I want to dive right into one of the most creative plays that I can recall seeing in terms of game-planning favorable match-ups: The Dreessen TD.

Initially, the play looks standard… Peyton Manning hitting a TE in the back of the end zone for 6. We’ve seen it a hundred times (literally). But something caught my eye on the lineup of this play:

Curiously enough, that’s Dreessen at the top of the image lined up at split end in a single-back shotgun formation. Now my curiosity’s piqued and I start examining the play closer. That’s Tamme underneath in the slot. Now I’m wondering if they’re using the formation to give Decker or Demaryius an isolated match-up at flanker.

…nope. That’s Virgil Green.

Three Tight Ends split out wide in a shotgun? And if all of our TE’s are playing outside… who the heck is on the LOS at TE?!?!? Chris Clark, our swing tackle and extra goalline blocker.Rest at: http://patrickturley.org/brilliance-in-match-ups/

Sorry, I'd post more, but it's hard with the pics I have up to visually show what I'm talking about.

I like it. The only 250 and above package.

they sent in this JUMBO to get run defenderrs as a counter. remember they shifted in to this formation after initially lining up like a run package formation, the defense was totally confused!
it was a piece of cake to complete that pass ! brilliance indeed !
I always like our chances when we are the SMARTEST team on the field !
