Always go to the precision truck at the end of runs

I've found that making cuts with your LEFT stick is not only quicker, but more effective. You don't lose your speed, and it won't get you a 4-yard loss.

I've tried running more out of spread formations, but they don't have all of the plays I want in pistol spread.

I wish we could make our own plays...

I'd have the following in pistol spread:

1. Levels
2. Flood
3. Texas
4. Drive
5. Slant/Curl-Flat
6. Smash
7. Inside Zone
8. Outside Zone/HB Stretch
9. HB Counter
10. 01 Trap
11. Wham

Any tips on running a power scheme? I feel like angles make things so much easier for the OL. Why reach block and have a high chance of getting beat by an agile d-lineman when I can pull my backside G and get easy down blocks?
