Horizontal Stretches
These are pretty simple, basically, the idea of a horizontal stretch is to put a defender, or multiple defenders, in a bind from left to right.
Vertical Stretches
This is basically the same principle, but vertically. It is colloquially known as a hi-lo.
In true West Coast fashion, these principles basically define what Joe Brady is trying to do to you in the passing game. Now let’s get into a couple of ways he achieves this.
Drive
A drive concept is basically a shallow cross paired with a dig route The drive concept is something that Joe Brady likes to pair backside to other concepts to create a full field read for the QB. He will frontside it with a lot of things, sometimes a post wheel combo, sometimes just a sideline vertical, but most often he pairs it with a smash concept. featuring a corner route by the X-receiver and a flat by the running back.
Levels
Levels is a very similar concept to drive, just featuring more of a quick in breaker, option or hitch from the underneath receiver instead of a shallow cross. It is used effectively often as a zone beater, putting a hook or apex defender in a vertical stretch. It is a great concept to keep your QB in rhythm with. It’s often put on the backside of a man beater give the QB a side of the field to read against man and a side against zone. That way you have an answer for either.
Weak side option route
Brady brought over that concept from the Superdome to Tiger Stadium. LSU would motion or line up one of their running backs to the weak-side in a 3x1 or 3x2 formation. The wide receiver, usually Ja’Marr Chase, would line up in the slot. As Galina states here, the option gives the receiver multiple options based on the alignment of the defender.
The option route gives the slot receiver three choices predicated on the how the defender on top of him is playing. Essentially, he’s doing the opposite of that defender. After about 4-5 yards, if the guy is playing inside, run out. If he’s playing outside, run inside on a slant. If you feel like he’s playing deeper in zone, you sit down and hook up
Glance route RPO
Before joining the Saints, Joe Brady was a grad assistant at Penn State under Joe Moorhead.
It was in Happy Valley where Brady became immersed with Moorhead’s RPO offense. The glance route is a common route tagged in an RPO. The offense is attempting to replace the conflict defender by running a 5-step vertical slant to replace the safety rolling and filling.
