1.  Run through A- or B-gap.
2.  Play action.
3.  Bubble screen.
4.  Slant.

That's basically it. The other plays are not possible.

With better run and pass blocking the entire playbook is open.  Yesterday we saw jet sweeps, a Lombardi sweep with Jonah Williams pulling, some delayed handoffs, dig routes, wheel routes, deeper slants, and even some deep shots thrown downfield.  Joe Mixon ran for 158 yards and the difference was proper directional blocking.

Yeah, it's been damn near impossible to get much of anything going over the last two or three years due to piss poor line play....this year has been especially bad. Hard to blame skill players or coaches when the line is getting their lunch handed to them.
