The Multiple Screen Passing Game

Various screen passes have been an important part of our multiple offensive attack at Iona College and all the other schools I have coached at (St. Joseph’s College, Morehead State University, Lehigh University and Fordham University) throughout my career. We have always emphasized the use of multiple formations, multiple personnel groupings, and a multi-dimensional offense that attacks the whole field and attempts to keep the defense off balance. It is also our intention to try and create preparation problems for the defense as they prepare for us during the week. With this in mind, we feel our screen game has fit in well with this philosophy and has been a very successful part of our offense. It is my belief that no matter what offense you run, screen passes can be successfully incorporated. EFFECTIVE USE OF THE SCREEN PASS WHY DO WE RUN SCREEN PASSES? 1. To slow down the pass rush.
