Probably the question I am asked the most and definitely have
been over this break is how do we practice this offense. First let me say each
year is a learning experience in itself. My practice schedule philosophy has
been influenced by Josh Herring, Dub Maddox and John Konceki. Men who have either won a state championship
or played for it multiple times. Included is our No Sweat Wednesday practice
that we started to use a few years ago. So, let’s start there, here is the
practice script for Wednesday’s.
We go for about 75 minutes on Wednesday. We start off with
Punt Team because to me Punt is the most important Special Team in the game
followed by PAT. We do 5 minutes of best on best Red Zone 7 on 7 from the 13
in. We spend 25 minutes in individual thought we are 1.5 Platoon team we find a
way to work it out if kids need reps on both sides, but on Wednesday they go mainly with there primary position group.
On offense we spend 5 minutes going over handoffs with RB’s.
Those handoff’s include under center, jet sweep, etc. From there we do our
screen drill, which you have heard me talk about and post the clip of before. You
can watch it again HERE. We finish Indy with our Zone Read Drill with various
Bubble Screens. You can also watch that video HERE.
OL/DL walk through Inside Run Fits. While they are doing that,
we are going Goal line 1 on 1’s. Outside WR’s focus on slants and fades. Inside
WR’s focus on corner and fades. RB run outs and angle routes.
We finish with ten minutes of team, follow by the 2-minute
drill.
Because we have a few players that go both ways we practice
like a 2-platoon team.
Monday is an offensive focus so we get an hour (55 minutes)
of practice and Tuesday is defensive so offense only gets 40 minutes.
We begin both days with best on best competition. We either
do coming out of the end zone, ball starts on the 2 or Goal Line starting on
the 5.
Monday
We spend 15 minutes doing Indy. The Quarterbacks and Running
Backs get together. We then do RPO Drill
(10), where we work on mesh with the RB and throwing the post snap manipulation.
Our offensive lineman takes this time to go through pods working on run game
combos vs the defense. We do have Half-line pass concepts (15) working on PUP
with half of the OL and DL as well to simulate rush and QB escape techniques
followed by Team (15).
Tuesday
Skill players go through install/team take off (8), then we
move to Pass Under Pressure (9) , followed by perimeter drill with WR and DBs
working various bubble screens and lineman working 1 on 1’s (8). Then we follow
with team with a focus on 3rd downs on Tuesday.
