Offensive Emphasis: 1. Strong Inside Running Game 2. Few Plays/Variety of Formations 3. Attack Entire Field “…take what the defense gives us.”
The Spread Offense: Basic Concepts What is a “spread” offense? • Formation with 3-4 players “spread out” away from the tackle box area • QB either under center, or in the shotgun
Why the Spread? • Puts ball in hands of athletes in space • Minimal looks for OL and QB • Creates simpler looks in running game • Recruiting: easier to get smaller, athletic kids as opposed to big, strong kids • Decision-making: in hands of players • Fatigues defense • FUN!!!
Necessary Components • Attitude: Must be aggressive and physical • Must force defense to “cover-down” • Force defense to defend entire field • Multiplicity. Defense must see many looks • Tempo. We must control it • Must have plan to defeat the blitz
Defense leaving receiver uncovered. Must either throw “uncovered” or the Bubble Screen, otherwise they can overload us with 7 in the box.
All receivers “covered down”, and FS in deep middle. 6 in the box means we can run or throw.
All receivers “covered down”, and 2 safeties playing deep halves. Only 5 in the box, meaning we should run the ball.
No FS in deep middle, indicating blitz. We only have 6 to block 7, meaning QB must check the protection or check to a blitz-beater and throw quick.
Shotgun Offense • Same runs and passes as last year. • Allows us more “option” opportunities with athletic QB
No-Huddle Offense • Allows us to dictate tempo • Storm, Thunder, Lightning • Forces “vanilla” defense • Defense reacting to us, rather than vice-versa • Fatigues defense, especially those with two-way players • Eliminates need to condition at practice
10 min. of conditioning x 4 days (M, T, W, TH) = 40 minutes of conditioning per week OR 5 plays per minute x 40 minutes = 200 reps per week 200 reps per week x 10 weeks = 2000 additional reps per season!!
