Multiple West CoastMultiple West CoastSpread OffenseSpread Offense Derived from Urban Meyer, although most of the

terminology is from Sid Gilman / Joe Gibbs / ColoradoState University (Sonny Lubick)

Passing offense: Single-side receiver across – backsroutes are called – protection is called

Run game is set up with Series Number based onnumber of backs and position of backs – helps the linewith line-calls and blocking schemes

Formations are called with descriptive one-syllablenames for easy learning and repeating

Everyone is told what to do in the play call (nomemorizing)

Each ‘motion’ receiver / back is given a ‘tag’ call to go inmotion – we motion into the called formation

OverviewOverview Introduction Philosophy of the system Play-calling Philosophy How the run game is set up How the passing game is set up Basic “Spread” pass protection Incorporating two separate sets of

progressions The formations system How motions are called How shifts are called How the play-calls are made Practice / Installation Philosophy How the call sheet is set up and used

IntroductionIntroduction As a teaching philosophy, this is a complete

offensive system that is very logical and simpleto comprehend by both players and coaches

This system allows you to spend quality timeteaching fundamentals, because you don’t haveto spend an inordinate amount of time runningplays to teach the system as well as specificplays to the players

Once the language of the system is learned andinstalled, the possible play-calls and formationsare virtually endless

Introduction (cont)Introduction (cont)

Easy to understand and easy for players andcoaches to learn

Simple to install in a short period of time Allows a team to make adjustments at

anytime during a game Extremely flexible

Note of Interest – It turns out that this is veryclose variation of Sid Gilman’s system. JoeGibbs (New Redskins Head Coach) runs asimilar system – Extremely flexible for shifts,motions and multiple formations!

Philosophy of the SystemPhilosophy of the System Use a system where a coach can teach efficiently with

high quality instruction – teaching becomes a priority Create a precision-timed passing game with explosive

capabilities, i.e. vertically push the ball downfield– We also have to go into any given season being able

to beat the bump & run defender consistently – weuse our own innovative techniques

Be able to physically run the ball effectively by double-teaming at the point of attack (the inside and outsidezones are also included)

Have the capability to make immediate adjustmentsduring a game

Create an offense that is hard to prepare for because itis so multifaceted

Use multiple formations and a multitude of plays Take what the defense gives us most all of the time Spend quality time teaching individual technique every

practice

Play Calling PhilosophyPlay Calling Philosophy Make sure the players are fundamentally sound Spread the ball around to many players Call plays that get the players in a position to

succeed – if they make big plays, it’s a plus Put the ball where the defense is vulnerable Only audible when absolutely necessary Do everything we can to put the defense on their

heels Keep the ball from the defense if necessary (a ball-

control offense) Push the ball downfield and score points (if you

decide you have to get into a shootout)

Take a width step and then pressthe 6 (7) hole at the Tight-end’sinside leg.

You get one cut only and then pushthe ball vertically.

You have two reads; the point ofattack and a secondary read incertain cases

Your 1st read is the 1st downlineman from the outside – in.Linebackers are not down linemen.

You go to your second read if your1st read goes outside your blocker.

Take a width step and then pressthe 2 (3) hole at the Guard’soutside leg.

You get one cut only and then pushthe ball vertically or roll it back.

You have two reads; the point ofattack and a secondary read.

Your 1st read is the 1st downlineman outside the Center –Defenders shading the Center arenot your read.

If your read doesn’t move or goesoutside, go behind him.

The angle is sometimes tough forthe RB, but he has to press the holein a hurry so the backside doesn’tmake the tackle.

The QB is now accounting for thebackside end by reading him. If theend’s shoulders are perpendicular tothe LOS, the QB keeps the football.

The ability of the QB can determinewhether he (QB) can take chancesrunning the football even if the enddoesn’t fully commit to chasingdown the RB.

40 Series (Back on left-side)

46 Stretch

Outside Zone (Stretch)I. The ball carrier has two reads; a point of attack read,

and a secondary read in certain cases.II. Your 1st read is the first down-lineman from the

outside, in. Linebackers are not down linemen.III. You go to your second read if that man (your 1st read)

goes outside your blocker. Ask yourself “is your read’shelmet inside or outside your blocker?”

IV. If you go to your secondary read, that read becomesthe next down-lineman in, which will be double-teamed.

V. You only get to make one cut; then you must push theball vertically up-field.

VI. Whether you are wrong or right on your read, you makea choice and then must push the ball up-field.

Read the lineman’s helmet. If it’s on the inside, go outside.If it’s on the outside, go inside

Rule For the ball-carrier

Goal: To make the End show us right now exactly where thefootball is going.Right Tackle1.) You must stretch his outside while grabbing his insidewith your inside hand. You are doing this so he does notstretch you wide, and then throw you wide and then slide upinside.

a. This must be drilled constantly!2.) You must control his inside with your inside arm and makehim make a decision on going inside or going outside rightnow. We don’t want the defender just standing there – wehave got to move him one direction or the other.

Goal: To double team the back’s number 2 read which in this case is theTackle (DT) so that we can control him should the End go outside.Predominantly, the defensive tackle will be a better athlete / football playerthan the offensive guard. We will double the DT as long as he doesn’t move.We need to help our guard with the center. Now the backside Guard willattack the Nose.Right Guard1.) Your target area is the outside half of the DT. You will have help on theinside with your Center (DEN call). You will block the outside half of the DTand knock him off the ball. You are not worried about him coming inside atall.Center1.) Your target area is the tackle’s (DT) helmet. You will drive him until hedisappears and /or then look for the backer plugging.

40 Series (Back on Left-side)

42 Read

Inside Zone (Read)I. The ball carrier has two reads; a point of attack read, and asecondary read in certain cases.II. Your 1st read is the first down-lineman outside the center. Ifthere is a man on or shading the center, he is NOT the read.III. You only get to make one cut; then you must push the ballvertically up-field.IV. Whether you are wrong or right on your read, you make a choiceand then must push the ball up-field.V. If the backside end is inside the backside tackle, you will roll itall the way backside.

If your 1st read goes out or doesn’t move go behind him.It now becomes a “roll-back” play. You only get to make one cut!

Rule For the ball-carrier

Tight Zone (Read)1) You must give the ball carrier a clean read every time.2) If you have a combination block and are the inside lineman,your aiming point is to put your helmet on the defender’shelmet.3) If you have a combination block and are the inside linemanand have not made contact with the down lineman after yourfirst step, its now time to climb to the second level – the ball isnow rolling back behind you.4) If you have a combination block and are the outside lineman,you have the outside have of the defender. If he goes outside,you now must lock you backside hand because your help isclimbing and the ball is rolling back behind you.

Special Situation:Special Situation:Throwing From a BalancedThrowing From a BalancedFour or FiveFour or Five--receiver Setreceiver Set

When we get into a balanced, four or five-receiver set such as Dallas, Houston, or ourIsland Package, and we are running “mirroredroutes”, we will call the routes as if they are astrong-side route combination call (the insidereceiver’s route will be called first, followed bythe outside receiver’s route).

An example of this type of play-call would be“Dallas Right, 39 F Stab Queen”. Theprotection call (Queen) will alert the linementhat the play called is a pass play, and not athirty-series run play.

“Dallas Right, 39 F Stab Queen”

Pass Pro Line Calls

Basic pass protection

“Jack” and “Queen” calls – if we wantto get both backs out and still

employ a six-man protection scheme.

Direction of release by the backsDirection of release by the backs

The pass protection calls tell the backs whichside the release from

This allows for a great deal of diversity in theoffense

Examples– Trex 839 F – V Queen: The back will line to the strong

side and release to the strong side due to theprotection call

– Crush 526 H Chase Jack: The back will line up to thequick side and release to the quick side due to theprotection call

Example: Trex Right 839 F – V Queen

Example: Crush Right 526 H Chase Jack

JackJack

A “Jack” call free releases the Backon the Strong-side.– The other back will check release to the

“Quick-side.” The Center, Strong-side Guard, and

Tackle will block to the strong-side. The Quick-side Guard and Tackle will

block to the Quick-side, and the backwill check release to the Quick-side.

QueenQueen

A “Queen” call free releases the Backon the Quick-side.– The other back will check release to the

“Strong-side.” The Center, Quick-side Guard, and

Tackle will block to the Quick-side. The Strong-side Guard and Tackle

will block to the Strong-side, and theback will check release to the Strong-side.

Other protections

“Gone” gets both backs out of thebackfield using a five-man protection

scheme. You need to build in HOTroutes to one side of the formation,

while blocking three to the other side.“Gone” is just “Queen” Protection for

the linemen

The Formation SystemThe Formation System

When counting both right and leftformations, we have over 100 distinctformations that we can run plays from.– But because we are telling each player (X, Y,

Z, H, and F) specifically what to do, we canmove players to any of 5 different positions,giving us the illusion of over 500 differentformations.

This gives us the ability to take advantage ofspecific match-ups.

EXAMPLE:– We can move our X receiver to the F position, and

have one of our best receivers coming out of thebackfield matched up with a linebacker.

– We can move our F back to the X position, giving usa good blocker on the perimeter matched upagainst a cornerback.

We will script the first 15-plays with 15different formations / (motions)

We can tell what formations they havenot had time to prepared for, and thenattack them with those formations

Because of our stable terminology, wecan run the same play out of a multitudeof different formations giving us adistinct advantage over our opponents

TACKLE OVER FORMATION

ShiftingShifting Shifting is a tactic used to either confuse the

opposition, or force them to run a “base”defense, by showing a particular offensive set,and then radically changing that set before thesnap of the ball.

Shifting (Cont.) 2Shifting (Cont.) 2

We will call a predetermined shift by calling theformation that we want to shift from first,followed by the formation we will be shifting to,second. An example would be “Near, DallasRight”. In this case, the term “Near” would tellthe players to line up in a “Near Left” formation,and then shift to a “Dallas Right” formationwhen the QB yells “Go”.

Near, Dallas Right

Shifting (Cont.) 3Shifting (Cont.) 3

Another example would be in the play-call“Dance – Maui Right”. In this case, theeligible receivers will line up in a “DanceLeft” formation, and then sprint to a“Maui Right” formation when the QB yells“Go”.

Hum – Dallas Left – 53 Read – on white, on white –ready break.– “Hum” would be the motion.– “Dallas” would be the formation we want to end up in.– “54 Read” tells the back to line up on the right side (5)

and to run to the 3 hole and the blocking scheme is“Read”.

– “On white” tells everyone the snap count is on two. If a player forgot the snap count at the line of scrimmage, he

would say “check – check” and he would be told “white”.

– H post tells the H receiver to run a post route.– Because the F did not hear a route called for him,

he will automatically run a Swing route.– Queen tells the line to zone the quick-side and man

the strong-side. This will release the back on thequick-side into the pattern right away. Theremaining back on the strong side will check releaseinto the pattern.

– “On blue” tells everyone the snap count is on three. If we wanted to audible to a different play, blue is the live

Practice / Installation PhilosophyPractice / Installation Philosophy

Teach incrementally rather than solely using a holisticapproach.– Teach each player individual mechanics and techniques.

QB – Drops, WR – Routes, RB – Paths and Routes, Line –Run block / Pass protections.

Once each player knows exactly what to do, bring groupstogether – then the entire offense together.

This saves a great deal of time down the road and leadsto better execution of the offense.– Start with 40 minutes of individual teaching time, which can

be reduced to 15 minutes as the season progresses.

Practice / InstallationPractice / InstallationPhilosophyPhilosophy

This is the foundation of this offense. Once each player knows exactly where to be and what to

do based on what he is told in the play-call, the play willbe executed as it was intended every time.– Using only the holistic approach (just running plays and

coaching “on the run”) will lead to individual player breakdowns,and the offense will never be precise. For example, a receiver will run the same route at different

depths, or the QB will take different drops for the samepass.

This will cut down drastically on the productivity of theoffense.
