Basically from what I see here is you have no options on Y sail if they run hard flats. The only time he ran against hard flats, the only guy open was an incomplete and if he caught it, it was a 1 yard gain. Should just say it only works against cover 3 not hard flats. Formation looks like a waste of time.
