I love jet motion. It’s my favorite offensive concept in football. If loving jet motion is wrong, I don’t give a damn about being right.
It’s simple in execution: A split receiver runs across the formation parallel to the offensive line and remains in motion at the snap. Yet, it can have wide-ranging impacts on a defense – opening up the possibility of confusion and miscommunications and creating stress horizontally. Elegant and simultaneously devastating.
Oklahoma Sooners coach Lincoln Riley made jet motion a staple of his team’s offensive game plan last week in a 62-28 stomping of the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
