Creating an Effective Play-Action Passing Game
• Throw off best run actions.• Must work w/ OL to sell the run w/ low, aggressive sets.• Consider who is being affected by run action when designing
routes to be used w/ specific run actions.• Route depth and progression must coincide w/ run action and
depth of drop.• Understand what protections are gambles and have a plan.• Type of ball fake must coincide w/ timing of the route, who you
are trying to affect, and handoff technique.
Play-action QB Fundamentals
• Use hands, eyes, and feet to create flow of defenders.• Use same mechanics as corresponding running play.• Get contact w/ RB.• Set-up keeps + play-action passes w/ good fake after handoff.• Types of fakes:
- Empty hand fake (7-step drops and protected boots)
- 2-hand ball fake (5-step drops)
- 2-hand flash fake (3-step drops)
- 1-hand ball fake (Nakeds / increasingly using w/ other drops)
