Instead of a jump set where you make contact on your second step, or one kick, contact on a 45-degree set is made on your second kick. It’s an aggressive pass set literally on a 45-degree angle. A 45-degree set is the next option and used most often by tackles when they want to get on the defender quickly. If you try to jump set a defender who’s too far away, you will get beat around the edge.
Moving on to the 45-degree set: it’s a jump set mentality, but used on a defender off your body. The defensive end is playing it as a run. Smith sells run action, gets his hands right on the chest, brings his feet. It’s a play action pass with a short roll by the quarterback. Here is a textbook jump set by Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith, No. A true jump set must be used when the defender is on your body, and in shotgun, that’s less likely. This set is less common among offensive tackles because there are fewer passes from under center. It’s very tempting to stop your feet when the defender also stops his feet. Also, you can run into problems with stopping your feet on contact. The issues you run into with a jump set is setting too wide on the defender and allowing him to beat you inside. Ideally, you’d make contact on your second step or first kick. When you jump set, it’s important to get your feet into the ground quickly with a good base, staying inside out on the defender. The linebackers will read run, step up, and the offense is able to throw behind them.Ī jump set is best used when the defender is touching your body. If you sell run action, the defensive lineman will stop his feet and look around. The goal of a jump set is getting your hands on the defender as soon as possible and in the process, sell the run action while keeping your pads down. Jump setĪ jump set is commonly used for a play action pass or a three-step drop when the ball is out quickly. A jump set and the 45 are closely related, using the same principles, but vary based on the alignment of the defender. The three types of pass sets are a jump set, 45-degree set, and vertical set. As one offensive line coach told me “we can find guards at the local grocery store!”
We will focus on that position because they get paid to pass protect. There are three types of pass sets for offensive tackles. The same technique principles apply to all sets - balanced base, great punch, and targeting - but how that technique is applied is determined by the set. Each of these protections uses a different style of pass protection.Ī set is how you go about pass protecting.
There are play action passes, screen passes, and bootleg/nakeds. With the heavy use of shotgun now, these drop numbers have changed. Drop back passes which include three-step drops, five-step drops, and rare for today’s game, a seven-step drop. There are multiple types of pass protections. In that piece, I explained the most basic fundamentals of pass protecting. Last week, I wrote how a quarterback can sack himself. I’m here to bring some more joy to the weekend by breaking down the three different types of pass sets offensive linemen can use. Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! I hope y’all are enjoying the weekend of family, food, and football.
