Motion is first in the play call.
Tags or adjustments within the concept are directly after the play call.
If we want to take the R-Back out of the protection and hot release him, that indication is last.

ProtectionsProtections
• The first building block of our passing
game is protection. Great protection is
the most basic key to the success of our
pass offense.
![Page 29: The Spread Offense](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062312/553aa6035503466f348b45c0/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
ProtectionsProtections
• Our linemen must be know and be able to
execute our schemes, but even more, they
must maintain a fierce pride in protecting
the passer that says, “Nobody touches the
quarterback.”
![Page 30: The Spread Offense](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062312/553aa6035503466f348b45c0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ProtectionsProtections
• Our back must understand his role within
different protection schemes. He must get
himself to the right places, and be
physical enough to constantly handle
linebackers and defensive ends.
![Page 31: The Spread Offense](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062312/553aa6035503466f348b45c0/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
ProtectionsProtections
• Our receivers play a major role by identifying coverage and potential blitz situations, understanding when they must break off their route to sight adjustments (being the ‘Q’ receiver), and most importantly GET OPEN in the time required by each pass so that the linemen and back do not have to pass block for unnecessary periods of time.
![Page 32: The Spread Offense](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062312/553aa6035503466f348b45c0/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
ProtectionsProtections
• Our quarterback is the center of it all, and
he insures that we are a great protection
team through the right recognition and
communication. He must also get the ball
of on the correct timing, and throw the
ball away rather than taking foolish sacks.

behind him
