On quarterback designed run plays and other such plays, the plan might vary.

“We’ve run this system for about 10 or 11 years, and we just adjust it based on quarterback play, whether we tag quarterback runs on it, but our passing game pretty much stays the same as it has been for the past 10 years,” Gundy said.
