Emphasis on the
Quick Passing Game
We catch the defense cheating because of option
responsibilities
We arent going to run the ball into a seven man box
Our offensive concepts allow us to dissect the backend
more effectively
We become a dangerous
take what the defense gives us offense

Emphasis on the
Quick Passing Game
Difficult to disguise blitzes
Hard to pressure the quarterback the ball is thrown
so quickly
We find the right match-ups to attack
Pressure the defense by using motion

What are We Looking For

Structure of Secondary
One High/Two High (2 shell/3 shell)
Depth of Safeties
Position and eyes of Slot Defender

What are We Looking For

Position and eyes of Corners
Is any defender displaced?
Are they moving to cheat option
responsibilities?
Are they moving to cheat a route?

What we are looking for

Positioning of the Drop Defenders
Do they cheat to defend the Run or the Pass ?
Angles they give up via their alignment?

Play Action Passing

Ferris State University

1. Have a play action pass off each run that we use
2. Our run scheme and our pass protection need to look
the same.
3. Our play action must slow down the pass rush (we gave
up 5 sacks this year)
4. Must attack the weakness in the defense and find the
one-on-one matchup
5. Must keep the defense guessing
