[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 194552, member: 639"] Quick Slants? Well, I think Ibeballin did a pretty good job with his comment but I want to expand a little bit. A quick slant will usually be thrown in the area of the field where defenses are pre-disposed to go already in defending against our run game. Some teams line up guys in the slot, whether or not we have an offensive player there! To make matters worse, if they don't line somebody up there, then they often have somebody hightailing it there immediately after the ball is snapped, whether a MLB or a S. Pretty much every team we have played fires their CBs as a run blitz on a random basis, whether or not they are lined up 8 yards off. If we called a quick slant on one of those plays, it is a pick 6 without a doubt. The CB run blitz is just something that other offenses don't have to worry about, so a quick slant is a bigger part of their arsenal. I am not a fan of the quick slant for us at all. In general, we need to design pass plays to go to the areas of the field that defenders are leaving, not running towards. I like the smoke route. I love the AB drag routes off max protect look and I love the BB screens as counters to sending the house while spying JT. [/QUOTE]
