Goal Line Gold is a 5v5 flag football play designed for use around the goal line or short yardage situations. The idea is that most everyone will play zone against a bunch and especially around the goal line, and regardless of which zone they play, this play flooding the left side will be extremely difficult to defend.
Play Execution
General execution should be that [1] shoots to the front cone drawing the corner with him, while [2] pushes the linebacker 2 yards into the endzone. The center cuts behind [2] while [3] drags the back line. The quarterback takes the snap under center, hesitating before rolling left and either making a quick pitch to the center coming open along the goal line, or if the linebacker jumps up, [3] should be wide open along the back line.
Adjustments
I would aim to run this play opposite of whichever side the rusher is attacking from, so be prepared to flip the play if you can tell which side that is. If the defense does cover the play correctly and the quarterback doesn’t have a quick read, have [2] be prepared to spring right where he has the entire side to get away from the linebacker who covered him up.
Love it!
