Steps for backfield for 80's toss in wing T?

Coach: FB path on the Rocket Sweep series depends on what you're trying to set up. Sending him to block the backside EMLOS defender accomplished three things:

1) Keeps him out of the way of the toss;
2) Sets up quick Choice pass to backside WR; and
3) That quick pass sets up a great Waggle away from the Sweep.

Running him on a modified Belly path to the Sweep side, OTOH, sets up a great series:

1) Rocket Belly - call when ILB's are flowing with the Rocket motion and vacating the middle;
2) Rocket Belly Sweep - will cause the defense to split its attention between the sweeper out wide and the FB inside; and
3) Rocket Belly Option (Keep) - the sweeper becomes the pitch man, but you will never pitch the ball -- half the defenders are looking for the Belly, the other half are out near the sidelines looking for the Rocket Sweep. You end up with a C gap the size of Omaha...

All it takes to time up the Rocket Belly action is a lateral step to playside by the FB before he heads forward.

Coach: See if this description helps. The motion back should be right behind the FB when the ball is snapped. He travels laterally (not backwards) 5 yards behind the LOS and gathers the ball in outside of where the TE lines up. The toss goes in front of the FB...

The Rocket Belly Sweep forms a perfect complement to the Rocket Sweep by sending the F back to the same side as the back in Rocket motion, adding to misdirection possibilities and forcing the defense to make split-second decisions about where the ball is going -- the quick toss threat removes the luxury of leisurely reads for the defense.

The F back steps laterally and hesitates a split-second for the ball to be tossed in front of him before faking a hand-off from the QB and attacking over the playside Guard. If he fakes well enough, he should at least draw the interest of one or more interior defenders, and may in fact be tackled.
