Misdirection

The Misdirection tag flags plays built on false keys: counter steps, fake handoffs, and backfield flow that pulls linebackers and user-controlled defenders away from where the ball actually goes. It spans 7 formations and 20 sets, from Power I and Full House heavy looks to Shotgun and Split Backs spread sets, covering 24 plays like HB Misdirection, H Misdirection Str, FB Fake HB Flip, and Shovel Option. Filter by this tag when you want run concepts that punish aggressive run blitzing and second-level users who overcommit on first-step reads, especially as a change-up off your base inside zone or stretch calls.
