If properly executed, the quarterback will have only the free safety to beat with a guard out front paving the way for him. If the quarterback recognizes man coverage, he takes off through the open running lane, staying behind his blocker. The vast majority of these jet sweep plays are handoffs from the quarterback to the receiver, though the ball can be shovel passed as well. He then delivers a strike for a gain of 10-12 yards (plus whatever the tight end can get after the catch). A jet sweep in football is a play football in which a wide receiver comes in motion across the formation and receives the ball from the quarterback. The idea is that the jet sweep gives receivers (read: ball carriers) the same type of downhill head-start on the defense that returners rely upon during. If he recognizes zone coverage, he stops, plants his feet and waits for the tight end to clear his zone. The quarterback, who has been running, is also surveying the field. This frees up the tight end, who is running a mid-post behind the middle linebacker. The route is intended to split the safeties and especially to draw the free safety nearer to the middle of the field. The Z receiver runs a deep post, but this is mostly a dummy route. DecemBy Alan Saunders Hating the jet sweep has become almost as popular among the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase as hating the man that helped make the play what it has become today around football, offensive coordinator Matt Canada. The X receiver runs up the field seven yards, and executes an out pattern. This pulls the corner toward the sideline and gives the quarterback a wider running lane behind the guard, should he choose to take off with it. While all of this is going on, the X receiver, tight end and Z receiver have all broken out into routes. The quarterback then loops in the opposite direction, running toward the backside of the play with the pulling guard out front. The right guard executes a pull to the weak side of the formation, and the running back steps up into that hole to seal the backside.
