Waggle Right (Boot Pass)

Quarterback fakes the buck sweep, boots opposite, and reads the flood of receivers.

Concept: Backside guard pulls to protect the edge; tight end drags, wingback runs the flat, and split end runs a deep post.

14UIntroduce: Learn the footwork and the primary read; protect first, then complete the easy throw. Add the pulling guard(s) leading through the hole. Add the fake/mesh — and a counter off the very same look. Add the play-action throw off this run action. Run it fast both directions and check into it by defensive look.

Every position's job

QB

Fake the buck sweep, boot to the right, and read the flood high-to-low (post, flat, drag).

FB

Run the buck dive fake, then check-release as a late safety valve.

HB

Fake the buck sweep to sell the run and hold the linebackers.

Playside Guard

Down-block or set the playside edge in the boot direction.

Backside Guard

Pull to the boot side to protect the edge/contain defender.

Center

Block back and protect the interior against inside rush.

Playside Tackle

Hinge and protect the playside.

Backside Tackle

Hinge-block to seal backside pursuit.

TE

Release and run the drag across the field as the underneath option.

WB

Run to the flat as the short flood route.

Split End

Run a deep post to clear the top and stress the safety.

How to teach it

  • 1Backside guard pulls to protect the edge — this is the key protection block for the boot.
  • 2QB carries out a believable sweep fake before booting; eyes stay downfield.
  • 3Flood spacing: split end deep post, TE drag underneath, wingback in the flat — three levels.

Common mistakes to fix

  • !QB rushes the fake and defenders don't bite — teach a full, patient buck fake.
  • !Routes bunch at the same depth — space the flat, drag, and post at three distinct levels.
