Over/Under on the dumbest offensive play in football this year? 5 per game?

really not that bad a play.

It has about the same success rate as a hand off up the middle

As long as we don't run the option to the short side of the field, which I find 10000000000000000000000000x dumber than a toss dive.

Pitching the ball to the best running back in the country & letting him pick a lane is far from the dumbest play in football. I would be thrilled with 5

If you knew anything about football you might not post stupid stuff.
One value of the toss dive is it presents "read" difficulties for the line backers. When they see a toss they are taught to react by moving to the outside since most tosses are for sweeps. That has the effect of giving the O-linemen a better blocking angle and of opening up the middle where the linebacker's movement has vacated. If they don't take that initial step to the outside, then a toss sweep will make them hesitate and get to the outside late. Damned if you do and damned if you don't.
You are welcome.

the rant thinks the toss dive is a dumb play.

the rant is dumb and doesn't know shite about football.

in real life (no xbox, etc) and in big boy football, the toss dive is a damn good play if you have a damn good OL and a damn good RB. therefore, damn good coaches call that play.

Watch Jeremy Gill's LSU highlights and you'll change your opinion. More than half of his long runs were this play.
