All-Curl Concept

One of the most reliable and time-tested concepts in football is the Flat/Curl concept. Everyone from flag football teams to the NFL runs it in some form.

This year it was our most successful pass play. We were 14/16 on the play, a sign that we should have called it MORE throughout the year.

Here is a cut-up of our Curl concept from last year:

Oh Snap!

Next year, we are looking to make one change. We are going to make Z a Choice route, similar to what we do with Z on our mesh concept.

This will give us two rhythm choices: Y-Spot vs. 2-High or Z-Choice vs. 0 or 1-High.

Rationale:
vs. a 2-High look there will likely be two linebackers, which provides more grass for the Spot.

Against a 1-High look there could be three linebackers in a 3-3, but we also like the post or fade vs. a 1-high Cover 3 or Cover 1 look.

This is what it will look like:

  3. Coach, long time reader 1st time commenter... LOL

    Great stuff. I bought into the R4 system this year and can't wait to see it in action come Friday nights.

    Way off question but what program are you using to draw up these plays?

    Appreciate your blog Coach, Thanks!
