Pass Protection
The system has the capacity to protect with anything from a 5-man protection scheme – sending 5 receivers into the pattern – to an 8-man maximum protection scheme.
The base protection is a 6-man scheme that sends 4 – 5 receivers out on every pass play. We do this without having to use any
sight adjusted hot routes - where the receiver is required to read the blitz and change his route.
![Page 3: Pass Protection in Them](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5465d0a5b4af9f8a738b4bca/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

In the event that there is a seventh rusher that we cannot account for, the QB will throw to one of the built-in hot routes.
Due to the lack of defenders in coverage downfield, there is an excellent chance of gaining big yardage after the catch.

Man or Zone Protection
The system can use either; depending on the linemen’s athletic abilities and the preference of the line coach.
The philosophy will remain the same. Send 4 – 5 receivers out every pass play,
and be able to block 6 rushers every play. We will pass protect with an aggressive
style much like “quick protection” on all our protections.
![Page 5: Pass Protection in Them](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5465d0a5b4af9f8a738b4bca/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Using a Six-man Pass Protection Scheme Keeping One Back in This protection can be used with a man
or zone scheme. The back directly behind the center will
block opposite the center (vs. even fronts) or bock opposite the double reading guard (vs. odd fronts).
We will call the other back into the pattern.
The center (or QB) will make a “call” at the L.O.S. to tell the back and the line which direction to block.

Man Protection
A lineman, a back, or in some cases both a lineman and a back must be able to double read linebackers.
The guards and the center must have very good feet in order to double read linebackers then block the appropriate defender.

Using a Five to Six-man Pass Protection Scheme Sending Both Backs Into the Pattern This protection can be used with a
man or zone scheme. We use a “King” or “Queen” call to
send one back out on a free release while the remaining back “check releases” into the pass pattern.
![Page 33: Pass Protection in Them](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051322/5465d0a5b4af9f8a738b4bca/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

release into the pattern as an outlet for the quarterback.

Keeping Both Backs and the Tight End in to Pass Protect This protection primarily used in a man
pass protection scheme. We use a “Stay” call to tell both the
backs to stay in and pass protect. We will sometimes use this if we are
facing a “man” defense and we want to anchor the backers to keep them out of the throwing lanes.
We can make the “Stay” call in the play-call or the QB has the option to call “Stay” at the L.O.S.

Releasing All Five Receivers Into the Pattern With No Protection Responsibilities This protection primarily used in a man
pass protection scheme. The quarterback is responsible for
throwing hot if a six rusher comes. The hot routes are built into the pattern.
We use this when we really want to stretch the defense horizontally or when we use an “empty” backfield.
