ITHACA UNBALANCED SPREAD OFFENSE -

TERRY HESSBROOK, ITHACA H.S., ITHACA, MI

[email protected]

WHY THE SPREAD OFFENSE?

Creates mismatches - Gets athlete's in spaceDictates the Defense - We know what the defense is going to do.

Defense must dedicate 4-5 defenders to pass defense

Varied TempoThunder - No huddle, slower tempo, check with me

Lightening - Strike fast, use at end of half or end of game

Run / Pass - We want to run the ball - run 2 to 1 pass ratio

Hard to replicate in practice for opponentFlexibility - Any pass, any time!

WHY UNBALANCED SPREAD?

It's unique and unfamiliarMay attack the short side quickly

QB can threaten short side in 1 step, he's our best athlete - Like the odds ofhim making a play

Defense must adjust in the alignment and technique

Now defense has a DE aligned over an offensive guard who can pull,DE has to learn new technique

QB can see to Quick side or short side of field easily.

PRINCIPLES OF THE SPREAD OFFENSE

QB MUST BE DUAL THREATIF A PLAYER CAN'T RUN, HE CAN'T PLAY!

Players must be able to move

O-Line more so then being able to move defenders - They just need to get


2/13

in their way or get run over slowly.

RECEIVERS MUST BLOCK - 6 OR 60 YARDS?!WR's are graded on blocking

If they don't block they don't play

DUMB WILL GET YOU BEAT!Limit the amount of plays for these players. They will end up hurting

your offense with a penalty, mistake etc.
