![]() I do not know if this is really the case as I only came across the specific difference once. Some say that both use Jet Motion but the Fly Sweep is almost more of a zone type of run play with the runner having the option to run up field before he gets to the edge….essentially an outsize zone run using Jet motion. It appears that many coaches think it’s the same thing. I was curious what the difference between a Fly Sweep and Jet Sweep is. We ran mostly a straight forward Pro Style Power Run offense. He wasn’t at Sacred Heart back then (almost 25 or so years ago) and he wasn’t coaching the Fly Sweep. Jim Harbaugh learned the Fly Sweep from my high school coach Pete Lavorato. I suspect we’ll see a lot more of the Jet Sweep if the 49ers key offensive playmakers are able to stay fairly healthy in 2019, knock on wood! Maybe Kyle could have used the Jet Sweep more prominently despite these injuries, but it’s not hard to understand why he may have felt it wasn’t playing to the strength of his remaining healthy personnel.Īnd before anyone poo poo’s the notion that key injuries are a good excuse, take a look at the LA Rams offense before and after they lost slot receiver Cooper Kupp, and then tell me how one injury, let alone multiple key injuries (#1 QB, #1 & #2 RB, #1 & #2 WR, etc), don’t effect the plays you call, or the way you game plan from week to week. That left Kyle limited options – a rookie, Dante Pettis, who himself had suffered a knee injury week 4 VS the Chargers, and George Kittle, a Tight End. Two weeks later, VS the Cardinals, Breida injured his ankle (and as if things couldn’t get any worse, his replacement, Raheem Mostert, fumbled the football, turning it over on his very first carry after replacing Breida), and this injury became chronic and slowed him down throughout most of the rest of the season. ![]() Unfortunately for him, a hyperextended knee suffered during week 3 which, BTW, he initially thought was a season ending injury, was only the second worse injury he would deal with this past season. ![]() Last, but not necessarily least, Matt Breida would have been the best available candidate left to utilize the Jet Sweep. It took Goodwin 5 weeks to fully recover from this injury, though he never seemed to click with either CJB or Mullens, before his season bottomed out with his tragic personal family loss in November. Unfortunately, Goodwin suffered a very painful deep tissue injury to his quadriceps muscle group, during opening week VS the Vikings. On the bright side, Kyle still had the speedster, Marquise Goodwin, who would have likely been a strong – second best candidate to get the ball into his hands on the Jet Sweep. Since the day we signed him, we’ve been game planning for Minnesota,” Shanahan said, via the San Francisco Chronicle, “so I’m not going to lie, it changes things pretty drastically.” Jerick was, as Kyle put it, “our first target in free agency, so once you do it, you have a plan on how to use him, especially going into week one. He’s everything Shanahan wanted in a running back, short of Saquon Barkley, Devonta Freeman, or perhaps a few others. McKinnon is fast, he’s shifty, and he can also run the ball up the gut. Aside from losing Garoppolo, no injury was more devastating to Kyle’s offense than losing Jerick, especially when you also consider the timing of th injury.
