3: Full speed jet motion, take handoff, get outside.
4: Step play-side, work to seal defensive end- race to gain and maintain leverage.
Coach Points
- This needs to be the first play that you install.
- Jet motion timing does vary based on player age, size, and speed. The timing has to be worked out at practice.
- All fakes must be carrier out.
- The pulling (RG) must be able to pull and lead block- look to tunnel the CB. If he cannot get out there have the (2) cheat over and have him lead.
Belly
Center: Base the nose guard. If faced with double A-gap defenders, center must back the backside A-gap defender.
Right Guard: V-step, pull and kick-out defensive end. The guard must pull right off of the butt of the (TE) and (RT). HE CANNOT PULL FLAT.
Right Tackle: Gap-down-backer.
Left Guard: Inside-over-free.
Left Tackle: Inside-over-free.
Tight-out: Gap-down-backer.
Split-end: Work to block middle safety.
1: Catch snap, hand to the (2), carryout fake.
2: Take handoff, get downhill inside of the guards kick-out block.
3: Full speed motion, fake Jet Sweep.
4: Insert for outside linebacker. He can cheat his split in and up if he has too.
Coaching Points
- Aiming point for the right guard is the inside hip of the defensive end. It is important that he v-steps and kicks-out. He cannot pull flat.
- Good Jet Sweep fake is needed by the (3). That will force the defense to stretch horizontally.
- If you center cannot handle the N, you can have the right tackle help and block down on the N.

3: Fake Jet Sweep- continue out on his speed out. He cannot go or lean forward until the ball is snapped.
4: Seal the edge- block for the QB.
Coaching Points
- Run this play on 2, which will through the defense off because Jet and Belly are both executed on 1.
- Motion player cannot go forward until the ball is snapped- should be square to the sidelines.
- QB’s read is the CB. If the CB sits on the speed out or bites up on play-action, the QB hits the (TE) on the corner route. If the (CB) bails back and covers the (TE), the QB hits the (3) on the speed out.
- All fakes must be carried out!
