How Pass Protection Works · Thinking Football
What it is
Complete pass protection system breakdown covering BOB, full slide, and half slide schemes with defender adjustments and play action implications.
Why it's great
Unlike technique-focused videos, this maps the decision tree: when to use each scheme, what front triggers each call, and which gaps become vulnerable. The half-slide weaknesses section (7:39) shows exactly what defenses attack—critical for teaching linemen to recognize and adjust.
How to use it in practice
Install as a classroom session before practice. Use 0:27-4:36 to teach base schemes, then 7:39-11:20 to show where each breaks down. On field, walk through each protection against cards showing the fronts and stunts discussed, forcing linemen to identify the scheme and declare their rules before the snap.
