You’ll see the pocket starting to form because defensive ends will drive the offensive tackles into the back field while the defensive tackle tries to drive the guard or center into the face of the QB. This opens up big holes for the running back to go through when you make the handoff. Combine that with the defensive reaction to the draw plays this year where defenders actually drop back as if it’s a pass play and you have a real formula for success when you call a draw versus a pass defense.
I can't believe no one has pointed this out yet. Does this mean DEs will pass rush correctly now? I would assume so, since it would be silly for them to just be correct on draws. This will need to be thoroughly tested to see if true. I'm getting pretty psyched to play the demo to see all these changes.
