Pas Pro
Run Blocking Rules:
If covered at the point of attack, block and
look to drive block and progress to
second level.
If uncovered, assist at first level as needed,
then release on to LBs.
If you are the backside tackle, release to
second level and cut weakside LB.
Inside routes are odd numbers and Outside route even numbers (WR/WB)
