Key

• QB should know where ball is going prior to snap

• Built in audible system

• Marry route concepts so our QB always has a place to go

Route Concepts

Omaha (soft zone)

• PS # 1 – 4-6 YARD SPEED OUT– Receiver will break off inside foot at 4 yards

and roll over to 6 yards

• PS # 2 – SEAM– Needs to be alert for uncovered and quick

throw

Houston (soft zone)

• PS # 1 – 5 YARD HITCH– Receiver widens hitch route to 5 yards– Widening route makes it harder for underneath

coverage to get under route

Where are we going with our belly game now?

Zone and zone read

Zone

• We are running the belly zone to the TB off the speed sweep action

• We like to run the zone to the 3 technique

Rules – 83/87 zone & 33/37 zone

Problems

• Hard to block both inside linebackers in an 8 man front– Have to bring the wing back inside

• Cannot run the zone read under center– Too hard for QB to read 5 technique
