So the only other level this can be groundbreaking is in the passing game, and here is where laterals run counter to NFL strategy. In order to lateral you obviously need two players, but scheming a nice gain in football is generally designed around getting a player in space with as few people around as possible. You don't want Kelce running routes with Rice 5 yards away ready for a lateral, that's just inviting problems. Couple that with the fact that unlike in Rugby, the defense is always at a fairly large advantage tackling wise given the Oline and probably QB are out of the play once the ball is thrown down field, and you are going to have to find a lateral play that can attack 4 or so vs 6-8 guys. So even if the lateral works, it's probably not going for some huge gain. Ultimately there is a reason kelce has done this like 4 times in hundreds of catches in his career. It's just not a viable NFL strategy to consistently do and spend time on practicing. |

This is starting to get to Rich Scanlon levels of absurdity.
