Run Plays - Hole Direction?

[coachcbjii]

So I’m looking at the plays.xml.
And I’m looking at the commands for running plays.
If you tell the RB to “dive” how does he know whether to dive left or right?
Which gap is he hitting? A gap between the C-G or B gap between G-T

I see on “sweep” command left or right is included? But again which gap is he hitting?

Does it depend on linemen blocking?
I see one dive play where all linemen “run block center”
And another where the Center and the right side “run block center” and the left side has “run block left”
Does that mean the RB knows that gap where left block and center block are? (Does that make sense)
So on the dive play where the entire line run blocks center does that back just run straight up the middle?

If so, is that the same on the sweep play where almost the entire line is blocking left? How would the RB know where to go in that case?

Sorry for all the questions. I just want to know what I’m doing when I create run plays.

I'd have to look at specifics... is there not a Dive Left and Dive Right?

I figured out most of the hole direction looking at the play diagrams. But from what I see in the plays.xml there is NOT a left and right command for dives and draws. AKH said they run straight head and look for an opening on those two plays. Left or right I guess is more determined by the blocking scheme on those plays.

I did double check it... we have Dive/Dive Left/Dive Right but they all pretty much go straight ahead and then the ball carrier will adjust based off of the defense whether they go to the left or right gap.
