What decision, over time, do you guys think pays off more than the other?
It's 2nd and 7. QB gets to the line with plenty of time. The defense shows a look that could be one of a couple things depending on how they have it disguised. If they do one thing, his first option is the X receiver. If they do another thing after the snap, his last option would be the X receiver, so it would completely change.
However, Finley is in the slot and no matter what defense they are running, Finley at worst is going to have tight single coverage on a matchup you like. According to the rules of the offense, Finley wouldn't be the first look in either case.
What do you do? Do you take your best guess at what defense they're running and go through the natural progression in that scenario? If you're wrong, you probably end up holding it, going through other progressions and several types of breakdowns could happen. Do you decide to go with what you know and throw a ball into Finley, who you know is a superstar and has a great chance of making the catch on single coverage even if it's tight?
