How about some TE traps?

[NorthwestDallas40]

You see this play all the time from Green Bay, San Francisco and others. Two TE set. One TE is offset playing H-back. The offside guard lets his man go by and doubles the nose tackle or moves on to the linebacker. The H-back comes down behind the line and traps the DT who is not expecting that hit. And the back runs right up behind the HB.

This is a great play when your interior line is struggling because it really starts getting the DT's thinking about flying off the ball and into the backfield (where they get cracked by the H-back), and thus, slows down their push. We have the players (Witten and Phillips, and even Hanna) to make this work. Why doesn't Red have this in the playbook?

Witten cannot block the man right in front of him, and neither can our Guards, so what is the point? The stretch and draw is all we can run because it gives Murray a chance to make one cut and hit the seam, our Line cannot make holes to begin with for some reason.
