WIN WITH THE PASS

The Air Raid Simplified for High School

What does it mean to Win With The Pass?

Win With The Pass is a philosophy that is based on a few very simple principles.

1) It’s fun.

2) It works.

3) It trains Quarterbacks.

4) It makes the game safer.

No matter your situation, I know that this system will benefit your team.

It’s a hard sell to the coach that is always winning. If you are going 13-2 and winning state

championships every year with the Wing T or the I formation or the Triple Option, I know it will be

difficult to give up your system. When it comes down to it, there is nothing more fun than winning

and your system is serving you well. But, on the flip side of that argument, if you are going 13-2

and winning state championships, you have really good players and if you have really good players

any system can win. If you buy in to this system you will keep winning and you will have more fun

doing it!

It’s an easy sell to that coach that is struggling. If you are going 2-8 every year, then what do you

have to lose? You might as well switch and have a ton of fun in the process.

But, this system wasn’t really designed for the coach that goes 13-2 or the coach that goes 2-8

every year. This system is designed for most of us. I’m a lot like you. I’ve won a lot and I’ve lost a

lot. I built this system for the coach like me; the coach that has fluctuating talent, the coach that

doesn’t coach at a football powerhouse, the coach that has two juggernauts waiting for him every

year in the playoffs. There are so many schools in this country that are destined to live between 4-

6 and 7-3. Your conference is really hard. Your district doesn’t have enough talent. You have great

kids, but they aren’t really football players. Your athletic program doesn’t have enough funding.

That is who this system is really built for. If you were 6-4 last year, you might go 6-4 again next

year. I can’t promise a drastic change in record because I do not know the landscape of your

conference and your state. But, pretend you are a high school kid. Do you want to go 6-4 running

the Wing T every day for 5 months, or would you rather chuck it around the yard 150 times a day in

practice and 45 times on Friday night? Then, one year, you will get the guys. You will have the

right QB, a couple receivers, a good back, and you will go on a 10-2 run. It happens. You ride the

wave of success based on the cycle of kids in your program. So, if we know that is the case, why do

we try to beat the Flexbone down their throat and turn practice into a mundane, boring, and

uninspiring two hours. Football is supposed to be fun! And, if you think kids really like pounding

their heads against each other for two hours a day trying to win the battle in the B Gap, you don’t

understand the modern high school athlete. This system is built for kids. They love it. They will

come out to play because of it. They will transfer to your school because of it. If I was 17 and my

coach rolled this out, I would actually be excited to practice.

This system is not a set of plays. It is a philosophy. To Win With The Pass means to commit to

throwing the ball. We throw the ball 90% of the time in practice. In games we will use the pass to

set up the pass and the run. In games, we will take what the defense gives us. We may run the ball

50% of the time on Friday night, but we have committed to the pass so heavily in practice that if

and when we do run the ball, we will always have a numbers advantage.

First, and foremost, IT IS FUN TO THROW THE BALL. Your kids, your fans, your administration, and

your coaches will love this offense. You won’t have a hard time convincing kids that they should

come out and play football if you are running this offense. Everyone will get touches. Your

linemen will play hard because they don’t have to bang every single play. You will have QB’s dying

to play in your system. It is so much fun. Kids have a lot of options now-a-days. If football is only

fun on Friday Nights, there will be no buzz around your program unless you are constantly winning.

But for most of us, it is about the experience of our kids. They need to enjoy the process.

Second, IT WORKS. If you practice this offense according to my prescribed methods, you will

complete over 60% of your passes. You will be explosive. You will stretch the field. You will score

enough points to win games. This system has an answer for every coverage and every front that

you will face. Game planning will become easier because there are only a certain amount of ways

that teams can line up against 4 and 5 receiver sets. The routes don’t change each week. We don’t

have to install coverage beaters because the entire system is built with an answer to every

coverage. For example, we can run the same play against a cover 4 or 2 Man. We don’t have to

call a new play. We just throw it to a different guy because someone else is open. You can

eliminate meeting time because all you have to know is what coverage your opponent plays.

Moreover, if your opponent switches it up on you on Friday night and goes to a different look that

you haven’t practiced, you can still run the same stuff. Just throw it to a different guy

Third, THIS SYSTEM TRAINS QUARTERBACKS. Most of us use the term “System quarterback,” like it

is a negative thing. But I completely disagree. To me the quarterback and the system have to

mesh. How many playbooks have you looked at that just have a play drawn up and then say

something like this, “QB reads outside linebacker.” Or, you see Four Verticals drawn up with no

direction of how the QB is supposed to read the play or who he is supposed to throw it to. Win

With the Pass is completely different. It is a progression based system. Your QB will have a set

process for every single play. It will always be the same no matter what the coverage. It will not

change week to week. This system takes the guess work out of playing QB. You simply drop back,

go through your progression, and throw it to the first open guy. If you have a kid who can throw

accurately, you will have a great QB in this system. Why do Mike Leach’s QB’s always led the

nation in passing and usually have limited NFL productivity? It is because in college they know the

system, execute progressions, and throw accurately. In the NFL it is much more nuanced. There is

a different definition of open and covered and the defenses are much more complex. But we

aren’t playing in the NFL. We are playing in high school, where maybe one kid on the opposing

team actually has any coverage skills. If you release 4 guys on every route, someone will be open.

All you have to do is teach your QB to find him. We have to understand how high school kids

think. Telling them, throw it to the open guy is not something that they understand or can actually

do. We need to give them a prescription, a process, a system. That is what Win With the Pass

does.

Fourth, IT IS THE FUTURE. You can be very physical in this offense and we coach physicality. But,

we are smart with how we use our kids and with how we protect them. We all see the trends.

Physicality is being taken out of the game. States are beginning to legislate the amount of contact

you can have in practice. Let’s take California for example. They have recently passed a law that

limits padded practices to two 90-minute sessions per week during season. I’m sure we’ve all tried

to run an inside drill or a run-heavy team period without pads. It doesn’t work and in a lot of ways

it’s a waste of time. But we can throw every day, pads or no pads. This means that while the Wing

T or the Triple Option coaches are limited to when they can actually practice, you are getting

better. If your state hasn’t gone there yet, it is coming. It isn’t crazy to think that eventually

tackling might be banned in practice. The 3 point stance might be outlawed. That is where the

game is headed. Even if your state isn’t as drastic as California, you still have to be ahead of the

trend. You need to prove to your kids, your community, and your parents that you are doing

everything in your power to protect kids. I don’t know a better way to do this than to take kids out

of a three point stance. Stand them up and let them use their chest and hands instead of their

neck and shoulders. We are still going to move our feet and bring our hips, but we aren’t going to

bang our heads every single play. If you think this is a good thing and you care about the safety of

kids, this is the perfect offense for you. Your linemen are going to stay healthy in this system. You

are going to reduce collisions and make the game safer.

Here is the bottom line. You can keep doing what you are doing. There are a lot of systems out

there that are proven to be successful. But, if you want to build great QB, make the game a little

safer, save time for you and your coaches, get kids energized, get more kids out for football, excite

your administration and fan base, and have more fun than you have ever had coaching, you need

to install this system.

DROP BACK GAME

PHILOSOPHY:

1) Progression based system

a. Throw to the ball the first open man in the progression

b. QB’s don’t read defenders, they read open areas and assess who is running to that open space

c. QB’s memorize the progression and the picture of the route

2) Built in Blitz Beaters

3) Throw the ball vertically and attack deep zones

4) Should be 55-65% completion percentage

5) Favorite formations are Ace and Trips.

PROTECTIONS

This Offense utilizes three protection schemes:

Quick

Drop Back

Sprint Out

1) Quick and Drop Back Protection are the same scheme. The only thing that changes is

the footwork of the linemen.

2) The quick game footwork for linemen is two kick steps and post up with their outside

foot back.

3) The drop back game is a vertical set where the linemen retreat 3-4 yards and post up on

their inside foot.

4) The protection assignments vary based on the defensive front.

5) The Center is responsible for identifying the front

6) The tailback is repsonsible for giving a “Roger” or “Larry” call. This can be a part of the

gameplan or can be made every snap. This will identify what side of the formation he is

working.

7) The center will work opposite the Tailback.

8) In this offense, we try to account for all 7 defenders which covers us in the case of any

blitz scheme.

9) The uncovered lineman is usually in a dual read scenario, reading linebackers from

inside to outside.

10) The Tailback has a key role in protection. He usually reads at least two linebackers

before releasing into his route. Again, this depends on the defensive front and the play

call.

11) A “Big” Call means that an offensive lineman is locked on a defender

12) Sprint Out is a Zone Scheme where each lineman is repsonsbile for their playside gap
