Quick, Drop Back, & Screen Pass from Flexbone

Coaches don’t decide to run FLEXBONE because they want to throw the ball.

BUT the opportunities to throw the ball are never greater than in this offense:

• Pass defenders in run/pass conflict.
• Run-stopping defensive fronts with no pass rush.
• Simple coverage schemes
• lots of 1 v 1 coverage.
• crowded boxes with very little stunting

ARE YOU OK WITH….

1. Some Flex-bone coaches who have won some big games without “attempting” a pass.
2. Some Flex-bone coaches who have won some big games without “completing” a pass.
3. Many Flex-bone coaches have won a big game because they were able to throw the football when needed to.
4. Unfortunately, some Flex-bone coaches have lost a big game because they couldn’t throw the ball

Would you like to throw when you WANT to rather than when you MUST?

• A successful passing game has “quality” over “quantity”. We like to throw when we WANT to much more than when MUST.

5-TIME LOUISIANA STATE CHAMP SCOTT DIETERICH will show you….

PROTECTON – nothing else matters until we can soundly protect.

• Protection is expensive and routes & actions are cheap –
• Learn two protections
• BOB-MAN PROTECTION

EASY QB reads & progressions

• throw from all the normal run flex formations.
• Not Feast or Famine – we believe in a short and intermediate passing game as well “shot” plays.
• Complement the passing game with draws, screens, and shovels

PRACTICE TIME?
Cannot take up the majority or even half of practice time due to the demands of an option-based run game,
but you will need to practice the passing game…..so OFF SEASON & SUMMER are big for this.
