This is also something I've wondered about. How many of the WR screens are RPOs or plays with other options that Raiola is choosing to throw to the screen. There is a WR screen to the other side of the field so it looks like it was an option on this play.
I don't know if we found a different look or what but from here through the rest of the game our RB run game was probably the best it's been all season. Against the best defense.
We've definitely run split zone before but I'm not sure we ran it out of this look.
Obviously a horrid call and I don't really have a problem with the shot here. But it would seem that the primary look should have been to the bunch set with numbers to the other side. Wide open short out that we could have thrown.
It doesn't look like we did anything special here. Maybe just caught them in a blitz they didn't fit right. But it was nice to see some yards from the RB run game.
Here's another example of options. There is a screen set up to the wide side. So it would appear that there was an option to throw it there. Also a short hook route.
It looks like this was supposed to be the same TE trap play that we ran earlier. But the OL screws it up and blocks the guy we were supposed to trap and then there's a pile up.
