Free release, late rotation, and no pass rush, add to that a good design of attacking the seams in deep 3rd's equals a big play. #spreadoffense

Leak Route - Shallow and Up





Here's a 'leak' route, which involves a shallow crosser converting to a vertical (up) route when they cross the field. Tough route to cover as the receiver usually gets lost in the secondary. Requires good pass protection as it is long developing. #spreadoffense

Mesh Concept - Creating Rubs

Slot Inside Release Vertical vs Man Free (Cover 1)





The slot attacks the slot corners leverage on the snap to get the desired (inside) release. QB looks off the FS just enough to open the inside vertical seam to field. Know your leverage, know your help.

Gap Exchange - Tackle For Loss





The defense does a nice job on the gap exchange (chase and replace) versus the read QB keep. The LB stays tight the the DE's hip, not allowing any cut back by the QB, who reads the DE squeezing on the RB and pulls the ball. #spreadoffense

Zone Flash (Flanker Away) Soft Pitch





Zone 'Flash' (Flanker away) off soft pitch jet. It's a pre-determined give based on the DE tendency to read the OT for his gap responsibility (squeeze), which allows for the edge quickly and a lead blocker.

Hank Concept - Curl, Curl, Flat





The 'Hank' concept, in west coast offense lingo is a spacing concept in the pass game that stresses the defense horizontally. This video is out of a quads or 4x1 formation, but can also be run out of trips, or twins with a back out of the backfield. Good zone coverage better, especially to field with more space available. #spreadoffense

Gap Exchange - QB Dart Bash





The defense has a nice scheme here to stop the QB Dart (Tackle Wrap) Bash play. The gap exchange has the DE taking the QB and the Linebacker taking the RB. Unfortunately, the LB misses the initial tackle on 4th and 2. #spreadoffense

Front Side Snatch Read - Closed TE





The Seahawks and Russell Wilson love attacking the defense to the closed TE (3 surface) with front side dive 'snatch' read. It usually turns into a 2 on 2 game and if the defense doesn't fit it right it's off to the races on the cut back.

RPO vs. Man Coverage





Here's a good RPO when faced with man coverage. 11 Personnel, the H back and X run a rub concept to the boundary combined with inside zone run. QB reads pre-snap box numbers and determines hand off or throw.

Frontside Dive RPO - 12 Personnel





Michigan QB Shea Patterson gets a good read here on the front side dive RPO throw out of 12 personnel. His movement key (#42 overhang) stays flat footed allowing the glance window to open for a nice gain.

RB Swing Lead out of Pistol Formation





Good design here on the Pistol Trio Swing H-lead, effective vs. man coverage with the natural rub on the double under routes, gets a playmaker in space on the perimeter.

Speed Out vs. Cover 3





Pitch and catch on the 12 yard speed out vs. Cover 3. The play design causes a little natural pick on the flat defender by the reduced receiver.

QB Long Trap vs Cover 0





Nice design here by the offense, the defense is in Cover 0 (Man to man and no high safety) and the Middle Backer is responsible for the RB in pass. He disregards the pulling Guard to pick up the RB and the QB long trap breaks for a big gain. #spreadoffense
