When you have the ball inside your opponent's 5 yardline there's no reason to try to get tricky. There are a number of runs that work extremely well out of the Goalline formation, so anything less than 6 points has to be a disappointment. In this article, SportsGamer's going to break down how to utilize some of the best scoring options from the Goalline formation when you get in close. Check it out below!

The first running option near the goalline that we're going to look at is the Strong Toss to the running back. The best time to utilize the Strong Toss is whenever your opponent's cornerback's slide in towards the middle of the field. The reason we like to use this play when the cornerbacks slide in is because now our tight end will typically run to block him after the snap, sealing everything off so we can get to the outside for the score. |

We snap the ball and Jacksonville Jaguars' quarterback David Garrard flips the ball back to running back Fred Taylor. Meanwhile, our tight end does exactly what we wanted him to do as he runs to block the cornerback on the outside. |

| The cornerback is flattened and now we can just follow the fullback to the endzone. |
 |
| Fullback Greg Jones does a great job of locking up the only other threat on this play as we head for paydirt. |
 |
| Reading the defense and making the correct play call put us in perfect position to be successful on this play. |
