So QB's can't run draws,.... but I've noticed they sure can scramble.
It's an all out blitz.... and only 1 guy actually gets a tackle opportunity (a
CB) after two guys get through unblocked.
Third down, 14 yards to go, ball is at Buffalo 20, 9:01 remaining.
Offense: 231 Split backs, no TE, WR strong, TB screen
Defense: 243 Tight 5-3, 0-zone coverage, pass stunt
Capers (OLB), Cipriani (ILB) blitzing
Cipriani (ILB) unblocked.
Capers (OLB) unblocked.
Jordan forced to scramble by Cipriani (ILB).
Jordan runs past Brantley (CB ).
Touchdown!

7 man rush, the other 4 all shallow...it seems plausible that if the QB was as
fast as the 3 guys not rushing that he could run to the outside (at a CB) and
the other 3, also playing in the box, might not get a shot at him.
There are a frustration here, though: I hate how frequently an unblocked
blitzing defender doesn't get a sack (it's worse yet when the QB ends up only
under "medium pressure"), although I think a scramble is a would-be sack that
based on the stats of the QB and the would be sacker (and luck) he manages to
get away from.
I also think that on a screen the QB should basically always get the pass off,
as a screen is designed knowing there'll be pressure from the blockers peeling
off, which is why there's the dump-off back very quickly available to catch the
ball. The only exception would be an unblocked guy as on this play, but those
aren't the only in-game exceptions.

Good point.. the screen pass would have been an awesome play here.
In fact, it's the perfect call against a balls out blitz. That wasn't Michael
Vick back there.
I'll concede the TD, because the screen should have burned me on that blitz.
