Blocking the jet sweep

Coaches
Wes Elrod is like a father to me and I have spent countless number of hours discussing and learning this offense from him. What he is doing in this offense is unbelievable and cutting edge. He will never take credit for it but I will give him the credit. I can tell you not running to a TE/WB can cause you a lot problems. Here is why?
1. Not running to a three man surface will allow the defense to use a HOT 2 as an option and now you have a matchup of DE on smaller WB.

2. They can use a hot 2 along with a suicide stunt by the CB with the safety playing over the top.

3. They can have a hot 2 with a jack and jill stunt behind it.

4. They can play 2 safety deep with hot 2 in front of it.

In other words, when you completely take away from running the jet to the TE you are taking away your best answer for hot 2 defensive responses. With a hot 2 defender I can play your jet with three guys and still have 8 for the remainder of the offense.

My wingbacks are in full speed motion like the slots is. If they are not then the QB is to blame. Because he is either snapping it at the wrong snap point or using the wrong footwork. Finally, we do not want him out running his blocks. We run jet to our backs who are aligned in the B gaps and we also run it with Jet loop and Tailspin motions. The speed thing is a myth and a paradigm that needs to be removed from you and your players. There must be enough of compliment plays to keep the defense from selling out. I am very pleased when I see a defense selling out on my motions. We teach our players this means BIG PLAYS ARE COMING!!!

Here is a little secret. You do not need all of those blocking schemes the coaches posted to get to run to the TE. All you have to do is go to a Northern R or Southern L formation. In addition, If the 1 is selling out on the play then you should be gouging them off tackle until he behaves. If you have Coach Elrod's stuff, you have everything you need to make the offense go no matter what the defense does. Just to give you idea on the amount of success we have:

We averaged 251 yds of rushing per game.

We amasses 2400yds rushing or the season. Here is the best part: We did without one 1000yd rusher. No gifted backs.

We had two games where we went over 400yds !! rushing. The problem was we defended everyone else's offense as well. HA HA HA!! If we did not run this offense we would not win a game in our league. We were able to posses a football for a very long time. In some occassions an entire quarter of football. That is one thing I do agree with you is being able to get by with poor linemen. You are right there. If you have questions about handling a suicide stunt or jack and jill. You can email me: KRogerson@hvc.rr.com I will not post that.
Hope this helps,
