Spread OffenseSpread Offense Derived from Urban Meyer, although most of the

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

Passing offense: Single-side receiver across

backs routes are called protection is called Run game is set up with Series Number based

on number of backs and position of backs helps the line with line-calls and blockingschemes

Formations are called with descriptive one-

syllable names for easy learning and repeating Everyone is told what to do in the play call (no

memorizing) Each motion receiver / back is given a tag call

to go in motion we motion into the calledformation

IntroductionIntroduction As a teaching philosophy, this is a

complete offensive system that is verylogical and simple to comprehend by bothplayers and coaches

This system allows you to spend quality

time teaching fundamentals, because youdont have to spend an inordinate amountof time running plays to teach the systemas well as specific plays to the players

Once the language of the system islearned and installed, the possible play-calls and formations are virtually endless


5/151

Introduction (cont)Introduction (cont)

Easy to understand and easy for playersand coaches to learn

Simple to install in a short period of time

Allows a team to make adjustments atanytime during a game Extremely flexible

Note of Interest It turns out that this isvery close variation of Sid Gilmans

system. Joe Gibbs (New Redskins HeadCoach) runs a similar system Extremelyflexible for shifts, motions and multipleformations!


6/151

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

with high quality instruction teaching becomesa priority

Create a precision-timed passing game withexplosive capabilities, i.e. vertically push the balldownfield We also have to go into any given season

being able to beat the bump & run defenderconsistently we use our own innovativetechniques

Be able to physically run the ball effectively bydouble-teaming at the point of attack (the insideand outside zones are also included)

Have the capability to make immediateadjustments during a game

Create an offense that is hard to prepare forbecause it is so multifaceted

Use multiple formations and a multitude of plays Take what the defense gives us most all of the

time


7/151

Play Calling PhilosophyPlay Calling Philosophy

Make sure the players are fundamentallysound

Spread the ball around to many players Call plays that get the players in a position to

succeed if they make big plays, its 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 (aball-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-endsinside leg.

You get one cut only and thenpush the 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 downlinemen.

You go to your second read ifyour 1st read goes outside yourblocker.

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

You get one cut only and thenpush the ball vertically or roll itback.

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

Your 1st read is the 1st downlineman outside the Center Defenders shading the Centerare not your read.

If your read doesnt move or goesoutside, go behind him.


17/151

The angle is sometimes tough forthe RB, but he has to press thehole in a hurry so the backsidedoesnt make the tackle.

The QB is now accounting for thebackside end by reading him. Ifthe ends shoulders areperpendicular to the LOS, the QBkeeps the football.

The ability of the QB candetermine whether he (QB) can

take chances running the footballeven if the end doesnt fullycommit to chasing down the RB.

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 (your1st read) goes outside your blocker. Askyourself is your reads helmet inside or outsideyour blocker?

IV. If you go to your secondary read, that read

becomes the next down-lineman in, which willbe double-teamed.V. You only get to make one cut; then you must

push the ball vertically up-field.VI. Whether you are wrong or right on your read,

Read the linemans helmet. If its on the inside, go outsideIf its on the outside, go inside

Rule For the ball-carrier

Goal: To make the End show us right now exactlywhere the football is going.

Right Tackle

1.) You must stretch his outside while grabbing hisinside with your inside hand. You are doing this so he

does not stretch you wide, and then throw you wideand then slide up inside.

a. This must be drilled constantly!

2.) You must control his inside with your inside armand make him make a decision on going inside or

going outside right now. We dont want the defenderjust standing there we have got to move him one

Goal: To double team the backs number 2 read which in this caseis the Tackle (DT) so that we can control him should the End gooutside. Predominantly, the defensive tackle will be a better athlete/ football player than the offensive guard. We will double the DT as

long as he doesnt move. We need to help our guard with thecenter. Now the backside Guard will attack the Nose.Right Guard1.) Your target area is the outside half of the DT. You will have helpon the inside with your Center (DEN call). You will block theoutside half of the DT and knock him off the ball. You are not

worried about him coming inside at all.Center1.) Your target area is the tackles (DT) helmet. You will drive himuntil he disappears and /or then look for the backer plugging.

center. If there is a man on or shading the center, he isNOT the read.III. You only get to make one cut; then you must push theball vertically up-field.IV. Whether you are wrong or right on your read, you make

a choice and then must push the ball up-field.V. If the backside end is inside the backside tackle, youwill roll it all the way backside.

If your 1st read goes out or doesnt move go behind him.

It now becomes a roll-back play. You only get to make o

Rule For the ball-carrier


24/151

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 insidelineman, your aiming point is to put your helmet on thedefenders helmet.3) If you have a combination block and are the inside

lineman and have not made contact with the downlineman after your first step, its now time to climb to thesecond level the ball is now rolling back behind you.4) If you have a combination block and are the outsidelineman, you have the outside have of the defender. If

he goes outside, you now must lock you backside handbecause your help is climbing and the ball is rollingback behind you.

The Formation SystemThe Formation System

When counting both right and leftformations, we have over 100distinct formations that we can run

plays from.But because we are telling each player

(X, Y, Z, H, and F) specifically what todo, we can move players to any of 5

different positions, giving us theillusion of over 500 differentformations.


92/151

This gives us the ability to takeadvantage of specific match-ups.

EXAMPLE:

We can move our X receiver to the F position,and have one of our best receivers coming

out of the backfield matched up with alinebacker.

We can move our F back to the X position,

giving us a good blocker on the perimetermatched up against a cornerback.


93/151

We will script the first 15-plays with15 different formations / (motions)

We can tell what formations they

have not had time to prepared for,and then attack them with thoseformations

Because of our stable terminology,we can run the same play out of a

multitude of different formationsgiving us a distinct advantage overour opponents

ShiftingShifting

Shifting is a tactic used to either confusethe opposition, or force them to run abase defense, by showing a particularoffensive set, and then radically changingthat set before the snap of the ball.


105/151

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

We will call a predetermined shift bycalling the formation that we want to shiftfrom first, followed by the formation we

will be shifting to, second. An examplewould be Near, Dallas Right. In thiscase, the term Near would tell theplayers to line up in a Near Left

formation, and then shift to a DallasRight formation when the QB yells Go.

Teach incrementally rather than solely using aholistic approach. 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, bringgroups together then the entire offensetogether.

This saves a great deal of time down the road and

leads to better execution of the offense. Start with 40 minutes of individual teaching time, whichcan be reduced to 15 minutes as the seasonprogresses.

Practice / 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 will be executed as it was intended

every time. Using only the holistic approach (just running playsand coaching on the run) will lead to individualplayer breakdowns, and the offense will never beprecise.

For example, a receiver will run the same route atdifferent depths, or the QB will take different dropsfor the same pass.

This will cut down drastically on the productivity ofthe offense.
