Why not put Johnson, Walter, Jones, and Anderson on the field at the same time more often?

THE ALIGNMENT

1) Tilt the field with possession WRs to Schaub's strong side and speed WRs to his blind side (Walter and Anderson on the right, Johnson and Jones on the left). Have Johnson and Anderson on the inside since they are more of a threat to make catches over the middle of the field.

2) Have Schaub under center. He is most comfortable making the timing throws after a drop-back, and DE's remain uncertain about their pass rush angles.

3)  Slaton can start out wide and motion to the backfield or start in the backfield and motion out wide.

THE REASONING

1) We cannot run the ball against a stacked box. Our linemen do not generate a push, and our runners do not have the power to fall forward. So why not spread the field and allow Slaton to try and juke a linebacker instead of run through him?

2) Our passing game is darn good, but we do not have a proven pass-catching TE any more. Schaub can make primary reads on quick passes to Walter and Anderson before looking at Johnson or Jones down the field or across the middle. Sending Anderson in motion over to the left side and then running a quick out is also an option.

3) The formation is relatively balanced, providing anything from a screen pass to a deep bomb. It puts a lot of pressure on Schaub to make multiple reads and deliver solid passes, but the formation has the potential to stretch out the defense and get the offense in a rhythm.

I think it is time that we saw more of these kinds of formations early in the game, as long as Schaub is willing to come out slingin' it.
