Having covered the two schemes that make up the bulk of the Drinkwitz run game, Inside and Outside Zone, along with the constraint system that protects them, it is time to turn our attention to Coach Drink’s passing game. We will analyze the pass attack in three installments: 1. dropback passes, 2. quick passes, and 3. bootleg passes and screens.
