How to teach it

  • 1Line blocks power while the backside guard pulls to lead for the QB keep.
  • 2QB sells the jet fake, then follows the pulling guard downhill.
  • 3Wing's jet fake must look identical to the real jet sweep.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !QB rushes the fake and defenders don't bite — sell the jet mesh.
  • !Pulling guard is late — teach a quick, tight pull through the hole.
