The Company defense

By: caz
Add to Mixx!

Do their safeties come up very hard? It appears from the drawing that they play at least 5 -7 yds off. Seems like the flats would be ripe for quick hits.

Naturally the 47 Jet sweep would appear to work if timing is right, especially if SE can crack the DE, or at least the OLB that side.

Another idea is the quick screen to the SE, maybe even do SE over, quick screen to him, with WB leading/taking out S2. Question would be how fast could B4 get there.

The one that is not really in your playbook but can be easily adapted would be a swing pass to either side. Mainly see this working b/c they don't follow the motion.

Particularly a 16 look with Jet motion (yes you would have to adjust the path of WB to make sure that he and HB don't run into each other) where QB fakes the 16 then drops back one step and immediately throws to your WB who has speed going the other way. If WB can catch that out past the DE, the only man who should be able to touch be S1, (the SE should be blocking nearest deepest so that should also slow him down and if he cheats leaves the corner route to SE wide open) maybe B1 but he would have to be very disciplined. If you add a Right call with it and get the RG pulling to lead for WB, if he is fast enough, might be able to pick up B1 and if not at least cut off some of the pursuit from B2 or B3.

Might also look to do this type of play off of buck action where you could get either FB or HB as a lead blocker for the WB.

It really seems like you might be able to abuse the flats b/c of the deep safeties, the key is getting outside the boxing DE's.

We put in a swing pass off of a 23 quick look to HB going other way for all star game and, the one time we called it, on an EP try, the HB caught the ball one yard past LOS with NO one within 10 yards of him.

Really good against teams that over pursue and not hard to teach. There are others in the flats, but that is what came to my head to start.

Hope it helps.
