Teach Your Football Wide Receivers to Get Open and Score Points In
Bunches
Your passing game starts with the ability of your football wide receivers to
get separation from their defenders. It doesn't matter if you have the
greatest quarterback in the world if his receivers can't give him a window
to throw to.
The first step is to teach your wide receivers how to get off the line. If the
defenders are pressing and bumping at the line, the receiver must know
how to beat the pressure. Begin by teaching fakes. The most basic is the
"head bob". This is where the football wide receiver moves his head to
one side while getting his body moving straight or to the other side. A
good shoulder fake can spice this move up.
Since defensive backs will eventually pick up on a repeated fake, teach
your receivers to mix things up with double-fakes (fake one way, then the
other, then move beyond the defensive back).
Football wide receivers must also be taught how to use their hands to
gain separation. Teach the "rip" and "swim" techniques. If cutting left,
teach them to use the right arm to "rip" up through the cornerback's arms.
For the "swim" technique, teach your wide receivers to bring the inside
arm up and over the corner's arms to knock the arms downward.
Once off the line, good route running is obviously an important skill to
develop. One way to help your football wide receivers get open is to have
them run hard to a specific spot, get control (possibly use a fake here)
and make the cut. Plant the foot away from the direction of the cut, make
the cut and then accelerate into the cut. Teach your players the
importance of getting the defensive back moving backwards and then
cutting away from them.
Besides the straight line charge, you can also have your football receivers
use an S-shape weave to get open. Have them run quickly at the
defensive back to get close, then "curve" around him to gain separation.
Against man-to-man coverage, learning the art of good cuts and making
those cuts at the right time will be extremely important to the success of
your wide receivers. Against zone coverage, it's a bit different. Since the
defenders are defending an area, the football receivers won't need to use
their fakes quite as much since they just need to find the holes in the zone.
One often over-looked area where you can give your players an
advantage is in your scouting of the opposition. Don't underestimate the
importance of exploiting how your players match up to the other guys.
Figure out how you can game-plan how to get your best or fastest
receiver matched up against the opposition's weakest or slowest
defensive back.
Teach your football wide receivers the correct fundamentals for getting
open, game-plan your match ups effectively, then sit back and feel the
satisfaction of watching a beautifully executed big play win the game for
your players.

Roll Your Quarterback Out and Win More Games
Football teams ranging from the high school level down to
the youth football level will never be successful passing
the ball.
Do you believe this? Many coaches and football bystanders
do. I do not.
In my experience, if you're trying to have success with five
or seven step drops, then my opening statement is true.
However, if you implement the shorter three-step drop and
roll-outs, you can definitely have success passing the ball
with youngsters.
Let's take a closer look at the types of roll-outs you can
use with your youth football team to gain those crucial
yards necessary to move the chains.
1) Basic Wide Roll-Out
The basic idea behind the roll-out is to create pressure on
the defenders to make a decision on whether to defend the
run or pass. At the snap, your quarterback runs to the left
or right behind the line of scrimmage instead of dropping
straight back.
As your quarterback "rolls out", the cornerback or
linebacker in coverage to that side must make a decision: Do
they commit to stopping the quarterback from running or stay
in pass coverage?
If the defender stays in coverage, the quarterback can throw
if the receiver is open or take off and run if the receiver
is covered. If the defender decides to come up to stop the
run, you may have a wide open receiver for your quarterback
to pass to.
2) Short Roll-Out
On a short roll-out, you'll instruct your quarterback to
move just past the tackle. This type of roll-out gives you
the same advantages as explained in the "wide" roll-out with
the added option of the throwback pass to the side opposite
that of your quarterback's roll-out direction.
3) Sprint-Out
The sprint-out is a roll-out where your quarterback will
take a quicker and more shallow route along the line as he
moves behind the running backs. Usually, you'll have two or
three receivers (half-back, tight end, flanker) on the play
side run quick outs or hooks so the quarterback can get the
ball out quickly. You can also have the quarterback give a
quick pitch to a half-back rolling out in front of the QB.
4) Bootleg
Whereas in the previously mentioned roll-out types your
quarterback moves in the same direction as the running
backs, on a bootleg he moves in the opposite direction. At
the snap, your quarterback will fake to a running back, then
roll to the opposite side of the field.
A bootleg is good in short yardage situations or at the goal
line. As the defense reacts to the flow of the play in one
direction, your quarterback is moving with the ball in the
opposite direction and will usually find an open area in
which to run or pass into.
Some teams will have a lineman pull out to provide extra
protection while some run a pure "naked" boot where only the
quarterback rolls opposite the initial flow direction.
5) Waggle
There are different opinions on what constitutes a waggle.
Some coaches call it a waggle when the quarterback fakes to
one or two running backs and then rolls behind the backs as
they all move in the same direction.
Other coaches call it a waggle when the quarterback makes
the fake and then moves out in the opposite direction as
explained above in the "bootleg" section. Usually, the
pulling lineman is employed in this type of roll-out.
I've often found that young offensive lineman have trouble
holding out defenders long enough for the five and
seven-step drops. Plus, the roll-outs described above will
most likely open up more receivers for you as many youth
defenders will get confused on whether to come up for the
run or stay back in coverage.
It's up to you, but if you desire success with passing the
football in the youth leagues, I highly recommend you get
good at employing some form of the roll-out into your
playbook.
