One of the various bright spots for the 2016 version of ADM football is the man under center or lack there of in quarterback Sam McCartney.

The ADM offense in recent years, including 2016, has been a spread type offense with the quarterback in the shotgun formation for the vast majority of the time. Now in 2016 with head coach Mike Whisner’s continuous effort for a balanced run and pass approach, along with the mobility of Sam McCartney, the ADM football world might just see the quarterback position actually under center more and more.

That same mobility that Sam McCartney provides, offers the team and coach Whisner a whole host of options to work with including a fair amount under center as he told to Raccoon Valley Radio.

“Kinda put an emphasis this year of having him under center more which makes him even more of a threat because is he going to pass or is he going to run. You have that with the spread (offense) but now he’s five yards closer to the line of scrimmage. He has a lot of tools that we can use and we could bring another quarterback in and use him (McCartney) at different positions. He does a nice job of making our offense run efficiently,” explained coach Whisner.

Coach Whisner and Sam McCartney will have another test ahead of them this week as the Harlan Cyclones come into town hungry for their first district win while the Tigers are looking for their second. Make sure to catch that game on K107.9FM and online at raccoonvalleyradio.com with pregame coverage at 7:00 followed by kickoff at 7:30.
