During yesterday's (1/4/2025) Coffee and Football video, Bobby said that Sark doen't run short passes over the middle to stay away from tipped ball interceptions. Questions: Doesn't this take away 1/4 to 1/2 of the width of the field in the 1 to 10-15 yards downfield of the line of scrimmage? My pea-brain says that this reduces a tremendous potential coverage area for opposing LBs and DBs. (KC Chiefs sure seem to run a lot of plays like this.) Could this be a fertile area for 2-4 receivers crossing with potential to rub off (pick) a defender, run receivers at different depths, put more stress on defense. OTF commentators talk about "breaking tendencies" - maybe we will see a shift against tOSU? Hook'em.
