Assortment of Plays #1 - NFL

Handful of plays I watched recently and wanted to note down. Either old youtube videos or recent games. 

1. Fake Power Screen Away


  • The fake same side power action by the Sniffer and OL has the LBs pushing away from the screen, creating favorable angles for the linemen getting out to block for the screen.
    • Faking same side power with Sniffer lead and RG kick.
    • LT, LG, C all block down but they make sure to stay on the LOS, to avoid getting downfield before the screen is thrown.
    • LG and C take a 1 second count on their block, then shed out to the screen.
    • HB fakes like he is picking up the Ni blitz after the PA, then olays and goes for screen.
    • WRs run off the underneath coverage.

2.  QB motion spinout

  • The QB taking the snap with speed to the boundary, as well as the offensive line blocking down and the HB leading to the edge, all encourage the line backers to flow boundary. This opens a window for the crosser when the QB spins out.
    • QB steps to the field, then at a run back towards the center takes a snap in the gun (think jet motion). QB spins out to the field after taking the snap.
    • Offensive line zone blocks down the line, with HB lead making it look like QB zone lead.
    • TE hinging on the backside to seal the edge for the spinout.
    • LBs flow with the backfield and OL actions, and CB steps down to set the edge, putting them all out of position against the crosser.

3. Punt - Jet RPO
  • The jam/cornerback is conflicted 3 ways: jet away, punter running to him, and post behind him. This is an old game and the adjustment is probably to have everyone on the punt team to have peel rules for non-blockers, to have the LT accounted for on his route here. If there is a better solution please let me know. 
    • Gunner jets on personal protector signal.
    • Ball snapped when jet intersects punter.
    • Punter keeps and runs to jet origin.
    • LT releases on a corner, aiming behind the CB.
    • CB is left in no-mans land between the jet, the punter with the ball, and the post behind him.
