Just look at Matthews as an outlet option on the top of the screen. He might still be running...

? Matthews? DuVernay, like you said is definitely open. They ran this concept a few times last year and the motion player usually gets open.
This is a concept im surprised they don’t call more often....
There a bunch of concepts that Roman sprinkles in that could/should play a bigger role in my eyes

Sure, aside from the unblocked guy 8 yards downfield.

He's so damn fast

Great play design from Roman that set up some favorable blocking match-ups and lol, Ricard and Boyle absolutely maul their guys, and Mekari gets a nice block too

Ingram gets the easiet TD run of his career

okay, i cant remember if i actually shared this thought with the board or kept it to myself, so sorry if it's a repeat...
i was wondering what football might look like in 10 or 20 years, kind of along the lines of a major shift, the way forward passes must've looked to guys playing in the '50s. there's really only one thing i could think of that wasn't just a gimmick or wrinkle, but actually a whole world of untapped possibilities...the lateral! we saw it here on defense for a number of years with #20, and it was sometimes very nerve-wracking since these were not offensive players and this was not a skill they developed to the extent of other skills (although apparently they did it some at practice).

anyway, i had this thought last year and i completely forgot about it until week 1 when LJ lateralled to Ingram, but if ever there was a team to pioneer the offensive lateral it's this one. they have the best rushing QB, heavy downfield blocking from WR/TE/RB. i wouldnt want anyone but Lamar throwing the lateral, but i really think if they actually put in enough time practicing it it could be devastatingly effective and not nearly as nerve-wracking as when a D tries it.

anyway, this seemed like the place to drop this crazy idea. even if the ravens only ran a couple a game it would be enough to either force a team to gameplan for it, or punish a team with an extra 10-20yds each time, with the occasional long TD. and maybe 20 years from now it'll be commonplace for a team to run 10 planned lateral plays a game.

The 'lateral' that they did in Week 1 is a component of the speed/pitch-option play they called.
The QB and the RB maintain their pitch relationship all the way down the field.
But its not new, its option football.
