Direct snap jet

THEPREZ98,

As a single wing QB in the late 50's, the ball was directly snapped to the FB 99% of the time. He most often would come through the line and give the ball back to the me and I would then run the spinner series, or pitch or pass. But, when the FB or TB was going to run the perimeter (sweep,etc.) on the snap count, they would break to the call side and take the snap on the move. It was very effective! So, in my opinion your idea is very viable. It does require a lot of reps with the center and the backs but it is not all that difficult to master. Give it a shot and see how it goes for you. It may work for you in a crtical ball game some night when you catch the defense flat footed with it!

We ran the jet out of shotgun today. Since we already ran the jet, and we already run the shotgun, it wasn't a big deal to install. Worked out nicely too.

I mentioned the direct snap, but it might take a while to get that one going!

The head coach had to leave practice early for a "back to school" night for the new students...since I've been helping with the QBs and RBs, and basically shoulder-surfing during play calling, I was able to call plays during team offense yesterday. For the first time, ever! Of course, it was only practice, but let me tell you, for those of you who enjoy the feeling of calling plays, it was...AWESOME. ;-)

Offensive coordinator wannabe... ;-)

In a JV game just last night, our opponent ran a direct snap jet sweep. Of course, I don't think they meant to do it, I just think the timing was off! Anyway, it worked well against us as did most of what they ran. Aghhh!!
