Yep, under center in basically a run formation, effective play action fake, and rollout to throw to the crossing WR.

Not super creative, but good play design.

Missed this during the game but came upon it a minute ago, and... I! LOVE! THIS! Nothing like this happened in recent seasons prior!


Love the effort. Not a lot of bodies just stading around taking up space. Everyone in on a conjoined effort. It's great to see. I even remember seeing Riq on the tush push play by the Saints try and push the pile back instead of just standing there like he would normally do. Overall they get an A for effort.

Not gonna lie, you two.

On that Saubert pass by Darnold, while watching it live on the sideline view, I thought Sam was about to pull a Geno there and throw it into triple-coverage.

Did not see Saubert until after the pass was complete to him. Whew!

Same. I saw Kupp making his way to the goaline trailed by 3 defenders, then when the ball left Darnold's hand I thought, "oh no"! Luckily he was targeting Saubert. I have no doubt in my mind had that of been Geno, he would have forced it to Kupp.

The new RB signing, Khalil Herbert, has a number of highlights that look a lot like this play. So clearly MikeMac highly values that type of extra effort.

I absolutely love that play! Even K9 and JSN got in on the action.

Darnold can freaking move! And throw at the sane time!
