Chapter 11 - THE JET SWEEPChapter 11 - THE JET SWEEP11-111-1

The Jet Sweep has become the latest and most talked about Wing-Taddition for some time. Many Wing-T teams and some non-Wing teams arerunning some form of the Jet package. The Jet Sweep is based on the fullsprint motion from one of the two wing backs crossing the formation directlybehind the quarterback while incorporating many zone type blockingschemes. The back in motion places the defense in even greater conflictbecause of the speed of the motion.

This chapter will focus on the Sweep portion of the package and willfeature running the Sweep from several formations. The Sweep attack isfurther amplified by running the plays form a wide variety of formations. Oneof the first teams to feature the Jet package at the college level is CumberlandUniversity in Lebanon, Tennessee. The Cumberland attack is based on the“Edge Blocking System” behind a multitude of formations.
