Air Raid Draw
Air Raid 90 Draw sells base dropback pass protection out of Ace 2x2. The tackles ride rushing defensive ends past the pocket while the quarterback takes a three-step pass drop, slipping the ball to the delaying back to crease the vacated interior rush lanes.
Part of the Draw play concept.
