Description

It has often been said since Jeff Grimes has been hired that despite the heavy run focus nature of his offense the vertical passing game will be an important component of the system. But what if the roster offers limitations that would hinder a traditional down the field passing game? In ability to create separation? An offensive line who may have problems handling speed on the edge? That's where building a passing game around a very Air Raid concept of vertical AND horizontal stress comes into play. Today we will build a play that uses key aspects of a Grimes attack while putting the defense in a constant state of conflict of assignment.
