“LOOK” PASS CONCEPT:

BEST RUN TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE FORMATION. COACH SENDS THE CALL IN:

EXAMPLE (A FEW OF MANY POSSIBILITIES):


”DOUBLE RIGHT/MOTION” (H MOTIONS OVER TO “TRIPS RIGHT”):

X--------------------O-O-C-O-O-Y
------------------H--------Q---------------------------Z

----------------------------R


“TRIPS RIGHT” (ALIGN IN “TRIPS RIGHT”):

X--------------------O-O-C-O-O-Y
----------------------------Q-----------H---------------Z

----------------------------R


CALLING THE PASS (WHICH WILL GO TO “X”):

1. COACH CALLS ANY RUN TO THE SIDE AWAY FROM “X” THAT DOES NOT HAVE PULLERS THAN MIGHT COLLIDE WITH QB.
2. COACH ADDS THE WORD “LOOK” TO THE PLAY (EXAMPLE: TRIPS RT/STRETCH RIGHT/”LOOK”). QB REPEATS IN THE HUDDLE.
3. QB DECIDES AT THE LOS IF HE WANTS TO THROW THE “LOOK” PASS TO “X” (CORNER GIVES “X” A HUGE CUSHION), OR RUN THE STRETCH RIGHT. NO ONE BUT THE QB & “X” NEED TO KNOW IF THE “LOOK” PASS IS COMING.
4. “X” WILL PIVOT OFF HIS OUTSIDE FOOT & MERELY TURN INSIDE & REMAIN STATIONARY WHILE SHOWING HIS NUMBER TO THE QB (HE DOES NOT MOVE UP OR BACK OFF THE LOS – JUST REMAIN IN PLACE). IF THE QB DOES NOT CHOOSE TO THROW THE “LOOK” PASS TO “X” – HE PROCEEDS WITH HIS BLOCKING ASSIGNMENT ON STRETCH RIGHT.
5. IF QB CHOOSES “LOOK” PASS – JUST TAKE 1 STEP AT “X” & THROW! IF NOT – EXECUTE STRETCH RIGHT.


INTERESTING CONCEPT: CALL “BUBBLE SCREEN RT/LOOK”:

Y--------------------O-O-C-O-O----------------------X
----------------------------Q-------------H------Z
----------------------------R

(CON’T FROM PREVIOUS PAGE)

NUMBERS PERMITTING – THROW THE “BUBBLE SCREEN RIGHT” (“H” MUST BE FLEXED AT LEAST 5 YDS OUTSIDE). IF THEY OVERPLAY THE BUBBLE SCREEN RIGHT AND HAVE A BIG CUSHION ON “Y” (A FAST WR LINED UP LEFT) – THROW THE “LOOK PASS LEFT”.




Charlie Weis said this about the "look pass"

1) Everyone should have this pass in.

2) It's not an audible - it's just a "look" between the QB and WR. He said you can use a signal, but that usually tips the play. It must be a look between both players.

When a run play is called and a corner is giving your receiver a huge cushion, just throw him the ball. The WR turns for the ball, the QB takes the ball (from under center only) and immediately gets the WR the ball in space. In the meantime, everyone else is running the play that was called - they don't need to know. He said this play is typically run to the single WR side of the formation.

Email me at: billmountjoy@yahoo.com and I'll send you a 3 page write up with diagrams on the subject. Too much to type on here!

OK!

Thanks for the compliment!

Mountjoy is one of the few left who gives back for free. He has done so much for me, stuff he is not aware of. We use his entire counter/power series in our hybrid wing offense. We are thinking about going to his passing stuff again this year as well. Thanks Coach Mountjoy. I know I have not told you enough, but thank you. I am putting a PPT on the passing game together for the hybrid wing. It is half done. I will send it for your eval if you do not mind seeing it. I think I have your email still?

Coach Nick,

Bill Mountjoy deserves all that is posted above and much more. He has just been apppointed to a post in a new organization headed up by Bill Bates, former all NFL pro.

The look pass is excellent answwer to your question.

My rule is always very simple, if the defender is 7 yds or more off, the receiver is to take a jab step forward to freeze the cover guy and than hitch back back to the QB, catch the ball and move forward!!!

If the situation arises where one or more receivers are uncovered for the 7 yd distance, both do the same thing and both had beter expect the ball as it is then up to the QB to take his pick.

Mitch - most of the clinics I speak at are in the mid-Atlantic region (from NJ in the North, to SC in the south). We have a 2 day clinic in Richmond, Va every summer.
