I’m not a ball-knower, but someone asked yesterday asked what the purpose of putting the RB in motion pre-snap was. Isn’t it the same as why WRs go in motion? To help the QB ID the defensive scheme? (ie. If a defender follows the player in motion or not?)*

- Another reason is to give the defense more to think about at snap of ball. * - By jhamm September 13, 2026 at 10:37:27 AM
