It enables the rb to get his eyes on the line quickly.



how can you say that when 90% of the runs out of that play ended up with the RB running into the back of the OL.

It actually does just the opposite. RB has a lack of options as far as cutting. Catching the ball with that much momentum is a fossil play from Miles 1970 playbook.

Ha ha. In a handoff play the rb has far less time to adjust. He cant adjust at all until he gets the ball closer to te LOS.
The toss play allows the rb more time to adjust because he doesnt have to run 2 yards to get the ball.

If its such a flawed play then why does Belichick use it? I guess he is archaic too
