I like rocket better just bc I like that it hits north and south faster than jet. Plus more teams in our conference run jet as opposed to rocket and I 1. Like to be different and 2. Feel that since we r the only ones who run it, then it is more difficult to stop for other teams

I like rocket better because it hits wider...we occassionally had penatration problems w/ jet but never w/ rocket

After "voting" I never elaborated because I am a firm believer in both Jet & Rocket. We very well were one of the 1st teams to run Jet Sweep in Illinois high schools in 1998. Likewise with the Rocket Sweep. We have tinkered with all kinds of blocking schemes over the years. Now we block both plays the same way. It never ceases to amaze me that in some games one of these Sweeps is great and the other one gets stuffed Over alll these seasons, the yards per play at end of season is basically equal. Sorry for no definitive opinion but as long as I coach we will run both ! Denny Dierick |

We have been a rocket only team for several years but have decided to put in Jet this year as well. We have installed a 3 play package off of jet motion (a counter away and a play action pass). We chose to install it because we have 3 very athletic slots and wanted another direct call to get them the ball. We block both plays the same and looking to see what it gives us this fall.

Rocket puts much more pressure on the defense IMO. The play is wider & faster.
Rocket motion is a similar motion path to the bulk of our motion plays as well, we are constantly going in "influence" motion & false motion early so it is not always a "tell" for the defense when we go flying out of there.
I have run both & to me it's not close. The one advantage to the jet is the ball-handling & deception is better but the true play itself is not better.

I like rocket better because of what I can run off of it...I have a lot of speed so running waggle or counter off of it is deadly.

See, I disagree, I think there are way more plays to run off jet. I ran both for two years and then decided to put rocket in and scrap jet, however I liked jet, just seemed like too much to do and rocket did so much for weakening the flank of a defense that I just couldn't let it go.
Now when was in the gun, I liked the way jet hit much better than rocket.
