CONCEPTS OF HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL STRETCH PASSES


#1 HORIZONTAL STRETCH: HORIZONTALLY DIVIDE THE FIELD INTO 6 DISTINCT AREAS (NOTE: THE UNDERNEATH ZONES EXTEND UP TO 12 YDS DEEP)

FIELD BALANCE IS OBTAINED BY EQUALLY DISTRIBUTING 5 ELIGIBLE RECEIVERS ACROSS THE FIELD WITHIN 5 OF THESE 6 ZONES. WE WILL HOPEFULLY GET 3 RECEIVERS OUT CALLSIDE, AND 2 RECEIVERS OUT BACKSIDE. THIS SHOULD OPEN SOME “SEAMS”, “GAPS”, “VOID SPACES”, “WINDOWS” IN THE UNDERCOVERAGE – WHICH IS TRYING TO COVER 54 YDS HORIZONTALLY (OFTEN WITH ONLY 4 PEOPLE).
NOTE: CAN HORIZONTALLY STRETCH THE 2 OR 3 DEEP ZONES AS WELL.


#2 VERTICAL STRETCH: TO STRETCH THE FIELD VERTICALLY YOU NEED 3 RECEIVERS VS. THE 2 LEVELS OF DEFENDERS. ONE RECEIVER, USUALLY A WIDE RECEIVER, IS SENT AS DEEP AND AS FAST AS HE CAN POSSIBLY GET DEEP. ANOTHER RECEIVER HITS THE MIDDLE OF THE WIDEST AREA CREATED BY THE ONE DEEP RECEIVER DEEP AND THE ONE RECEIVER SHORT (THIS IS CALLED THE “ALLEY” OR “CREASE” IN THE DEFENSE). ANOTHER RECEIVER IS KEPT CLOSE TO THE LOS. THESE 3 MEN ARE DISTRIBUTED VERTICALLY IN ONE THIRD OF THE FIELD.
