Its been covered, but I'm replying anyway.

Running toss dive =/= running toss dive into 10 men in the box. When you have fullbacks like we do, you've got a lead blocker that can wreak havoc and spring a guy like Fournette or Guice.

But its still a numbers game. So if the other team cheats up on the line, having a lead blocker doesn't mean anything. They've still got numbers.

But when you (gasp) actually show a little diversity on offense and use the play action effectively, you can run things like toss dive because the defense has to respect the pass. Then you've got a guy that, if he makes a block and your RB can hit that next gear, he can take it to the house.

We are actually going to complete mid to long passes consistently and it will open up the running game for Fournette and Guice and play action will actually work this time.

It will be an interesting game to watch.

Gone are the "I'm going to toss dive every other play with my stud RB and hope we wear the best defense in football out by the 4th quarter days"

I predict a toss dive, ran at the right time, is going to go for big yards this game, because it will be actually set up properly.
