Multiple Motion Offense - The Play-Action Passing Game

Play-action has been a central part of the Seminole Ridge High School offense since Matt Dickmann started the program, and it works because the run game forces a defense to commit. This session covers the detail and proper execution of the play-action passing game inside the multiple motion offense: how jet and rocket motion sets up the fake, what the protection has to do, and the routes that attack a defense pulled toward the run.
