Featured Plays - Fake Jet Sweep, Option Pitch
DIAGRAM: This is a super play that keeps the defense off balance. It's been a nice counter for us, in that it keeps the defenses honest vs. the fly. The call is "Liz, Zoom, 39."

Out of a trips look, we'll fake the fly sweep. When the defense rotates with motion, the QB pitches to the TB and normal sweep blocking occurs as indicated by the diagram. The TB secures the pitch, waits for his blocks to develop and heads upfield.
