How one motion play swept through the NFL in 2023: ‘Everybody is copying it'

The Los Angeles Chargers created a new short out motion(when the receiver runs inside towards the offensive linemen.) This motion quickly circulated across the NFL. McDaniel, Shanahan and McVay had to fight for credit of this new concept while continuing to become a league wide trend.

Sports jargon listed: 

-Short out motion 

-pre-snap motion 

-"rub"

-backfield

-wide

Adjectives used: 

-Fast

-Hard

-Difficult

(cant find anymore)

I think this article can be categorized as news update because it informs us about a recent "run" trend that has been becoming increasingly popular. This is considered newsworthy as the creators of this concept fight over credit.

Example of Names of players involved:

"Head coach Mike McDaniel called a short out motion to set up a 28-yard catch for receiver Tyreek Hill."

"Hill’s speed brought Miami’s version of “cheat” to life. He could run any type of route out of it, including the in-breakers that capitalized on recently vacated space in the middle of the field."

"Quarterback Patrick Mahomes sees he has one less defender to tie up his receivers if he decides to pass because that defender shows he will play the run during the pre-snap motion."

"Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s average time to throw last season was league-fastest at 2.36 seconds, according to Next Gen Stats, yet Miami’s offense ranked second in pass yards per attempt (8.3)."
