  • MAKING COMPLEX SIMPLE: Adapting RPO's for All Levels
    X&O Labs Article #3 – March 9, 2018 MAKING COMPLEX SIMPLE: Adapting RPO’s for All Levels Case Three – Sweep by Paul Hefty 9th Grade Assistant Coach State College High School, PA Instructor in Kinesiology @ Penn State University INTRODUCTION: My high school (Milledgeville, Illinois) was very small, but very successful (HFC’s – Les Snow, Gary Hartje and AHC – Rick Malson), using a classic wing-T system (35 wins and 3 losses during those four years). Classic buck sweep is an outstanding concept to apply to a one back spread RPO system. The challenge is to adapt buck sweep using an Hback along with 2nd level RPO concepts in a simple and sound manner. First, buck sweep uses a simple “covered-uncovered” blocking rule. By using a proven test-of-time wing-T core scheme we can attack the defense on the edge and off tackle at the same time. I was fortunate to play and learn under my high school coaches that used legendary HFC Forest Evashevski’s U of Iowa wing-T offense (1958 Big Ten Conference Champions and 1959 Rose Bowl winners over the U of Cal). Again, you can use this same sweep scheme for multiple plays. “Evolved Simplicity” = 1 blocking scheme (Sweep) – Run or Pass Second, sweep is flexible in that it can adjust and fit to the strength’s (talents) of personnel from year to year, week to week and game to game. You can run this strong or weak, from 2x2 or 3x1 alignments and with the back or QB as the ball-carrier.

    Hudsonville Eagle Football 2019 3rd/4th Grade Offensive Playbook Cadence On One: The quarterback will scan the defense and the rest of the players will get to their position. QB will say “D own” irst. When he says down all linemen will snap down to a three-point stance. He will then say “Set, Hit” The center will snap the ball on hut and everyone goes. On Quincy (Quick count) : “Down, Set” Huddle Sugar Huddle: This allows us to huddle up and get to the line in a manner that does not allow time for the defense to adjust. We will huddle ive yards off the ball and quickly get aligned. Players will have their butt to the ball. The back row will be the linemen and the front row will be the skill position. Wide receivers will break the huddle after the irst call and after the second call the quarterback call “Break.” Ball T G C G T X HB TB Z W Playcalling We use NFL teams to call our running plays. We do NOT use numbers anymore. Most of us as kids learned play calls that revolved around numbers that would tell us who would get the ball and where the play would go. The play will determine if it is an inside run or outside run. If the city is called then the play will be run to the left. If the mascot is called then play will be run to the right. For example, Baltimore Ravens is our iso play. We want everyone wearing a Hudsonville jersey to know that if we run Ravens from 1st Grade to Varsity knows that we are going to run an iso at the Right linebacker.

  • Pass Interference and Illegal Contact on a Receiver
    Pass Interference and illegal contact on a receiver Pass interference is a judgment call. There can be contact beyond the line of scrimmage that is not pass interference. It is forward-pass interference if any player of A or B who is beyond the neutral zone interferes (to interpose in a way that hinders or impedes: come into collision) with an eligible opponent's opportunity to move toward, catch or bat the pass or hinders an opponent’s vision with out making an attempt to catch, intercept or bat the ball, even though no contact was made. There is no “5-yard bump and run” rule in High School Football. The pass being uncatchable has no bearing on the ruling of pass interference. Both receiver and defender have the right to catch the ball. An offensive receiver on his line may contact the defender across the line from them but, contact must terminate before traveling more than 2 yards down field if the ball is thrown across the line of scrimmage. Offensive receivers need to avoid contact with all defensive players as defenders are eligible receivers also. Any blocking down field by an offensive player is Offensive Pass interference if the ball crosses the line of scrimmage. A defensive player must avoid contact with a receiver who is no longer a potential blocker. So a receiver is a potential blocker until there is a pass. A defender can contact an offensive receiver until the ball is thrown. All plays are running plays until the ball is passed. Pass interference on the defense can only happen in the area of the field where the ball is thrown.

  • American Football Is a Competitive Game with Two Teams Consisting of 11 Players Each on the Field Or Grid Iron
    (M/R 10) American football is a competitive game with two teams consisting of 11 players each on the field or grid iron. The objective of the game is to score points by advancing the ball into the opposing team's end zone. The ball can be advanced by carrying it (a running play) or by throwing it to a teammate (a passing play). Points can be scored in a variety of ways, including carrying the ball over the opponent's goal line, catching a pass thrown over that goal line, kicking the ball through the goal posts at the opponent's end zone, or tackling an opposing ball carrier within his end zone. The team scoring the most points in the allotted time wins the game. Scoring: A touchdown is scored when the football breaks the plain of the opponent’s goal line and it is worth 6 pts. Point After Touchdown (PAT)-can be scored by kicking the ball through the goal posts (1 pt) or run/pass play getting the ball across the goal line (2 pts.) Field Goal-kicking the ball through the goal posts (3 pts.)

  • NFL Time Management: the Role of Timeouts in End-Game Scenarios
    NFL Time Management The Journal of SPORT, 2015, 4(1), 47-64 © Kent State University NFL Time Management: The Role of Timeouts in End-Game Scenarios Bryan Beasley University of San Francisco Ryan Greenwald University of San Francisco Nola Agha University of San Francisco Abstract Time management is an important part of game strategy in the National Football League (NFL), especially in the second half of a game that could be decided by a field goal. This paper determines the in-game factors that contribute to an NFL offensive team’s total time taken to reach field goal range during the final six minutes of regulation in games that are within three points or less. Using data constructed from 2009-2011 NFL regular season games, we find that neither quarterback rating nor the number of All-Pro players affect the speed at a which a team reaches field goal range. However, counter to conventional wisdom, using an offensive timeout during the final drive of the game extends the time it takes to reach field goal range by 22 seconds. On the other hand, the mere availability of an offensive timeout decreases the time it takes to reach field goal range by 19 seconds. Both of these effects are found in games where the offense is behind by 1, 2, or 3 points, but not in tied games. These findings inform in-game coaching decisions for football head coaches. 47 Beasley, Greenwald & Agha Introduction “It’s about strategically giving your team the best chance to win. That’s really the essence of it.
