This is a nice play to mix in with the others from the mini scheme.  This setup gets 2 players off the same side.  This can be an effective strategy if your opponent is blocking a running back every time on the left side of the field.

This play is very effective because of the way it is set up.  The players on the play all move where you want them to except for the MLB.  This is done by showing blitz.
