Mine:
Personnel:
OL: 6 - Murphy, Garnett, Schuler, Caspers, Tucker, Bright
TE: 1 - Hooper
WR 1 - Cajuste
RB: 2 - Love, CMac
QB: Hogan
Formation: It's the WildCaff! with Cajuste split wide to the right, Love in backfield, and Hooper on the left next to Bright.
Play:Â Fake handoff to Love, CMac runs forward two steps and tosses jump pass to a wide open Hooper for the TD.
This play will win the game and send CMac to New York next week!
I like the package but I'm going with misdirection.
Fake to CMac & send Love to the flat, then one of two plays called at the line depending on how the defense lines up
If the side away from Love is uncovered or only has one guy out there (i.e., 8 in the box), naked bootleg with Hooper heading to the sideline at or near the goal line. There will be at most two defenders on that side and Hogan will either force the LB to come at him and then throw to Hooper or run for 5-10 if the LB stays with Hooper
If the side away from Love is covered, Love in the flat or Cajuste 10-15 yards upfield near the sideline (because one or the other or both will be in single coverage)
And I would repeat the same personnel & play options until I get down inside the 2 when it's Heavy Heavy Jumbo (8OL + FB + RB)
Could also send McCaffrey to the wide side for a pitch or a fake and hit Hooper over the middle on 2nd/3rd.
So many weapons, so many choices, and a willingness to use them (most of the time). That's what I love most about the offense this year.
