Dope write up! What would you say are the weakness in this 7 bracket? Looks like motion can create some confusion. I know it is 3 & goal from the 5 and a pass is likely. However, numbers in the box are tempting as a possible weak point. 2 deep safeties have to be involved in run fits somehow, so maybe even play action/rpo? Good stuff!

Appreciate the comment! I agree that the box is light so an inside run might not be the worst play call, but having to gain 5 makes it less likely. As Hurts mentions, often in 7 bracket you're looking for the single. The #1 receiver to the bracket side has one-on-one coverage, so a route combo such as Levels with the #1 receiver underneath could have success. In addition, I like the Eagles play call here -- if Hurts throws to Watkins a half-second earlier I think he walks in to the endzone.

Gotta win those 1v1 matchups! That's why you get paid the big bucks. I'd be interested to see the 3x1 adjustment on a motion from 2x2. Also, run keys and reads for those safeties. Good stuff, man!
