QB Teaching – make sure

RPO Design QB keeps shoulders square

on read mesh = able to see
and throw both sides with

PSU Glance Concept balance! *when giving ball

to back – then Qb pivots to
seat ball in the belly

Receiver Techniques
#1 - The key to RPO design is to replace the conflict Defender
*(cannot account for in blocking scheme) = Replace with Receiver Route
#2 – Stay one step ahead of the defense using Penn State “Glance” Concept
*KEY = Replace the Replacer
#3 – X receiver runs 3 step vertical slant to replace safety rolling & filling
*KEY = Design RPO routes to beat press man cover
