After a great conversation with @WTAMUFootball Head Coach @CoachJoshLynn I am excited to announce I have been offered the opportunity to play quarterback at West Texas A&M. Thank you to my teammates & coaches! Cool that my older brother @nathangreek plays TE for WT. @coachkbleil
This is a great play-action concept off of power read.
➡️The Post is the alert.
➡️The Rail stretches the defense horizontally.
➡️The Shallow occupies underneath defenders.
➡️The Dig settles into the void created by the movement.
Every route has a purpose.
🎯 1. POST:
🔺 (Alert vs Quarters) The "Y" attacks the near upright at 10-12 yards and forces the safety to make a decision.
🔺Drive on the dig and give up the post? Carry the post and vacate the zone underneath?
🔺Either way, this concept has answers.
🎯 2. RAIL:
🔻The Rail route is the engine of the concept.
🔻By widening to the sideline, it stretches linebackers and safeties horizontally, creating space for everything happening behind it.
🔻Most young QBs stare at the post.
🔻Understand the Rail is what makes the concept work. Get to it quick.
🎯 3. DIG:
🔺As defenders expand with the Rail and react to the Post, the shallow/dig arrive into the vacated windows.
🔺Easy completion & a chain mover.
🎯 4. SHALLOW:
🔺The Shallow route cleans up the picture.
🔺Against zone, sit in grass. Against man, keep running.
🧠 Quarterback Coaching Point
🔻Don't chase the big play.
🔻Read the conflict players.
🔻If the safety carries the Post, eyes to Rail.
🔻If FS gets nosy, take the Post over the top.

QB's....stop speeding up your HUDL film and training film.
I'm telling you this from being in the college coach's shoes. They don't want to see that. It's corny and annoying.
Just post your film and be proud of it. 🎥
If you haven't started a full season in high school and you're upset with not having offers then you are delusional.
Get in the weight room, film room, and focus on creating chemistry with your team.
End of story.
Way too much entitlement out there in today's landscape.
One of the best ways to stress Split Safeties.
If the safety drives the wheel ➡️ throw the post.
If he stays deep ➡️ hit the wheel.
Simple. Explosive.
⸻
🎨THE DESIGN
This concept creates a high/low on the safety while stretching the CB vertically.
You’re attacking:
🔺Deep middle (Post)
🔺Sideline (Wheel)
🔺Underneath (Key 2)
That’s a 3-level stretch on one side.
⸻
🧠 QB PROCESS
Eyes on the Safety (SS)
🔺SS drives down ➡️ Throw the Post
🔺SS stays deep ➡️ Eyes to CB Throw the Wheel
If both are capped → work the checkdown (Key 2)
⸻
🎯 ROUTE DETAILS
X – Big Post
🔺Push vertical to 10
🔺Stick and break to near upright
Y – Wheel
🔺Motion to #3
🔺Sell flat, then turn up sideline
F – Key 2
🔺Settle behind LBs
🔺Be ready as the outlet
⸻
🔑 Coaching Detail
The Post must hold the safety.
If the Post is lazy, the Wheel gets capped.
Everything works together.

Western Kentucky's "90 SWAP" 🧠🏈
This concept is built to stress the deep structure of the defense and force safeties to declare early. Everything starts with discipline in landmarks, eyes, and timing.
QB PROCESS:
1️⃣ Pre-snap: Identify MOFO vs MOFC (2-high vs 1-high)
2️⃣ Post-snap: Confirm with the seam read — key the near safety
3️⃣ Progression:
- Single-high → Outside GO → STREAK → SEAM → backside GO → CHECKDOWN
- Two-high → STREAK → SEAM window at 10-12 → CHECKDOWN
4️⃣ Tempo: Hitch and drive — ball out on rhythm, no drift

ULM's DRIVE / BENCH (60’s) 🧠🏈🦅
This is a simple concept that puts stress on every coverage — if you coach the details right.
Key Points: 🔑
🔴 W – Drive
•Shave the rub release to 4–6 yards
•Stay underneath the backers
•Keep moving vs. zone (don’t sit unless it’s man)
🟡 Y – Dig Read
•Vertical push through the LBs
•Read the safety
•Capped = Dig at 12
•Uncapped = Turn it into a seam
🔵 Z – Bench
•Vertical to 10
•Speed cut to the sideline (6 steps)
•Timing + spacing = everything
⚫ X – MOR (Mandatory Outside Release)
•Win outside
•Stretch the coverage
•Clear space for Drive & Bench
🟢 T – 60’s
•Check 1 to 2 to roof
•If uncovered, release late into route
QB Progression:
Bench ➡️ Drive ➡️ Dig Read ➡️ Back
(Man = MOR ➡️ Bench)
This concept forces flat defenders to choose and isolates the safety in conflict. If you rep it with tempo and spacing, it’s a chain-mover all day.

SLIPPER RPO 🧠⚡️
This concept is a great way to punish aggressive edge defenders in the run game.
If the DE chases the run ➡️ replace him with the slip.
Simple conflict football.
⸻
🎨THE DESIGN
Wide Zone run paired with a slip route to the flat.
The goal is to make the backside DE wrong no matter what he does.
⸻
🧠 QB PROCESS
1️⃣ Run the Wide Zone mesh
🔻Eyes immediately go to the backside DE.
⸻
2️⃣ Read the DE
🔻If the DE chases the RB / squeezes the run ➡️ Detach and throw the slip
🔻If the DE sits or widens ➡️ Hand the ball off
⸻
🖊️ROUTE DETAILS
F – Slipper
🔻Influence the DE upfield
🔻Slip outside into the flat
🔻Expect the ball immediately
Y – Crack
🔻Motion to stack the X
🔻Work inside to crack the flat defender
X – Crack
🔻Vertical push then work inside
🔻Remove the corner from the play
Z – Backside Cutoff
🔻Work to cut off the backside safety
⸻
🎯 COACHING
🔻The slip route should not go deeper than 3 yards.
🔻You want the ball out immediately to replace the defender who chased the run.

Coaches — do you prefer slipping the H or the Y in your split-flow RPO game?
👇 Curious how everyone teaches it.
