What's a coach to do?

[birdman]

Ok book warms the coach needs some help in making a call. Let stick with the contenders and throw away the pretenders. Here we go. It's first and goal on the six going in. Bg down (NO KIDDING) by four nine seconds left in the game. Ball on left hash mark, trips right to the wide side of the field, double tight end, slot right out of shot gun. What play should be called, no time outs. Remember first and goal?

I know, I know- if the clock is running the play call is the QB runs the ball because with nine seconds left and no timeouts you're screwed if you haven't called a play yet. If the clock is stopped run the fumblerooski.

What's the defensive alignment? Nickel, dime ?Are they covering the slot with a DB or lb?

Sounds like you're going to pass. As Woody used to say, "Only three things can happen if you pass and two of them ain't good."

If there are nine seconds left I think I would spike the ball this would give me a chance to regroup and have two pass plays into the end zone why rush it.

Flipper: The D a gap wide tackle six linebacker stacked over the guards slot is covered by the weak side safety everyone else is man to man. Who's your go to guy

[birdman]

We call the only play our coaching staff seems to know - throw to #19 on a slant

Why are we running two TE wit an empty backfield?

Why are we running two TE wit an empty backfield?

The formation does NOT make sense, but OK, no time to substitute.

Half roll right, with the protection slid that way...QB checks to that. Backside (left) TE "influences" pass blocking, hopefully DE bites and rushes. (Trips right, so DE would be on backside TE, OLB slid toward field and formation). QB throws back to left corner into the waiting arms of backside TE.

Change the formation a bit but keep the same basic play idea and we scored on that play against Pitt from about 15 yards out. Sheehan pass to a wide open Scheidler. IIRC, the tailback influenced the pass blocking in one direction, the receivers all went in that direction, then Scheidler, the TE, slipped out the opposite direction and was wide open for a TD. I think we executed a very similar play against Miami that year from a bit closer to the goal, but I don't think as close as the 6 as suggested in this scenario.
