About this video
Coach Brad Scott describes the No Back Passing Game inside his Wildcat Spin offense, the part of the system that stretches a defense wide enough to make the run game go. His team threw nearly 60 fewer passes than it had before and still raised its yards per catch from 13 to 22. "By spreading out the defense with the No Back Passing Game we had to be covered by width and depth from sideline to sideline," he says.

Frequently asked questions
Which pass concepts are taught?
Five no-back plays - the Whip, Bend, Bubble, Hitch/Outs and Verts - complete with receiver routes, alignments, footwork, timing and protection rules against a four-man front playing Cover 3.
What kind of coach benefits most?
Coordinators at the high school and youth levels running no-back or Wildcat formations. Because the concepts are taught against a four-down Cover 3 look, they translate to most spread offenses, not only the Spin.
