The transformation of football from a game of brute strength and collisions to one of speed and open seams isn't limited to the NFL. Four decades into a half-century career in coaching, Warren Wolf of Brick Township High School in central New Jersey, concluded that the most efficient play he could call was to immediately put the ball into the hands of his best athlete and provide him with ample room to wreak havoc on the defense. Whether that meant running or passing, the result was the same: The chaos created space, and the space allowed his team to move the ball up the field. "Nine times out of 10, the broken play is the best play in football if you've got a guy who can move," Mr. Wolf says.
