Typically the motion man will loop back 10 yards or so and then turn and hit the line at full speed. N.C. He has played like a house afire in his first games with the Rhinos, praised by coaches as perhaps the top defender. That wall is for the defender. Quarterback Oscar Davenport likes the motion offense. You can get an edge by having a guy come off the line like that, he says.
Some teams run motion on every play.
Davenport is probably the Rhinos best known player at this point. He was highly regarded by NFL scouts and was projected as a high draft choice until he suffered a devastating knee injury. The good news is that the knee looks solid, and the soft-spoken QB stands poised to show Af2 fans the combination of physical ability and inspirational leadership he can bring to the field. But he'll have to do it with a team of players who were virtual strangers a few weeks ago. It's kind of a funny experience, he agrees, but we've got some really good athletes on this team.
