Michael Schearer. NW Ohio Football Coach. Coach Spurlock. Coach Big B. Kerric Alexander. Justin Schnurer. Technically this is wrong. It's just a reverse. And to me it's like hearing nails on a chalk board.

Here's a video from NFL. Double reverse implies that a single reverse has been run, before the double portion of the reverse comes to fruition. In that NFL. I started searching for a GIF or a video clip to show a true double reverse, but kept stumbling upon numbskulls that were calling it something it wasn't and my blood pressure couldn't take any more idiocy.

Notice the fake hand-off to the Atlanta tailback to the right side of their line. That is designed to get the defense's eyes on him and to suck the player responsible for back side contain down the line of scrimmage. Now look at Tampa Bay's 57 Larry English. He's responsible for back side contain. An end around is a hand off to a split end often times, but not always.

There are three differences however. One, quarterback Drew Brees reverse pivots before faking to his running back. This is a wasted movement and may even be a detriment to the play. If the point of running this play is to get the defense flowing towards the running back, then the quarterback should open up that same direction.

Two, the end around is a give to flexed tight end Josh Hill. New Orleans wants to show strength to their right, then hit the end around back to the weak side. And three, New York outside linebacker Quinton Coples 98 stays home to crush the play.

The Packers know this and they were ready. Look at the Green Bay corner 37 Sam Shields at the top of the screen. He recognizes the end around so he follows Jeffery's motion. As you can plainly see, the End Around is not a Reverse. The Jet Sweep is not an End Around. Can add routes specific to the motion. Minimizes Stunts by defense.

Stunts to motions can be taken advantage of. Assign Coaches to Gaps. Split End must be a threat. Can help the SE be a threat. Just Rocket, Just Jet, or Both? Both Jet is more a speed play. Tougher motion for defense to see. Not as many opportunities for back to make a move.

Rocket allows back a better view of field. Good for bigger backs. Can cut back, up, or out. Can be run to any back. Open to Play Step to Pitch Pitch with body Nothing else matters but making good pitch Aiming point should be the same regardless of who rocket back is.

Release point must be up and down not side to side. Jet Spin towards play Ball should stay at belly button Ball only needs to go into jetbacks belly if it is a jet sweep. Focus on pitch and nothing else. Read edge blocks to make appropriate cut. Jet back Motion should take to outside leg of BSG on snap regardless of starting point. Open to playside, step to and make pitch to rocket back. Fake to FB and carry out bootleg.

Jet Rules 1 Make degree turn from center and hand ball to WB. Formations Formation use on these plays is left to imagination and system. Basic principles stay the same. Simple to teach and difficult to defend. Use of formations makes stunts and keys much tougher. Multiple options for both Rocket has more flexibility Many are now running them from the gun.
