36 MINS AGO - Ken Blaze-USA TODAY Sports Offenses in any sport who have called plays, actions, or “set pieces” have two advantages: they know where they will go, and they know when or how they will go there. This is as true for a pick and roll in basketball as it is for a corner kick in soccer, as it is for a called play in football. Though there may be reads and real-time adjustments to plays, the offense knows the play and the defense doesn’t. Or, at least, the defense shouldn’t. In football, good offensive design is about creating multiple legitimate options off of one look for the defense. Whether that means the triple option from a wishbone formation, an RPO from a spread set, or a play action pass from the I formation is a matter of style. The substance is getting your play action and your run to look exactly the same so that the defense cannot key in on the differences and know which is coming.

2 DAYS AGO - Photo by Jason Miller/Getty Images The debut of Kareem Hunt sees a lot of two-back plays on offense. Below, we analyze the snap counts and stats on offense for the Cleveland Browns’ Week 10 game against the Buffalo Bills. We are right in the middle of Baker Mayfield’s turnaround. He went turnover free for the first time last week in 2019, and he didn’t cough it up against Buffalo either. On top of that, Mayfield had two high marks against a good Bills secondary: his first two-touchdown game of the year, and his highest completion percentage. When you look at all of the Browns’ goal line issues, I can’t blame them on Mayfield this week. The plays were either runs that were stuffed, or passes that drew pass interference penalties or were dropped. The negatives: he still isn’t on the same page with Odell Beckham, which nearly led to an interception. He also got a little too calm in his own end zone, taking a safety that tied the game up for Buffalo. Nick Chubb’s goal line Collapse
