He also talks about the effectiveness of the GH counter bluff reverse play and the resurgence of dropback passing from under center. Additionally, he mentions the importance of quarterbacks diving instead of sliding for better protection and yardage. He concludes by discussing the success of the Sark screen, a throwback screen play with unique motion and boot action, and the evolution of RPOs with multiple level reads.
