"1-2" Vertical Concept

51-52
61-62
71-72
81-82
91-92    

“1-2” signify the Vertical Concept in our offense.  This concept allows our offense to attack and stretch the defense toward the end zone.  The vertical passing game is a staple of our offense.  We normally will designate our areas of attack as 18-22 yards down the field.  The specific parts of the field that this concept attacks include:  4yards outside of the numbers on each side of the field, 2 yards outside each hash mark, and in some cases directly down the middle of the field.  We will also have a lower level control route.  This concept will be used against any kind of coverage we see, whether it is Man-to-Man, any zone concept.
