BOB protection stands for BIG ON BIG (just in case someone did not know) and is designed to keep an easy rule for your offensive linemen in regards to their blocking asignments in a straight dropback protection scheme. The BOB principle is built off the 3, 5, and 7 step protections. The BOB scheme is truley designed to push the pocket and keep it cupped for a quarterback to step up in when throwing the ball. BOB protection as explained in my manuals is built off the 1/2 man advantage rule which teaches the proper footwork used by your O-linemen. Guards and Center are responsible for the depth of the pocket and your tackles for the width of the pocket. Guards and center should be aggressive with their pass sets for the 5 step game and the tackles learning the kick slide to push the width. Would like to discuss this further for those coaches and players interested. Coach CAmpbell
