Air Coryell

Air Coryell is a passing-based football strategy developed in the 1980s by coach Don Coryell. It emphasizes a vertical passing attack, using long, precise throws to stretch the defense and create big gains. The system relies on skilled receivers running precise routes and quarterback accuracy to exploit gaps in coverage. By focusing on timing and route complexity, it transforms the passing game into a potent weapon, opening up the field and opening opportunities for big plays. This approach revolutionized modern football passing strategies, prioritizing vertical routes and quick decision-making to outmaneuver defenses.
