This week I want to specifically focus on an RPO concept that we have used the last couple of years that has had some success. That is our Stretch Chop screen RPO. Attached in the email that I sent out has the video of four clips of examples of how we have ran it in a game. The first 2 clips are out of 2 back and the second 2 clips are out of 1 back. No matter if it is 1 back or 2 back, we still use the behind motion for the guy who is running the chop (swing) screen.
We tell our QB’s, when making the decision to hand it or throw it, that if it is easy, take it. If the motion guy is able to out leverage the defender then there is a good chance that you can get some good yardage out of it. The stretch action going away from the where the chop screen is going gives you the opposite flow that is hard for the LB’s. The big key for them is, if it’s cloudy and you’re not sure, always hand it and live to play another down.
This play is great for your getting your best player the ball in space. Whether you start him in the backfield and send him in motion or keep him at his normal position and send him in behind motion, this can really be effective to get it to him quick and with some space. You can also think about making him the guy running the stretch part of the play. If you have an athletic running QB you could even do it out of empty and send any of the WR’s in behind motion and the QB would be the stretch runner if he did not throw it.
This can be an easy and effective way to pick up some good yardage. You can also consider giving it a one word name (one for each direction) that means the formation, motion, and play so that you can use it in your tempo packages.
I am interested to see if anyone has utilized this before and to see if anyone has any questions or comments about the action.
