Implementing the Jet series into the Flexbone

The jet is great as long as you have a passing game to complement it, and it is deadly if you have a backside guard that is a stud. My only concern out of the flexbone would be the fact that there is that wing in the way. The most successful jet sweep teams that I've seen run with a TE on the line (then can run either strong or weak from there. A team that runs the jet well is very tough to defend, especially when they have a QB that can make a difference throwing the ball. Willammette University in Oregon runs the jet series about as well as it can be run. Coach Speckman is a heck of a guy and has a jet camp every summer, but I don't know that there's a ton online on his stuff. I'd say if you have the line and someone who can put the fear of God into the perimeter of a defense, it could be a good package to add.

Why does the backside guard help (more than other linemen) for jet?
