Statue Reverse Left

Quarterback fakes a pass and slips the ball to a wing coming around on the reverse.

Concept: Line shows pass set then releases as the wing takes the hidden handoff to the opposite edge.

How to teach it

  • 1Line shows a pass set to freeze the rush before releasing to block the reverse.
  • 2The behind-the-back/hidden handoff must be well-rehearsed.
  • 3QB sells the throw with a full arm motion before the handoff.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !Handoff is dropped — fix by drilling the exchange slowly then at speed.
  • !Line releases before selling pass — fix by teaching them to set first.
