Installing and maintaining an explosive but simple passing game can be a tedious process if you’ve never done it before. For some coaches, the run game comes naturally. But, the passing concepts that we need to be successful can be a whole other story. Dub Maddox joins Kenny and Daniel to talk install, non-negotiables, and changing routes at the line.

What is a basic install?

• Compare talent to system
• Quick Game / RPO / Intermediate
• Boot / Sprint Out
• Power Pass
• Quick Game: RPO Stick/ Snag (phasing out)/ 
• Intermediate: 
  • Does your OL let you use it?
  • Beat the Coverages you are going to see
  • Arm Talent of QB/ Skill of WR’s
• Screen Game
• 4-5 concepts in the system, use 2-3 concepts per season

How do you teach your QB?

• QB School in Jan 2x week through spring ball
• Recognize defense
  • Fronts
  • Coverages
  • Blitzes
• Non-negotiables
  • Space
    • Capped vs Uncapped routes
  • Time
    • Footwork
    • Steps matched to routes
  • Talent
• Headset to Helmet
• Coverage Weaknesses
• Teach a language
  • Capology
• VR “Reps”

Do you teach Route Adjustments?

• Post-snap adjustments are off limits for most players
• Routes can flatten or go more vertical
