This course breaks down the play action passing game within Coach Rich Hargitt’s Surface to Air System, focusing on how to create explosive opportunities by marrying the run game with efficient, high-percentage pass concepts. It highlights how disciplined run action, timing, and route design work together to manipulate defenders and open throwing windows at multiple levels of the field.
You’ll explore a variety of core concepts such as Y-Cross, Y-Sail, Y-Chase, Wheels, and complementary tags like River/Lake and Ninja, with detailed explanations on how each concept attacks specific defensive structures. The course also covers both 2-man and 3-man route combinations, showing how to adjust based on coverage while maintaining simplicity in execution.
In addition to route concepts, there is a strong emphasis on protection schemes, quarterback reads, and overall structure within the play action system. The lessons tie everything together by demonstrating how these concepts fit into a broader offensive philosophy, allowing you to build a consistent, adaptable passing attack that capitalizes on defensive reactions and creates big-play potential.
