Verticals 2.0

This year I am going to install the R4 operating system in our offense.  We are going to keep our 4 Verticals and apply R4 to this concept.  I am a big believer in the Pat-N-Go throw in-order to throw it your receivers must be disciplined enough to stay on the numbers and physical enough not to get pressed into the sideline.  (remember the sideline hasen't missed a tackle since 1869).

These are the Rules

R4 from Darren Slack

Rhythm: Option 1 Throw on 3rd step in the Pistol (No hitch) Ball in Thrown in 1.8 seconds

Read: Option 2 Thrown off one hitch Ball in Thrown in 2.2 seconds

Rush: Thrown off ANY Step in Route Breaks under 5 yards

Release:  The QB Practices scrambling drills can buy an additional 1.5 seconds

Identify Coverage

The Reads are based on coverage so it is critical that the QB understands how to Identify the coverage: 

Man vs Zone

Vs Man the Read route is not an option. since you only have 2 seconds. 

Vs Zone you have 3 seconds so there are 3 reads. 

Collision and Cushion Conformation 

Collision Conformation if any inside route is re-routed by a defender then that speeds up the QB read to the next one.  

Cushion Conformation if an outside receiver breaks the cushion of the defender then the ball is thrown deep its pre-snapped then confirmed on the last step of the drop.         

Pre Snap

Look left to right low, look left to right high QB is looking for Grass and Leverage with Rhythm Routes. 

The Routes 

All of the Receivers have some sort of sight adjustment this is only for 2 X 2 Formations 

Outside Receivers X and Y They must stay on the top of the numbers which will allow the QB to have 7 yards to work with on a Pat-N-Go throw.  They run their route after ten yards they look in at the QB and will be able to see the back shoulder fade if the QB throws the football.  It is important that both the QB and WR know he is all ways open if they both are on the same page. We will rep this every day and I am really think about outlawing the Deep Ball Throw in Practice during 7 on 7 or just make him throw the Pat-N-Go or the Back Shoulder Fade.  

Inside Receivers H and B They must get to their hash if there are two safeties they have to win over the top by 12 yards if not they stop and do a half curl.      

A Back runs a check Down he releases through B gap and gets to 5 yards and turns to the QB

Vs Zone he turns and replaces the dropping linebacker.

Vs Man he works leverage against the linebacker maned up with him works leverage inside leverage go out side outside leverage go inside.

Solid Screen From the Pistol

I do want to add a Stretch Play from the pistol and use Rich Rodriguez and Herb Hand running back reads for the Zone: Bounce, Bend, Bang.  It also will allow us to run the Solid Screen (Tony Franklin System)  without having to do it just from a Sprint Out, Hand Sweep or Speed Option Look which we will do those three looks also.

I believe that Screens can add up 100 plus yards to your offense in yardage and can add about 50 to 75 in hidden yardage both in the passing game and running game because it wears out the defensive line and also takes the aggressiveness out of them.
