If you recall in the second quarter last weekend, the New Orleans Saints ran a fake punt and gave Taysom Hill the ball up the middle for a first down.
Saints Convert a Fake Punt Deep in Their Own Territory https://t.co/m5GTRQrv4W

The only reason they ran that play from their own 30-yard-line was because they noticed that Eagles DT Fletcher Cox took plays off, especially on punts.
Never take plays off.

On one of the biggest plays of the game, the Saints WANTED to run a fake punt into the Eagles *regular defense* because they knew Fletcher Cox was going to play passively from film study. They ran right at him & converted the 1st down. pic.twitter.com/DhlWD8Yt9Q

This is the kind of film study that pays off.
