A new series we’ll put out each Sunday morning to help get you – not that you needed it – into a football mindset. A basic Football 101 series that will look at a concept or scheme with the intention of making you a smarter football fan.
We’ll begin with the Dart play, a run block that can be identified by the backside tackle (BST) pulling across the line to the playside and acting as a lead blocker. I chose this concept specifically because it’s one I’ve seen the Cincinnati Bengals use. We’ll highlight that shortly.
