Film Study: LaFleur's Playbook - Slant/Wheel

Last week we dug deep(ish) into the Smash and Mesh concepts, staples of West Coast/Air Raid offenses. This week we're going to dial it back a notch and just look at the play at hand. And oh what a play it is.

The first thing to note is the formation. The Titans are aligned in a Full House Pistol formation, which is something that makes me happy just typing it. They pull the TE on the left for a run block, then show play action to the RB. Those two movements - the pull block and the play action - help sell the run, which collapses the defense to the middle.
