The Flow Screen is a big play tool that gives us a chance to rip off bigchunks of yardage when defenses overreact! They are known as FlowScreens because we work hard to create defensive flow in onedirection by creating the look of a particular play (run, pass, screen, orbootleg), then throwing back behind a wall of blockers in the oppositedirection!

The goal is to SEPARATE the frontside of the defense from the backsideMOVE as many defendersin one direction as possible, then SEAL them off with our receiver and Center, then SEPARATE them

with our guards kick-out block, giving our screener a lane to run through!We can literally screen to any eligible receiver we have, and we can bring him from anywhere aslong as he gets to the 4 x 4 screen spot. We can also give our flow screens different looks bymarrying them to different run and pass actions, making them good compliments to our bestplays!

Situationally, Flow Screens can be used on all down & distances, all the way through the Red Zone!

KEYS to a successful play:KEYS to a successful p

lay:QB SELLS the play with eyes, tempo, and patience, moving FSLB, safety, & BSLB!SCREENER does what needs to be done to get lost! Low padlevel!

SCREENER doesnt pop out until his blockers do, presses hisguards block!TACKLE does a great sell job opening the window and makesnecessary adjustments to protect it!FRONTSIDE LINEMEN eliminate penetration & buy QB time tosell the play!BACKS & RECEIVERS FS/Not in play SELL the play being faked inevery detail!PULLING G & C take convincing sets, allow penetration, and runfull-speed courses to the HALFWAY RENDEZVOUS with theirEYES!
