Coaching points
- Line up in Spread Back: a runner behind the quarterback, ready for the handoff.
- Every route at the same depth on every snap, so the QB can throw on time.
- No blocking: the receivers run their routes hard to pull defenders away from the runner.
- Run it to both sides: mirror it and it's two plays.
When to call it
Anywhere outside the no-run zones, especially after a few passes have pulled the defense back. Mirror it to attack the other side.
