It's exactly the same as the Shotgun Wing TE setup that Florida, Mississippi State, and someone else use where the TE that's lined up like that goes in motion for the two plays that they have for that (some shitty run and a PA pass that's asking to get killed). It's basically the exact same setup (TE leaks back across the formation and the WR on the weak side runs the crossing route with the WR on the strong side runs a comeback route or something).

But, it is technically a new play because that formation (Shotgun Twin TE) hasn't had that type of play action setup yet with the TE in motion.

My issue with it all is this: Give me more than two freakin' plays that look like that. No team is only going to run two plays that have that type of motion. Incorporate it into a BUNCH of the plays from that formation: HB Pitch to the strong side, HB counter to the strong side (so that the TE can motion and come back across and block with the LG pulling out for the block as well), some type of passing play to take advantage of that TE being against a LB in the flats without there being any PA, HB Pitch to the weak side with the motioned TE "lead" blocking, etc. Just give me more than TWO plays from that look. PLEASE!
