Goal line offensive strategy

[Freddie's Dead]

Tackle eligible or the Butch Rolle should be open all day long as well as we've been running the ball inside the 10.

Did you read the entire post?

 

 

I’ve seen plenty of times when Josh runs a bootleg and the goal is to have him run for the first down with no receivers as an outlet.

 

I mean, perhaps the TV angle makes it so you can’t see a receiving option in view, but I am pretty confident that I’ve seen plays where there was a bootleg without a specific receiver in the field.

 

 

 

As I mentioned in the original post.

 

So I don't get it.  Are you then saying they just don't run the same play enough?  

Kelce scores on the little shovel pass from Mahommes almost 100% of the time, but that doesn't mean they run it every game.  

Have to keep the opposing defense guessing.  You can run a similar scheme but from a different formation too.  

 

Or you can score multiple ways.  The little WR screen to Diggs worked great last year. I have not seen them run that this year that I recall.  But this year he has already caught two TD passes on RPO's.

 

Fans get all caught up in play calling when 90% of it is execution.  

 

Run the ball better in the red-zone and that will open the passing game too.

Yeah, I'm saying the last time I saw the play as described was last year in New England, worked perfectly. Then I didn't see it again until this past Sunday.

 

The play is so well designed that it's nearly impossible to defend. So why break it out once in a blue moon?

I've been talking about this for a while now.  Plays of the type the OP mentions should be the only thing we do down around the 5 yard line or closer.  Ball needs to be in Josh's hands and with a choice of running or passing.  He can't be stopped in those situations...at least not 3 or 4 times in a row.
