Exactly. It enables the rb to get his eyes on the line quickly. Its just people regurgitating shite they read on here.

You haven't played football at a high level have you? It actually does quite the opposite. It's takes your eyes off the line because you have to look to catch the ball then look up field, and it fools nobody, while on the contrary, a direct handoff allows the runner to keep his eyes upfield and makes you rely on the QB to put it in your gut. It also allows a plays action to come in handy.

It actually forces the RB to take his eyes off of the line and look at the ball to catch it you idiot.

That works both ways sweetheart. That means the LBs can gets eyes on the ball carrier quicker too. Play relies on the old Les Miles standard, "my guys are bigger than your guys." Until, of course, theyre not. Then you get your toss-dove shite caved in.

how can you say that when 90% of the runs out of that play ended up with the RB running into the back of the OL.

It actually does just the opposite. RB has a lack of options as far as cutting. Catching the ball with that much momentum is a fossil play from Miles 1970 playbook.
