Double Slot Option - Play Action Passing

You do not have to throw much in the double slot option offense, but you do have to throw enough to keep the secondary from cheating up on the run. Coach Rick Martin's answer is play-action passing that looks exactly like the option, and in this clinic session he shows how simple it is to throw the football out of the double slot option when every pass starts with an option fake.

What you'll learn

• Option pass protections that hold up while the backfield sells the option action.
• The Option Pass: the base play-action throw off the double slot option.
• The Bootleg play-action pass and how it attacks a secondary that is keying the option.
• Coach Martin's trick passing plays for the moments a defense has fully committed to the run.
• Why a limited passing game still matters in an option offense and when to call it.
• The full package put together on extensive game film.

Who it's for

High school offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches running the double slot option, flexbone or another triple-option system who need a passing game that complements the run rather than competing with it.
