Boot philosophy

BOOTLEG
PACKAGE
•“Bootlegs,” meaning we are going to fake a
run in one direction, and roll the QB opposite
the fake! These are excellent plays against
LBs who overpursue against our best running
plays!
•All receivers use the same route rules for all
•In our basic boot package, the OLine(Post,
types of Bootlegs uses Over,
‘play action reach’
Pin Arrow, Go
protection across the board,
Pocket)! very similar to Slant (Inside Zone)
but without going downfield!
•In our “G” boot package, we pull the backside guard frontside,
and slush the tackle to fill for him. Receiver route rules are the
same!

KEYS to a successful play:

• GREAT fakes! RB rolls over ball & sells it, QB TAGS/VARIATIONS
follows w/eyes! •“H”
• PAD LEVEL by linemen! •‘Stay’ call for Pin
• Linemen PREVENT PENETRATION across the •‘Comeback/Double
board! Comebk
• PIN ARROW is patient and handles the BSDE •Touchdown

call from Strong/Weak.
QB: Step to course of the run play indicated, extend ball after
1st step. LOOK at RBs numbers where you would hand the
ball, PAUSE slightly to follow the RB’s course as he passes
you. Snap head around and gain quick width and depth, find
Pin Flat, seeing E.M.O.L.’s rush course as you do. If Flat is
open, give it to him RIGHT NOW for maximum R.A.C. If flat
defender widens with him from inside out, Keep escaping
outside, find OVER through a clear lane. Pre-snap read for 2-
safety look; v. 2 safety look find CB out of fake, hit Go Pocket
if he collapses (Flat to Pocket to Over), just as on the 4 route!

the ball on fake, bottom hand flat! As you come out of the
fake, spy for penetrators along course. If none, continue a
convincing run course, bend E-W to stay behind L.O.S.
