Flow Screen Philos ophy

FLOW
Screen Concept
The Flow Screen is a big play tool that gives us a chance to rip off big chunks of yardage when defenses overreact! They are known as Flow Screens because we work hard to create defensive flow in one direction by creating the look of a particular play (run, pass, screen, or bootleg), then throwing back behind a wall of blockers in the opposite direction! The goal is to SEPARATE the frontside of the defense from the backsideMOVE as many defenders in one direction as possible, then SEAL them off with our receiver and Center, then SEPARATE them with our guards kick-out block, giving our screener a lane to run through! We can literally screen to any eligible receiver we have, and we can bring him from anywhere as long as he gets to the 4 x 4 screen spot. We can also give our flow screens different looks by marrying them to different run and pass actions, making them good compliments to our best plays! Situationally, Flow Screens can be used on all down & distances, all the way through the Red Zone!

KEYS to a successful play:

QB SELLS the play with eyes, tempo, and patience, moving FS LB, safety, & BSLB! SCREENER does what needs to be done to get lost! Low pad level! SCREENER doesnt pop out until his blockers do, presses his guards block! TACKLE does a great sell job opening the window and makes necessary adjustments to protect it! FRONTSIDE LINEMEN eliminate penetration & buy QB time to sell the play! BACKS & RECEIVERS FS/Not in play SELL the play being faked in every detail! PULLING G & C take convincing sets, allow penetration, and run full-speed courses to the HALFWAY RENDEZVOUS with their EYES! OUTSIDE RECEIVER seals the alley with a great, well-timed CRACK block!

FS T: OPEN THE WINDOW. You do this by retreating in your demeanor as fast as you can, showing hands, selling Hinge, avoiding engagement as long as your man will rush upfield. Keep inside leverage as you do this. If he stops or crosses your face, redirect off your outside foot and drive him into the pile! YOU ARE THE GUY THAT MAKES THIS PLAY GO! FS Inside: SEAM. Get out of Dodge. FS Outside: LEVELS CRACK. Crack the first short defender inside you. Work 9 technique to 1st LB to safety level. Push upfield as long and as deep as the alignment of the potential crack victims allow. THIS IS A CRITICAL BLOCK. Time it and dont engage too soon! Push upfield until at your mans depth, cross face v. a man CB.

Screen Man: Hide yourself in the traffic of the frontside linemen by keeping your pads low, and time it so that youre arriving in the window at a spot 4 yards deep, 4 yards outside the tackle, just as the linemen begin pulling. Turn and show numbers to QB as you arrive at the spot, being careful not to drift to the sideline. Catch the ball, tuck it, and turn to find the kick-out kickblock of the G. The running lane should occur in a crease between the kick out block of the G and the crack block of the WR. Get North and South, get the sideline if possible.

R: Fake the play call of the 1st number. If no one else is indicated, you become the Screen Man, follow Screen man rules after your initial faking. If someone else is the Screener, help build a solid wall on the backside of the screen by executing normal 60-70 protection responsibilities. 60QB: SELL the play indicated by the 1st number by your eyes and your body language. Sell should last 5 steps under center, 3 from Gun. After the sell, set your feet distinctly, then drift for depth, get up on toes, find an open window to the screener. screener. Throw through an open window, avoid throwing over people. Snap your wrist to make the ball come down on the screener. window , - C L I C K H E R E T O R E T U R N T O D I R E C T O R Y -
