How I coach the passing game.
These are the
routes I use.
Pop / Hitch / Slant / Post / Fade / Flag / Curl / Out-In /
Drag / Flat
XO Pointers:
1 Receiver takes 3 steps and looks
2 Don't stop running
3 QB 1 step and throw
4 Can be run by any receiver
-------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Only receivers, split out, can run these routes.
2 Receivers tuck ball in outside arm use other to stiff arm.
3 Always try to run this play outside away from pursuit.
4 This ball should be thrown low if anything making it hard to intercept.
--------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Slants have a steeper angle than a post.
2 Slants are assigned yardage. i.e.. 10 yard slant.
3 Slants are thrown off a 3 step drop.
4 Use these against zone coverage and aim between the zones.
5 Use these in man to man and run away from the coverage.
6 BO XO says: Gut check play. Free safeties love to see you coming. Do you
have the guts.
----------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Post can be run by any receiver.
2 Posts are run on yardage also. QB throws to a spot where the receiver
should be.
3 Post routes are thrown off a 5 step drop.
4 A receiver will not look until he is at least 10 yards up field.
5 The receiver should never stop running
6 Expect to get hammered by the free safety. This is a gut check for
receivers. Some may be too skittish to play receiver. BO XO says if they
can't run this route and keep their eye on the ball. Get me another
receiver who can. Even if he's slow.
---------------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Fades are similar routes to flags BUT Receivers look inside
and the QB throws from the pocket. Usually a 5 Step drop or off play
action.
2 Throw the fade like a jump ball to a tall player.
3 This is a great route for play action and is recommended by BO the XO
4 This is also the end zone corner pass you see all the time. QB just
throws the ball to the corner and the receiver make the play.
--------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Run the flag on sprint out's or roll out's.
2 Receiver looks outside for ball.
3 Run between zones and away from man coverage.
---------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Curl routes are run on yardage. 10 yard curl. 15 yard and 20 yard.
2 Run these as curl in or out. In the pic above these are ten yard inside
curls.
3 Run these routes and put pressure on the Linebackers to get deep in the
zone.
4 Run like your going deep then pull up and turn on a dime.
5 BO XO says: Try these with a slant from the other side going across the
zone.
---------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Run these on yardage and use any receiver.
2 In this drawing quick end is running a 7 yard in and the strong
end is running a 7 yard out while the flanker-wing is running a 12 yard
our.
3 These routes must be run with tight squares offs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Drag routes are run in a sneaky manner. Act like your blocking and then
run like crazy.
2 Use the play on sprint outs or roll outs away from receiver.
-------------------------------------------------------
XO Pointers:
1 Use these routes on sprint outs and roll outs.
2 Any back or end can run them.
