This play has been our kryptonite on defense for several years, and I have no idea why Clawson hasn’t put it in our playbook.
I understand the RB needs to help pick up the blitz and block sometimes, but when we send our amazing receivers out to the same side and have them take off in every direction, they absolutely clear out all the DBs. Dumping it off to the RB would get us 8-15 yards every single time. Yet we never, ever seem to do this.
I believe Clawson is one of the best coaches in the country and certainly a fantastic fit for the Deacons, but this oversight, combined with the inability to find a kicker that can kick the ball to the end zone, are among the most baffling issues that I can’t get a handle on. Up there with how Danny Manning could always coach a good first half, before folding like a house of cards.
