Rules for the 2 Man Scat

 The Ends always run the Scat

 The Wing back or Z runs the glance
 The backs flair
 If there is no wing and the formation is
balanced the QB will make a Right or
Left call. This tells which HB runs the
glance.
Scat Route
 The Scat route is a spacing route in which
the receiver finds the hole between the
linebackers approximately 6 to 7 yards
deep
 Punch & Pivot
Scat Technique
C Sit down between the linebacker
Catch and get vertical

B
Glance
 The glance route is just a skinny post run
by the outside receiver to the Tight End
side. The Wing or Z will nod on the
seventh step and run for the near post.
The glance will be run by the outside
receiver
Glance Technique

Skinny Post

The word switch tells the spit end and the outside reciever the switch assignments. This enables us to change
the routes of recievers , thus making sure the defense cannot sit on our routes.
2 Scat Route from Gun
 The FB will align to the side of the Flair
 Heels at the Toes of the Quarterback
3 Scat in the Wing-T
 3 Man Scat Rules
 Outside receiver to 3 Scat side runs the Scat
 The 2nd receiver to the 3-scat side runs the
corner route unless the play is tagged.
 The end away from the scat runs a combination
route. Corner/ glance :Basic/Corner :Pac/ Corner
 The running backs flair check
Justification of Rules
 We package all our plays. Each of our
packages must have 3 concepts for us to
assimilate a passing game package into
our Jet or Wing-T offense.
 Run in all formations
 Rules for receivers
 All purpose (can be run vs. any defense)

Tagging the 3 Scat Routes

 When we want to alter the route and give

the defense new conflicts we Tag the
Route. The Tag will affect either the 2nd
receiver on the 3 Scat side or the 2-
receiver side away from the Scat.
Basic
 The first alteration of the route is the basic
 The word basic tells the 2nd receiver to the 3-
receiver side to run a square in route or what we
call a dig instead of the corner route.
 The receiver will release inside and run vertical
for 10 yards.
 He will plant and run inside finding the hole
“HUNT” between the linebackers
X receiver
 The split end or X receiver must change his
route to give the pattern space.
 He will run a Q route.
 The X will run inside for 3 steps to attract the will
linebacker.
 After the 3 steps inside the receiver will get
vertical for 12 yards then nod inside then break
to the flag.
 The running back will flare

 We can even get into empty sets and run 2 & 3
man Scats. This really complements our running
game because we can run the jet sweep out of
any formation.
 Empty jet sweep can be a devastating play if
you can keep the defense from crowding the
LOS.
 The 2 & 3 man Scat routes will force the defense
to honor the pass.
270 3 Scat Basic
PAC

 When the defense is sitting on the basic route we call

PAC.
 PAC means Post or Corner.
 We want the second receiver to run the Post or give him
the option of running the corner.
 The post cut in PAC is a double move. We want the
receiver to jab as if running the corner route then plant
and go to the post. If the defense makes a mistake on
the post you will have touchdown.
 Remember, the quarterback will look Post, Flair, Scat.

Tag Opposite the Scat Route
 Delta Tag- The name of our curl flat route is
called Delta.
 The X receiver away from the 3 Man Scat will
run the delta or deep post curl.
 Flair – On our regular curl route we run and
arrow with or halfback
 When we tag the Delta on the Scat route we
have the halfback run the flair instead of the
arrow.
