Breakdown

HB Slash Fk End Arnd is a trick run play out of Singleback Wing 12 personnel that fakes an end around motion to sell misdirection before handing off on the actual designed run path shown by the red arrow. The offensive line shows a run blocking scheme up front with the fullback/wing arcing to the play side to seal the edge while the deep receiver on the sideline is simply a decoy stretching horizontally to freeze pursuit. This is a run play designed to punish overaggressive run fits and linebackers who bite on flow, with the primary read being the play side gap integrity: hit it downhill immediately if the alley is clean, or bend it back away from flow if defenders overpursue the fake end around action.

Defensive Reads

Key the linebacker flow at the snap, if they immediately chase the end around motion man this play has a numbers advantage on the backside Watch the defensive end and outside linebacker on the play side edge, disciplined edge defenders who stay home on contain will shut down the cutback lane Identify base 4-3 or 3-4 fronts pre-snap since heavier boxes with linebackers reading run first are the most vulnerable to the misdirection Look for defenses in nickel or dime sub packages with lighter boxes, these alignments have fewer bodies to fill gaps and can get gashed if they overpursue the fake Track user controlled defenders near the line, a spy or defender staying square to the backfield instead of flowing with the fake will blow up the play design

Usage Tips

Use this play when linebackers have shown fast flow or aggressive pursuit tendencies on prior snaps so the end around fake actually manipulates their eyes

Call it on early downs like first or second and short to medium yardage when defenses are more likely to sit in base run fits instead of nickel or dime sub packages

Pair it in a sequence with End Around Lead and PA End Around from the same set so defenders cannot key on the fake without respecting the real end around threat

Watch strong safety and linebacker depth pre-snap, if they are stacked tight to the box expect a quick fill and be ready to bounce the run outside the fake motion

Combine this call with HB Counter WK or HB Power O earlier in a series to establish gap run tendencies, then use this misdirection concept to counter the defense keying on those runs
