrate like a purring kitty.

Watch...this will lead to dual dials or even quad dials for improved directional control and i was just being dirty!
