Not only does that increase the likelihood of a turnover (because in a sense you're not as "alone" if you have a simple miscue), but you also can't easily plan for the spacing you may or may not have given that you'd have to go into the next dimension of the play in considering where the defenders would be during the lateral downfield. It would truly be some next level shit if that became a regular part of the playbook.

I'm happy for someone else to figure that out first. We have enough gimmicks in our offense.
Maybe you scout the defense's reaction to certain receptions when they are in a particular coverage, and know where the space will open up.

Also, if you call these along the sideline, the ball just goes out of bounds if the pitch is missed.
