Pass Protection The system has the capacity to protect

with anything from a 5-man protectionscheme sending 5 receivers into thepattern to an 8-man maximumprotection scheme.

The base protection is a 6-man schemethat sends 4 5 receivers out on everypass play. We do this without having to use any

sight adjusted hot routes - where thereceiver is required to read the blitz andchange his route.

1/09/09 3

In the event that there is a seventhrusher that we cannot account for,the QB will throw to one of thebuilt-in hot routes.

Due to the lack of defenders incoverage downfield, there is anexcellent chance of gaining bigyardage after the catch.

1/09/09 4

Man or ZoneProtection The system can use either; depending

on the linemens athletic abilities and thepreference of the line coach.

The philosophy will remain the same. Send 4 5 receivers out every pass play,

and be able to block 6 rushers everyplay.

We will pass protect with an aggressivestyle much like quick protection on allour protections.

1/09/09 5

Using a Six-manPass ProtectionScheme KeepingOne Back in This protection can be used with a man

or zone scheme. The back directly behind the center will

block opposite the center (vs. even fronts)or bock opposite the double readingguard (vs. odd fronts).

We will call the other back into thepattern.

The center (or QB) will make a call atthe L.O.S. to tell the back and the linewhich direction to block.

1/09/09 6

Man Protection A lineman, a back, or in some

cases both a lineman and a backmust be able to double readlinebackers.

The guards and the center musthave very good feet in order todouble read linebackers then blockthe appropriate defender.
