Byron can run!

He'll just pull both hamstrings, rip a calf and both separate his shoulder and break a hip when he falls to the ground in pain after the pulling and ripping.

But he can run!

Makes me wonder if somewhere, there's a high school picture of him being carted off the field in a wheelchair. Just to make a "Life and Times of Byron Leftwich" mural. You need the "injured in high school" pic to go with the college and pro ones. Maybe find a junior high and pee-wee picture of him being carried off the field by a coach, too, to be truly complete.

Not kidding, that was one of the funniest plays ever. I was laughing my ass off when he made it to the endzone. I couldn't believe it.

I was searching for a vid of the run (no luck, shit quality) and came across this.

Shocks the world!

I remember a back when Dallas tried to run the option with Quincy Carter and it failed miserably. I went along with the pundits and didn't think it would ever work. I guess it's here to stay. You still can't focus you're entire offense around it, but throwing it in there has shown to be very effective. On the bad side, it opens up your QB to injury.

Yeah I'm with you man. As a cowboys fan who purchased a QC jersey I really thought it was going to get big then when he completely failed I figured it just would never work. Maybe DCs will adjust who knows but it looks like more teams in the NFL are going to try it.

It's probably worth noting that Carter was pretty shitty anyway and as stated the option has evolved. If I'm not mistaken Dallas ran a traditional type of option. The zone read allows for much more in general.

I hope it's here to stay. I used to hate on it when it came around in the college game, mostly because OSU got smoked at the hands of Florida, but it's grown on me. It's pretty cool to see an NFL defense (ie GB) get completely owned by it.

I agree. But he's still mobile enough, I think. I was only trying to find someone in the draft that they could use

Honest question: is Kelly's offense the type of offense ***** could run well?

It was like mid to late season. I remember all the analysts were like "THIS IS HIS HEISMAN MOMENT!!!!!!!!!" and tried to hype him up for the Heisman because of it.

I have no idea how he's going to adapt his offense to the NFL, so I have no productive input.

At least having your "Heisman moment" being carried off the field injured is better than having your "Heisman moment" being the death of a fake girlfriend!

@AdamSchefter: Former Browns HC Pat Shurmur is expected to join Chip Kelly's coaching staff in Philadelphia, likely as Eagles' offensive coordinator.
