They don't like bringing CeeDee Lamb from a three by one. He's the number 2 receiver and all of a sudden we motion him to the left and now we're in 2 by 2. Well we just moved the nickel. We just changed where the safety was.

Lamb's motion creates coverage shifts that complicate shotgun pass offense execution.

Greg Olsen explains that motioning CeeDee Lamb from a three-by-one formation to the left creates coverage complications for the Cowboys offense; moving the number 2 receiver shifts the nickel and safety positions, forcing the offensive line to adjust pass set rules from a three-by-one to a two-by-two look. This illustrates why coordinators in shotgun spread formations may avoid motion, as it changes defensive strengths and complicates quarterback and coordinator decision-making in pass-heavy situations.
