No. It’s better not to run it like fucking morons. Loading one side and then predictably running a stretch on first down basically every series. We haven’t been a stretch zone team since 2014. Use the TEs the right way, block the edge, bring one out of the backfield, pull, use the Greg Roman ingenuity and take that penetration their front was giving us and use it against them, be less predictable, mix up the down and distance calls, dial up more screens to counter the blitz.
The problem wasn’t trying to run it, the problem was the predictability
