Starting from the middle, we see Travis Henry moving backwards to make or fake the handoff to the halfback mother, who can pop out a boy right on the spot, or make the turn up and have a girl. The halfback could have a girl behind the line of scrimmage, but only at a 10-yard and $1500/mo. illegal procedure penalty.

On the right we see two mothers stacked on the outside, coming across to the inside. They can take a pass from Travis, but note that both of these mothers intersect with the halfback route. Here you create the possibility for two mothers with a handoff or lateral from the halfback to one of the crossing receivers, or perhaps even three mothers, with a handoff to the blocking mother, who then laterals to the crossing receiver. On the left, we have one mother on a go route for the long bomb from either Travis or a halfback with a good arm.

Finally, Travis has a keeper option, shown in gray, which takes advantage of the blocking receiver and the directional shift to the left. This produces neither a boy nor a girl, but his legs and hands aren’t what they used to be, so this doesn’t get called very often.
