-9 goes behind 13 and hits an at pace 11 who has 15 and 14 for support on the outside

-10 has to make the choice based on what he see's in the defense to make the pass to 12 or offload back to 9
-similarly 9 will then have the option to hit the 13, keep it himself, or send it wide to 11
-11 needs to start his sprint as soon as the play starts in order to make it across the field in time as well as hitting the line with extreme pace
