Quick Passing Basics

Complete Quick package consists of 3 patterns
1) Hitch 2) Slant 3) Fade
Patterns are always mirrored on both sides of the ball.
Taught as a complete pattern not just individual
routes. All players must be able to run all routes within
the pattern and know their routes purpose.
No primary receiver all receivers are to run complete
routes and expect the ball every play.

QBs pre-snap read will dictate the side hell be throwing to.
QBs key is always one defensive player with only 2
options -- he does this - I do that.
Several formations, motioning and adjustment tags give
the illusion of complexity to the defense.
For a side that has only one receiver in tight, well apply a
Common Sense Rule: If #1 is in tight, an outside route
doesnt make sense. Run a route to occupy the middle of
the field.

#1 - Hitch route wide split - 5 steps, snap back and
expect the ball now (note: #1s route will always be the patterns name
(e.g. hitch, slant, or fade))

#2 Seam route angle to outside shoulder of the OLB,

slip inside him, throttle down, turn shoulders to QB and
expect the ball now (note: #2 will run the route designed to get #1 open)
#3 Open route get open anywhere beyond 7 yards
and to the inside (note: on all patterns #3 will run an Open unless tagged)
