In Adding the Fly Sweep to Any Pistol/Spread Play, Coach Michael W. Cooper details how coaches can effectively use the fly sweep to force the defense to defend the entire width of the football field, while simultaneously putting defenders in dual conflict.
Coach Cooper also explains why utilizing the fly sweep on any and all run plays can provide the offense with a significant advantage by getting defenders to flash their eyes and to run laterally.
The bottom line is employing the fly sweep to any pistol/spread play enables the offense to apply the pizza dough theory against its opponents (i.e., spread them out and start poking holes in them).
