nice but how many times did they run it? i dont remember this play used much at all.
i would say the chief execution is better with the rb running through the ball
None because it doesn't really work in the RZ. It didn't work for either.

In the Chiefs example, the Colts DE blew his edge contain. In the Cowboys play, the DE didn't hold C-gap leverage and the unblocked LB went to the wrong gap because of it (might be other way around, hard to know without assignments). In either play, it doesn't work if the defense maintains any discipline.

Without a play fake to get a false step from LBs, this play is useless more than once or twice a season. With the play fake, it's basically a standard jet sweep.

If you don’t fool them it doesn’t work
Just like most red zone plays
It’s so compressed inside the 10 that you have to fool them much of the time

They have already done this with Tavon Austin.



It is literally the exact same play and formation

Yea I said in another thread that we have ran this play before. Thanks for posting it.

Right, and it's almost impossible to fool a defense when they have a backside player unblocked.

It's why I hate anything lateral inside the 5. This play worked, but by and large, these plays are gimmicky and not something to really build an offense on.

To be fair, I do think it's a good concept and way to use Pollard/Austin's speed. Move defense one way, give them the ball back the other.

But Dallas has been doing this for a long time, and I hate it in the red zone lol.

It’s not something you can do often but anything half way creative is likely to work for us since they will be expect Zeke, pass to TE or fade
That all we did last year

If you watch Boise State games when Kellen Moore was the QB, you'll see them run that exact play over 7 years before the KC play in the video.
He ran some creative stuff with them
It’s a gimmick but it gives teams something to think about that you can run other things of of
