PRESENTATION OUTLINE

SCREEN SUMMARY TABLE

INSTALLATION DRILLS

•The Flow Screen is a big play tool that gives us a chance to rip off big chunks of yardage when defenses overreact! They are known as “Flow Screens” because we work hard to create defensive ‘flow’ in one direction by creating the look of a particular play (run, pass, screen, or bootleg), then “throwing back” behind a wall of blockers in the opposite direction!

•The goal is to SEPARATE the frontside of the defense from the backside…MOVE as many defenders in one direction as possible, then SEAL them off with our receiver and Center, then SEPARATE them with our guard’s kick-out block, giving our screener a lane to run through!

•We can literally screen to any eligible receiver we have, and we can bring him from anywhere as long as he gets to the 4 x 4 “screen spot.” We can also give our flow screens different looks by “marrying” them to different run and pass actions, making them good compliments to our best plays!

•Situationally, Flow Screens can be used on all down & distances, all the way through the Red Zone!

KEYS to a successful play:KEYS to a successful play:•QB SELLS the play with eyes, tempo, and patience, moving FS LB, safety, & BSLB!•SCREENER does what needs to be done to get lost! Low pad level!•SCREENER doesn’t pop out until his blockers do, presses his guard’s block!•TACKLE does a great sell job opening the window and makes necessary adjustments to protect it!•FRONTSIDE LINEMEN eliminate penetration & buy QB time to sell the play!•BACKS & RECEIVERS FS/Not in play SELL the play being faked in every detail!•PULLING G & C take convincing sets, allow penetration, and run full-speed courses to the “HALFWAY RENDEZVOUS” with their EYES!•OUTSIDE RECEIVER seals the alley with a great, well-timed CRACK block!
