OUR FORMATIONS ARE designed to give the defense match-up problems. The 133 TE dump is off our zone-dive action. This formation is very hard to align to and it’s tough for defenses to try to cover both the zone and the dump.
DIAGRAM 1: RT Pro Gun Green 133 TE Dump (Vs. Cover 2 or Cover 4).
Against either cover 2 or cover 4 coverages, split the safeties with the tight end. The quarterback makes his fake to the running back and delivers the pass as the TE clears the linebackers.
DIAGRAM 2: RT Pro Gun Green 133 TE Dump (Vs. Cover 1 or Cover 3).
If the defense is playing with one safety, they’ll be in a world of hurt against this play. With one free safety, the defense must declare what side of the field he’ll align — whether it be to cover the H receiver or the middle of the field.
If the FS covers the H receiver, call the dump immediately. If the FS aligns in the middle of the field and they cover the H receiver with a LB, then you can run the zone.

(Editor’s Note: Check out a great complementary play to this series called “133 H-Post” that appeared on page 16 of the August/September, 2002, issue of Gridiron Strategies. If the FS is keying on the TE in this series, the “133 H-Post” will get you a big play!)
