Definitely.   Washington does a pretty good job pulling.

i’m still trying to figure out  the two plays I see where he pulls And why we run them differently.

One Washington just pulls (Petry blocks end) and we hope the vacated edge rusher (olb) can’t get to our RB fast enough.  It rarely works if olb is on or close to line of scrimmage.

The other, we bring one of the three TEs back around to kick out the edge rusher vacated by Washington.   I have seen us use all three TE successfully at various times.

but what I’m trying to figure out is why when there is a fifth man on the line of scrimmage, sometimes we do not send the tight end over and often times laquint has been caught in the backfield by an unblocked end or edge rusher from behind.

at the 48 second mark of the third quarter I was yelling at my TV for just this. 
we need to audible out of that play, or to the play where the TE pulls too, when there’s an unblocked rusher that close to the line of scrimmage.
