A Two Tight End Hitch Screen Keeps The Defense Honest
Today we are going to take a look at a two tight end hitch screen. We like it a lot because of what the personnel and formation does to a defense before the ball is even snapped. Before we look at this though we want to point out the value of screens in your offense.
It is well documented at this point that Andy Reid has always leaned heavily on a strong screen game. This is almost certainly because of his background as an offensive line coach. Coaches who have worked for him will tell you that he has a screen period scheduled in every practice.

This has always stuck with me because if you watch Reid’s teams play, you normally see this reflected still today. Even as the game has evolved to a game of RPO’s and horizontal run games, the screen game has survived and I suspect it always will with smart offensive coordinators.

FirstDown PlayBook has devoted an entire section to the screen game in the Varsity Offense section. This two tight end hitch screen is just one example of many others. Trust us when we say the FirstDown Playbook screen section is deep. As you will see in the video below we block up all of your screens against multiple fronts just like we do your runs and protections.
The icing on the cake here is that, of course, you can use FirstDown PlayBook to edit all of these screens to fit your offense and personnel!
