It gives the opposing DC's more formations and "possibilities" to have to contend with, like the swinging gate on PAT instead of the conventional PAT set. Not only do they have to take time to line up against it, prepare for the plays seen, they also have to guess as to what MIGHT come from those sets. Added time here means less time on our more conventional sets and offense. Then throw in the fact that Locksley and company have a few wrinkles in with our regular sets, equals ANOTHER headache for the DC.

Does it really though? I don't remember all the plays, but aren't we basically just putting a different guy out there and running the play? I doubt defensive coordinators are spending a ton of time how to stop Jalen Hurts as a slot receiver or on a toss sweep. I get that he could take a handoff then pass, but that's a "standard" trick play that every team prepares for - don't leave your man until the runner crosses the LOS.
I think our normal offense is a well-oiled machine. I'm fine with Jalen wrinkles, but I really don't think they add much except making the fans and Jalen happy.
