I have a similar rpo off of the jetsweep. Give your receiver option routes as well with RPO's. If the safety follows the jet the slant is a good route. But if the safety stays put and the fs follow the jet have the wr to go over the top man to man. A deep post to fill the void the FS makes is a killer. My X receiver had 19 catches for 350+ yards in 4 games. The next level version of the RPO's is to install option routes. Option football basically.
We play couple of teams that blitz the SS on our jet sweep. This seems to be a great counter to that scenario. Also another option for the qb, if the blitzer chases the sweeper and loses containment, qb can pull and run outside.
Exactly, i blitz the Ss immediately when facing this in youth” the qb has immediate pressure and no protection. I also back off my corner 7 yards and teach from day one play inside the WR. No slants! I would never play my corner head up in youth like this , bump the FS with motion, blitz the SS immediately off the edge , back off your corner 5-7 yards inside eye. I also have my weak lber play games and drop off into the slant route while blitzing my SS. It destroys this set.
I've been running the spread for about 8 years, and it was the best thing i could have done. I had a small line, and it helped open up the running lanes and presented mismatches for passes. 90% of the time, we knew where the ball was going based on pre snap---open season vs closed (safety middle of field).

Absolutely!

I would love to see this vs 4-4 defense or 3-5-3.
Do you have a live play so I can see your jet motion. I see in the notes he can't move until ball is snapped.
Dumb question. The wings are still off the line right? Even in spread? SE on line.
David Harvey yes, wings are still off of the line of scrimmage.
How would you call or name this play to keep it simple for the youth?
For us, we call it Ace Left Jet-Stant RPO
Do you have anymore rpo plays
We have a couple of RPO resources on our website, but this is the only RPO video we have. Do you have anything in particular you'd like us to draw up?
What formation is this called
- Care to share what terminology you use, for the play call? - or do you just call it Jet Sweep/ Slant. in the huddle.....
We call it “Ace Left (formation) 38 Jet/ Slant”. We try and keep it simple.
We called it Double Jet Keep zulu/slant
