Spread Wing-T · The Drop Back Passing Series

Rich Hargitt closes out the Spread Wing-T offense with the drop back passing game - 11 pass plays designed to attack multiple coverages while keeping the quarterback clean. The concepts come off the same 20 and 30 running series the offense already lives on, so the defense sees familiar action and then has to defend the vertical, angle, flood, flat and crosser patterns down the field.

What you'll learn

• Why the drop back passing series works inside a wing-T based spread offense
• Base action passes tied to the 20 and 30 running series
• Vertical concepts that force the defense to respect the deep threat
• Building a triangle read for the quarterback with the Angle combination
• High/low combination concepts and how to teach the read
• Specific pass plays for attacking multiple coverages
• Protection schemes that hold up behind the drop
• Roll out concepts and crossing routes
• How motion changes the picture before the throw

Who it's for

High school and college offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches who want explosive plays down the field without exposing the quarterback. Spread staffs outside the wing-T can lift the concepts straight into their own protections.
