Get you there when you’re supposed to be there: Along with that, each route has a specific TIME when you must be ready to throw! SPEED of the drop is critical! Get your body in a position to deliver the ball when the read tells you to

“PREPARED PLAYERS PLAY FAST.”
Main Menu QBS 2006 SIX SECOND RULE “PREPARED PLAYERS PLAY FAST.” *The most important :06 of any play are the moments AFTER the play has been called, but BEFORE the snap. The “Six Second rule” is a simple checklist that allows you to make the most of that time, allowing you to be prepared and play fast. Find the :25 clock Less than :12 – Take motion/shifts off Less than :10 – Take all checks off; call a play out immediately Less than :08 – Time out (in key situations, especially 3rd down) Find JACK – Need to know right now if you’re in Zero Safety mode! Right to left scan: Coverage Are they lined up right? (Uncovered receivers, etc.) Number of safeties Left to right: Front – are they lined up right? (2 uncovered OL, 1 & 9 tech, etc.) Pre-snap cues as dictated by play (find the 3 tech, Premium/non-premium, etc.)

IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: FRONTS
Front Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: FRONTS DEFENSIVE LINE “Techniques” When identifying the location individuals in the defensive front, we describe them in terms of the “technique” they’re playing. Understanding these locations, or “techniques” is critical because: *It provides a very strong clue as to what gap a man is responsible for, as well as the defenders around him *Often, it determines which way we’ll “check” a play to insure the best chances of success! “6” “4” “2” “0” “8” *Special note: Defenders aligned in a linebacker position have a “0” added as a second digit to their technique. For example, a linebacker aligned 4-5 yds deep over a guard would be called a “20” technique, or a “Deep 2” “9” “6i” “5” “4i” “3” “2i” “Shade” “0” Technique - Head up on the Center “4” Technique - Head up on a Tackle “0 Cheat” or “Shade” - Aligned on one of C’s shoulders “5” Technique - Outside shoulder of tackle “2i” Technique - Inside shoulder of Guard “6i” Technique - Inside shoulder of Tight End “2” Technique - Head up on a Guard “6” Technique - Head up on a Tight End “3” Technique - Outside shoulder of a Guard “9” Technique - Outside shoulder of a Tight End “4i” Technique - Inside shoulder of Tackle “8” Technique - Head up on a Wing player

Front Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: FRONTS DEFENSIVE “CORES” The next step in identifying defenses is to classify the front structure in terms of its “core.” The “core” refers to the how defenders are aligned within the “A” and “B” gaps. There are only 6 basic cores, as identified by the Center at the L.O.S., & they tell us a lot about how the rest of the defense is being played around it & how we want to block! They are named / IDed as follows: Cores with 1 DL V V V V V -Center has a down lineman on him (0 or Shade) -Either one or both of the guards does NOT have a DL on him. -TWO LB are in the core Core is “ODD” -Center has a down lineman on him (0 or Shade) -Either one or both of the guards does NOT have a DL on him. -ONE LB is in the core Core is “STACK” BASE DEFENSE FOR: X (Lou) CHANGE-UP FOR: Eastern, X (Cincy), Ballard, Seneca, Manual BASE DEFENSE FOR: Ballard, Eastern, X (Cincy) CHANGE-UP FOR: X (Lou), Seneca, Southen

IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: SLOT DEFENDERS
Coverage Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: SLOT DEFENDERS One of the areas in which we will see the most variety is the manner in which defenses align their Outside LB/Nickel Players related to our Slot or Slot receivers. These players will tell us much about: Checking run versus pass, 2. Uncovered checks (whether we are uncovered and which type to use), 3. Our screen game, and 4. Pressure / Protection checks. Because this information is vital to our being able to “control the field”, we need a great way to communicate all the things we can see very quickly. Our system of labelling the different alignments we see follows.

PASSING GAME: Types of Throws
Main Menu QBS 2006 PASSING GAME: Types of Throws 3 2 1 1 BALL: Thrown on a direct line to receiver; Used on short throws, medium throws with no one between you and target 2 BALL: Enough trajectory to get ball over goalpost (10’ apex), snap of wrist to bring it down on a receiver in front of people; Used on medium throws that you can’t get there on a straight line or deep/medium throws with safety help over top. 3 BALL: High, lofted pass, using lifted front shoulder & sometimes a javelin step; Used on deep balls with no safety help over top to allow receiver to run under it

PASSING GAME: Ball Placement
Main Menu QBS 2006 PASSING GAME: Ball Placement “ACCURATE THROWS CREATE RUN AFTER CATCH YARDS” (50% rule) On throws to a receiver who is facing us (Mini Curl, Sit, Orbit, Curl, Now, Hitch, etc.), we will maximize yards after catch by making “Triangle” throws. The “Triangle” refers to the three spots where a receiver can catch the ball without slowing down or locking up his hips: The right shoulder, the left shoulder, and his facemask. The best Triangle throws are those thrown ON THE SHOULDER AWAY FROM DEFENSIVE PRESSURE. If the nearest defender is outside, put the ball on the inside shoulder. If the nearest defender is inside, put the ball on the outside shoulder If a defender from behind is an IMMEDIATE THREAT to knock the ball away, we throw a “GUT SHOT” into the receiver’s stomach so that he can protect himself and give the defender no path to the ball.

‘RUN-PASS’ Calls QBS 2006 NOW – BINGO – GREEN/GOLD
R/P Menu Main Menu QBS 2006 ‘RUN-PASS’ Calls NOW – BINGO – GREEN/GOLD A ‘Run-Pass’ call is one in which we call both a run and a pass at the same time. All or some receivers will execute the route or pass indicated, the OL and backs will execute the run. NO VERBAL CHECK IS GIVEN. You simply decide, based on certain criteria, whether to hand it or throw it. Calls will sound like this: “24 NOW,” or “26 BINGO,” or “23 GREEN” 1. NOW means that your outside receivers are running “NOW” routes. If either side has a CB that allows you to throw it (7+ to bnd, 10 + to field), stand up and throw to that side. Otherwise, execute the run as called. NOW is always an under center throw. 2. BINGO gives backside receivers away from the run “BIG SLANTS (3 or 4 steps)”. If you have free access or limited access with an unusually wide alley LB that you think the Slant will get inside, throw the Bingo. Footwork for “Bingo” will be to execute the run 2 steps (extend early), anchor on the 3rd and throw. Otherwise, execute the run. BINGO is always under center as well. 3. GREEN/GOLD gives the frontside receivers “Green” (right) or “Gold” bubble screen responsibilities. If you have an uncovered situation to their side, throw Green/Gold off normal footwork. Otherwise, execute the run. We can do this under center or gun, but prefer it from gun.

ORGANIZING the PASSING GAME: PASS ‘STRUCTURES’
Struc Menu Route Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 ORGANIZING the PASSING GAME: PASS ‘STRUCTURES’ Every pass pattern we use is set up with a certain thought in mind, a certain way of attacking a defense and putting defenders in positions where they can’t cover everyone. These different ways of attacking are called “structures.” In other words, although different plays may use different routes to get guys to different places, many of them will have in common the same basic thought process, and are trying to do similar things to break the defense down…they have the same “Structure.” You will speed up your learning if you first understand the “structures” we use, and will be more organized in your thinking by associating certain plays with certain structures, rather than just memorizing everything. WITHIN A GIVEN ‘STRUCTURE’, your reads are very often the same. In other words, if one play that’s in a certain structure uses a “Progression,” it’s highly likely that most if not all the other plays in that structure do also. Again, this simplifies and organizes your thinking as you master all the things you have to know.

Route Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 SPACING: “Grab” tag *“Grab” takes Spacing with “Slant” to the next level by initially featuring your backside Inside receiver as the starting point for the across the board read. We want to use this “Grab” man on a Box Bend versus wide 2-safety looks or a Fire versus press man to win, and then exhaust the Spacing progression if he doesn’t. The backside outside receiver (‘Grab’ route) is being used to control underneath coverage to give your ‘Grab’ the best possible chance! *If you know pre-snap that your Grab can’t win, you can put the outside man back on an individual with a hand signal and work it as an across the board progression (Individual to Sit to Mini to Arrow) OR eliminate a side pre-snap like you would on basic ‘Grab’ man will run a Fire, as on his normal backside rules. *What would eliminate ‘Grab’ pre-snap and trigger you to signal an Individual? Remember that ‘Grab’ is for 2-safety looks with wide safeties or any kind of Press man (1 safety or 0 safety). So, if you are certain that you don’t have any of those looks, you would want to put the Individual back on. Looks that would make you do this include: 2-safety look with safeties hugging the hash/inside the Grab, 1 safety look with off CB, etc. *Protection will generally be HOT or CHECK. You would LIKE to keep it on and win big the Grab against Cover 0, so SINK the back if it all possible to get protected!

The key thing for you to remember is this: If anything ever goes wrong on the Bronco side (he runs a route you’re not expecting, etc.), you have 3 guys backside whom you must trust to work open!

If the Seam is zoned off or CB collapses hard on top of route, reset your feet to the shortest Comeback. Do NOT try to work back to the other Seam…he’s DEAD to you. J V V V V V V V V V V

Route Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 “BOX” Thought Process SCENARIO #2: Regular Box v. 2 safeties 1a. Pre-snap: See near safety’s relationship to Box…the wider, the better! 1b. Pre-snap: Have a sense of whether CB will give up ‘Pocket’ by coverage! Likely only in Cov 2! 2. Stare far saf onto opp. Seam as you catch/rock, snap eyes to Box on hitch, 2-ball on him if he wins… 3. If near safety jumps on Box’s back, must take a FAST picture of Comeback/Pocket & work it… 4. If Box is zoned off by LB underneath, same deal, though eliminate ‘Pocket’ from your thought J R V C V V V V V V V

Route Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 “BOX” Thought Process SCENARIO #3: “Hole” call v. 1 safety 1. Pre-snap: See Jack’s relationship to the Seam and the Hole 2. Idea is to stare J onto the Hole if at all possible, throw the Seam in rhythm 3. If J is overrotated pre-snap or really works to the Seam, 2-ball the Hole in the same rhythm. 4. If the Seam gets zoned off or jammed or CB collapses on top of your Seam, reset your feet to the shortest Comeback. Do NOT try to work back to the other Seam…he’s DEAD to you. J V V V V V V V V V

90-190 “SLASH” Thought Process
Route Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 “SLASH” Thought Process *”Slash” is a turbocharged version of ‘Box’ in that it creates a 5 vertical attack instead of 4 by widening the landmarks of the Seams (no Bend) to pry open the deep middle for the ‘Slash’. *We will be in a HOT protection! This is a version of Box that we want to STAY IN v. Blitz coverage! Sink your RB to get protected and keep it on! *Your reads don’t change much: 1 Safety – Exactly the same, work Jack safety Seam to Seam to Comeback as though Slash isn’t there 2 Safety – Stare safety opposite the Slash onto Seam, hit Slash in rhythm to Cbk/Pocket

90-190 “SLUGGO” Thought Process
Route Dir Main Menu QBS 2006 “SLUGGO” Thought Process *”Sluggo” gives us a way to protect with 7 within our ‘Vertical Attack’ structure by essentially doing two jobs (Comeback to win against the CB and Seam to move or hold a safety) with one route (the ‘Sluggo’ or ‘Slant & Go’) route. *It is also a great way to attack man coverage with a hard sell double move route in the Sluggo! *This is a GREAT thought against pressure looks as well as 1-safety defenses! There’s nothing wrong with it against two-safety looks as long as the safeties activate and have some width! *We will use this some as a ‘CAN’ play or a check against single high or pressure looks! *Pre-snap read is the same as Box, including safety alignment, and CB squat likelihood in 2 saf. *The DROP rhythm and throws are very similar to Box: Rocker (Pump to Slant as you hit your back foot), Hitch to Sluggo or Seam, 2nd Hitch to Comeback *Sluggo is read as a PROGRESSION. Where it starts depends on the number of safeties: 1 safety: PROGRESSION Sluggo (even he’s leavin’) to Seam to Comeback 2 safety: PROGRESSION Seam (Bending) to Comeback *Throw is a 3-ball to Sluggo, 2-ball to Seam, 2-ball to Comeback on his body

Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL”
Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” WHAT YOU MUST KNOW – GENERAL KNOWLEDGE What STARTS the clock and what STOPS the clock The difference between a CONTROL pass and a CHUNK pass How to know when to use each What CONTROL passes and CHUNK passes are available from each formation When to use a time-out When and how to use the “Clock” play

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” 1. CLOCK STOPPAGE STOPS THE CLOCK & WE CAN HUDDLE IF WE CHOOSE (Official: “Big X” with arms”) A. Official or players’ time out B. Player runs out of bounds C. Incomplete Pass D. Injury E. Change of possession B. STOPS, BUT WE WILL ALIGN ON L.O.S. (Official: “Small X” with arms - will re-start when ball is spotted for play) A. After a first down (chains move) B. Measurement C. Penalty C. WHAT STARTS THE CLOCK: A. Ball is snapped B. Referee indicates ball is ready for play after one of the above scenarios

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” 2. CONTROL v. CHUNK PASS “Control” passes are shorter throw when we are “ahead of the clock” (Distance to objective is less than the number of seconds on the clock) in a Red Ball situation. It is generally designed to get 5 to 8 yards, and, hopefully, out of bounds “Chunk” passes are designed to get, at minimum, a first down and get us back into being “ahead of the clock.” The routes may or may not get us out of bounds, but should stop the clock temporarily by achieving first down yardage Some passes have both “Control” and “Chunk” throws in them. If we are behind the clock and thus in a “Chunk” situation, you must throw the ball away if the “Chunk” part of the route isn’t open. In a “Control” situation, ahead of the clock you can read the route out as you normally would! Seconds to go > Yardage to our objective = CONTROL MODE Seconds to go < Yardage to our objective = CHUNK MODE

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” 3. WHEN TO USE TIME-OUTS 1. After a sack If we have two or three timeouts, any time in a series that the ball stays in bounds short of first down yardage To get field goal personnel onto the field Critical fourth down that requires discussion & conferring when we have no other options.

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” 4. WHEN and HOW TO USE THE “CLOCK” PLAY When we have no time-outs, it is 1st, 2nd, or 3rd down, and we need to get field goal personnel onto the field When we’re behind the clock, have no timeouts, and FIRST DOWN play fails to get out of bounds beyond the chains (we do not want to do it after a 2nd down play and create 4th down; we must not use it after a 3rd down play and spike it on 4th down! THAT’S IT! Outside of these scenarios, you should be managing the clock by having the play called, your team set, and ready to go as soon as the referee sets the ball ready for play! PROCEDURE: Call “Clock, Clock” as soon as the previous play ends, all receivers line up in easiest possible formation and get set QUICKLY, you double check to make sure everyone is set, hands under center with big stagger, secure snap, step back and SEE the ball hit the ground in front of you! Remind receivers NOT to release downfield!

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” WHAT YOU MUST KNOW – ON THE FIELD What is our OBJECTIVE? a. Must have TD b. Must have FG c. Want TD, must have FG d. Any points are a bonus How many TIME-OUTS do we have? Yardage needed for objective versus time remaining (in seconds)

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS ALL “Red Ball” is automatically shotgun and automatically on “SetHit” (no cadence)*. *May also use “Silent cadence” or “Center cadence” Because of coverages people play, you must be more aware of danger players and deep linebacker drops. Underneath coverage especially does not behave as it does in normal situations. CB are more likely to retreat. Safeties are less likely to bite on pump fakes. When we get a FIRST DOWN, IN BOUNDS, you MUST get the players aligned, set, the play called and ready BEFORE the official spots the ball. You MUST conserve clock by being able to say “SetHit” as soon as the whistle blows! Avoid sacks at all costs! Throw the ball away UNLESS it’s fourth down If we have one, we will ALWAYS take a time-out IMMEDIATELY after a sack!

Main Menu QBS 2006 Two Minute Offense: “RED BALL” PROCEDURE Previous Play Ends… Assess: In or out of bounds? 2. First down or not? 3. Updated time v. Yards to objective Immediately find coach, get signal (if not calling it your own), start calling “Red Ball, Red Ball” as you do to get team on the line As you move toward L.O.S., get Y and H aligned immediately (X & Z stay same side), call it 3 times to each side: “LEFT LEFT LEFT, LEFT LEFT, LEFT!” TE & H Left; ends up “Liz Flame” “RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT, RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT” TE & H right, ends up “Rip Firm” “BASE BASE BASE, BASE BASE BASE” TE right, H left, ends up “Base” As you get to LOS, signal route to WR on either side, get eye contact confirmation; Verbally tell OL the protection up & down the line (e.g., “60, 60, 60”, or “90, 90, 90”) Make a “Ready, Ready, Ready” call as a final check, also alerting Center that “SetHit” will come right after whistle. Everyone should be set, “SetHit” as soon as official blows the whistle.”
