re: If you could start the season with one guaranteed play..

Do you mean 2nd and 4? That is stupid. You would almost always want to save it for 4th down.

This is a dumbass thread to be analyzing like this fwiw.

If you constantly run the same play on 4th down for 6 yards, it forces the defense to blitz basically on every down. Makes them a lot more predictable because you have 3 plays to make 4 yards.

Plus you could run a different play on 4th down after you ran it 10 times for 6 yards and pretty much be gauranteed a TD.

Dumb thread.

he was implying something else.

You only get one play.

The run you can use twice for 3.5 yards per play, the pass you can use one for 6 yards per play.

Either or, not both.

Yes imo the run is the poor choice. I think a play action slant that is gauranteed 6 yards every time is the way to go.

It sets up the run and is a play that exposes the LBs if they blitz to try and stop the run which they are going to have to do if we get 6 yards ever 1st down. I wonder if "the play" can go longer than 6 or 3.5 yards or if it is only is good for that much.

I knew my usleless stupid theread would actually draw out some quality analysis and discussion.

To answer a few questions that arose:

You are allowed only one play that is a sure deal either the run or the pass. That play may be used once in four downs if a pass and twice in 4 downs if a run. There was no implication that you were allowed one play it was spelled out in the original post quite clearly.

Although every play has the potential to break big for this scenario, "the play" is only good for exactly 3.5 or 6 yards and no more.



My choice would be typical shotgun formation Halfback dive for 3.5 yards. I like establishing the run first especially from a one back formation. Eventually they would have to stack the box allowing the TE to run a short hook route or the WR to run wheel routes. The biggest drawback here is the loss of clock control with "the play" when you need to run a 2 min offense.

Oh, I agree but I would likely play it safe and keep one of the 2 for 4th down if needed instead of running them back to back on first and second down.
