How much time is left? If it's under two minutes and you need to march down the field in a hurry, I say you likely take your chances with Young matched up 1-on-1 with whoever the DE and have the RB delay leaving pocket for a check down just in case Young absolutely whiffs. The RB blocks if need be, but can leave the pocket if Young holds his block. You're also banking on Bortles's mobility to move around the pocket where he can escape someone who has been partially blocked.

 

They're likely playing two deep safeties and LBs a bit off the line of scrimmage if this is under two minutes, so I'd place a TE (Harbor) and you're best WR (I still say Robinson) inside on the 4 WR set and have them work the seam hoping they can split safeties/LBs for 1-on-1 coverage. Perhaps one shallow post (Harbor) and another running an out route (Robinson). Whatever side has the out route will also have the outside WR (Greene) running a deep post towards the safety hoping to pull him towards this WR. This could leave some open field along the sideline if you can time the pass perfectly to the WR running the out. The other outside WR (Hurns) runs a go route just in case the other safety sinks in to defend the shallow post leaving CB defending the go route on an island. If he drops back deep to defend the go route, you can to hit the shallow post down the seam just past the LBs assuming the didn't drop too far.

 

Obviously this isn't taking into account anything other than a simple dime package, but I think this is what I would go with.

1.  Yes it is.  Thanks for your input.

 

2.  For the purposes of this hypothetical, let's assume that we stopped Carolina on that long drive in the 4th quarter, and there is anywhere between 5-6 minutes remaining.    After about a 45 yard punt, we start the ball around our own 20.  We have two timeouts remaining.

 

3.  Keep in mind, earlier in the half, we used Yeldon as a receiver, and the pass wound up being the pick 6 for the TD that lost you the lead.  It's safe to assume that they have adjusted to Yeldon in the flat.

 

4.  Interesting route combinations, but again, the receivers have not been dependable in gaining consistent separation all game, nor have they been consistent catching the football.
