Play of the Week
PLAY ACTION FB FLAT
After you have pounded your team into submission with running your off tackle isolations and power-G plays, now its time to take advantage of the LB's and secondary cheating up on the line of scrimmage. Very easy to run, a high completion percentage pass. The QB play fakes to the TB off tackle and makes a simple high/low read. If he sees the TE open downfield on the corner route, he makes a nice lofted pass for the TE to run to. If the TE is covered, 9 times out of 10, the FB will be uncovered, especially in youth football. This play is run to this day at the pro level, and is one of the simplest play action passes to implement.
