4 most asked questions about the Spread - ANSWERED!

In this article I will attempt to answer the 4 most asked questions I get about what we do in our offense.


Question 1: On twitter you have talked a lot lately about 12p quickly becoming your favorite personnel package why is that?

12p cleans up the box for your Quarterback and allows RPO's to become 1 on 1 games between wide receivers and cornerbacks. Those are the match-ups we are looking for.

We used two 12p RPO's heavy last year. I want to talk about the one that was apart of my one-word calls!

With 7 lineman you force the defense to put 8 in the box if they intend to stop the run. 8 in the box means that our pre-snap slant or out becomes open and if not we can read our post snap glance. Of course because we want to run the ball we are hoping that the defense decides that 7 defenders is enough in the box.

Understand the picture for RPO's.......

Is the APEX defender attached? ✔️
Great result! Wrong Read by the QB...
Never turn down Pre-Snap reads, they are free get out of jail cards.... 🗃️
S/N love 12p

Question 2: Teams are doing a better good of playing zone stick from 10p how have you adjusted to keep this play working in your offense?

As I answered in Question 1, 12p made the box clearer for us. Here is video of us running Zone-Stick from 12p

If 12p is hard for you to get into, but 11p or 20p isn't then here is one of my favorite ways especially vs 3-4 and 4-2-5 quarters defenses.

Question 3: How are you controlling tempo in your Spread Offense?

1 WORD CALLS!

I tell people all the time, my offense is a No Huddle Offense, that doesn't mean we always go fast. It means we don't huddle.

If we want to increase the tempo at will, this is where the use of one word calls come into play....

Example

Call: Broom
Play: Jet sweep toss to the Boundary
Called: when ball is on the hash closet to our sideline

Whew. I just updated a new article on Red Zone play.

1 tip I will give about the Red Zone is this.

It's Ok to use a RedZone package....

Here is my favorite a single wing formation I got from Rick Darlington we call it Tebow

Using One Word Calls in the Tempo Offense by Coach Banks

Coaches, ask me on twitter from time to time, how do you speed up or do meaningful "check with me" for your offense during the game and/or during practice. One thing that helps in a tempo offense, whether you are full speed No-Huddle or you are no-Huddle and then scan the field is one word calls. The question then is how and when do you use the calls. Here is a brief over view of how we use the calls. We basically take 5 calls into the game, each week and we decide as a staff on Sunday in the manner they will be used.

HAWKS – This is our base run game call. 3rd/4th and short, Inside the 5 on 1st down trying to catch the defense off guard, sometimes off an explosive play to get tempo. It is normally a call like Doubles zone with a comet screen,  i.e., jet motion to trips; zone with a bubble. This sort of play we love on 4th and 1, we usually decide as a staff if we don’t convert this third down we are going for it and already know we are calling Hawks. 

HORNETS – This is usually a pass play that includes a motion and a shift. This is a base pass play you run, like y cross, sail etc.. Find a way to shift and then motion a player and run it. We usually call this play 2 or 3 times max a game.  We catch the defense off guard with something they have not been expecting or have not seen before. Have fun with this one!

BULLET – Is a play we run a lot and we know the defense is expecting it when they see a certain formation. If you are worried that defense might know a signal or a look and can run a play as a 2 way go, call BULLET. Your team knows you are either running zone to the left with a bubble or if you call flip zone to the right with a bubble. Something basic in your offense. Tempo play, no signals involved and gives you a chance to scan the defense and find numbers while not having to go through signals again to change the play. 

BULL – This call is similar to BULLET in that is a check with me play, however The formation stays the same and the run call or blocking is the same, but the pass routes can change. So you can call Trips Right Y Cross unless you say Flip Then it becomes Trips Right Sail. A way run 2 of your preferred pass routes that week against the look you deem best.

COWBOY – Is the last One Word Call and it is not a play. It is a formation. Got a formation that you don’t use often and you want to use it for just this week. We make this our Cowboy call, Unbalanced, double TEs, etc.. Something the kids know when they hear it to line up in it. For us in the playoffs, it was 2 TE Trips. We didn’t normally run this formation but when we did in the playoffs, we put certain kids in at TE that we thought gave us an advantage. 

This is how we used one word calls in our offense.
