Breakdown

Jet Pass Fk Zone is a jet sweep fake out of Pistol Doubles Y Off that turns into an outside pass action. The diagram shows the jet motion man taking the fake handoff read while the outside receiver runs a quick out or flat route toward the sideline, with the line holding pass protection up front. This is a play-action boot style concept designed to freeze linebackers and safeties who bite on the jet motion fake, opening up the flat and edge for an easy completion. The primary read is the receiver breaking outside on the arrow route, with the quarterback rolling or looking to that side immediately off the fake.

Defensive Reads

Watch the flow of linebackers at the snap, if they crash hard toward the jet motion man this play is wide open in the flat and edge. Cover 3 and Cover 4 shells with aggressive flat defenders reading run tend to give up easy yardage since the corner has to respect run support first. Man coverage teams that send a defender to trail the jet motion man leave the underneath flat vulnerable, so look for that chase defender post-snap. Disciplined defenses that stay home in zone drops and do not bite on the fake will have a defender sitting on the flat route, forcing a checkdown or throwaway. Watch for a user controlled linebacker sitting in a hook zone or spying the boot lane, since a smart user defender can jump the flat route if he reads the play-action quickly.

Usage Tips

Use pre-snap motion to identify if the defense shifts a linebacker or defensive back to follow the jet man, which confirms man coverage or a spy assignment.

Call this on early downs or short yardage situations where defenses expect the run, since the jet fake sells hardest against run heavy fronts.

If the defense shows an aggressive edge blitz or overplays the run fake, hot route the flat receiver to sit down quicker or convert to a quick out to beat the blitz timing.

Pair this play with Zone Fake Jet or HB Zone earlier in a drive so defenders start keying the jet motion as a run threat, making this pass fake far more effective later.

Against zone shells, throw with anticipation right off the fake since the flat defender will be reading run flow before recovering to the route.
