defending the jet series

In 2002 we ran the Jet Sweep as our base offense. A defense that will hurt the entire Jet Series is a Split-6 (33 Tight) and take your two outside linebackers, and make sure they are outside shade of the halfbacks. Tell your outside backers to abuse the halfbacks and drive them into the ball carrier. That destroyed us when we ran it. As a defensive coach in the multiple-40, that is what I would use to stop the Jet.
