Quick Passing Basics Complete Quick package consists of 3 patterns – 1) Hitch 2) Slant 3) Fade Patterns are always mirrored on both sides of the ball. Taught as a complete pattern – not just individual routes. All players must be able to run all routes within the pattern and know their route’s purpose. No primary receiver – all receivers are to run complete routes and expect the ball every play. Replay

QB’s pre-snap read will dictate the side he’ll be throwing to. QB’s ‘key’ is always one defensive player with only 2 options -- “he does this - I do that”. Several formations, motioning and adjustment ‘tags’ give the illusion of complexity to the defense. For a side that has only one receiver in tight, we’ll apply a Common Sense Rule: If #1 is in tight, an outside route doesn’t ‘make sense’. Run a route to occupy the middle of the field.

Individual routes within each pattern are assigned based on where you are aligned within the formation. Quick Passing Basics Q C G T G T Receivers are numbered from the outside-in: - #1, #2 or #3 on both sides. Note: many of our formations will not have a #2 or #3 receiver on both sides . #1 #1 #2 #2 #3 #3 Replay

Hitch Q C G T G T #1 #2 #3 #1 #2 #1 - Hitch route – wide split - 5 steps, snap back and expect the ball now (note: #1’s route will always be the pattern’s ‘name’ (e.g. hitch, slant, or fade)) #2 – Seam route – angle to outside shoulder of the OLB, slip inside him, throttle down, turn shoulders to QB and expect the ball now (note: #2 will run the route designed to get #1 open) #3 – Open route – get ‘open’ anywhere beyond 7 yards and to the inside (note: on all patterns #3 will run an Open unless tagged) #3 could have been shown on the left Replay

Hitch Q C G T G T #1 #2 #3 QB’s pre-snap read: he’ll choose the side with the ‘softest’ Cornerback, being sure a LB is not in his passing lane. At the snap the QB will look at his ‘key’, the flat defender, and throw opposite his coverage B B K K = QB key C C S #1 B Replay

Hitch Q C G T G T #1 #2 #3 If the ‘key’ defender doesn’t fly out to the flat, we’ll throw to the Hitch B B K C S #1 B C K = QB key Replay

Hitch T Z X Q C G T G T Z F #1 #2 Example – 3 of 3 (using motion) B K C C S B K = QB key Y #1 With Z motioning to the 4 position, he becomes #2 and must run the Seam route QB sees the flat defender cover the Seam – throws the Hitch Common Sense Rule: If #1 is in tight(TE/ Wing), an outside route doesn’t ‘make sense’. Run a route to occupy the middle of the field. Replay Left Z4 Hitch

Slant Q C G T G T #1 #2 #3 #1 #2 #1 - Slant route – wide split - 3 steps, plant hard with outside foot, slant inside and expect the ball now #2 – Flat route – take 1 step and roll outside working for width not depth, expect the ball now #3 – Open route – get ‘open’ anywhere beyond 7 yards and to the inside #3 could have been shown on the left Replay

Slant Q C G T G T #1 #2 #3 QB’s pre-snap read: he’ll always choose the single side 1 st , if the throwing lane is open. When throwing to a multiple receiver side, the QB will look at his ‘key’, the flat defender, and throw opposite his coverage. B B K K = QB key C C S #1 B Lane NOT open Replay

Slant T Y X Q C G T G T Z F #1 #2 Example – 1 of 3 B B K C C S #1 B QB sees the Flat defender cover the Flat -- throws the Slant K = QB key Pre-snap – the QB picks right side because left side throwing lane is closed Lane NOT open Replay 12 Slant

Slant Z X Q C G T G T T F #1 #2 Example – 2 of 3 B B K C C S #1 B K = QB key Y #3 QB sees the key run out to the flat – throws the Slant Pre-snap – the QB picks left side because right side throwing lane is closed Lane NOT open Replay Left 3 Slant

Fade Q C G T G T #1 #2 #3 #1 #2 #1 - Fade route – tight split - 4 steps, then fade to 5 yards from the sideline and 20 yards deep #2 – Out route – take 4 steps and speed cut outside to a depth of 6 yards, expect the ball now #3 – Open route – get ‘open’ anywhere beyond 7 yards and to the inside #3 could have been shown on the right Replay

Fade Q C G T G T #1 #3 #1 #2 B C B SS B K = QB key K FS QB’s pre-snap read: we’ll typically throw to the multiple receiver side, unless scouting/matchups tells us different. The QB will look at his ‘key’, the Cornerback, and throw opposite his coverage. Replay

Fade Q C G T G T #1 #3 #1 #2 If the ‘key’ defender drops to the flat, we’ll throw the Fade over him in a hole about 18-22 yards deep. B B SS B FS K C K = QB key Replay
