Now let's start from a sideline and explore some options here. #1 swings the disc over to #2...
And #2 notices that with a big pump fake, they were able to send their defender flying to the breakside, anticipating #3's cut.
In this spot, it's okay to deviate from our regular set since there's a big opportunity - pass the disc back to #1 (who "floated" upfield), and take the free goal.

Resetting...
Another common opportunity to deviate slightly from our set starts from the sideline. #1 just caught a swing from #2, who followed their pass upline.
#1 pumps off #2 on both the upline and the "seven" cut, and #3 comes back and catches the swing in the center of the field. Normally the first look would be to continue the movement to #4. However, #3 noticed before their cut that #2 was pretty far from their defender after the upline cut...
In this spot, #3 can choose to throw the skinny-break to #2 for a goal. It isn't how the system normally works, but it's a good place to deviate a little bit for a big payoff. It's important to remember that making these plays comes at a cost - if #2 doesn't score here, we've clogged the center of the field. If we do attempt this look, but decide to pump it because it's covered, we simply swing back to #1 on the sideline and restart the motion.
