The quarterback progressions are achieved through reading passing lanes. The quarterback will simply look to his first progression, and if the lane to deliver the ball is clear, he will deliver it. If not, he will move on to the next read. If the progression does not produce an open receiver he can tuck it and run or he can throw the football away. The receivers are coached to settle against zones and never stop moving versus man to man. A receiver's job versus zone is to find a hole, and the easiest way to do this is to try to make eye contact with the quarterback, he will automatically move to the open area in order to see the quarterback easier. it is as simple as looking through a window. As stated before, versus man the receiver will never stop. It is his job to create and maintain seperation. We work on routes man to man versus defensive backs in various coverage techniques every day. They should never be covered one on one.

The pass protection is simple, as it is one scheme and one scheme only. Only the depths of the drops change for 3 step or 5 step. It will be discussed further under the pass protection section, but it is simply a big on big man area scheme, where the linemen will account for all down linemen and the weakside linebacker(s) and the back will check strongside to releasing on a pass route, except on 3 step where if he is not needed he will chip or help on any dangerous rusher or chip the defensive end.

Bootlegs will be heavily utilized, with an emphasis on the quarterback running the ball when it is there, thinking cutback. Also, screens are a huge part of the offense, with a large number of them being called every game. They are an excellent way to get skill players in space with your best blockers, your linemen, downfield on undersized defenders. Every screen has the potential to break. Plus they really limit what a defense is willing to do to you. They are a viable option on any and every down and distance.

While offenses in the NFL have hundreds of plays, countless formations, and all kinds of various gadgets, this offense, designed for the lower levels, focuses more on a specific set of plays and formations and practices them religiously. A lot of coaches make the mistake of just trying to scrimmage a lot, as in every day, and that sort of thing. We do not do this very often and if we do it is a short period. The key for football, especially this kind of passing offense, is to work on fundamentals. After stretching we break into positions and always start with some fast paced warm up drills such as bag leaps and things, and then go to drills that focus on techniques needed for positions. Quarterbacks work on drops and throws, receivers work on footwork and cuts and some catching, etc. We then organize periods of 1 on 1 routes with receivers and QBs vs defenders(Note: we like to, while the receivers are running their route, have a coach move around and at the QB causing him to move around slightly in the pocket and be ready to deliver the ball when the receiver is ready. he will always do his proper drop), linemen and RBs working on blocking fronts and working as a unit. (This does not have to be full speed.) We'll then switch up slightly and have linemen doing one on one run and pass blocking, and the techniques, while the QBs, RBs, TEs, and receivers work on pass versus air. In this drill, which has proven successful for many teams, we organize bags or garbage cans or whatever we have where zone defenders would be as a reference in various coverages. Receivers should not settle behind bags and quarterbacks should never try to drop one over them. We line up all our skill players with another group behind them. We line up all of our quarterbacks, at least 4 should be plenty, and a coach can fill in if needed for th eother. (Some plays have 4 reads, some have two seperate progressions of one through 5, so it varies). One quarterback calls the cadence, and they all drop. One quarterback will hit the first read after his drop. Another will look at the first read, then hit the second. The next will Look at the first two reads, then hit the second. Eventually the last one will go through the entire progression and hit the last receiver. Then the next group fo receivers step up, and the quarterbacks rotate and slide over. It is a great way to work on all the plays in a disciplined environment, you can go through all the plays from various formations very quickly in a short 15 or 20 minute period. Plus, most importantly, all the quarterbacks are learning their progressions and working on them in an organized format. Since we read passing lanes, andb let the progression work for us, this drill is perfect for what we do. Our quarterbacks have improved immensley on learning to find and know where all their receivers are since we started doing this. Plus, it ensures that our quarterbacks are making all the throws and getting used to it. Finally, and this was unexpected, it actually kind of simulates a pocket in that it is kind of crowded back there for the quarterbacks.

The run game is very simple, just exactly what is needed to get by, and the quarterback runs are always there if you have the quarterback to do it.

Finally, the no-huddle aspect, which I will discuss further, is what sets the offense apart. While it has been en vogue recently, it is still very effective and likely the future of football. It allows you to practice more plays in practice and to outcondition your opponent. Plus, you get to see what the defense is in before you call a play. Rarely are you ever in a bad play. Moreover, if you are protecting a lead, you can always slow down the pace.

The last thing I'll mention is that in our "Doubles" formation, which is two receivers to either side, the same two will always go to the same side and the back will go depending on what play is signalled in. In "Trips" the base alignment is away from the three wide receivers, but he can also change depending on the play. Most 5 step drop passes require him to be on the left, but if needed in pass protection he can go to the right or depending on a certain run.
