The discipline by the Stanford defense leads to a loss of one yard for Washington, as you can see in the GIF below:. So, throughout this chapter, we will first look at the personal character of McVay, mostly told through the stories of people who have been around him. Kittle, who had shifted over to the right before the snap, has no issue finding Goodson out wide, and right tackle Mike McGlinchey is able to climb to cut off Martinez even after getting hung up on his initial combo block. In the Rams 5-step passing game, they had 4 primary 2-man route concepts and 5 primary backside tags 2 of which were already discussed in the quick game section. The deep cross provides the quarterback with a simple three level read. As the Vikings shift their defensive alignment toward the new strength, Wilson does not slide beyond the left tackle's midpoint. If both of these routes were taken away, then the trail route was open the majority of the time as it works behind the slide route and underneath of the crosser. The post route from Justin Jefferson pulled the safety away, leaving the dig route to cross the field against a cornerback already giving up the inside.

The Vikings defense is in base personnel in the play below, which is not a surprise considering the 49ers only have two wide receivers on the field. There will be updates made to the book based on the Super Bowl, so the sections shown here will likely be slightly different when the book is released, but this is very close to what the final product will look like. Defenses nowadays are built to stop 11 personnel, often leaving their nickel on the field for a majority of the snaps. They are more like KC than they are like Arizona, even.

The majority of these plays gave Goff easy completions that took advantage of aggressive defenses who were flowing fast towards mid and outside zone plays. The problem for Minnesota is that even forcing the 49ers to stop tossing the ball didn't change the end result of the play. The type of leader a coach is will show itself in the culture that the leader develops within the team, and the culture is what will ultimately determine how well the team can execute the scheme. The Ducks want a high percentage play that will get yards and keep the defense guessing, and while the Fast Screen is not a new concept, it has become a staple of the Ducks offense. Arizona just traded run stopping for pass stopping. The frogs stomachs will light up goood four or five times afetr the firefly is in the frog's body. Do Register to Post Comments! Hope Springs Eternal for Ducks. Notify of. The rest of the book follows the same structure to what is shown in the preview. Now that the playside tackle is not trying to reach the end, the running back will start his read on the playside defensive tackle. Without setting up the run, they ran play-action. I tried using mostly generic terminology and for the most part, avoiding the specific terminology when referring to plays that the Rams use. That allows offensive guard Kyle Long to pull and fit up on the linebacker who shows in his gap. There are three tight ends and only two safeties to cover them. Log Out.

This preview will contain a few excerpts from the book to hopefully give the reader a good idea of what the book will be like. The outside receiver to the boot side will run an inside-stem corner route than can be flattened out to an out route if capped vertically.

Stanford knows to do this because the receiver goes in motion, so the only way the quarterback could go if he pulls it, is to the left, toward the right defensive end who is dropping back, which he does not want to do. Remember Me. This will create another opportunity for Forte as he can cut the ball back with the end now playing for the reverse. Become a Premium Member Today! Many times, there is an open cut-up lane behind the backside defensive tackle but this would require a 3 rd read from the running back, therefore, he would not be able to get to this area before it is closed by backside pursuit. Leak linemen out on a screen that way and set up four big guys to block one small guy. This allows the Stanford running back to get outside the tackles, where he beats the USC linebackers to the boundary. The counter boot play was first ran in week 16 against the Cardinals and quickly became a staple of their offense over their last 2 regular season games and playoff run. As I mentioned earlier, the mid zone blocking scheme is the same as outside zone for everyone except for the playside offensive tackle. Gear up to stop the run? Goodson 93 are average athletes, at best, for the linebacker position. While the Ducks can attack a defense in many ways on any given down, they will often utilize the Stick c oncept in the short passing game for a much needed first down. Microsoft Visio is available through Microsoft. You are commenting using your WordPress. The success of these plays will prevent the defense from selling out to stop the run, creating a compounding effect for the offense. LSU was able to get a safety in man coverage against a talented wide receiver with space to work on both sides, a matchup that should create separation in the end zone every time. If the defensive end maintains his outside leverage, the back will then shift his eyes to the defensive tackle. The result of this play is an yard gain on first down, an extremely successful first down play. For should the enemy strengthen his van, he will weaken his rear; should he strengthen his rear, he will weaken his van; should he strengthen his left, he will weaken his right; should he strengthen his right, he will weaken his left.

Numerical weakness comes from having to prepare against possible attacks; numerical strength, from compelling our adversary to make these preparations against us. Wilson is again blocked out by Staley and Kendricks ends up getting picked off by fullback Kyle Juszczyk who in all honesty was looking for Kendricks in the first clip from earlier but Kendricks never pressed him because he was trying to fit over the top. Defenses nowadays are built to stop 11 personnel, often leaving their nickel on the field for a majority of the snaps. With the point receiver of the bunch pulling the cornerback towards the pylon, that left the safety responsible for both in-breaking routes from the bunch. As was the case with nearly the entire Rams running game, they exclusively ran mid zone from under center. So, Oregon needs to take advantage of this. Part of the improvement in scheme and the development of Burrow and his weapons was new passing game coordinator Joe Brady. Analyzing Game Film in Footballs Zone Offense Play Action Pass Schemes 2nd edition Reviews As the play develops both the defensive end and corner feed up into the run game and allows Garoppolo to have his pick of Dwelley or Juszczyk. With a full offseason to work with Jimmy G, the world will expect big things next September. Marshall stemmed the safety towards the inside before crossing face to the corner of the end zone. However, in doing so, Eric Kendricks 54 is left trying to fit the gap inside the tackle all the way over from his position over the center, so the running back cuts it up into that gap -- the same gap Wilson fit in the first clip from earlier. Against man coverage, both the return and corner routes give the offense good options to defeat man coverage. Most defenses also typically place the 3- technique to the strongside of the formation, so they would normally get to run this play towards the 1-technique. Log Out.

  • Coaching Tips and Drills
    Coaching Tips and Drills Overview The purpose of this manual is to provide ideas, drills and activities for the coach to use at practice to help the players enhance their skills for game day. Strategy • Decide what style of game you want to play and plan your plays accordingly. There is only so much you can teach the players in the time you have, so keeping to a reoccurring theme can make it easier to understand what you are asking your players to do. Example: Play for first downs, not touchdowns. This might be accomplished by using short passes and running plays. Hydration Tips • Pre-hydrate • Players should drink 16 oz of fluid first thing in the morning of a practice or game • Players should consume 8-16 oz of fluid one hour prior to the start of the practice or game • Players should consume 8-16 oz of fluid 20 minutes prior to the start of the practice or game • Hydrate • Players should have unlimited access to fluids (sports drinks and water) throughout the practice or game • Players should drink during the practice or game to minimize losses in body weight but should not over drink • All players should consume fluids during water breaks. Many players will say that they are not thirsty. However, in many cases, by the time they realize that they are thirsty they are already dehydrated or on their way to be dehydrated. Make sure all your players are getting the proper fluids Defensive Tips • Pulling the flag • Watch the ball carrier’s hips as opposed to his or her feet, or head • Stay in front of the ball carrier • Stay low and lunge at the flag • If you grab anything but the flag, let go immediately to avoid a penalty • Playing Zone Defense • Each defensive back is responsible for an area as opposed to a player • This will enable you them to keep an eye on the receiver and the quarterback at the same time • As receivers come through your area, try to anticipate where the QB wants to throw the ball.

Seay III - 2 - INTRODUCTION The Wild Bunch celebrates its sixth birthday in 2006. This revised playbook reflects the lessons learned during that period by Wild Bunch coaches on three continents operating at every level from coaching 8-year-olds to semi-professionals. The biggest change so far in the offense has been the addition in 2004 of the Rocket Sweep series (pp. 62-72). A public high school in Chicago and a semi-pro team in New Jersey both reached their championship game using the new Rocket-fueled Wild Bunch. A youth team in Utah won its state championship running the offense practically verbatim from the playbook. A number of coaches have requested video resources on the Wild Bunch, and I am happy to say a DVD project is taking shape which will feature not only game footage but extensive whiteboard analysis of the offense, as well as information on its installation.

  • The Passing Tree Is the Number System Used for the Passing Routes
    The Passing Tree is the number system used for the passing routes. All routes are the same for ALL receivers. The route assignment depends on the position of the receiver and how it is called at the line of scrimmage. This system has all ODD number routes flowing toward the center of the field, while EVEN number routes are toward the sideline. All routes are called from LEFT to RIGHT. Inside Tight Ends, Eligible Receivers (I) , are also called from LEFT to RIGHT. The above passing tree assumes the quarterback is on the left side of the route runner labeled. Below are the routes used in this playbook: ROUTE NAMES: #1 – ARROW/ SLANT. Slant 45 degrees toward middle. Expect the ball quickly. #3 – DRAG. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward middle.. #5 – CURL ROUTE/ BUTTON HOOK. Drive out 5-7 yards, slow and gather yourself, curl in towards QB, establish a wide stance and frame yourself. Find an open or void area #7 – POST. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep post. Opposite of Flag/ Corner Route . #9 – STREAK/ FLY. Can be a straight sprint or "go" route off the line of scrimmage. #8 – HITCH N’ GO. Drive out 5-7 yards, curl away from QB, show hand fake (sell it!, and then roll out and up the field.) #6 – CORNER. Drive out 8 yards, show hand fake and look back at QB, then sprint to deep corner. #4 - OUT. Drive out 5 yards then drag 90 degrees toward sideline.

  • The “Loco Punt Formation” Article By: Jared Van Acker, Head Football Coach, Galax, Va
    THE “LOCO PUNT FORMATION” ARTICLE BY: JARED VAN ACKER, HEAD FOOTBALL COACH, GALAX, VA I want to first off give thanks to American Football Monthly and the extensive knowledge on the game of football that is published within its pages every month. I look forward to the day when the new issue reaches my doorsteps to see the new and innovative minds/trends in the greatest game in the world. I have been the Head Football coach at Galax High School for the last two years and like all coaches I stress the importance of all three phases of the game of football: offense, defense, and special teams. I believe that one of the most important phases is special teams and unfortunately many coaches don’t emphasize its importance until it bites them in the backside. A couple of years ago while I was a young assistant coach, I put some of my own thoughts into a punt scheme that I used while I played at Quincy University, now an NAIA school in Quincy, IL. Like all coaches across America we are “thieves” when it comes to our ideas and schemes and I devised a fun and effective punt formation that I call the “Loco Punt”. This punt formation has been a very effective tool in the punt game for our football team and blends a solid spread punt scheme with an arsenal of fakes to keep the pressure off the punter and to allow for a successful punt and coverage. With this scheme we have been able to change the landscape of many football games! In the two years that we have used the “Loco Punt” we have had only one punt blocked and numerous first-down conversions from the array of fakes that we use.
