General Strategy
Players who want a balanced attack that is slightly in favor of passing the ball should look to build a short-pass style. If you throw quick routes to your backs and slot receiver, you can decrease how much you need to rely on the run game. Be sure to take the open read when it comes available, rather than waiting to go downfield. By making the smart consistent throw, you can limit your turnovers and keep the chains moving.

Strengths
- By getting the ball out quickly on offense, you don’t have to invest as much into an offensive line.
- Learning how to free up receivers from press coverage can improve your timing between the QB and WR.
- The QB’s short accuracy and medium accuracy are more important than ever before, so set your feet before throwing.
Weaknesses
- Don’t throw high-point passes with your QB into traffic over the middle.
- Learn how to use the new conservative catch when in traffic to protect the ball on third and short.
- Look out for defensive linemen dropping into coverage on zone blitzes, which can take your quick read over the middle away.
