I think that if you key in on the offense, what our dominance boiled down to, was giving Lamar options, and him finding and executing the right option to deadly efficiency.
I said all year that I think the empty set was overrated, statistically Lamar dominated out of the empty, but it takes away crucial aspects that made our offense harder to stop. You can have an RPO from empty, but there’s no real play fake, there’s no read that you can victimize because you don’t want your qb running up the gut constantly if the edge keeps contain, you are leaning on Lamar to beat 9 defenders by himself if you go max block empty backfield, there’s nothing he can do, line up the same but give the man his options, those options are what made us deadly, it wasn’t simply Lamar’s legs, it wasn’t our blocking scheme, it wasn’t the passing or scrambling, it was the READS, give Lamar minimum 3 options on every single play, with the first 2 options being keep or handoff, Lamar is so good at making the right read that this one thing is the most unstoppable part of the offense. There is NO read other than find a gap in a 9 man front when you go empty set with 10 blockers.
