Power Jet Sweep

This is an unbalanced formation and if you sit in your base with no adjustments you are outnumbered. In our standard 4-4 playing 3 deep when they motion the Wing over for the Jet Sweep the Outside Backer will sprint with him and turn up at the snap and tackle him. Play over. FS will adjust with motion also and Outside Backer to the strong side will set the edge.

You have it drawn with the TE to the strong side(ineligble by alignment) and the T to the weakside.(ineligible by #) Most offenses will bring the T over to the strong side and put the TE to the weakside.

We saw a version of this formation from a number of our opponents this past season and it also gave us trouble. We playded solid defense all year with the exception of the sectional championship when we saw this formation along with 1 Back Double Wing 2x2. They motioned the wings ran midline, outside veer and belly g, along with a wide toss to the wing motion man. We took away the FB and were OK on the pitch, thought we had the QB covered also but did not get this done. They were getting the wing or tackle down our inisde backer even though we had bumped him with the motion. Maybe we should have attacked him right away on the QB. Also, got burned on a couple of play action passes out of this formation to the weakside receivers. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

On jet motion, blitz your CB off the edge and have safety pick up the X. Do this 30-50% of the time (or they will throw short to the X). You will throw them for a loss 2 or 3 times and they should give up on the play.
