Coaching Points:
- When running the Singleback Wing Pair – Stretch WR Screen, make sure you look and see what the cornerback is doing across from the split end. iI the event that he is playing off the split end, then watch to see what he does once the ball is snapped. On the other hand, if he drops back, then make this quick throw to the split end. If he comes up to cover the split end you, then you must run the ball with the running back.
- One thing that we like to do is sub the number three tight end who will line up on the outside of the three tight ends. We sub him in with an offensive lineman. Once we do this, we motion him to the outside, where he can block a smaller defensive back. This allows us to get to the outside with our running back. In most cases, we can pick up positive yardage against man or zone coverage.
