SINGLE BACK OFFENSE OUT OF THE PASS BALANCE PB

These are jus a few plays that i have diagnosed and should help those who are having passing problems and or looking for different plays.

*keep in mind that i use the steelers and jags so my offense is left sided oriented because of the fast wr on that side.

1) SINGLE BACK- NORMAL- TE CORNER

good design but can be stopped if your not confident pre-snap audible the right wr to do a drag route u can motion him if u detect a blitz coming...check the left wr for man coverage if they are in man coverage then that out route will be open if u are on the right hash mark...if not there then check the rb on the angle route which i will tell u is almost 100% there for atleast 3 ta 4 yards...checkin the rb gives u a good oppurtunity for looking for the TE on that flag route...

now the trick of a big gain is if u have time or have to escape out the pocket yo your left that drag will occupy the mlb and that deep post by your slot will take the safety so the rb on that angle route will be there for 15 to 20 if not further or hit the short drag for a few yards but make sure its not to late otherwise if they are in cover 3 that other lb or corner will pick it off.

this play is designed for RB or the left wr for a quick 10 gain and a first down off the out route.

2) SINGLE BACK- NORMAL- SLOT CROSS

PRETTY MUCH UNSTOPPAVBLE CHECK FOR THE BLITZ GO TO THE LFAT IF BLITZED..IF U CAN SCRAMBLE TO THE LEFT LOOK FOR THAT SLOT WR HE WILL LEAVE THE COVERAGE THAT S ON EM IF NOT A PLITZ U MUST HIT HIM IN BETWWEN THE ZONE AFTER THE RIGHT SIDE WR TAKES THAT CORNER...this is a cover 3 killer...since the the rb escapes to the right and there is a never ending post route with the left wr that might be open in cover 3 definately in man and cover 2...now in cover 3 dont panic even if u scramble the the left watch for the rb up the sideline caus that left wr will take that corner/ safety away and that is a open area in that over 3 if it isnt flipped and a 99% chance it wont be...hitting the rb deep on that ill give u 1 0n 1 with the safety/ corner and give u a chance to bust a move and possibly score. last thing watch for the TE late late release he either curls or goes up the field.

3) SINGLE BACK- NORMAL- DUAL DRAG

Seriously 1 of my favorite plays and will give yo opponent fits...the name explains it all the 2 outside wr are doin drags and the left wr starts off in motion BUT your first read should be the slot wr...if he is open which is a cover 2 or 3 then throw the ball to him down and to the right or left to make em stop for the ball jus before the mlb can get there for atleast 10 every play...if in man check down to either drag i like the left wr dragging to the right or if blitzed the rb leaks to the left...the trick is in a zone blitz u will probably have to wait for the drag on the left to come to the right but hit him in the middle of the field so he can cut it up and your last read is the TE doin the flag route...this play is automatic 3-5 if u jus go to the drags but u will move the chains on every 3 and shorts...STAY IN THE POCKET ON THIS 1.

4) SINGLE BACK- NORMAL- FLANKER SHAKE

this is a very difficult play to run but if ran right it is a work of art...seriously...this play is all about timing..if blitzed your safety valve is the TE drag right...now besides that your first read is the safteties and mlb...now if they spread apart look for the right wr out route if in man or cover 3 then hit that for a 10 yrder..i typically look ther only if i need a 1st the real art of this play is that slot...if your slot takes the mlb and the safeties spread then that shake route will be there and depending on where the safet is u can lead that route or make em stop for it...if he stops he is more likely to drop it if he is right immediately but its a timming thing...more timing on the cover 3 because of the middle safety...if the mlb doesnt go with the slot then hit the slot right in between the other 2 safties...in man this is a killer the slot is 100% open...now u have a choice to block the rb is u feel good with the TE as your safety valve or he does a flat hitch that can be used if u get flushed to the left or jus wanna check it down...i usually let him do wat he does caus if the play breaks down he can move around for u.

WELL THATS ALL U GET FOR RIGHT NOW GOTTA GO BACK TA CLASS BUT TRY THESE OUT SEE IF THEY WORK FOR U....THE KEY TO THESE PLAYS IS DETERMINING WAT ROUTE WILL BE OPEN AT THE PRE-SNAP READ I KNO I HAVENT COVERED ALL THE COVERAGES BUT EACH PLAY HAS A SAFETY VALVE FOR BLITZES AND A MEDIUM ROUTE AND A LONG GAINER SO BE PATIENT AND STAY IN THE POCKET.

This right here is gold. I personally used every single one of these plays in the run-n-gun playbook. A great running play out of this formation is hb plunge. the hb lines up offset and it is usually a 5-7 yard gain if ran correctly.

THESE PLAYS ARE OUT OF THE SINGLE BACK PASS BALANCE PLAYBOOK AND ARE ZONE COVERAGE PLAYS...BE CLEAR IN MY OFFENSE I HAVE THE FASTEST WR ON THE LEFT SIDE AND I DONT HAVE A NUMBER 1 WR..THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE IF U DONT HAVE A #1 WR UR OPPONENT CANT WR SPOT LIGHT U AND IT GIVES THEM FITS CAUS THEY MUST WATCH EVERYONE SINGLE BACK - BIG- TE CROSS the most important thing to remember in this play is patience...these routes are long so u need time in the pocket...pay attention to which TE will get open because they cross. the left wr does a streak. the right wr does a deep post your first read is the middle lb which ever way he slides to cover a TE u throw to the opposite...your second read then is SS...if he comes down its cover 3 and immediately go the the TE goin to the left side because the streak take that corner with him...if he spread its cover 2 go to the deep post There is no safety valve on this play so the if there is pressure jus throw it deep and try and make a play on the ball SINGLE BACK - BIG - OPTION this is another play that may take awhile to develope but when playin a person with heavy zone u should have time... the rouetes to look are the hb option route out of backfield underneath crossing route rgt TE post and audible the left TE to do a out route and left wr a fade some of the most effective routes wen someone is playing zone is the hb hitch route out of backfield so look for that first specially on 3 and 2 3 even 4...look for the rgt TE to do a post in cover 2 even 3 the out route by the lft TE take away the backer for the rgt wr drag this play is designed for 3rd and short first down pick ups so any blitz will open this play up even more SINGLE BACK -NORMAL - FL POST IN this is an excellent play for timing even for a scramble..audible the left wr to do a fade...a key for this play is try and do it while u are on the left hash mark. the right wr does a post the slot does a deep IN bout 12 to 15 yrds and the TE does a drag your first read in this play is the FS...he he goes to the rgt it is cover 3 (unless they flip cover 3 usually doesnt happen) hit the IN right as he makes his cut...dont put any english on it caus it might force a throw behind him and get picked if the safeties spead its cover 2 hit the post by the right wr...next would be the TE drag left... as u look for that peak up to see if the right wr has inside position and see if u can sneak that ball in there over the SS before the FS gets there (ive done it a few times) the safety valves for this play is hb who flares left...he is offset which is y i do this play on the left hash to give him space if he needs to get the ball...the second safety valve if there is no blitz but the pocket breaks down is jus go to the TE drag left to get rid of the ball for 2 yrds and prevent a sack. SINGLE BACK - NORMAL - TE CORNER now this play is almost unstoppable...the hb does an angle routes which is the primary route in this play...audible the rgt wr to do a drag route to take away the MLB and open up the angle route..check the left wr to see if its man or zone this play has an +80% success rate because no matter wat coverage that angle route by the rb will be there jus a matter of timing and in some cases a lil patience...the right wr drage takes away the mlb so wen u throw the ball to the rb throw it as soon as he makes his cut with no english on it and it is usually an automatic 6 yrds period...break 1 tackle wether it be the FS down on cover 3 or the OLB and u have a big gain...in man coverage it may take some patience caus the backer is always late and could pic it off if throwin early no need for a safety valve because the play is quick and is designed to go to the back but if for some reason u cant jus hit the wr drag and try another play SINGLE BACK - NORMAL - SLOT CROSS another unstoppable playi mane the lft wr doing a never ending post route. rgt wr doin a streak. slot doin crossing route underneath the safeties over the backers. there is free rain with this play u can audible the TE to either block or do a out route or keep his delayed route k now the trick is to hit the slot in between the zone...dont hesitate...if u have time u will see the openings for the slot crossing route in either over 2 or 3...cover 3 is a dream caus the deep post will be there automatice in cover 4 hit jus hit the rb out of backfield flaring left or streak of the right wr...a hidden pleasure of this play is the fact that the back will go up the sideline wen he get to it so uf u want do it on the left hash...it can be done on any side of the field tho...in cover 3 if u are uncomfortable look for the rb short of the corner playing safety and over backer or corner in the flats...the other coverage will be too far to stop it...(caution: do not drift too far right caus the angle for the throw ill allow the backer in yellow coverage to come get the ball wen thrown to the rb)...also in cover 4 go to the back early for 4 yrds if blitzed go to the back early SINGLE BACK - NORMAL - DUAL DRAG probably my favorite play to run caus it is a work of art. left wr in motion he does a drag. right wr does a drag hence, dual drag haha. TE does a flag or corner route. slot does 10 IN...another short yardage play good for redzone and potentially good 15 yard gains. now in cover 3 or cover 2 the flats will be covered so when the left wr clears the backer throw it to him with up english it make him clear the corner in cover 2 and in cover 3 that is where the curl would be...also while u are looking at the drag take a look at your TE which is your first read caus he can beat that SS to the corner if u throw it right...a new feature i have found about this play is the backside IN route...line shift your O-line to the right and as u roll the defense will role leaving a gap there for the IN...i use this play inside the 10 because the IN route goes along the back of the endzone and is usually unseen your saftey valve are those drag routes..your ok if u get flushed left and right and in a man blitz check the corner route by the TE... this is a bang bang play so u should kno where u wanna go from your presnap read SINGLE BACK - SLOT STRONG - Z OPTION the original route of the rgt wr is doing hitch but i audible to do a fade to take the corner away and for 1 on 1 coverage the slot does a deep post the TE does a banana out and the rb is put in motion rgt and is doing a dangerous slant across the field to the left the lft wr has an option route and is a backside route but usually is not in the play...this play is recognizable so u should only run it maybe 3x a game caus the motion is a dead giveaway. this is a cover 2 killer and for cover 3 everyone 1 0n 1 coverage the fade the post so u dont have to worry bout safety help...the primary route is the rb slant..if u want u can audible the o line to slide right...the rb route goes accross all the LB zones and the SS on cover 3 gets taken away a lil because of the slot post so he should go with the post to create that window...this usually works very well u can throw the ball short for more seperation if u would like...great first down play and dont forget to check backside if u have to because the rb can can create some games if u dont slide the protection of the o line. the safety valve for this play is the banana route...just a lil flip wen blitzed and u get yards...now wen u do this play and nothing is there check the TE he should be jus standing there waiting for the ball if u have to scramble *AIGHT FELLAS THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF MY PLAY THAT I RUN OUT OF THE PASS BALANCE PB THAT ARE VERY EFFECTIVE WEN PLAYIN SOMEONE THAT PLAYS HEAVY ON THE ZONE...NOTICE I DID NOT MENTION MAN COVERAGE REALLY THAT IS BECAUSE MAN COVERAGE IS VERY VERY SIMPLE THEY EITHER HAVE POSITION AND SEPERATION OR THEY DONT...MORE IS COMING SOON IM TIRED OF TYPING SO GOOD LUCK AND LET ME KNO IF U ARE HAVING TROUBLES MAYBE WE CAN LAB IT UP
