Complimentary Plays

• Motion- All complimentary plays can be ran with
  or without the use of motion. Motion may cause
  the defense to rotate to stop rocket/jet sweep
  which will leave less defenders in the box.
  Motion will leave you with one less blocker on
  some plays like X or guard out.
• If you run guard out to the motion the DE may fan
  and the PSG can pull through the hole and lead.
• Bootleg/Keep- At anytime bootleg or keep can be
  tagged to the play call to use the QB as a
  runner. Bootleg means the QB keeps around the
  end opposite of the call hole. Keep means the QB
  keeps the ball around the end on the same side of
  the call hole.
• If you tag truck or counter trey as a keep the
  back in rocket/jet motion will be a lead blocker
  for the QB.
• Inside Zone- The wedge play can be run with any
  type of motion or no motion at all. It can also
  be run as an inside zone play in which zone
  principles are used for blocking. This is best
  accomplished with rocket or jet motion.
• Power- Do not forget to run the power! It will
  put the defensive end in a bind as to his
  assignment.
