Reverse

2 Formations6 Sets9 Plays

Overview

The Reverse tag collects every play built around a backfield or receiver handoff that flips the ball back against the flow of the defense, spanning both Singleback and Shotgun formations across sets like Bunch, Y Trips Wk, Trey Offset, Wing Close, and Bunch Y-Flex. It covers true reverses (Pitch WR Reverse, HB Toss Fk Reverse) along with play-action shells that only threaten the reverse to hold the backside defender, such as Mtn DBL Post Reverse Dragon and Fake Reverse. Filtering by this tag lets you build a misdirection package that punishes users who over-pursue with their controlled defender or lean too heavily on one-side blitz pressure, and it pairs cleanly with outside zone and toss-heavy run schemes that condition the defense to chase.
