Kevin Kilmer - RPO & Air Raid Pass Concepts

RPO & Air Raid Pass Concepts from 10, 11, and 12 Personnel

With Kevin Kilmer

Build a balanced offense that makes the defense defend the run and pass on every snap. In this clinic, Coach Kevin Kilmer shares how he paired run concepts with RPOs and Air Raid passing concepts at Angelo State, using formations, motions, and simple tags to create answers without relying on a fast tempo.

Through game film, Kilmer breaks down how to read conflict defenders and safeties, build RPO answers into the run game, and carry familiar concepts across different personnel groupings and formations. He also explains the coaching details behind those plays, from quarterback reads and receiver routes to blocking rules and running back alignment.

You’ll see concepts including insert zone with glance routes, outside zone RPOs, stick tags, screens, and a pass concept that gives the quarterback options against both one-high and two-high coverage. Kilmer also shares his approach to staying on schedule, protecting the football, and helping players stack routine plays into productive drives.

In this course, you’ll learn how to:

• Pair run concepts with RPO answers for the quarterback
• Read safeties and conflict defenders before and after the snap
• Use formations and motion to challenge defensive communication
• Keep the quarterback’s read consistent while changing the presentation
• Coach route details, blocking rules, and running back alignment
• Make situational play calls that support balanced, complementary football
