Ben Johnson responds to question about the "George McCaskey" play-call in Week 7
"That was a short yardage play that week," Johnson told reporters on Friday. "That ended up being Roschon (Johnson)'s carry. I think it ended up being a pretty good one for us. It was a BOSS play, so it's a BOSS scheme on our wide zone. I felt like that was probably appropriately named."
The play was called on 3rd-and-2 with running back Roschon Johnson in the game. A BOSS scheme refers to the blocking assignments in which you run to the opponent's strength on the perimeter. Essentially, the Bears wanted to run a wide zone, suck up the safety, and block him using the fullback (in this case TE Durham Smythe). It proved to be effectful with Johnson rushing for 11-yards.
