What ever happened to the lead draw?

[Pokes12]

to the lead draw? Felix and Barber gashed defenses with that play. Have not seen it at all this year.

Where is the fullback to lead it?

D-

My guess is they have tried to impose a running game. That's not a run that imposes your will. I do wish they would run it against the blitz at times.

BTW, nice discussion of the lead draw by Chris Brown here:

I think we last used the I-Formation during the first year of the Bush Administration. It's been a while..

Nice post as usual.

It died when The Moose retired.

You don't have to have a lead back although I'd at least use an F back. I'd also use this with a one back formation and spread the receivers to decrease the defenders in the box. I'd like to see Dunbar run this play and pass plays to him out of the backfield.

Good question. It is probably in the same place as the screen pass and end around. If you find them, tell them we miss them and would welcome them back.

Although, I suspect they will suddenly appear after Garrett gets fired.

I like the frequency we use it now better than when it was our entire running game.

A fullback isn't even usually on the field when you run the lead draw...

It can't be a "lead" draw without the lead blocker. It can be a draw play, but not a lead draw.

By that thinking I guess it will be a long time before we see those again.

You don't have a speed back to run it. I really think in the draft they need to address the RB position with some pedigree and I don't agree with not taking a RB in the first rd

Yeah. I think the OP is referring to the draw play we've used in recent years. Callahan hasn't really implemented that play much this season...yet

Then he mislabeled the thread.

 

[TonyRomo17]

they used it vs the rams i think

 

[Derinyar]

What happened to the lead draw is simple. This is a passing league in which you are better off running 3 wide sets with two pass catching TE as opposed to someone who is a backfield blocker. I suspect that most of the league has been using fewer and fewer fullback snaps.

The delay draw is a weapon. I would like to see it make a comeback.

i always preferred the shotgun delay draw myself.
