What about Slants Flat out of this formation?
Feel free to mix that play in as well.
Holy crap that play is awesome. That’s the very definition of MONEY PLAY.
Having trouble having time in the pocket and floating it on cover 3 that cb is just always there
It does take some practice and you do need a QB with thp over 90
I just think my timing is off
In this playbook you really have to be able to read the d’s. What are you focusing on to uncover what D you up against. Is it the FS to see where his immediate drop is ? Take me/us through how you go about determining the coverage. Heck you might even want to make it part of the guide since it’s paramount knowing this for the plays to work.
We do have plans to make another “Reading the Defense” mini-ebook this year which should help.
Can these plays be flipped and work the same way?
Many of them can but not every single one.
This playbook is alright but it takes too much time in pocket. Running this book in Salary Cap MUT and you simply don’t have the time to chill in pocket like this. Not hating either, Im actually a fan of the work you guys do on this site. I loved the Denver book last season and the defenses you guys had but this book just wasn’t for me. Looking for some quicker hitters with a mediocre to short dink and dunk scheme.
any way you guys can set up some PDF Files for us to just print? this would be phenomenal!
never mind just saw the pdf files!!! you guys rock!!
