The BJ can certainly key on a back. If a wing or a flanker is positioned outside of the tight end on the strong side, they certainly key on a back. Also, the LJ may key on a back to his side if the BJ is keying on the widest end. For example, a balanced formation with two split ends and two slots. The BJ has the split end and the LJ has the slot.

Can you clarify what you mean? As I understand it, keys are for initial pass coverage only. Until the ball is snapped, you aren't using your keys anyways. Once the offense is set, I determine my keys, then continue with my progression. I look for FS's, shifts, and motion. If I have the motion man, how do I keep watching my keys?
