Tried to set up a lateral, but…

[Coach Shawn]

Due to the recent conversation on laterals I decided to try to set up a lateral play.

I setup the two RBs already angled to the outside and then after the defense was set I pivoted the TE to block the OLB and the WR to block the CB.

the plan was for the HB to run until he was forced to lateral to avoid being tackled.  Unfortunately Army’s Safety missed his gap which allowed the HB to keep the ball instead of doing the lateral.

nice run though. (As an Army veteran I am chagrined that it appears my navy team may be better than my army team).

Exactly as Navy's #26 has been coached his whole career. It's uncanny. Like you pointed out in another post, sometimes the plastic men react in a very lifelike manner. It's spooky how realistic the game can become.
