Transcript QB Pre-Snap Reads

Roll Passing Concepts
Schemes, reads, footwork and
mechanics for success in roll passing
game.
Scheme
Our roll passes are intended to
attack one side of the field with
vertical and horizontally routes
that are used to attack and stress
playside the dog and corner.
Scheme
That Means:
• QB will drop toward one side of the formation
and reset over the playside offensive tackle.
• QB footwork ties in to the timing of the routes
and the reads.
• WR routes are flexible and meant to find
space and throwing lanes.
• Line protections will reach to the side of the
play.
Footwork / Coaching Points
• Shotgun
L
– 3 step roll + gather
– Focus on the “rhythm” of
the drop and the reads
“Big, Cross, Little”
“Gather”
“Active feet”
Shoulder ALWAYS
Perpendicular to the read

are key.

Pre-Snap Read
• Assess coverage.
– What is the safeties job?
– What is the corners job?
• How does this combination stress his responsibilities?
– What is the dog’s job?
• What throwing lanes might he take away? Where will the
space be?
• Blitzes?
– Think through where you will go with the ball if a
backer leaves an area.
• Don’t over think it. Attack.
Post-Snap Reads
• Progression Read
– Similar to the Rhythm passes.
• Low / High: Read the corner low to high then inside to
crossers.
• Outside / In: Read the Corner and Dog outside in and
then deep to crossers.
– For example: Curl (5 / 2 / 8)
• Read the 2 rt as he breaks to the sideline, if the corner
comes up or the dog is in good position, gather once
and move onto the 5 rt. If there is a lane to throw in,
do so, otherwise look to the 3rd receiver or the crossers
(backside routes).
Playside Routes
When a play is called (ex. Curl Rt), all the receivers on the playside
(ex. Rt) execute the numbers on the card (ex. 5 / 2 / 8)
5
2
Backside Routes
All receivers on the backside of the call (left in this example) carry
out the predetermined backside routes. Those are: 7c / 3c
7c
3c
Backside Routes
Deep
Middle
7 cross = A 7 route that cut across the field attempting to get into the deep middle
Backside Routes
Deep
Middle
Hole
7 cross = A 7 route that cut across the field attempting to get into the deep middle
3 cross = A 3 route that crosses the formation into the opposite hole
Post-Snap Reads
• Progression Read (cont.)
– These reads are set up to happen in a natural line
of site and are timed with the drop
• The QB should never be looking left, right, left or look
left throw right.
• Always right to left / left to right and high to low / low
to high or a combination of the two (See example on
next slide)
Progression Read Example:
4th
Read
3rd
Read
2nd
Read
1st
Read
Note: This route is both low
to high and right to left.
Plays
• There are three base plays in the Roll portion of
our offense.
• Roll Plays:
– Curl
– Smash
– Comeback
• Player Routes
– Similar to the quick plays, players are assigned routes
that change if they are the #1, #2, or #3 receiver.
– Backside routes are always 7c / 3c / 1d regardless of
the play called to the playside
