FIVE More tips for Offensive Coordinator's to enhance their offense

 

2 Min Drill

We practiced the 2 minute drill 5 minutes a week on Wednesdays' all season, just to use it one time this year. 

But we ran it to perfection when needed. We installed 3 “special” 2 minute offense pass plays and repped 

them as much as we possibly could. We got our 5 best kids on the field in the skill spots and went to work. 

Find plays that work, get the best kids on the field and rep the situations. The spike, the incomplete, the first down. 

Made a difference for us. 

4 Minute Offense

This is something I didn’t focus on enough, but I can tell you we will be doing the same thing. Find a set of three 

plays and work them. Yes, we will still keep our base offense but this will give us a chance to to make sure they

already know the shift and motion to keep possession of the ball and control the clock. 

Walk The Field

We did No Sweat Wednesdays. We walked the field this year as a part of our Wednesday practice. 

What does that mean? We ran 24 plays moving the ball every 4 plays and scripting out the down and distance, 

including coming out, 3rd downs and goal line. I am a firm believer of playing the game before it happens 

and teaching kids football 101.  This allowed us to work in drive starters, backed up, off schedule, penalties, 

and third down calls. I think this was one of the most valuable things we did this year. 

Drive Starters

We had a heavy focus on P&10. As we started to figure out who we were on offense, 

we spent more time getting to our base plays with window dressing and focusing on making sure 

we got 4plus yards on the first play of every drive. This doesn’t have to be a re inventing the 

wheel situation but if you have a play that you are sure could help you, drive starters, a twist on a play that has 

been helpful that season could also be drive starter. Starting drives with successful plays change offenses. 

Goalline Offense

Made a commitment to one formation inside the three. Three plays off of it for the majority of the season 

and add a third going into the playoffs. We were stopped maybe one time. We did run it in the open field as well. 

Below is a sample of the play. We went and found our best players and played them in this formation. 

Nothing is more important than scoring touchdowns. Make the defense adjust to you. 

After install we practiced this 5 minutes a week all season and had great results.

Wide Receivers need to know their ABC’s and A stands for Agility.

That’s right the A stands for agility. Playing Wide Receiver and then becoming a Wide Receiver coach; coaching Wide Receivers is home. It’s where I found a lot of peace. As I grew in this profession, I became a QB guy and while I love it there nothing is like coaching the DirtyBoyz as we called them. I want to talk about three things I focus on teaching the Wide Receivers on a weekly basis and drill during the season, in the next few posts. The ABC’s of WR play and yes, the A stands for Agility!

One of the Best Wide Receiver coaches in the game is Keith Williams, former Nebraska WR coach and he says “Don't master the route, master the break. The routes change, but the breaks stay the same.” So when it comes to agility work, everything is focused on mastering the breaks and getting off the ball.

Agility work starts with the foot cadence. Getting the wide receivers to activate or warm-up their feet is important before we get to the drill of drills red light / green light.

Route Geometry as Williams calls it must be mastered during our red light / green light drill. You know the math teacher in me loves the name as well, LOL. All the breaks on the Route tree are 45, 90 or you run 180 degrees. Master them.

The first clip shows how to coach and work a lot of wideouts on this concept at the same time.  Clip taken from Coach Joe Price III, who is now the Director of Player Personnel for UTSA.

Twitter Link for Video - https://twitter.com/CoachJP3/status/1022252315485581313

This clip shows what the drill looks like in an in-season practice. This clip is brought to us by Coach Pat McCann, wideout coach at Eastern Washington University

The last thing we work on when it comes to agility is releases including Diamond and Foot Fire. Clip here shows Coach Donte Ellington of ACU in Texas walking through his wideouts on release.

TE's = $ in the Passing Game & RPO Clinic Tape

3 Ways Using The Tight End can improve your Passing Game & RPO Clinic Tape

******** IF You are reading this BLOG Post between 11/26/2019 and 12/4/2019, all of my coachtube classes are 65% off for Black Friday and Cyber Monday --> CLICK HERE  ***********

3 Ways we have used the TE to enhance our offense are as follows.

1. Flood is a great concept, very rarely do I run Sprint Out, however this was our most effective Flood Pass, great explosive and great on third and 7+

2. Depending on how much of a weapon your TE is, Trips usually pulls the coverage towards it and that leaves a chance to run weak flood, if teams run what is known as "Steal" coverage.

Combining Smash with Drive, gives us a great weak flood concept...

3. Throwing Verticals has a lot to do with spacing, one of the best ways to formation a defense is using Empty with one or multiple tight ends. Depending on how teams rotate you can get a vertical shot called combined with seam read and shallow allowing for shallow dig as a response or a quick seam shot.

Here is film on all 3 concepts.

RPO Clinic 

Here is film on Study Tape for RPO's.. I have been holding on to this one for a LONG TIME. I think you will find something useful or it will reinforce something that you do!

What I learned from Brent Dearmon at the ATL Glazier Part 2

I know you guys have been waiting on it! So here it goes Part TWO!

This is what he showed us on how to make the "Power" game better.....


#1 - He likes Power Read to the Boundary with TWO Blockers in the boundary!

#2 -  He prefers AT LEAST 3 Blockers to the field when run Power Read to the field!

#3 -  Find ways to OUT FLANK the defense and run Power Read to the field.

#4  - If you see a lot of 4-2-5 2 high defense, one of his favorite RPO's is Power-Seam. The RB uses his Power Read track but is running power.

Inside Zone Variations and Updates....

I know, everyone has sent me a message waiting on Part 2 of my Glazier Clinic Notes from Brent Dearmon and they are coming soon..

This past month I haven't had a chance to update the blog, due to my new position as Head Football Coach at a new school. Busy with Spring Football and licking my chops being able to teach the game from the ground up again!

This doesn't mean, we don't have some great updates for you!

If you subscribe to my YouTube Channel you know I have dropped off some exciting videos this last month!


Inside Zone Bash

The hottest article on this site in a while was The Bash Concept posted by John Konecki!

While like him I love the Bash Concept when paired with Counter. Here is an alternative for those of you who are heavy Inside Zone.

Inside Zone Drills, Formations and Film

If you are a member of our Facebook Group No Huddle Tempo Practice you know the question how do you run Inside Zone is asked a TON!

I am a firm believer in as many double teams as possible.  But here is a presentation on how to install the Inside Zone.

Variation and Window Dressing the IZ in the Spread 

My best selling CoachTube Class is no doubt Using The Stick Route In the RPO Game and I have now followed up with Game Tested RPOS , but everyone is not 100% ready and willing to go full RPOs such as those.

Here is a simple way to add a post-snap pass off of Inside Zone that will give the defense multiple looks! I got this from Joe Osovet and The Bolt Offense

Two Must Read Articles

If you want to become a better offensive coach, I have 2 must read articles that have been recently published!

Read tags in the Shotgun Run Game by Barry Hoover
How to Minimize Football Plays & Maximize Production: #R4 & the Pareto Principle.. by Dub Maddox 

READ BOOKS THIS SUMMER

and if I can only give you 2, I would encourage my favorite author, Joshua Medcalf, Start with Chop Wood, Carry Water and Burn Your Goals!

3 Day Install Part Deaux

How do you install your offense?

I want to update my original article I wrote on our install process. You can read it here.

This update all started with this question on twitter from Coach Grabowski. 

Installing your DEFENSE - which do you use? If you would share an overview that would be great.

— Coach Keith Grabowski 🏈 Let's talk ball (@CoachKGrabowski) June 5, 2018

And the majority  of what I said there hasn't changed.

We still do the rotation so it is really a 9 day install.

1A, 2A, 3A

1B, 2B, 3B

1C, 2C, 3C

Our Breakdown is simple.

The 1st series includes:  Zone (Outside / Inside) , 4 Verts, 3 Verts, Hitches, Slants & Rocket Screen
The 2nd series includes: Power (Read), dart, Spacing, Snag, Curls, Smash, Middle Screen
The 3rd series includes: Counter, Draw, Flood, Stick, GL concepts, RB Screens

So let's talk breakdown of the 1st series deeper.

 So when we think Inside Zone - we know we want to run these variations

• With motion 
• To the TE
• Away from the TE
• H-back
• Bluff
• RPO (pre & post snap)

So when we break down our 3 days we spread this out over each one.

And we do the same thing for each concept that day before designing the install.

Outside Zone

• No motion
• With motion
• Pistol
• RPO

4 Verts

• Out
• Shallow & delay

Hitches - Juke series


I know the install can be done faster and shorter. But this, to me, gives you the chance to build the playbook for that season, get great variation and be precise with what you install.


I thank everyone who has purchased my Coach Tube Class, you can still get 20% off from this blog!

ZONE STICK by Coach Banks!

"Don’t change the play, change the presentation." 
Noel Mazzone

As all of us use the offseason to research changes and updates to our offenses,  I have come to one conclusion, FIND multiple ways to run the same play and not add several new plays. An example of this lies with "America’s RPO"… Zone-Stick!

Here is a clip of the play and three variations.

Play 1: Directly from the 3x1 alignment.

3x1 CLIP at VIMEO

Play 2: Starting in 2x1 pro alignment and using motion to create the 3x1 alignment.

PRO clips at VIMEO

Play 3: Starting in 2x2 and using motion to achieve 3x1 alignment.

2x2 Clip at VIMEO

Play 4: Another way to window dress the 3x1 alignment is to go Trips with the TE away.
