#4 The Tight End "Pop" pattern
At the youth football levels, it always pays to watch what the defensive safety is doing.  Does he line up in the same spot every time? Some opposing defensive coordinators like to bring the “house” by rushing every available safety and LB line backer.

A simple TE tight end pop can kill this type of  defensive action. It is an easy throw of 15 yds or less, and can be adjusted to fit the defense. If TE can take an outside release and not get jammed, use the outside release. TE should look like he is blocking..

Use a fast play action to freeze the LB’s. Quarterback must release the  ball in around 1.7 sec.  TE should always concentrate just on catching the ball first.

TE can take an inside release if he is held up, then straighten up and read the safety as whether to proceed straight up field or to take a corner route. Note: the TE must make a clear choice within 1.5 sec. and look for the ball and execute the pattern.
