Q Just a comment on your adice to throw deep to S. Smith. My son played high school football for a South Carolina legend, Willie Varner. He also coached Tony Rice, the quarterback who won 4 state titles for Woodruff High School, then won a national championship at Notre Dame for Lou Holtz. Coach Varner said that Tony could throw a football for 75 yards easily, so the first offensive play was to put the two fastest guys on the team on the outside and let Tony throw as deep as he could. Sometimes the pass would be caught, most times not. But the one thing for sure, there is no more crowding the line of scrimmage.

A: Gary: I love it. I once did a long story on Willie Varner, and this sounds just like something he would do.
