It's worth a shot maybe once, but there's no way we could have consistent success with that play.

As I said, I don't think it should be the bread and butter, but
if our running game continues to improve, the likelihood of defenses losing contain increases. We've run enough of draws this year that it will be tough for the defense not to bite.
Another play that exploits poor discipline by the DE is the fake to Sellers with the quick weakside pitch to Portis on the edge. This worked well against Dallas last year. We've given it to Big Mike so much in the 2nd and 5 area that any defense that looks at film will be looking for the FB dive.
