Anatomy of a play: Dissecting the Packers 2-3 Scat pass protection and the Dragon Lion Y Over concept

Last week Packers' film room anatomy of a play looked at “jet” pass protection, a staple West Coast Offense 6-man half slide pass protection, and a corresponding passing game concept paired with it. Today, we will look at and dissect another staple West Coast Offense pass protection scheme and passing concept that’s paired with it: 5-man “scat” pass protection and the “Dragon”, “Dragon Over”, and “Lion” passing concepts.

The play call: Z left out to gun double left open 3 scat Dragon Lion Y Over

Formation: Gun double left open

The formation is a shotgun formation with tight end (Y) Josiah Deguara in an open flexed out position to the left.
