Teaching Points (How Diche Blows Up a Poorly Conceived Play)
Mike McCoy and Sam Bradford have both said recently that they are trying out a number of different plays to see which ones fit their personnel. They said that they are going to sit down and chart the plays that they like best—-and scrap the plays that they don’t like.
Here is a play to scrap—-for good—-from the playbook, with all of the reasons why.
Shotgun formation (Josh Rosen #3), single RB (Chase Edmonds #29) left of QB—-sweep right to Edmonds, where McCoy wants RT Andre Smith (#71) to down block on DT Robert Nkemdiche (#90) so that C Mason Cole (#64) and RG Justin Pugh (#67) can pull and lead the sweep around the corner.
