Part 8/10:

One of the most versatile forms of pass protection comes through play action schemes, which are designed to fake a running play. This approach not only slows down rushing players but also orchestrates unexpected angles of attack. Key variations include the naked boot and the boot action, both of which serve to mislead rushers while providing protection for the quarterback.

5. Sprint Protection

Sprint protections, sometimes known as rollout protections, involve the quarterback moving to one side while the line slides in the same direction. This setup leverages a quick pass to the flat and is particularly effective in short-yardage situations or against aggressive blitzing defenses. The key is for the quarterback to have effective symmetry with the offensive line in their movement.
