Pass Concept #10: Stick Route variations in the quick passing game

The stick concept

When instituting a 3 step game it is important to have man beaters and zone beaters to each side. Your QB should try to understand where to go with the football with both situations. You can have a few variations of different plays. Stick is one of my favorite as you can incorporate a few stick variations while also having routes backside.

The stick concept allows you to have a zone and man beater. The stick is great vs zone and the slant, fade, short in or out cut is excellent as well vs man depending on

2x2 version

The 2 x2 version is simple. The first one I will show is with the RB to the flat on the arrow route to the side of the stick. They also run double slants away from it. This is an option vs man coverage. To the stick side, you have the zone coverage option.
