 This is a great play against a conservative secondary or a prevent defense. Tighten receiver X's alignment and drag him across to hold the linebackers. 2 and 3 receivers are the "secondary stretchers" and aren't in the QB's read. They need to push the safety and the corner deep and as fast as possible. Throw to receiver 1 as he runs a deep post 20 to 22 yards. Because of the alignment, 1 will be behind receivers 2 and 3. The inside and outside LBs will never drop that deep. If they do, hit receiver X as he's dragging across the field. —Brad Dehem, Assistant Coach, First Presbyterian Day School, Macon, Ga. |
