Coach’s Corner: Scouting Minnesota’s Passing Attack

Related Topics: Play-action pass, H-back, Minnesota

Last week we broke down the bread and butter of the Minnesota offense, the zone power run. This week we’ll take a look at the other half of their offense, the passing game. As you can imagine with as much as they rely on their run game, their play action series is a big part of their offense, so we’ll break down a couple examples there. We’ll also take a peek at a variation of the bubble screen they run. And we’ll look at their straight-drop passing game which, unexpectedly and surprisingly, uses some concepts with which we should be familiar.
