Smith72 Moderator No. 2 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Thanks Coach Boles! Always nice to have the analysis articles you contribute to the Forum. I agree that this is the kind of play that QB Nix is good at reading. Learning more about Coach Stein will help make the time pass more quickly until Spring practices. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck Moderator No. 3 Share Posted January 5, 2023 I love seeing the use of the TE more. Great play and analysis of Stein's offense. It would seem like a last option might be the QB to keep the ball and run the other way if the defense collapses on the direction of the play. This would give the qb the ability to get outside and run to the sideline, if it the defense opens up like that. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost certain that there is no option for the QB to run the ball in this play. That would be a ton of first level reading to have to read a playside defender and then a backside. I’m not sure how the timing would work out on that either. But, you could probably run a constraint that looks exactly the same with the read being the backside, but then you’ll want to block that playside guys so your QB isn’t blasted looking the other way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Log Haulin No. 5 Share Posted January 5, 2023 You could use this play to set up your play side TE in the passing game. Release on the block have the TE from back side picking it up. Bang bang 7 yards. Risk is selling it at line without getting lineman caught 4 yards down field. Also risk holding on your receiver. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you did that as a play action, there’d be nothing to worry about. But if you found a way to make it an RPO, and was able to make the timing work, you can always just have the receivers run routes instead of blocking. You would have to go with the more traditional Power Read blocking and read the edge guy that the TE is no longer blocking. Otherwise you have to first level playside guys unblocked. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of moving parts with my scenario. Pretty complex. I think Nix could pull it off. Not sure on risk reward? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timing is the issue I run into, but I’m sure there are people smarter than I that could work it out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake Moderator No. 9 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Nice play. The LG can be a wrecking ball of sorts. Having an OL with a full head of steam lead blocking through the gap is not exactly what the DBs are hoping to see. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioDuck No. 10 Share Posted January 5, 2023 If we sign Harbor imagine him getting that pitch with the potential that play has of getting the tight end to the second level. I'm ready, when does next season start? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirklandduck Moderator No. 11 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Love these analysis articles, thanks Coach Boles! I'm sure Ferguson and McCormick are licking their chops at the prospect of running this play...being able to rumble through a big gap for big yards. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseKwacker No. 12 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Man, I love plays like this one. In my fantasy world, I have a job scheming up plays like this one with numerous options. (In this fantasy world, I've gained about 50 IQ points over my present intellectual status. ) Thanks for the analysis, Coach. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
