4. Quick Passing Basics • Complete Quick package consists of 3 patterns – 1) Hitch 2) Slant 3) Fade • Patterns are always mirrored on both sides of the ball. • Taught as a complete pattern – not just individual routes. All players must be able to run all routes within the pattern and know their route’s purpose. • No primary receiver – all receivers are to run complete routes and expect the ball every play. Replay

5. Quick Passing Basics Replay

6. Quick Passing Basics • QB’s pre-snap read will dictate the side he’ll be throwing to. • QB’s ‘key’ is always one defensive player with only 2 options -- “he does this - I do that”. • Several formations, motioning and adjustment ‘tags’ give the illusion of complexity to the defense. • For a side that has only one receiver in tight, we’ll apply a Common Sense Rule: If #1 is in tight, an outside route doesn’t ‘make sense’. Run a route to occupy the middle of the field. Replay

8. Quick Passing Basics • Individual routes within each pattern are assigned based on where you are aligned within the formation. #1 #1 #2 #3 #3 #2 T G G T C • Receivers are numbered from the outside-in: - #1, #2 or #3 on both sides. • Note: many of our formations will not have a #2 or #3 receiver on both sides.

9. Hitch Replay

10. Hitch #1 - Hitch route – wide split - 5 steps, snap back and expect the ball now (note: #1’s route will always be the pattern’s ‘name’ (e.g. hitch, slant, or fade)) #2 – Seam route – angle to outside shoulder of the OLB, slip inside him, throttle down, turn shoulders to QB and expect the ball now (note: #2 will run the route designed to get #1 open) #3 – Open route – get ‘open’ anywhere beyond 7 yardsandto the inside (note: on all patterns #3 will run an Open unless tagged) T G G T C #1 Q #1 Replay #2 #3 #2 #3 could have been shown on the left

11. Hitch Replay

12. Hitch • QB’s pre-snap read: he’ll choose the side with the ‘softest’ Cornerback, being sure a LB is not in his passing lane. • At the snap the QB will look at his ‘key’, the flat defender, and throw opposite his coverage = QB key K S C C B B B K #1 T G G T C Q #1 Replay #3 #2
