Sorry, guys. It's a paid episode. I did not know when I posted it.

Cliff notes?

Well here is a presumably shorter YouTube video of this 

 

Cliff notes:

 

- these types of stunts are used on about 3% of run plays due to quality of OLine in NFL

 

- can be devastating and used more frequently at lower levels due to poor line play

 

- Texans use 7% of the time, Jets and 49ers, similar schemes employ them at higher rate with Jets leading NFL

 

- pre-snap shift from and over to under front.

This is suggesting is works best on porous offensive lines. Do the Bills really qualify as a below average OL? Would love to see a breakdown of how often this was used against the Bills vs other teams.

Turk, I especially appreciate the second youtube video as it has the diagram providing color to the scheme.  I know this stunt, but by a different name.  It’s been a long time since I coached and even longer since I played, but can work.  The problem is if you face an elite front 5 O Line, they can counter amd open a big hole.
