Breakdown

Fk Jet Toss Pass is a jet sweep fake pass out of the Shotgun U Off Trips Wk set that uses the jet motion action to freeze linebackers and hold second level defenders before the quarterback throws off the play fake. The blocking scheme sells outside toss run action to the flank while the receivers work into the route concept in the vacated space created by the misdirection. Primary read progression starts with the flat or shallow crosser that opens up when the defense bites on the run fake, then works to the intermediate breaking route if the underneath defenders sit or if the linebackers do not bite on the jet action. This is a play action man and zone beater that punishes overaggressive run defense and linebackers who key the backfield instead of their coverage assignments.

Defensive Reads

Watch linebacker depth and flow at the snap, if they crash hard toward the jet motion side the underneath zones and man matchups will be wide open behind them. Check safety alignment pre-snap, a single high safety indicates man coverage underneath which favors this play's route concept working away from the run fake. Identify if the defense is playing zone with a cornerback sinking into a deep third or half, since the play fake can freeze the corner just long enough to complete the throw before the zone closes. User controlled lurk defenders sitting in the intermediate middle can jump the crossing route, so be ready to check down to the flat route if you see a user spy or lurking linebacker not biting on the fake. Aggressive edge blitzes or contain defenders crashing down on the jet action can disrupt the quarterback's launch point, so account for backside edge pressure and be ready to throw quickly or roll away from unblocked rushers.

Usage Tips

Use the jet motion pre-snap to bait linebackers into flowing with the sweep action, then confirm if they bite before the snap by watching their shuffle steps toward the fake toss direction.

This play hits hardest against defenses that have shown aggressive run fits or blitz tendencies on early downs, so mix it in on second and short or first and ten after establishing HB Toss Fk Jet or Same Side Zone to condition the defense to respect the run.

If the defense shows a single high safety shell, expect man coverage underneath and prioritize the route that attacks the vacated flat since linebackers will be occupied by run fits.

Against two high safety shells, hot route the backside receiver into a quick out or speed out to punish light zone coverage on the perimeter since one of the safeties will be conflicted by the play fake.

Sequence this play after running HB Toss Fk Jet a few times in the same drive so the defense overplays the jet sweep, making the pass fake far more effective at freezing the second level.
