About this video
The Slip Screen is the perfect complement to a heavy run game, and Tom Green's Surrattsville High School offense proves it. The Clinton, Maryland program finished 10-2, reached the playoffs for the first time in school history and averaged 37 points a game while piling up more than 3,678 rushing yards. In this coaching video Coach Green teaches the Slip Screen from concept to checks, including how to block it against the coverages you actually see on Friday night.

Frequently asked questions
What is covered in this video?
One play, taught all the way through: the Slip Screen. Coach Green covers the concept, the pre-snap checks, line rules and responsibilities, and the blocking adjustments against man, Cover 2 and Cover 3, all shown with game film.
Is it only useful in the Spread Veer?
No. Surrattsville runs it off their veer run action, but the line rules and coverage-based blocking adjustments fit any offense that wants a screen to slow down an aggressive pass rush, at the youth or high school level.

Can it help a quarterback who is not a strong passer?
That is one of Coach Green's main points. The Slip Screen is a short, timing-based throw built off checks against a defensive alignment, so it produces positive plays even when the quarterback is not a polished thrower.
