Advantage of the Scat in the Wing-T or Jet offense

• Can throw the ball effectively out of 100/900 Formation• Effective out of any formation• Gives the offense a valuable no motion play• All purpose routes• Can be run with any kind of motion• Great pass out of empty formations• Easy pass protection rules• Put you best players in space• Easy to drill• High completion percentage

Disadvantage

May not have enough practice time Quarterback must be able to throw fairly well Must hit a hot read QB must be have and understanding of the

coverage Quick release helpful Receivers must run precise routes. Must decide if you will use the routes to

warrant the practice time

Wingback/ HB Alignment

The halfback’s alignment is one foot outside the end man on the line of scrimmage.

The wingback aligns one foot outside the Tight End and one foot deep

Rules for the 2 Man Scat

The Ends always run the Scat The Wing back or Z runs the glance The backs flair If there is no wing and the formation is

balanced the QB will make a Right or Left call. This tells which HB runs the glance.

Scat Route

The Scat route is a spacing route in which the receiver finds the hole between the linebackers approximately 6 to 7 yards deep

Most recently we scat at linebacker depth Punch & Pivot

Scat TechniqueC

B

Sit down between the linebackerCatch and get vertical

HB

As the force defender (#2) passes the Wr’s hip he will sit-down between #2 and the ILB. The Quarterback reads #2 and throw accordingly.

Technique of the Scat Receiver

Scat receiver must show his numbers and outstretch his hands to the QB

Catches the ball: look and tuck. Scat receiver must get vertical. Catch, turn up field vertically, put hand on

the ground to eliminate drifting, split defenders.

Glance

The glance route is just a skinny post run by the outside receiver to the Tight End side. The Wing or Z will nod on the seventh step and run for the near post.

We have recently adjusted the route to nod at 10 (like the Basic launch point)

The glance will be run by the outside receiver.

Glance Technique

7th Step

Skinny Post

Or 10 yards

Flair check

The back will check for the linebacker blitz then flair.

The FB may flair check or release 70 protection with a flair check. Flair must replace the feet of WR. Stretch the defense.

QB pre snap decision/can he hit the Glance? F/S – is he 8 yards or less? If the F/S is at 8: go

TE side. QB Progression: Glance, Scat, Flair If F/S does not back pedal hard, look for the

glance to beat the F/S F/S – 9 yards or more, go SE and read #2 SE side throw off #2: Scat/ Flat If QB is skilled he can read glance, then back to

SE side.

The word switch tells the spit end and the outside reciever the switch assignments. This enables us to change the routes of recievers , thus making sure the defense cannot sit on our routes.

2 Scat Route from Gun The FB will align to the side of the Flair Heels at the Toes of the Quarterback

Justification of Rules

We package all our plays. Each of our packages must have 3 concepts for us to assimilate a passing game package into our Jet or Wing-T offense.

Run in all formations Rules for receivers All purpose (can be run vs. any defense)

3 Scat in the Wing-T

3 Man Scat Rules Outside receiver to 3 Scat side runs the Scat The 2nd receiver to the 3-scat side runs the

corner route unless the play is tagged. The end away from the scat runs a

combination route. Corner/ glance :Basic/Post :Pac/ Corner

The running backs flair check

Quarterback Progression on 3 Scat

Look the 3-receiver side first and see the depth of the F/S

F/S 8 or less /Corner route F/S 9 or more sneak a peek at the nod of

the Corner route then read the #2. If he runs with the Flair hit Scat.

Tagging the 3 Scat Routes

When we want to alter the route and give the defense new conflicts we Tag the Route. The Tag will affect either the 2nd receiver on the 3 Scat side or the 2-receiver side away from the Scat.

Basic

The first alteration of the route is the “Basic” The word basic tells the 2nd receiver to the 3-

receiver side to run a square in route or what we call a dig instead of the corner route.

We will try to hit a post over the Top, then High/ low the front side inside LB

The receiver will release inside and run vertical for 10 yards.

He will plant and run inside finding the hole “HUNT” between the linebackers

X receiver

The split end or X receiver must change his route to give the pattern space.

He will run a Q route. The X will run inside for 3 steps to attract the will

linebacker. After the 3 steps inside the receiver will get

vertical for 12 yards then nod inside then break to the flag.

The running back will flare

QB Progression read/ Basic

QB will read the depth of the F/S F/S is 8 yards or less/ look for the SE on

the post over the basic route. F/S deep / high low the front side LB LB drops under Basic/ hit the Scat LB jumps the Scat/ Hit the dig hunting the

hole.

We can even get into empty sets and run 2 & 3 man Scats. This really complements our running game because we can run the jet sweep out of any formation.

Empty jet sweep can be a devastating play if you can keep the defense from crowding the LOS.

The 2 & 3 man Scat routes will force the defense to honor the pass.

270 3 Scat Basic

PAC

When the defense is sitting on the basic route we call PAC.

PAC means Post or Corner. We want the second receiver to run the Post or give him

the option of running the corner. The post cut in PAC is a double move. We want the

receiver to jab as if running the corner route then plant and go to the post. If the defense makes a mistake on the post you will have touchdown.

Remember, the quarterback will look Post, Flair, Scat.

Tag Opposite the Scat Route

Delta Tag- The name of our curl flat route is called Delta.

The X receiver away from the 3 Man Scat will run the delta or deep post curl.

Flair – On our regular curl route we run and arrow with or halfback

When we tag the Delta on the Scat route we have the halfback run the flair instead of the arrow.
