The Play to Run versus the Easy Stunt is Rocket Toss

February 22, 2016

The Easy Stunt is an exchange between #2 (pitch key) and #1 (read key).  How the Easy Stunt works is listed below.

On Triple versus the Easy Stunt the Quarterback takes the snap, seats the ball, hops into the Playside A-gap, points the ball, gives to the B, unless 2 runs through the B or 1 can tackle the B.  If so, the Quarterback reseats the ball, steps with his playside foot, replaces #1 and scores unless #2 steps at him.  If so, the Quarterback parallel pitches.  The key to this drill is to make the Quarterback urgently and accurately pitch the ball.  Whoever is responsible for the Quarterback is running a straight line to get to him in order to make him pitch.

If you still can’t get 4+ yards running Triple versus the Easy Stunt, come back the next play and run Rocket Toss.  The blitzing linebacker (#2) takes himself out of the play as he can’t recover to get on the Backside A-Back running the Toss.
