My mind can always come up with multitudes of plays and formations making it very difficult for me to keep things minimal. Off wildcat jet type plays, what seems to work best for inside runs? I can think of inside powers, trap, dive, counter to go along with a PA pass. However, I don't want to have an overabindance of complimentary plays. The jet was one of our better plays last season, but I didn't use it as part of a series. My base is more of a hybrid single wing.
Vince,
Probably the simplest play to install off of jet/rocket is FB or QB wedge. If the jet is a legit threat and you have withheld wedge often the interior defenders will start to move laterally which allows the wedge to penetrate and put the past the LOS. If the linebackers are playing the alley fast as well the wedge will go right into the secondary. As the game goes on this forces the interior defenders to hold and isolate the away from supporting the alley/perimeter much the same way trap does.
Now I love trap but I have found that most youth level Dlines are hard to trap because they often are not penetrating (due to poor scheme/technique/teaching). Most Dlines simply fire straight up and block the blockers making it hard to trap them. That doesn't mean trap is not usable but from my experience wedge is just a more worthwhile play below MS.
I follow a pretty simple rule though:
1). Wedge a reading/standing line
2). Trap a penetrating/aggressive line.
