re: Short side option & play calling in general

To all offensive coordinators in TD:

Are all plays designed to break for a TD?

Are they all designed to make 4+ yards?

Thanks for the input -some better than others.

Good understanding of the game and intelligent comments! One point - sometimes defenses ARE set to overload the wide side but most often they respond to offensive alignment. It all depends on tendencies of the offense. So both arguements can be correct.

Point- SSO is designed to keep D honest but also to get the RB on the corner quickly to have a chance to get past the pursuit. The QB/RB have no choice but to turn it up, where one missed tackle can lead to a long gain. Major problem - JJ almost never ran it correctly to either side.
