How To Run a Football On a Reverse Play

Hi, this is Sean Hobson, for Expert Village. What we want to talk about now is one way of getting your wide receivers involved in the action besides just catching the ball, but using them as running backs. We like to use our wide receivers, especially if they're fast and good runners, we can incorporate them into the running game. This first play is called an end around. The quarterback is going to drop back and fake the hand off which will make the defense bite up. Then, he'll hand off the ball to our wide receiver. The important thing is we don't want our wide receivers catching the ball and running with their shoulders to the side lines and trying to banana out around the defense. We want these guys to find a hole and turn their shoulders up the field and try to get as much positive yardage as they possibly can. It does us no good to hand off to our wide receivers and have them run out of bounds and lose two yards. We want them to get up field. The other way you can get your wide receivers involved is a play called the reverse. In this play we're actually going to give the ball to the running back and the running back is going to hand it off to the wide receiver. We want him to do the same thing by getting his shoulders up the field. The reverse looks like this (video demo). Our running back gives it to the wide receiver and our wide receiver will take it up the field looking to score. These are two good ways to get your wide receivers involved in the play.
