Absolutely correct. Why I said only specifically talking about Goedert’s rookie in these specific YAC creation plays …not becoming TE2.

Show me any playbook that has YAC specialist plays in them

LMK who the matchup creation specialists are in the next draft. That s a position I have never heard of

Exactly. We have a TE Goedert, a WR Smith and a RB Shipley I’d sayin that order  will run them for us

Who is "Goederts rookie?"

I’m including reverses and screens in this grouping…even if they technically are runs

What is a YAC creation play? Don't you want that on all pass plays?

I think AJ might be #1 on those ... but I count those short slants and crosses in there too.  Any play where it's designed to get a one on one matchup on a short play where there is a lot of space to work with.  Even just a quick screen too.

I want every damn player I can find on my team who is a YAC specialist. They are play calls,there are zero plays called YAC plays- NONE. YAC is on the player not the play call

I know it’s a bit more out of the box thinking. That just because Goedert runs certain plays must mean the next man up would be TE2. But that’s just not the case in these specific play types for what’s needed. Frankly it’s unusual for a TE to be that guy in the first place. But Goedert’s been good at this role. It’s been even more highlighted by the fact we haven’t had anybody else that could fulfill the role. 
  Once again…not TE role…YAC creation role.

They’d be included in this group of plays for sure. Even though most of them are technically runs. All about hopefully clearing a path for what the player can do after the catch with just getting the ball in his hands.

Screens

You can design plays that allow more space, or blocking stunts, but that's on the players to execute there are no YAC play calls and no "specialists" If you have a twitchy guy you can call plays that play to that strength,but that's on the players not the call

If a QB sees a CB playing 12 yards off .... the Desai cushion ....   and he audibles to a quick pass at the line and the WR runs for yardage.... would that be a YAC creation play?   Or just.... " hey look at that idiot playing 12 yards off, here go get some yards since you won't be touched any time soon"?  But statistically speaking... that guy will get some gift YAC to pad his stats.  So will the QB.  Gift completion and gift yards.

Maybe we need GAC ... gift after catch?

Earlier this offseason I was mentioning a backup in this role for Goedert if that’s what you referring to

Smith is not a BU nor a blocker for Goedert(or Hurts) he is a slot WR

I was thinking more designed YAC plays where you have picks, blockers or clear outs to open up the run after catch potential.

Yeah,technically it would be YAC but that doesn't require a "specialist"  That's just free yardage

DeVonta was the guy we turned to without Goedert on these plays last season

He’s capable but not what we really want from him. He’s so great at route running and doing other more crucial tasks.

Right you can design plays to accentuate things but it's on the player,there are no YAC plays called

Alright so No Mas identifies with these plays with the screen pass. So let’s say we have two WR at the line of scrimmage and one guy behind them to catch and run with the screen pass. Could that guy catching that be TE Goedert, WR Smith or RB Shipley? Does it matter what positional label is tagged to the YAC creation specialist?
