Had a great conversation with some Pitt fans and we were discussing the concept of why Kade Bell scheme looks so different or why we hear he schemes WR open. Most people say that but what does it truly mean. So thought I would also share that convo here for our fellow Pitt football lovers.
The key to scheming receivers open is what route combos you have built into a passing game. The passing game concepts need to create situations based upon defensive coverages that the routes have built in beater routes.
For example if the defense comes out in a cover 2 defense the entire passing game concept would be built around isolating the flat defender with 2 routes that put him in a position to guard one. Usually most teams so ok we are going to run smash concept which is quick hitch at 6 yards with a corner route over the top at 12 right at the flat corner. If he opens up his hips throw the hitch if he doesn’t open hips and sits in the flat throw the corner route.
Kade Bell has built his entire offense to be run at a speed that the defense can’t adjust and he isolated route concepts so the QB is simply recognizing the one or 2 defenders. Bell usually uses 2 to 3 routes stacked off each other which floods a zone. The read is super simple for the QB and because of the pace the defense can’t adjust. If you simply watch the passing scheme know that he is usually going to run 3 routes at 3 different levels for the QB to read 1-2 to defenders and hit the open zone. They will have a deep route 25 plus yards to run off the defender or hit the homerun. They will have another route hitting that 12-18 yard zone and then something quick in the LOS to 7 yard box .
Hope that helps explain how he schemes WR open
