I keep struggling when I try to gain +10 yards by run. In solo, I tend to spend too many downs and time for gaining rushing yards. I can renew 1st down by a few rushing attempts, but am really interested in any tips to gain +10 yards by a single run play. Especially, better plays and ball carrier’s techniques.
I’m running this 49ers TT. Player suggestion is also welcome.

Draw, iso, trap, outside zone, those are all good plays that will let you get tons of yards if you play them right
with lance id assume you have escape artist. call any play out of gun (preferably one with all receivers on one side. Set every route to go to one side of the field and then run to the opposite side. Any questions lmk
Trey Y Flex...come out in Verticals...if there is two or more defenders in the middle...stay in verticals, drop back, wait half a second and take off with your QB around left or right end...if there is one or less defenders in the middle...zone run (should be a default audible). Unless you have a slow QB the QB run will get you 10+, if they leave the middle open the inside zone will get you a big chunk as well.
There are some running plays that are tough to get going, but a lot of plays work if they’re against the right D. Conversely even the most reliable plays will get blown up against the wrong D. You just never know which run is going to go for a big gain.
But the key to reliably getting good yardage is having the patience to let the blocking set up. I rarely use the speed button until I hit the third level. On plays like draws and counters, I even will stop the RB momentarily when I first get the ball. That being said, some players are able to blow up your offensive line so quickly that those types of runs do not work.
If you’re trying to score 10 yard runs in the House Rules event, I would focus on RPO Read plays, Traps, Outside Zone, Power out of shotgun with 11 and 10 personnel and QB runs. Then again I personally don’t try to score with long runs in that event. It happens occasionally, but it happens because I run so many types of plays successfully that players get frustrated and make mistakes. I can’t just tee up certain runs and exert my will on the other guy.
