Breakdown

Jet QB Sweep is a designed quarterback run out of Shotgun Doubles Offset Wk, built around jet motion action across the backfield to sell perimeter misdirection before the QB pulls the ball and attacks the edge. The offensive line steps in a lateral zone scheme to the sweep side while the fullback or tight end works to kick out the edge defender, and the jet motion man serves as a lead blocker or safety valve pitch option depending on the read. This is a run play, not a pass concept, so there is no man or zone beater route tree to read: the primary read is the edge defender's leverage and the flow of the second level linebackers, deciding whether to bounce outside off the kick block or cut upfield if the alley is sealed.

Defensive Reads

Watch the play side defensive end or outside linebacker leverage before the snap, if he is sitting wide and squared up he is reading run first and will blow up the sweep Check for a QB spy or contain defender aligned outside the tackle box, this alignment kills Jet QB Sweep before it starts Key the flow of the middle linebacker after jet motion, if he flows hard with the motion man the alley opens for the QB to cut upfield Look for user controlled defenders sitting at the second level, since a good user player will squeeze the edge and force the QB to cut inside into pursuit Identify if the defense is in a run blitz or gap exchange front, which can either blow up the sweep instantly or overcommit and leave a wide open crease off the kick out block

Usage Tips

Use pre-snap motion to identify if defenders flow with the jet man, which tells you whether the defense is playing assignment football or spying the QB

Call this on early downs or in short yardage when defenses are sitting back in coverage shells expecting RPO Alert Bubble or RPO Peek Slant looks from this same formation

Mix Jet QB Sweep in after establishing RPO Zone Read Bubble and RPO Orbit Bubble so linebackers bite on jet motion and bubble threats, opening the edge for the QB

Audition the play against defenses that show heavy inside blitz looks since the edge is often vacated by an overpursuing defensive end or crashing linebacker

Avoid calling this into aggressive contain rushers or spy techniques that key the quarterback immediately off the snap, since they erase the edge before the kick block develops
