Miami coach Randy Shannon said he will play eight or nine receivers (four experienced) and asserted his tight ends ( Dedrick Epps and Co.) ''have made the biggest improvement'' of any position on offense ''since I've been the coach.'' The tight ends expect to be more involved in the passing game.

Yeah, but now he doesn't have his starting QB.

That doesn't leave many guys to block.

BillWrigley: Your math seems good to me! Except that with the formation rules, you'd have to have 5 down linemen... so the WRs are lining up on the line??? Awesome. Skinny, fast, linemen. Great.

Good point Husker fan. Looks like the Marve will need a quick release.

I love the idea - 8 or 9 receivers, 1 QB, 1 center, maybe 1 back.
Sure, there's a limit as to how many can go downfield, but lets make the defense guess...

Wait, maybe i should read the story...
