Some screens do, but the back is always the first option on a screen. When I watch the Ravens, and they are on regularly on CBS, I see them try and get the ball into Rice's hands on screens. As far as single back, they may do it more often than most. The Saints for example do it with Reggie and Pierre, and the other backs we've had like Deuce, Stecker, and Betts.Do you know which plays they've ran? Mooche has said that Flacco has had people going downfield and running other routes on his checkdowns.. some screens have other positions running routes too.
What Mooche is trying to say though, I believe, is that Flacco (unlike your top QB's who all have backs with high reception numbers) goes to the checkdown too quick. With Flacco it's hut, look at #1 option, he's not open, checkdown. Not look at #1, then #2, then #3, then checkdown. Your top QB's (Brady, Manning, Brees) look at ALL of their options before checking down.
