Step 1
Assume your defense faces a typical split-back offense (see first step of "Run a Football Offense: Quick Pitch" under Related eHows).
-
Step 2
Position the right tackle in the gap between the center and the right guard.
-
Step 3
Set the left tackle in the gap between the left guard and tackle.
-
Step 4
Position the left end head-up on the tight end.
-
Step 5
Have the right end block the outside shoulder of the offensive tackle.
-
Step 6
Start four linebackers 3 to 4 yards behind the line, with one behind each tackle and one 3 to 4 yards to either side of the ends.
-
Step 7
Set two corners in your defensive secondary, 7 yards off the line of scrimmage and opposite any receivers, usually the split end and flanker.
-
Step 8
Leave a free safety 9 to 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage, between the center linebackers.
-
Step 9
Launch the play. It will appear that the defensive left tackle should block on the outside shoulder of the guard. Instead, let him cross to the right and attempt to slip in between the guard and center. This may surprise the guard and cause him to shift toward the center.
-
Step 10
Send the left-center linebacker racing forward as the guard is sucked inward, slipping through the resulting gap.
-
Step 11
Sack the quarterback.
