MULTIPLE FORMATIONS

Rocket and Jet Sweep

• Latest Innovation for the Wing-t. – Denny Diericx

– Bruce Cobleigh

• Must run as a series. – Sweeps set up inside plays and vice versa.

• Compliments traditional Wing-t Series. – Bucksweep, Counter, etc.. All are enhanced by

the Rocket and Jet.



Why the Rocket and Jet?

• Forces the defense to defend the entire field. – DB’s forced to become tacklers. DL forced to run thefield.

• Puts playmakers in playmaking situations. – Low risk way to get RB’s the ball in space.

• Very little blocking.

– Only block players from the C gap out on Rocket. – Only block players from the B gap out on Jet.




• Easy audible for QB. – Numbering system is simple and only he needs

to know it.

• Much easier to install than to defend.

– Matter of reps with QB and RB’s.

– Speed of motions cause problems to defense.

– Blocking rules fit into terminology.

• Learning another play not another technique.




• Excellent Passing game off of motions. – Can adjust other routes.

– Can add routes specific to the motion.

• Formation Friendly. – Much simpler to use multiple formations

• Minimizes Stunts by defense.

– Stunts to motions can be taken advantage of.• Assign Coaches to Gaps.

• Secondary must respond to motion.

– Must be prepared to play the run on the edge.




• Split End must be a threat. – Can help the SE be a threat.

• Multiple Counters off of motions.

– Can be run to FB, WB, or HB



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. (WB, HB, & FB)

• Plays compliment each other along with others.



QB Play

• Rocket – Open to Play

– Step to Pitch

– Pitch with “body”

– Nothing else matters butmaking good pitch

– Aiming point should be thesame regardless of who

rocket back is. – Release point must be up

and down not side to side

• Jet

– 180 Spin towards play

– Ball should stay at belly

button

– Ball only needs to go into jetbacks belly if it is a jet

sweep.

– Should reach 180 at same

time as back arrives

– Continuous movement w/

fake to fb and boot away

from play



Motion Back Play

• Rocket Back – Motion should take to

outside leg of PST on

snap regardless of

starting point.

– 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.

– Focus on landmarks

– BE FAST
