HB Toss Fk Reverse

Key the backside defensive end and outside linebacker before the snap, if they are aligned to crash down on run flow without maintaining contain this play will hit big. Watch for user controlled defenders spying the backfield instead of committing to the toss action, a disciplined spy or lurk defender can blow up the reverse before it develops. Defenses that stay square and play read technique up front, staying home on both edges, take this play away completely since there is no misdirection advantage against assignment sound fronts. Heavy edge pressure and contain blitzes shut this down quickly because the reverse needs extra time to develop, so aggressive pre-snap pressure disguises are a major threat to this call. Look for safeties rotating late or cheating toward the initial toss flow, a fast flowing secondary that overpursues opens up the cutback lane on the reverse side.
