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:

IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: IDENTIFYING DEFENSES: COVERAGECOVERAGESTEP 1: COVERAGE “FAMILIES”STEP 1: COVERAGE “FAMILIES”

Coverages are grouped in ‘families’ according to the number of defensive backs they have in areas of DEEP responsibility (8 yds or deeper) in between or just outside the hashes.

By understanding the Coverage Family (0 Safety, 1 Safety, or 2 Safety), you already know a great deal about the defense’s overall philosophy, numbers against the run, and ability to blitz.

Against two-safety defenses, you can often anticipate the behavior of safeties and, as a result, other players in the coverage, by looking at the safeties’ depth and relationship to the hash.

Generally, hash safeties are either defending a QUARTERS of the field, a HALVES of the field, or are SUPPORT players who will become quarters or man players once they read pass.

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.

““ACCURATE THROWS CREATE ACCURATE THROWS CREATE RRUN UN AAFTER FTER CCATCH YARDS” (50% rule) ATCH YARDS” (50% rule)

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 shoulderIf 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.

QBS 2006QBS 2006MainMenuRouteDir

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.

Structure #1: “Solo Flight with Help”Structure #1: “Solo Flight with Help”

Idea: Win a 1-on-1 matchup on one side, bring help toward it in the form of Spacing

or some kind of stationary routes from the other side

Thought process: Pre-snap look at potential threats to 1-on-1;

is generally a Progression (often across the board) starting with the 1-on-1 matchup

Routes that are Solo Flights:91-191 Spacing, 66-76

‘Double move’ routes (Utah, Horn), Fake Screens (Up, Replace)

Structure #2: “High-Low on the Edge”Structure #2: “High-Low on the Edge”

Idea:Put CB in a bind by putting a receiver in front of him and a receiver behind him,

bringing an outlet from the backside toward the route, usually in the form of some kind of crossing pattern. These are generally movement throws – Sprint, Bootleg, etc.

Thought process: Versus 1 safety: Progression or Object receiver read, starting with the shorter, quicker route

Versus 2 safety: Key defender off CB’s feet

Routes that are High-Low on the Edge:62-72, 64-74;

Basic East-West, East-West ‘Whip,’ East-West ‘Sneak’

Structure #3: “Horizontal Stretch”Structure #3: “Horizontal Stretch”

Idea:Space two receivers out laterally at similar depths to create a 2-on-1 on an alley defender

Thought process: Usually works as a Progression, most often starting outside in or frontside to backside

Sometimes is an “Object receiver” read, beginning with the guy we don’t think the alley player will cover (91-191 Mirror, Floods)

Routes that are Horizontal Stretches:‘3’ routes (163-173 and all ‘Flood’ routes); 65-75; 91-191 ‘Mirror’, 92-192, 89-99

Structure #4: “Vertical Attack”Structure #4: “Vertical Attack”

Idea:Outnumber and/or beat safety coverage in the area between the hashes

with adjustable ‘Seam’ routes

Thought process: Pre-snap: Identify safety or safeties and location relative to the hash or rest of the field,

choose a ‘Primary’ SeamPost-snap: Look at safety, influence him where you want him to go, throw to ‘Primary’ if he stays; Hit

other Seam if he doesn’t do what you want; reset to outside receiver if you can’t get a clean look.

Routes that are part of the Vertical Attack:Any ‘7’ route: 90-190, 90-190 ‘Hole’, 90-190 ‘Slash’

Tagging Individual side to “Slant” tells you to read it as a Progression ACROSS THE BOARDACROSS THE BOARD

1. Progression is Slant to Spacing Sit to Mini Curl to Arrow

2. Can eliminate the Slant mentally pre-snap v. NO ACCESS, but look it off on 1st step regardless

3. Drop becomes 1 to the Slant, reset for depth to Sit/Mini Curl/Arrow

“MIRROR” gives you an Arrow and a Mini-Curl on each side (Also a FS Sit in “Hot” protection)

1. Pre-snap choose a side using the following priorities:

1. Softest CB (Don’t throw into a press CB of any kind – must check out)

2. WIDEST alley player (so we can influence him to the Arrow & hit the Mini)

3. FURTHEST Danger player (ILB)

2. Post-snap is basically the same as working a concept side:

1. 3 big (Rock & Hitch)

2. Object the Mini to the side you choose, try and Deke Alley player onto the Arrow

3. ‘Q’ is the same, GET OUT v. Blitz or Check Fire;

4. OUTLET is now MINI CURL away from the side you choose (MUST get EYES)

QBS 2006QBS 2006

*“BUSH” stands for (Backside) Back Up Sideline. It was made famous by Reggie Bush. It really stretches a defense horizontally, and builds in a HUGE man-to-man beater with the “Bush” route by the back.

*It puts you in across the board progression mode, starting with the “Bush” backside

*Unless we are in a “C” protection, you will be in a HOT situation! You would like to keep the Back Out! ‘R’ or ‘L’ the protection TO the Bush side to keep it on and get protected!

*The Outside receiver will Tight Split and run a Spot, will end up in the same place as a Mini-Curl

*The Back is going run a course through the heels of the Outside receiver, and react to the CB.

-If the CB stays high, he will hook up at about 1 yd depth where an Arrow would be

-If the CB runs with the Outside receiver, he will turn up the sideline!

-He is always your #1 read! SEE the CB as you start your progression!

-If CB turns, think 2-ball right on RB’s head; if he stays high, 1-ball triangle throw to RB

*If RB isn’t there, exhause your progression Spot to Sit to Mini to Arrow

*Drop is Rocker Hitch to Bush or Spot, 2nd Hitch to Sit – Mini, Quick Escape to Arrow

91-191 SPACING: “Grab” 91-191 SPACING: “Grab” tagtag

QBS 2006QBS 2006

*“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 91-191. ‘Grab’ man will run a Fire, as on his normal backside 90-190 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!

QBS 2006QBS 2006

*”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 Comeback2 safety: PROGRESSION Seam (Bending) to Comeback

*Throw is a 3-ball to Sluggo, 2-ball to Seam, 2-ball to Comeback on his body
