This play could actually work from our flex alignment as it's alternatively the same diamond formation minus the shotgun.

Put our BB in motion like they did their fullback

Have Ponchez Mason/Howard play R-AB, and ultimately the lead blocker.

Kirvonte at BB, and potential downfield pitch option if QB gets cut off.

If we cut at the LOS instead of run blocking all the way (eliminate OL downfield), we could create conflict on the edge with a Slot/Wide (which would be the BB) smash combo to the left side. Slot guy would need to "rub" the nickel to slow his path to the QB. Give the QB a keep/pass option to the flats or a deep pass after the BB clears out the flat for the slot man. Works well with our "tight" formations.
