Speed Option Pass Offensive Play
Aug 02, 2024This is one of the easiest option plays to run and you can install this immediately.
If the quarterback is a little more advanced and can throw the ball, you can run this play.
The quarterback runs the QB sweep play to the right but watches the corner on that side. He has both hands on the ball with his eyes downfield like he is going to pass.
If the cornerback comes up to make the tackle, he throws it over top to the wide receiver flying downfield.
If the cornerback turns around and chases the receiver, the quarterback can run up field with the ball. The defense is always wrong.
You want the right side of the offensive line to block in and the tight end on that side to clear out the defensive end or outside linebacker.
Sometimes we have the quarterback run downfield with both nads on the ball holding the ball up high by his shoulder to still look like he is going to make a pass.
When the safety or linebacker come up to make a tackle he can pump fake them away.
He can keep doing this almost all the way downfield. Defenders are not very smart, and they have no idea what all the rules are. Just try it.
Notice the wide receivers on the left side look like they are running a bubble screen again. This can be used right after the Bubble Screen and the quarterback can shout, “Same play, same play” once he is at the line of scrimmage. He should also motion his hands toward the wide receivers to remind the defense what the last play was. Give the defense time to recall the last play was a bubble screen to that side.
We have completed a ton of passes to wide open receivers using this. Almost any player can catch if they are that wide open.
We use this play to set up the next play.
