LNBS: Calling options / Adding reverse action downfield

[lcarus]

Contact after downfield completions occurs too quick typically to attempt it. You could draw some stuff up for short routes for when the defense is playing deep I guess but then every team has plays for that and they only use it when they're desperate at the end of half or 4th quarter. And you see how those plays typically work out...

This reminds me. When we had 4 seconds left I was hoping our offense would get a chance. Yes they squibbed it right down the middle but hell they could have told the returner to quickly throw it out of bounds slightly behind them or run out if possible. I wanted to see Mahomes try to throw a 75 yard hail mary lol.

He could have just taken a knee and used zero seconds. Do not know what that didn't happen.

Yeah you're right. A knee would've worked too. I guess they figured a return was their best shot. I would've said to let the offense get the final play. Who knows you might get a penalty and have a shot at a game winning FG.

Better odds than a multi-lateral kick return UNLESS the offense doesn't have that gadget and KR does. Judging by what I saw, the KR unit didn't have one.

It was our version of the Music City Miracle. The Kansas City Pitiful.

You train your receivers to read the defenders and analyze if/when they should lateral to the crosser. Or, you call each route with a chaser route and have the primary receiver catch it, then run the option downfield - keep or pitch.

What are you cutting from practice to install this?

Also, what cyborgs are you drafting to run it?

Because scheduling the install for new packages is something that professional football players and coaches aren’t accustomed to doing.

As far as the type of player capable of handing the ball to a teammate or not handing the ball to a teammate, I’m just not sure. We’d probably have to develop them in a lab.

I give up...go find a team and run it. Post video here please.
