3& 5-7 inside their ten yd line.

Not to be evasive - but I think this would vary greatly aCCORDING TO WHAT you run on offense, & what THEY run on defense.

Since MOST people WE play are in MAN down their - meshes & other "picks" are good!

RENO,

Your question really underscores the NECESSITY for a COMPLETE goal line package, not just a single play or two. First off, When I'm down there the first time I'm not even thinking pass, I'm thinking POWER RUNNING. If they show us they can stop us with my POWER TEAM on the field, then I am forced to start thinking alternatives. But, to be honest we are not usually stoppped. I break what your calling the red zone down into three zones, not one. Red= 20 to 15 Yellow= 15-5 Green 5 and in.

Ram it at 'em, then go play action! Favorite 3 step= 30 dive Y Pop! (fake the FB, hit TE)
Favorite 5 step= Triple option pass ( fake dive back, three quick steps to behind playside OT, hit dragging TE, or two verticals by WR's, or check down to FB who has faked dive and squatted in front of FS) or swing to RB. The time of execution is as long as normal 5 step drop, but actually after parallel steps to OT, we then only take 3 drop steps. Just my way.

No 7 step drops down close for us.

Throw sharp breaking routes INTO THE END ZONE!!!!!!!

Conventional wisdom in the NFL is on 3rd & 7 (INSIDE the 10) - throw the ball IN THE END ZONE!
