What I mean is, when Ryan is under center and Turner is in the backfield, the defense usually will crash down on the guards and center because that is typically where the ball goes. I would like to see more pro sets (Ryan under center, 2 RB in the backfield side by side) and 2 back sets out of shotgun when Turner is in the game. Let Ryan have the option to audible in these situation, if it looks like the D is going to crash down, run off tackle with one of the backs. In shotgun formation, it would also allow Turner to stay in as a blocker and let the other RB slip out as a hot read.
