We now have a rocket to both sides

If the defense inverts coverage with
motion, QB will throw the backside
The motion forces the defense to make a
choice

Using Sprint Out

We Use Two Protections- Turn Back and
Full Zone Reach
We can use a lead back, or use the back
as a swing player
The Offensive Line looks to lock the box
We can look to run first
We use a smash concept on the playside

Installing The Sprint Out Game

Changes the drop point of the QB making
it harder for the defense to get pressure
We can full sprint or half sprint
Allows us a run and pass threat
We can work two and three man route
combinations to the playside
We can incorporate the dash series as
well

Keys To The Sprint Out

QB Works to gain depth- Get to 7 yards
and attack LOS
Read the Force Defender for run option
Receivers must find the voids in the
defense
Versus Man Coverage personnel change
to create a mismatch on the backer
Look to get the ball deep first
