The Tackle Dart play was really popular a few years ago. I’ve seen a lot of OC’s move away from it recently, but I still really like it if you have a mobile Tackle who can run the hoop. It’s almost like a hybrid between Power and Draw which makes it a perfect fit in pass heavy offenses.

The threat of perimeter screens really makes this play go. If you are able to pull the Nickel Sam out of the Box to the Trips side and occupy the SS you can have the numbers advantage on Dart. Because Dart hits Same-Side, the QB can easily read out and throw the Bubble Screen if the numbers look good on the perimeter. I like Dart away from the TE side so you can Cap the Backside C-Gap and give the play time to develop!
