The Passing Game

The forward pass is commonly accepted as being the most potent offensive weapon in football. It was with this thought in mind that this book was written. It is the purpose of this book to take the most accepted basic pass patterns in football and by breaking them down by simplified execution, learning and corrective drills, to increase the efficiency of the overall pass offense. Methods of application and execution of the nation's top professional coaches, receivers, and passers have been integrated into a simplified version of the overall picture of pass offense. Practically all related subjects pertaining to pass offense and defense have been touched upon in this study. It is the wish of the writers that along with the more concentrated material on pass receiving and pattern execution that a team's overall offensive attack can be strengthened by the application of one or more fundamentals of pass offensive technique or related offensive or defensive material given here for consideration. The writers trust that on whatever level the reader finds himself, either student, novice or veteran coach, that he will find this material both stimulating to his football thinking and productive to his passing and receiving game, with the end result being the development of an above average passing attack, and a better balanced over-all offensive picture.
