In the double-wing formation the quarterback is moved out on to the weak side as a blocking back. The ball is typically snapped directly to the tailback or fullback. Coach Lovie Smith noted that the double-wing formation will allow the team to have promising young quarterbacks Orton and Grossman on the field at the same time, and thus allow the team to make a decision on which quarterback, if any, to retain should the team decide to return to a pro-style offense, which the coach noted was "unlikely."

Quarterback schmorterback. Isn't scoring points really the defense's job?
