Pass Protection Schemes (Spread Option) Dec 20, 2003 21:14:07 GMT

Looking for pass protection schemes.
I run a spread option offense with the base formation being a double slot. Even though our base formation is a double slot, I do like to run the spread option out of multiply formations (all one back formations).
What I am looking for is pass protection schemes for the 3 step, 5 step, sprint out, and play action.
Any rules and explantion of the schemes being used for the protection would be great.

Thanks

We run a double wing set and we zone block the passing plays. We release 4 into the pattern and have the FB step up and block the QB's back. On sprint out, we have a full reach scheme and the FB blocks the EMOL, or in our case since we see a ton of 4-4 he would key the invert if needed or help the tackle seal the corner.

Play action is blocked like the run with a hard first two steps and then pass set.

In a one back scheme with the sprint out game us a full reach but leave the offensive tackle on the defensive end with the remaining back stepping playside tracking the playside linebacker, if backer drops then running back will hinge backside to check for any pressure off the back edge. When going to a full reach in the sprint out game the QB will read the block of the tackle on whether or not he continues outside or pulls up inside the tackles block. The full reach scheme with tackle staying on the end looks like a run play all the way. Coach CAmpbell

We use a very similar scheme as the one Coach Campbell described above. The only variation is that we will exchange responsibilities between the playside tackle and the F back (in the one back set) when faced with a wide 5 technique. PT will reset and track playside LB'er and the F will attack and look to cut the wide 5. pdow

We also use a full reach scheme. Our rule is "One full man/Gap/Drop,shuffle and protect backside". We send both the back and tackle to the DE. If the tackle secures the block, the back turns back and looks for the run through. If the tackle doesn't have the DE secured, the back will attack the outside shoulder and secure the block. The tackle then can turn back to take care of the run through. Any LB run through, however, many times is taken care of by any lineman who ends up shuffling to the play looking backside. We really want our QB outside thus putting two on the edge.
