Shady and Clay out the backfield along with Sammy and Woods split wide with Harvin in the slot would make for a very versatile talent team. Clay can block as a fullback so having Clay in the backfield doesn't dial it in as a pass. But you have two players that could legit catch the ball out the backfield and then having 3 wideouts all of whom you have to account for spread out the field.

 

Only question is will the O-line and QB hold up.

Is Cassel the only QB we can trust to make the right pre-snap read?

Its actually going to be more about the read than the formation.

 

A good formation is anyone which presents a clear action (we are going to run this down your throat or we are gonna throw the ball deep).

 

When the formation makes a clear statement then the D is forced to react.

 

The Bills then need to have the QB make the proper read that the way the opponent has reacted now leaves them vulnerable to a particular type of attack (if the FS cheats toward the LOS so that there are 8 defenders in the box, then all the WRs (and maybe the TE) run fly patterns or stop and go's deep. Alternately, if the reaction of the Dis is to dt Watkins, or Harvin, and in particular both, then the Bills either audible to or simply runs the play called and McCoy if the D is covering deep.

 

The other thing to remember here is not only does the QB need to make what actually should be a simple read (I am pretty confident all our QBs should be able to make the needed read) but also the WRs and other O players will need to make the same read. If not the pass will simply fall in complete if the WR cuts his route short.
