Base Pass Protection and Routes – Matt Mcleod

This session introduces the base passing game, focusing on protection schemes and their evolution through practical coaching experience. It covers 6-man protections, man-zone concepts, sprint-out, turn-back play action, and 3 step slide protections. The discussion emphasizes simplifying teaching for offensive linemen, marrying play-action with dropback protections, and reducing the number of reps needed by aligning schemes. Coaches will gain insight into practical adjustments that make protections more consistent and manageable across different situations
