Game Tested RPOS: Explosive Plays & Quick Game Attachments

During Wednesday’s practice, Newton head coach Terrance Banks said that he knew what he wanted to do regarding his two-man quarterback race, but wasn’t ready to share it. We found out Friday night as senior LT Stowers trotted out for the first series of the game, and stayed in throughout, and what a difference it made, starting with the Rams’ first series of the game. It was a 77-yard scoring drive that took all of 47 seconds. The pace looked good. His throws were crisp. It looked as if Newton had been working on the execution of that specific play during the entire bye week and preparation week.

THIS was the start of an article from a game we played this season, when things started clicking! It wasn't that we had been working on a "specific" play all week, it was that our quarterback in his first full time start finally started to understand  HIS options in the RPO game!

XO Clinics all month of February posted a play a day. One of the plays that shared was one of our best RPOs from the past 2 seasons.

We have been able to create explosive plays in our offense by advancing the teaching of our RPOs.

By giving our quarterbacks a pre-snap answer and post-snap answer. Also by attaching quick game tags such as double slants and seam-fin, we have been able to eliminate the need to call quick game or a run play. We are now about to do both, RPOs make up approximately 40% of our offense.

To understand how we got here, let me take you back eight years to the first RPO we used in our offense and still is one of my favorites, go-to plays and crutch.

Stick-Draw, this is what it looked like then.

We still run this play, especially in the 3rd and medium range and if you have a Mobile QB it is great from Empty variations.

From there our RPO Game expanded to what is the #1 ran RPO today, Zone-Stick we still run it and use several variations. Examples are shown here..

I want to share with you a few of our game tested RPOs that you should look at adding to your catalog these plays have really CHANGED and expanded what we do and helped us create more explosive plays plus streamlined our passing package.

My Favorite play of 2014: Coach Banks

Coach Terrance Banks joins us again for a guest post!

Twitter @tbanks1906

Many of us have fallen in love with the Snag concepts, 3-man snag or the Andrew Coverdale mesh (Coach  Coverdale's original concept can be found here) is one of the most used plays in offensive football today. 2 man snag, used heavily be UCLA offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone has quickly become a new favorite of many coaches, mine as well.

However, I have a variation that I fell in love with this season, that is the Snag, Wheel, Swing especially inside the redzone and primarily to the boundary. Without further ado, clips.

Then the clips

Coach Mo notes...This is our first post of the year. I can't believe we have been away this long! I have to retrain and discover how to insert HUDL clips directly into the post.
HOORAY I GOT IT!!
