CB Blitz vs. Rocket Motion

[gkalikas]

We've run into some issues with CB blitzing and tackling our Rocket motion. We've gone Skinny as an answer with some success and have also run Rocket to a Wing look which has given us leverage and helped. Question is how can you combat this out of a Spread formation (2x2)? Also, we can't throw...in years past we would play action this with Rocket Pass but it just really is not an option this year.

Some things we are thinking about doing are switch blocking perimeter and getting PSAB on CB but will PSOT be able to block #2 by himself? Rocket toss pass and BB toss are other options we're thinking about.

Any help is appreciated in this as it has been an issue all year. Thank you.

For them to blitz the corner there has to be some sort of rotation unless you are talking about an unsound defense (double run support)

If they are rotating go back against the motion.

If its double support you HAVE to throw the fade. Even if you can't throw - lob it up there is no defender. If you don't do this you are making an unsound defense sound.

YOU ONLY NEED TO COMPLETE THIS ONCE.

We had somebody do this to us in the state championships. Hit us at crucial 4th and short. Later we play actioned. Didn't even throw ball to wr but he was so wide open they stopped this nonsense. (I guess coach saw that in booth
