Plays like:
FL Hitch (I)
Quick Hooks (Strong I)
Weak I WR Drag (Weak I)
Z Spot (Single Back)
Curls (Pro Set)
All have at least 1 "Dead" HB/FB who is designated to block. Some even have 2. This allows defenses to double or in some cases triple team(FL Hitch, rush 3 drop 8) every available receiver.
The problem is within the play design(These are almost all 1st or 2nd generation plays). These plays were designed BEFORE the "Cover Man" option allowed for multiple check downs.
Since the OC can designate who stays in and blocks, there is no reason why these players can not have a secondary route, that can be overridden either explicitly, or via holding in players in response to a blitz.
My suggestion is that GLB take every play where the HB/FB does not have a route, and re-design the play so they do have one.
I think if you run your season end DB querry on what plays were used the most and what plays were not(Casual teams are exempt), you will find that these plays are weighted towards the bottom of the list.
