Blitz Beating Teaching Progression
Before diving into our step-by-step teaching progression, it is important to understand that we deal with the blitz on two different levels. Blitzes can be recognized pre-snap and dealt with from a checkoff standpoint, and blitzes have to adjust on the move. Specifically, the latter category refers to a situation in which a player we had counted as a coverage player in our pre-snap checklist quickly became a rush player not accounted for in the protection. We would like to avoid the situation as much as possible. We would much rather have the control of dealing with things pre-snap, but we must build and practice ways to deal with these situations when they occur.
Certain types of formations can help us in this regard, because they make blitzes more recognizable by making it more difficult for people who lineup in coverage initially to effectively rush. Most formations of this type are in the category of wider sets, generally involving four spread receivers. Certainly the use of these kinds of looks is one of the preventative measures we will feature to maximize the number of times we have to resort to on the move blitz adjustments.
Protection Checks Versus Hot
Two fundamental philosophies exist regarding how the blitz should be attacked. While it is important, especially at higher levels of football, to have the ability to do both, our philosophy has always been to use protection checks anytime we can. That helps us avoid the need for hot throws as much as possible.
