He is there for a reason: to seal the edge of the formation with the quarterback getting to the edge of the pocket. And there is a key pre-snap alert when the running back shows a 'chowed' alignment (outside leg of the tackle). There are two routes defenses have to prepare for out of the sprint series: Flat-7 (Corner) and Flat-Curl. Make the defender work through the wash to match the flat. I love this play as a two-point option or deep in the red zone, and we see it across the league from teams such as the Eagles and Chiefs.

Angles, false steps and such are the difference between a defensive stop and a receiver walking into the end zone. If Welker can't set the pick, the reduced split and the misdirection in the backfield will create enough traffic to force the cornerback to bubble over the top. That knocks the cornerback off his path to match the flat and opens up the entire right side of the field for Sanders. Here's an example from a Broncos two-point play using 'Posse/11' personnel (three receivers, one tight end, one running back) against the Dolphins, with wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders shifting to the backfield to give Denver a split-back look out of the shotgun.Ĭheck out Welker's release and the pick he sets on Grimes.

This forces the defender in coverage to fight through traffic to match the route. The Swap Boot is very similar to a standard boot scheme, but in this situation the receiver or back running the flat route works behind the line of scrimmage.

This is a quick toss, an immediate target for the quarterback when executed properly. Get the quarterback to the edge of the pocket, improve the sight lines and give him a primary read underneath on a high-percentage throw, with a receiver or back working away from coverage. Moving the quarterback is an excellent way to create throwing lanes and counter zero-pressure or man-pressure on a two-point attempt. Using the All-22 tape, let's put together our own two-point playbook with a series of play calls and concepts that highlight personnel, alignment, scheme and specific one-on-one matchups. So, how do you manage these two-point situations as an offensive play-caller, knowing there will be pressure looks, stacked run fronts and defenders in the secondary who are willing to jump routes given the limited space on the field?
