Why the play-action pass is the best play in football

Play-action is, flat out, the best play in football on a per-attempt basis. On average, throwing the ball is also going to lead to more yards than running the ball. An average yards per attempt when throwing is at about 6.8 yards. Even rookie quarterback Davis Mills, playing for a talent-deficient Houston Texans team has a yards per attempt of 6.1. In case you were wondering, one of the best running backs this year in Nick Chubb is only averaging 5.8 yards per carry. So, even with Davis Mills at quarterback, it is still statistically beneficial to pass more than it is to hand it off to Nick Chubb.
Data also shows that quarterbacks average 1.39 yards per attempt on play-action than they do on regular dropback passes. That’s not to say running the ball isn’t important - it is in the physical sense of the game and I’ll touch on that later. But, play-action gives more bang for your buck than any other play in football.

It’s so interesting to see the stats and understand the whole perspective of balancing play action with the run game. Really helpful video!

I think an important element to this is also the look of the offense formation and personnel wise pre-snap in that it's similar to previously ran run plays, pairing a series of plays together to not tip their hand. I get the argument for more play action, but I look at games like the Rams/Patriots superbowl, the Titans/Ravens in last year's playoffs, this year's first Jets/Patriots matchup, and others and wonder if the defensive adjustments to heavy play action teams done in those games will be applied more in the future to continue this "trends coming and going" cycle that has and always will be in football.

This is how I became very good at Madden...all my pass plays were out of my run formations. It's a interesting chess match aspect to the game....I could be setting up a PA Go for 3 quarters and strike it.

Correction: the victory kneeldown is the best play

@WeeklySpiral 2 года назад

The play that wins games but steals those precious rush yards from QBs

@georgemcfly3482 2 года назад

It really helps if the run game is on point, the Safeties will have to come closer to the line of scrimmage

@nelsonw2096 2 года назад

There are also three things that can happen when a team runs the ball. Two of those are bad too. 😉

Please show us a misdirection run. Something like a reverse or a belly sweep

@corniliusmerritt8630 2 года назад

This may be a ridiculous question but, is the Yankee concept the same as the burner concept? Or are there some nuances that make them differ?

@WeeklySpiral 2 года назад

I'd say Burner is a little closer to the Sail concept than Yankee, especially if the back does check to flats and create those three levels on one side of the field. Where burner has a burst corner or pylon route with that inside stem before breaking out, Yankee's signature is attacking the middle of the field and replacing the middle field safety. If you're staying in Shanahan's playbook, I'd say Heat is closer to his version of Yankee

@@WeeklySpiral Thanks a ton! Fellow 9er fan so it's no wonder lol and thanks for all the great insight and content. Please keep it coming!

@connorking3523 2 года назад

Imma big Staley fan but the whole physicality concept just feels like a bunch of vague coach speak… is the idea that if you pass with optimal ratios that your team will forget how to run block bc they are no longer “physical” bc they don’t run block as often? Is there no physicality on any given pass play as well? I think situationally there are instances where you should run the ball but this interpretation of physicality just feels like unquantifiable nonsense.

@MrBlack-wt5er 2 года назад

Not so much in Madden, I get sacked every time running a play action and the defense never bites.

@MrBlack-wt5er Год назад

@@quinnschroetlin They use to work, at one time you would see a linebacker tackle the running back or you might even see defensive backs get beat taking steps forward to stop a run, not anymore ever...

@Embers_YT 2 года назад

Wow! Would you look at that... a complete waste of time! You really did not have to make this video.. but I guess more people watch football than think about it.
