Film Study: LaFleur's Playbook - Dagger

Last week we talked about Spacing, a quick-hitting concept designed to pick up 5-7 yards.So what do we do this week? Why, we go back to pushing the ball down the field, of course. Welcome to the Dagger concept.

Dagger itself is a two-man concept; a vertical push from the slot receiver and a dig from the outside receiver. In this case, that action takes place on the left side of the formation. The idea is have the slot receiver draw the attention of the safety then have the dig work behind it, in the space created from that push.
