When you stretch the field horizontally, you will create natural running lanes for your running backs and give them space to adjust their path so that they can avoid penetrating defensive linemen. The extra gap will create will create natural running lanes and seams in the defense. You can utilize down and kick-out blocks as well. You can utilize double teams on disruptive defensive linemen. It will also give your offensive linemen several blocking options since you have an extra blocker to that side. Unbalanced formations will create an extra gap for the defense to account for.
We are an offense that utilizes unbalanced formations frequently. (See Also) The Wedge Play for Youth Football Unbalanced Formation Plays This will then open up off-tackle and outside attack plays. In addition, for a defense to stop the Wedge, they will need to commit defenders to stopping it. In my opinion, Wedge is a top 3 play for youth football. With that said, if you have a weak offensive line, the Wedge is a play that you need in your playbook. Wedge is a play we will always run, regardless of how good our O-line is. You will be able to get a lot of force generated even with small or weak offensive linemen. When you have 4-5 offensive linemen driving it will serve like a plow and just push everything off to the side (in this case defensive linemen!). The wedge generates a lot of force and can lead to a huge play. When we are facing a team with a NT, then we will wedge the nose.
This applies more so against double A-gap defender defenses. We will always wedge the center, we don’t wedge a particular defender. The Wedge is a play we love to run off of our Jet Sweep.

The Jet and Rocket Sweep will force the defense to stretch horizontally, which will open up the inside run game. Rocket Sweep will get your athletes the ball outside even faster. Much like Jet Sweep, you’ll only have to block 2-3 defenders to gain big time yardage. Rocket Sweep is a great play that will stretch the defense out horizontally. The Rocket pitch is something that the younger kids tend to struggle with. I won’t install Rocket with the younger kids because of the required outside pitch. Rocket Sweep is a play that I run when I coach kids 10 years and older.
