This is the series that really has me puzzled
Play 1 we go 2 wide, they play 9 in the box.  The oline slants right, the RT traps back, the fullback comes under the QB. They leave the left and right DE/LB unblocked.

now a few frames later. you can see the head of the TE at the top.  the line is slanting right. the TE blocked down to the left.  the blocking scheme makes no sense, if he slants right and holds his spot the Left DE/LB never gets back into the backfield.   In addition the pulling tackle does not hit the LB attacking from the right and the FB has not hit anyone yet.

the play ends.. ED if he bootlegs probably scores but thats another discussion. The RT is too late adjusting to the R LB and the trailing LB gets home too.  Had the TE made his block to hold that edge the blocking by the pulling RT probably isnt too late Strickland at worst gets 1-1 with the MLB at the 3 but has the whole field to also angle away from him.  if the RT hits the OLB in any case he also gives Strickland room to go away from the trailing LB even if does get around the end

the play call is fine,  9 in the box you get what you can on first down The oline held up fine just the pursuit on the outside got home
