Matt Nagy's HB Read Package

I have discussed Matt Nagy's HB Read package on twitter quite a bit this off season. It was probably my favorite aspect of his offense, or any offense I studied.

I created a thread a few months ago. I made this post so you could easily find them in one place.



  • "Whirl":  Wheel Adjustment: https://twitter.com/b_peters12/status/1120842279827247105
    • This call takes advantage of the defense trying to cover the option route 1on1 playing tight inside leverage. The defense is trying to force the out cut and limit the effectiveness of the option route. Against this type of coverage, the "Whirl" concept can create big plays. This was one of the Bears most efficient play calls in 2018, averaging 15 yards per play.

  • Bang Post / Dig: https://twitter.com/b_peters12/status/1120842734498140160
    • The "Bang" tag is a great way to slice the intermediate level of the defense if the option route gets the attention of inside linebackers. Additionally, if the defense is trying to play the corner route from #1 weak with the safety, the dig will be able to get inside leverage easily.
