Coaching Points:
- The play’s design is to throw a screen pass to the runningback. The inside receiver plus three offensive linemen pulling to the left will set up the blocking for the runningback.
- Watch to see where the safeties line up at. If they line up on the bunch side, then go ahead and look to throw to the runningback on the screen route. If the free safety lines up on the same side as where the screen is being run, consider audibling to another offensive play.
- The Spacing pass concept is run between the three receivers on the bunch side. Making this another option to run if zone coverage is called.
