Billick Chalktalk 101 -- My favorite play on goal line

How can you throw the fade if the linemen are blocking downfield?

@jtfehr28 it becomes an audible to playaction

@benjamintpoon You weren't paying attention...the quarterback says nothing. The quarterback pats his side if he's not going to run it so the RB knows, but the lineman still run block.

@jtfehr28 They can still throw the ball because it's a quick goalline play. The lineman might be run blocking but with the zone setup he has going for the play it will provide enough protection to hit Heap quick. Having a TE vs. a nickle or corner works with the quick pass because of Heap's size as a TE, he just needs to put himself between the defender and the ball, which he's very good at. If the LB plays a little deeper defending the pass then he runs it. It's all up to the QB's read
