About this video
Butler High School went 70-4 across five seasons and averaged 47 points per game, and the quick passing game is the piece of that offense that keeps the chains moving. Head coach Brian Hales breaks it into three working parts, quarterback play, receiver play and protection, then shows how pre-snap organization makes the throw easy long before the ball is snapped.
What you'll learn
- The components of the quick passing game: quarterback play, receiver play and protections
- Why pre-snap organization, identifying coverage and setting protection, drives everything else
- Quarterback drops from under center and from the shotgun
- Post-snap coverage reads and the delivery of the football
- Receiver play, including his own pre-snap organization and his release
- Pre-snap protection organization by the offensive line
- The protection responsibilities of the running back and the H-back
- Routes called with combinations and options based on alignment
- The route menu itself: hitch, speed out, slant, fade, comeback and zig, plus why combination routes, spacing and coverage-based options make the quick game work
Who it's for
High school offensive coordinators, quarterbacks coaches and receivers coaches who want a quick game taught as a system rather than a handful of plays. Nothing in it depends on elite arm talent.

Frequently asked questions
What does the quick passing game session cover?
It covers all three sides of the quick game: the quarterback's pre-snap read, drops from center and shotgun, post-snap coverage and delivery; the receiver's organization, release and route; and the protection rules for the line, the back and the H-back.
Which routes are taught?
Hitch, speed out, slant, fade, comeback and zig, called in combinations with built-in options based on alignment and coverage, plus the spacing rules that keep two routes from crowding the same defender.

Is this suited to a team without a big-armed quarterback?
That is the point of the package. The throws are short and rhythm-based, the reads are set before the snap, and Hales builds the protection so the quarterback gets the ball out on time.
