On know pass plays the d line usually swings around outside leaving the middle open for the draw. You just have to keep the defense honest.

It is easier to run against this formation, and a draw can catch the defense off guard. The defense is in the family way a pass and insert additional defensive backs into the game.

You run a draw to catch them off gaurd. Because the defense is going to be in the family way a pass and playing the recievers tight. You run a draw to catch them off gaurd.

Also, if they are in FG range, they might just take the 3 points rather than risk a turnover. it's a smart play sometimes, but I prefer a screen pass in those situations. being conservative. perhaps they have a crappy QB and don’t want to risk a turnover, especially if they are close to their own goal line, so they just run the safe draw and punt it.
