This is a good, quick pass play for short-yardage situations. Three receivers go out, but it's the flanker who's the target.
Things You'll Need
Footballs
Instructions
1
Set the offense in a split-back formation. Place seven players on the line. Position from the quarterback's left: split end, a space of 5 yards, tackle, guard, center, guard, tackle, tight end. Two running backs stand ready a yard behind the quarterback , one slightly to either side. Finally, a flanker is set 5 yards to the right of the tight end and 1 yard off the line of scrimmage.
2
Hike the ball.
3
Instruct the tackles, guards and center to block straight on, keeping their mirrors engaged and repelled.
4
Instruct both running backs to step forward to help protect the quarterback.
5
Have the split end either sprint straight out past the left corner or cut 45 degrees right and possibly draw chase from the corner or left linebacker.
6
Send the tight end racing 3 yards past the line of scrimmage, then cutting to the outside.
7
Send the flanker angling 45 degrees inside.
8
Have the quarterback take the hike, step backward once, then fire at the flanker.
