Passing Concepts | Football 101

Ever wanted to learn more about football? Want to learn the X's and O's and what they mean? Join me for Football 101: a series where I take the knowledge of your regular NFL fan and expand it to topics found in the film room. Today's topic, passing concepts. Also, if anyone can tell me who is on the thumbnail and why he is there for this episode of Football 101, they will get a shoutout in the next Football 101 video.

Would be nice to hear more detail on what these concepts are designed to do to influence the linebackers and or safeties and how the QB goes through his reads (high/low reads for example), instead of just showing the formation and what it is called. Like explaining how dagger is designed to clear out the safety and give the QB a high low read depending on if the linebackers fall back to cover the dig or come up to cover the shallow drag from the opposite side of the formation. I only know a few of the common concepts to this extent and if you could teach them all it would be really interesting. Thank you!

I'm trying to get better at Madden because being a 33 year old playing against Gen Z is like suicide 😂

Really well explained, theres these other channels that over-complicate things and you just make it easier to understand, thank you

REALLY like this type of video! I was never a player, but now I'm super interested in the strategy of football.

Its always great when a team comes together and has a great season. So many parts go into making a competitive football team. Its amazing really. The ultimate team sport. From the equipment managers to medical personnel right on up to coaches, players, teams and schools. American football is the greatest sport on earth and its not even close.

Was actually a nice video man. I knew a couple three of those, and I had heard a lot of them like smash and mesh, but didn't know the routes and what not. Keep the Football 101 videos coming.

Excellent discussion.

I played 4 years of Offensive Line in college. 40+ years ago. Defensive Tackle in High School.
Haven’t been involved with football other than as a fan sense.
Never really had to understand passing concepts before.
Being a Veer offensive, we had some sweet run blocking schemes. Pass blocking was simple & rules based back then. We made the blocking calls on the line. Usually it was the Guards’ responsibility. Tom, George, Under, Man, Hook, Backside & scads of misleading words - in English, Spanish & foul language.

Blocking has changed dramatically.
And the passing game has changed almost exponentially. The West Coast & Air Raid offenses changed everything.

Thank you for your explanations.
Very helpful!

Important thing to add about the Stick concept is that the stick route run by the WR can be an option route, depending on the coverage if it’s man or zone. If man, then the WR continues on an out or dig route. Thanks for the video!

Good job again Grant. The intricate details of Diagrams. And the euphonious delivery of voice are your two best USPs. This is HARD level theory with a surprising lucidity

[mattpain]

Another great Chanel for those looking for videos such as these is the QB school. It helps if you’re a QB but it’s also good for anyone in general looking for more FBI

New fan here from the UK - loved the vid. Hope you release more Football 101 vids !

Hey Grant, first off all I love the way you're able to break down video, concepts, routes, etc. I sub'd last week and glad I did. You should think about coaching. Getting these young ones off their tablets and giving them an experienced person as you are...

[meatwashington]

please do a video on what concepts works best against 2 High and Single High Safeties.. please
