  1. Morrison Special Teams Finding Hidden Yardage (& Points) in the Special Teams Cory Bielema Head Football Coach Morrison High School cory.bielema@morrisonschools.org

  2. Special Teams Philosophy Force opponent to crack under pressure. Force opponent to spend extra time in practice. Force them to execute perfectly on not losing the game. Expect to make big plays. We set a high standard of expectation for our performance and effort level. Our philosophy is based on an aggressive approach to put pressure on our opponent in all phases of the football game.

  3. KICKOFF

  4. “4 man cover” • Coverage keeps the ball in front & inside. • “4 hand tap” – no 4 hands, coverage team repeats. • No hand on returner = cover the next one. • Tapped Returners go to coverage line, Tapping coverage players go to return line. • Find coverage players • Good summer/shells drill • Excellent conditioning

  5. “3 on 3 Wave” • Find players who can & will do… • Be Physical 4. Fight of blockers • Block on the move on the run • Run hard with the ball 5. Tackle on the run • Coach chooses teams of three. • Both groups have turns of Off. & Def. • After each player runs the ball, sides switch. Game over after 6 total runs.

  6. 8 seconds to rally around the correct cone. • C whistles & points to cone 3 seconds after kick – players 2-9 do NOT run to the ball. • #1 & #10 always sprint to the cone on their side • – they are responsible for ball retrieval “Rodeo Drill” • Enhances lane responsibilities • Excellent conditioning

  7. KICK RETURN

  8. Triple Option Kick Return • Align front 5 along the 50 yard line (Use tallest player to help conceal the QB) • Align Ends on the 35. One should have good blocking skills, other should have speed. • Align the QB on the 30. He needs speed and great hands. • Alignment of the Returners will vary.

  9. Triple Option Return–Left Wing Return • The front 5 must defend against onside kick first. • LG, C, RG, RT sprint to approximately the 30 yard line. • They center the formation in front of the QB - form a wedge & protect him.

  10. Triple Option Return–Left Wing Return • LT swings wide left 7 loops back. • His job is to attack the 1st man to react to the reverse. • LE is responsible for kicking out the sideline defender.

  11. Triple Option Return–Left Wing Return • After the kick, QB turns toward deep backs, slowly works his way toward the ball. • The RE works to get to the same depth as the QB. • The QB’s responsibility is to receive the ball & hand it off to the RE

  12. Triple Option Return–Left Wing Return • The Right returner is responsible for anyone who reacts off the wedge. • The Left returner does the same for the other side. • Should L or R receive the kick, M would trade responsibilities.

  13. M’s path should bring him to the right side of QB. • When M is 5 yards away, QB yells “Go” signally the front line to move wedge left. • To ensure the handoff is not forward, M hands the ball off after passing QB & extends his arm backward. • M continues his path after handoff – should look like a middle wedge return.

  14. QB now hands the ball to the RE approaching from his left. • The RE should be at full speed at the mesh. • QB continues fake to the right sideline • Timing and precision are essential! • Sell the wedge.
