The passing game is pretty simple. A player CANNOT PASS FORWARD. Lateral passes are tolerated but they are sketchy. Backward passes are the way to go, which explains the diagonal line up of the offensive team.
The backward pass also allows the receiver of the pass some time before the opponents get to him/her since the defenders have to be on their respected side of the ball. Ideally the receiver should time the reception while running at full speed.
