    The downside is that you have to take your eyes off the defense at the snap so you can catch the ball. A lot of QBs don't like it for that reason.

    That's tactically dumb, right? Sideline is an "extra tackler". Shouldn't all sweeps be run toward the open side of the formation, if possible?

    Are teams doing this to try to surprise the D? Do Ds usually position themselves to deny the "open" side? What's going on here?
    good question, from a defender standpoint we always have"more" guys on the back side of the play (open side) or there should be anyways, the defense will slide to that side to prevent that huge back side run so, that's why you see teams try to run that sweep on the short side because it tends to catch the defense off guard but at the same time like you stated that sideline is an extra defender so often times a defense will be willing to give up 5yrds instead of 20 on the back side.

    To add to Jim's questions, thats why the zone blocking scheme is deadly when executed right because if the line executes a zone block on a say a sweep play on the short side of the field there are so many options that RB could use to gash that defense.

    I think the premise of this thread is to ask questions that actually have an answer.

    Question: Since no one on the field knows whether the play will be Run or Pass until that split-second when the QB makes the decision – how the hell do the O-linemen not get called for ineligible downfield, if the play turns out to be a pass? Does the O-line have to do only a certain kind of blocking for that play to work? Like, it has to be a zone-blocking run, where the OL's first step is sideways, rather than upfield into their assignment, just in case the ball is thrown?

    Or is the QB supposed to make the decision so fast, that it doesn't matter – the OL won't have time to get upfield and draw penalty?

    How does this work?
    Typically the passes are short, its normally a slant, a drag or a corner route in the Redzone. Additionally, the blocking scheme is typically devoid of combo blocks which are designed to get to the second level.

    If you have corners why not press them bring an extra defender and blow the back up on your way to the Qb?
