The Bills have had 3 free plays over the last two weeks, 2 last night and one against the Chargers. They have clearly built this into their offense to take advantage of a jumping defender. The key to get the free play is that the ball has to be snapped while the guy is Offside. Typically when a guy jumps, some lineman will jump too to get the Offside but that just results in 5 yards. That is worst case scenario when you get a jumper, that is a prime opportunity for a big chunk play. What the Packers do and what the Bills have started to do is to always be alert on this and if someone jumps Morse snaps the ball whether Allen has asked for it or not. This is really how you create the "free play" rather than once in a while just getting lucky to have someone jump just prior to you snapping the ball. You are always looking for it, Allen is always hard counting, trying to get guys to jump and the whole offense is trained to go on the snap of the ball in this type of situation. As long as the guy is Offside and it is a penalty there is no risk to the offense, a turnover will get brought back by accepting the penalty. Typically you just go deep, either get a completion or DPI....worst case scenario is you accept the 5 yard penalty. This offense continues to evolve and I love it!
There is a cool graphic on this webpage that shows how much Rodgers takes adavantage of these. The other QB's who do this well according to this are Wilson, Stafford, Ben, Brees and Mahomes.....and now Allen.https://operations.nfl.com/stats-cen...r-than-anyone/
