Kelly: Dolphins’ run-pass-option offense aims to create confusion for defenses | Analysis

Miami Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle jets to his left before the snap, going in motion to cross the face of the quarterback.

A cornerback trails the speedy receiver, and a safety is now on alert in case Waddle gets a handoff, or goes deep once he reaches the other side of the field.

The ball is snapped and Tua Tagovailoa and Myles Gaskin converge. It may be a quarterback-to-tailback exchange.

That split second of indecision — the lack of clarity — likely freezes the opposition’s Will (weakside inside) linebacker. Will he shoot a gap at the line of scrimmage, where the offensive line is working to create a surge?
