Lots of big guys in on this play. Hixson getting some run at guard. If the pass game continues to develop, it may not be an issue of being great on RB run plays, but good enough to take some pressure off of needing Adrian to create.

Looks to me like #69 should have at least chipped #95 as he's pulling. If the ball doesn't get pulled back from #14, then that play goes nowhere.

in fact, #69 blocks nobody on that play.
It is a classic misdirection with the linemen. LB's will often read the pulling linemen and follow them to the play. In this case, blocking someone was apparently not the primary goal. Getting the D to bite hard to the inside was.

The hated swing pass done right.

Allen and Vokolek sustaining blocks on the edge was beautiful.
I’ve seen Manning do some good work outside also. Need to keep getting the ball in space…. but not resort back to the predictable sideline screens where WR’s couldn’t block.

Loved the look. And the 14 personnel.

My Madden brain wants to take it one step further and line up Banks there too for a goal line set of...

Allen - Prochazka - Corcoran - Hixson - Jurgens - Sichterman - Benhart - Banks - Vokolek
Martinez
Yant

I know he's gone but MO was the difference maker. This play can be 6 with a guy like that. Problem I've seen is the offense is predicated on having game changers at wr and rb and when you don't have them you get sub 30 ppg.....or worse.

The QB plays a huge role also getting balls delivered on time and in stride.
I’ve said a bunch we don’t get enough completions from simple routes and rely too much on broken plays and/or stationary targets.
Once the guys stops moving his feet, YAC are severely limited.
