Again read the question dumbass...
You should have paid attention in school dummy.
The irony
Let me REALLY dumb it down for you...could the US be hit by a jet strike...NO MENTION OF A MAJOR CITY OR MAJOR TARGET..
YES THE US COULD BE HIT BY A JET STRIKE IS THE ANSWER.
All your bullshiting and moving of goal posts in the world doesn't change that.
You were wrong about the nearest airbase You were wrong assuming an important target was required You were too cowardly to admit you were wrong like a typical Amerifag You TRIED to change the question from what it actually was
if the US mainland was involved in a serious war it'd likely be strategic long-range missile strikes considering that's what Russia and China have based their strategic forces around. if the US somehow 'loses' the nuclear exchange (I doubt this will happen, a major nuclear exchange will destroy the military-industrial base of everyone involved) airstrikes would be possible but in that scenario who knows
no jet strike just jet sweeps USA! USA! USA! The Jet Sweep: Everything You Need to Know
Posted by Alex Kirby on January 31, 2022
We asked coaches three questions about the jet sweep:
How do you coach up the exchange/mesh? Do you hand it off, do you read it, do you toss it forward to make it a forward pass? What are you looking at on defense to make decisions about whether to call the jet sweep or a complementary plays? What are your favorite plays to complement the motion and protect the jet sweep?
But first, let’s cover the basics.
(If you already know a little bit about the jet sweep, feel free to skip this part) What is a Jet Sweep in Football?
The jet sweep is a play where a receiver or running back comes in motion and takes the handoff from the quarterback as quickly as possible. The play is timed up so that the exchange between the quarterback and the man running the jet sweep happens as quickly as possible so that the defense does not have time to react.
[3-4] 3-472c-86d6-ef79cadaba01_480x480.png?v=1643670929" alt=""> The play can be run from out of the gun, or under center, and has been used in many old AND new offensive schemes, from the single wing, the wing-t offense, and also many of the modern college spread offenses that dominate the game today.
See the diagram and video in the next sections for an idea of what it looks like:

Many coaches use the play not just to get the ball to the edge in a hurry, but because of all the other things that it allows an offense to run. If a defense sees the jet motion and overreacts to try to stop it, there are lots of other plays they can run that look very similar and take advantage of a defense that gets too aggressive.
This allows an offense to make decisions about attacking an opponent in the same way they would if they were a heavy option team. You have several plays from the same pre-snap look that force a defense to play extremely disciplined and not overreact to motion or to the threat of an inside hand off. Just like many option teams do not run true triple option with a pitch the majority of the time, most offenses with a jet sweep package do not hand the ball off on a jet sweep most of the time. Still, it is the threat of all that speed getting to the perimeter that keeps defensive coordinators up at night, and opens up everything else for the offense.
If you are an “if-then” thinker as a play caller, but you don’t like the idea of your QB taking unnecessary hits on option plays, the jet sweep series may be a way you can incorporate the same ideas into your game plan.
Keep reading to learn more about the specifics of the jet sweep, how coaches like to teach it, and what other plays they use to keep the defense honest. Part 1 - How to run the Jet Sweep
The first question we asked was about the specifics of handing the ball off on the jet sweep:
Q: How do you coach up the exchange/mesh? Do you hand it off, do you read it, do you toss it forward to make it a forward pass?
Here’s what the coaches had to say: Rod Staullbamer:
We hand it off, no read, no pass. We time out the motion so the jet sweep player is over the tackle at the snap and our QB simply catches the snap, extends the ball straight out and it's up to the sweep back to "mesh" with the QB with his path.
After the hand-off the jet player loses ground for 2 steps in case there is a hard charge from the DE and he has to get around the trash." Sean Little - OC Ballard HS - Louisville, KY:
We are blessed with some truly fast guys on the outside and we try to find ways to get the ball in their hands other than passing the ball to them. The jet sweep has been an easy and quick way for us to do this and be efficient.
Usually before we install Jet, we have already installed "stretch" with our backs. This makes it very simple for us to install Jet as it only adds motion and slightly different exchange. Overall, we try to keep the blocking scheme the same and simple for our big guys and perimeter blockers.
We coach up the mesh as a normal handoff exchange initially, however, we will work the forward toss exchange as well.... looking for best timing and ultimately what our QB and Jet Back are most comfortable with. Some years we may handoff, some years we may toss... just depends on personnel and how they handle it. John Settle - Head Coach Sunnyvale HS - Sunnyvale, TX:
“We do not over coach it. We work on the timing with all of our Rec and we take the handoff just like we do any other handoff. I do understand the value in the touch pass but we just don't over coach it. It is on the QB to make the exchange work.”
Cody Rainey - North Murray HS (GA)
At North Murray we have done it several ways. Obviously we want to run the jet with our most explosive player, and also use that same player as a decoy for play action and counter runs.
We want our slot coming full speed in motion and we look to snap the ball when he gets to the tackle, to give the quarterback time to seat the ball and work the exchange. We have used both the handoff and toss method and I think it really doesn’t matter which one you choose as far as the run, however I do think handing it off gives you a better chance to fake for play action.
Cameron Cox:
We have done it a variety of ways. It’s always been a very good play for us. I prefer to hand it off. If you have to worry about fumbling the ball on a base play, so you want to pitch it so it will be ruled an incompletion...then you probably shouldn’t be running it anyway. The very best way I like to run it is from under center, and faking inside zone opposite of the Jet.
Ryan Almon:
I use this as a Pop Pass. easy way to get pass/receiving yards and if dropped it is an incomplete pass. The easiest way I cue this is for the QB to pop the ball onto a table and let the WR/RB take it. It should should have some slight hang time and be in the direct path of the player running the jet. After completion the RB/WR should slightly bubble to get outside of an DE/DT who might get up field and then follow the blocks of the offensive tackle and RB, 1 cut and get vertical. The OL is blocking zone to the jet, with the PST pulling for the Corner and the WR cracking blocking one man inside.
Robin Bowkett
We generally like the snap to happen as the jet sweep runner gets to the near tackle. He aims for 1/2yd in front of the qb. We read this on both our jet sweep and jet power read play so we ride and hand off or pull. We do not toss it forward for a pass. It is on the qb to time up the mesh as we want jet sweeper to be at full speed by the snap. Alex Bettag - HC Southport HS - Indianapolis, IN
Toss forward to make it a pass. We have not had a read in the past, but I am looking at running this from under center as well to make it and IZ - Jet Sweep read based on numbers.
If under center, the jet man need to aim for 1 yd. behind the QB to give him room to make the hand off. Reverse out. Justin Taylor
We used to use the term "Fly" but now we use the term "Jett" with 2 tt’s because my sons name is Jett.
#1 Option is to hand it off. Must work mesh full speed several times per week. Snap ball when Runner is right outside tackle and adjust per speed of athlete. Key coaching point is the runner must be in a dead sprint to keep timing smooth. We hand it off or fake, Pre called. If faking, the runner(faker in this case) should be 1 yard in front of the QB and when he passes he should turn his back to the defense and grab his hip away from LOS to simulate a handoff.
