What’s your hang your hat on run out of shotgun?

[@PLab8]

Coach Joe Salas depends on what the defense gives us and how they play but we run zone about 4 different ways, we run counter gt and f, and we run jet sweep. We can base everything or read front or back side and also use rpo when needed to control extra defender.

Counter!

Dart!

[@PLab8]

Coach wanted to urge you to try running the back as if he running a sweep to the right then stop and counter back to the left to supplement the jab step you use. If I am not making sense let me know I will elaborate (and I’ll throw you a picture on Twitter) just another look that works for us. Thanks for your videos.

Paul Lewis I like it just watched an old dart video and that was base way they ran it.👍

[@Bey11ktb]

What are the rules for the pulling tackle? Is he always inserting or will he wrap?

[@CoachJoeSalas]

Bey11ktb he wants to insert but will loop if necessary 🏈

[@johnpoulnott7808]

The tackle will pull every time unless we replace him with a sniffer to protect the QB on our STICK and SLANT RPO's. If we change CTR to Dart then we play games according to the PS DE technique but want him to Wrap as much as possible.

Coach Salas didn’t you play these guys. This field looks familiar.
