Lane Reads

Lane Recognition

O-Lane – Dropback Pass
I-Lane – Outside Run (Perimeter)
2-Lane – Inside Run (Interior)
3-Lane – Out-of-Pocket Pass (Boot/Sprintout)

Concept- Every scheme can be broken down into four different lanes. Lanes are
read/responsibility fits. It will organize an offense into our scheme so we can drill our fits
and responsibilities.

O Lane-Pocket pass. QB drop straight back and remain in pocket (“Pass, Pass, Pass”)

 

 

1 Lane-Fast flow play that moves laterally down LOS attacking perimeter (“On, On, On”)

 

2 Lane- Play that moves downhill toward the LOS attacking the inside Run Box (“Off, Off, Off”)

 

3 Lane-Boot/Roll-out pass where QB is out of the pocket (Boot, Boot. Boot)

 

Lane Reads (What it all means)

Run Fits

Where do you fit in relationship to your defensive teammates? I-Lane (Outside Run) “build the wall”. 2-Lane (Inside Run) “gap replace”. Know where you “FIT”!!!

Pass Rules

O-Lane is Drop back pass we will route recognize, re-route, wall-off and communicate. 3-Lane is Out-of-Pocket pass, we must force contain and slide
our zone.
