AirRaid

Coach: Your answer might be sprintout passes. The QB gets to move away from pressure and if you have a couple of decent receivers and the QB can throw fairly well, you can get him on the perimeter of the defense. Then if no one is open, he can run. The O line blocking is pretty simple. Each lineman steps playside and locks on to any defender in the playside gap. He would drive this gap player parallel to the LOS, not allowing penetration. If no one showed in the gap, the linem,an hinges and faces backside. As he does so, he slides steps and gain some depth as he looks for anyone penetrating between his playside gap and the other end. His function is to get his hands on the nearest penetrating defender to protect the back of the QB. The best route we have used is a “flood” route. The wide receiver runs a streak route. The second receiver to the inside (either TE or second WR), runs a 10 and out. The lead back out of the backfield, runs a flat route. The other back must block the DE is allow the QB to get outside. There are other routes that can be used, a smash route combination, drags by the TE from the backside with 2 wide receivers on the playside, and so on. Let me know if you have additional questions.
