Message: [QUOTE="cuseincincy, post: 1119793, member: 331"] Here's the deal on the "bubble screen". Coach Mac is correct that it is an extension of the running game, not the passing game. The main reason is that unlike actual pass plays the offensive linemen are allowed to block down field as long as the ball is caught behind the line of scrimmage. You will very very rarely see a QB pull back a "bubble screen" and look down field because by that time his linemen are already down field and that will be a penalty. The purpose is to get the ball to play makers in space with at least one blocker. If the "play maker" can make one guy miss (or get a good block) it can go for a long gain (as other schools exhibit).
