Throughout this video, Martin draws up his best zone runs for the inside, outside, and read looks. He brings in video footage to teach how to improve blocking schemes and who to read. Coach Martin diagrams the blocking scheme, how the running back needs to run, and who the quarterback is supposed to read to ensure a strong play.

Coach Martin's Offensive Philosophy

Martin explains his philosophy of offense and how to teach it to athletes. He explains why it's important that his offense be multiple in its appearance to the defense and in its ability to adapt to how the defense defends. However, his offense must also be simple enough for players to learn and be able to execute. In this section, you'll:

• Coaching points to teach the seam, hitch, slant, stick, out, bubble, and spot routes within Martin's RPO package, including the quarterback's read progression and mechanics.
• How to use motion with the bubble concept to create a triple option concept.
• How you can adjust blocking schemes on the inside zone and stretch play to change the read key.

Traditional Play Action Passes to Complement Your Offense

Coach Martin knows that you might not want to use RPOs all the time, so he breaks down his play action passes that are designed to give opportunities for big plays. You'll see:

• The read progression of the quarterback on each play.
• How to teach the quarterback to throw to intermediate routes if the defense doesn't react to the run fake as expected.
• Various route combinations and pass protection rules.

Washington State Head Coach Mike Leach is widely known for developing the "Air Raid" offense with Hal Mumme. In 2013, only his second season at Washington State, Coach Leach's team ranked fourth in the nation in passing offense and went to a bowl game for the first time in 10 years. At Texas Tech, his offense led the nation in passing six times in 10 seasons.

In this informative, dynamic presentation, Coach Leach teaches you how to structure and efficiently run your practices by focusing on how to better teach and more effectively implement multi-faceted play. Coach Leach's ideas will:

• ensure that your practices are allocating sufficient time to the necessary skills and drills
• improve practice tempo
• maximize practice repetitions

First, Coach Leach discusses how and when to implement a new play. He goes on to explain that although he will tweak and adjust plays for different opponents, success is found in drilling each play more specifically or being more precise when teaching particular techniques.

Referencing his signature "mesh" play, Coach Leach takes you through the specifics and philosophies necessary to build a potent "any down play" that can be the foundation and signature play of your team's offense. The mesh pass concept is a staple in the "Air Raid" offense that has helped Coach Leach's teams break NCAA passing records. You'll see how to implement it from 2x2 and 3x1 sets. You'll also get drills to improve fundamental skills in the Air Raid, increase completion percentages and reduce turnovers.

As he takes you day-by-day through his weekly practice plan, Coach Leach identifies points of emphasis from the planning of practice to the execution and technique improvements. Using practice film, he sets up and critiques drills that develop young quarterbacks and receivers. While critiquing practice film he touches on points such as:

• changing the arc of the ball to allow the receiver to make the quarterback right
• changing hand placement when catching a horizontal pass, which is different from catching a vertical pass

Using game film, Coach Leach shares technical and situational specifics that apply to quarterbacks and receivers all within the context of his mesh play.

This presentation will help you plan a successful practice, while understanding technique and basic schemes to improve offensive productions.

Now that the spread offense is in vogue and defenses are designed to combat wide formations, the Slot-T has become a unique offense that is difficult to counter. Brian Herman's Slot-T offense is the perfect answer for coaches who lack the personnel needed to run the up-tempo spread offense, and will present numerous challenges to more modern defenses that typically do not see this style of offense all season.

Coach Herman provides an excellent foundation for running the Slot-T offense. He utilizes play diagrams, schematics and video cut-ups to introduce the basics of this offense. You will learn the formations, terminology, and play design that make this offense so easy to learn and also so effective.

Why the Slot-T?

Learn how to run the football versus any defense despite potential differences in talent. See how players line up in four-point stances and use angle blocking to maximize "get off" on the snap to defeat larger, more talented teams. The team-oriented schematic structure emphasizes team football as opposed to one or two players being asked to make all of the plays.

• It's an old-school style of football with an emphasis on running the football with a physical mindset.
• It's difficult to prepare for since very few teams run this style of offense.

Formations and Terminology

The video are the basic formation, line splits, and attributes Coach Herman would like to see in each position on offense. The offense uses a strong side and a quick side. The offensive line utilizes the rare tactic of flipping the offensive line, which allows for simplicity in blocking rules as one scheme can be used for two plays. Simple formations and motions add flexibility to the offense.

• Simple formations such as "A Right"/ "A Left"
• Simple motion terms such as "Tom"
• Triple digit play terminology simplifies the learning
Learn the base offensive series and how the plays fit together

Personnel Details & Practice Structure

Coach Herman goes into detail on what type of player is needed for each position and what to do if you don't have that kind of player in your program. He also details practice plans and identifies specific drills that are key to master the execution that allows them to run the ball so well.

With a philosophy of "run to win," Coach Herman illustrates step-by-step how the Slot-T offense is a great equalizer that will allow you to win games you shouldn't and compete when you are clearly outmatched. With easy-to-learn formations and terminology, a team-oriented schematic structure, and detailed personnel and practice format breakdowns, Coach Herman provides all the tools needed to install this effective offense.

The Slot-T has proven to be a highly effective offense at the high school level. Brian Herman describes the Power Series of plays that he has run with great success. Coach Herman uses a multimedia presentation including game video to demonstrate the three base plays and play action pass of the Power Series.

Coach Herman dives into specific detail about his 200 Power Series. You'll learn the specifics of four base plays: 234 dive, 228 toss, 243 tackle trap, and 216 pass. He provides in-depth commentary, whiteboard illustrations, and game footage to show how your team can effectively move the ball against any formation the defense presents.

Installing a Progression in the Power Series

Coach Herman runs through the base formation, alignments, gap numbering system, ideal personnel types for each position, and play calling methodology so that you can immediately implement this scheme into your offense.

• Detailed coaching points and rules are provided for every position on each play in the Power Series.
• Flipping the "strong side" and "quick side" linemen allow players to learn one set of rules for two different plays.
• An intuitive defensive numbering system makes it easy for players to quickly identify and execute blocking responsibilities, regardless of where the defense aligns. Backside linemen are assigned play-side blocking responsibilities, which allows you to gain a numbers advantage on every run play.
• Misdirection backfield action on every play causes defenses to play slow as they try to diagnose which player has the ball and where it's going.

Maximizing Each Play

Coach Herman explains his play-calling philosophy for each play in the Power Series to keep defenses guessing while putting your players in the best position to enjoy success.

• 234 Dive is the 'bread and butter' play of the Power Series. This play is used to establish the run and ensures a double team with your best blockers at the point of attack. Backfield action gives the appearance of a triple option play.
• 228 Toss allows your team to leverage speedier players to gain the edge on defenses when they stack the box to stop 234 Dive.
• 243 Tackle Trap is a quick-hitting counter play to take advantage of teams that try to stop 234 Dive by keying offensive strength.
• 216 Pass is a complement play-action pass play used to take advantage of overly aggressive teams that are focused on stopping the Power Series run plays.

Coach Herman diagrams each play before going over responsibilities of every play. Finally, game footage is used to reinforce techniques, highlight in-game adjustments, and clarify points that were covered on the whiteboard.

Coach Herman is methodical and thorough in his presentation of the Power Series. Coaches at all levels will benefit from this video. All aspects of the four fundamental Power Series plays are covered, ranging from offensive line splits, to quarterback steps, to when to call each play. By the end of this video, you'll have everything you need to understand, teach, and install a run-heavy attack that will keep your opponents on their heels!

With easy-to-learn formations and terminology, a team-oriented schematic structure, and detailed personnel and practice format breakdowns, Coach Herman provides all the tools needed to install this effective offense.

Basics of the Slot-T

Coach Herman uses a PowerPoint to explain the basics of the Slot T offense. With a philosophy of "run to win," he explains how the Slot-T is a great equalizer and will allow you to win games you shouldn't and compete when you are clearly outmatched. The Slot-T is a team-oriented schematic structure that emphasizes team football as opposed to one or two players being asked to make all of the plays.

The offense utilizes the rare tactic of flipping the offensive line, which simplifies what each player must know to execute. Simple formations and motions add flexibility to the offense..

300 Series

You will learn all you need to know to install the Slot-T's 300 Series, which creates deception with misdirection. The A Right formation is the base alignment for the Slot-T. Blocking rules for each position and each play are taught before game video is shown of each play. You'll see:

• 3-3-3 (FB Trap) - The base play of the series.
• 349 (Load/Down Sweep)
• 8-Hole Reverse (Slot Reverse)
• Pass 318 Waggle (Waggle)

Coach Herman's misdirection series for the Slot-T couples perfectly with the power series, but could be equally effective as a change-up series for just about any offense. With its simplicity and aggressive nature, this offense is sure to frustrate and tire out a defense while putting points on the board.

This triple read, inside veer offense out of the shotgun is a unique concept that creates an offense your opponents will not want to line up against! For Art Craig, this proven offense has allowed his team to average 40 points per game and produced a state championship in 2011.

In this football DVD, Coach Craig lays out the differences between the standard Flexbone and his "Wolf-Gun" Offense and then shows you the multiple formation packages he uses to stress the defense to the breaking point. Using PowerPoint, coaching points, and game footage, Coach Craig will help you implement the Inside Veer into your Pistol Flexbone Offense.

Through his PowerPoint presentation, he outlines off-season and in-season practice schedules for the center and quarterback. He defines the key points to the two-handed "flip snap" and how it's practiced, including stance and hand placement. He also details the quarterback's stance and footwork through the use of his Option Tree to help create a more decisive quarterback.

Craig covers the key points to running the Inside Veer including how to use formations and motions to control your opponent's defense. Additionally, he covers his key points to the read and pitch, including drills to enhance these concepts.

Using game footage, Craig gives you a great look at his Inside Veer attack vs. various defensive fronts. You will be able to study the use of formations and no-huddle principles to gain an advantage on the opponent. Using practice video, Craig teaches the Inside Veer footwork for the quarterback using a progression from individual work up to adding a fullback.

As a bonus, Craig points out the importance of "thinking outside the box" and provides video of the tweaks he has made such as going to a no-back look.

If you want to put in an offense to dominate your opponent with the use of multiple formations and motions, the Pistol Flexbone is your answer. By adding the Inside Veer you will stretch and compress the defense on every snap!

69 minutes. 2012

In an era when all football coaches are looking for the next creative scheme and competitive advantage, Art Craig has merged two powerful, effective systems into one. He calls it The Timberland Wolf-Gun.

When you run the Midline Option from the Flexbone Pistol you get:

• A cutting edge offensive scheme that blends the flexbone veer with the pistol formation
• An explosive running play to a three technique defensive tackle
• One of the toughest-to-stop short yardage plays in football
• Blocking angles on every defender to break long runs

Coach Craig shows you the multiple formation packages he uses to stress the defense to the breaking point. Master the mesh and mechanics of the Midline Option in the off season using Craig's unique options tree.

After showing you the mechanics, Craig diagrams the blocking scheme for the Midline before showing you game footage of the play from multiple formations as he coaches you up. One major advantage in the option game; you don't have to have overpowering offensive linemen. The Midline allows you to read a 3-technique defensive lineman to dive or keep--no one is assigned to block him. The Midline compliments the Inside Veer that is run to the 1-technique. This combination allows you to attack either side of the defense with an option attack.

Coach Craig's mix of "chalk talk" and game footage demonstrates how to incorporate motion and thoroughly details the nuances of executing the Midline versus all defensive fronts and adjustments.

With over 1-hour of run time, this DVD will help any coach looking for an innovative change with chapters explaining the advantages of the Midline, the implementation of the snap, the basics of the play, the "option tree" steps, practice drills and skills, and game-day cutups. Package this DVD with the Flexbone Pisotl Inside & Outside Veer videos and you too can see how his dynamic offense can dominate any defense.

62 minutes. 2012.

When the game is on the line and you need a touchdown to win, the Outside Veer is your go-to play. Everyone on the field and in the stands will know it's coming, yet it can't be stopped.

When defenses load up to stop the inside veer Art Craig goes to his outside veer and gashes the defense for big yardage. Utilizing the outside veer within Craig's "Wolf-Gun" Offense you will experience:

• How easy it is to install into your offense
• The ability to attack the edge of a defense with lightning speed
• A tremendous goal line play that is almost impossible to stop
• Offensive formations that can outnumber and dominsate the defense
• Practice strategies and drills to make your own Flexbone Pistol Offense unstoppable

In addition to the sheer power this play possess, it is also easy to install. Coach Craig shows you the multiple formation packages he uses to stress the defense to the breaking point. Implementation of the special two-handed center snap is discussed and shown with practice video.

Coach Craig has his players work on the veer tree to master the mesh and mechanics of the outside veer in the off season and every Monday and Tuesday during the season. You will see video action of his players executing on the tree and learn the importance of making your own tree.

After you learn how to run the outside veer out of the Flexbone Pistol, Coach Craig shows you the outside veer using game footage to help you better understand the offense. Craig goes through game film and points out the weaknesses in the different defenses that he faces and the areas he likes to attack. He goes through the different areas of the field and the different situations in which the outside veer is most effective.

Give your offense a change up to the inside veer and gain big yards this season using the outside veer play!

63 minutes. 2012.

Imagine defending the Flexbone from the shotgun, add to that a quick passing game, a sprint out package and a rock solid play action passing game. That would be a nightmare for any defensive coordinator, but a high scoring dream for you. Art Craig discusses his passing game and the use of multiple formations to create his unique combination offense.

Using arm bands to simplify the learning process for his players, Coach Craig shows you how he puts the package together using word association. He uses names instead of numbers for the plays, formations and pass protections. You'll get a detailed look at Craig's Wolf-Gun Flexbone quick game, play action, and sprint game, which allows you to:

• Teach a simple yet effective passing game
• Stress the defense to defend a strong passing game to go with the veer option
• Create a unique offensive scheme that is fun to coach and fun for your players

The Play Action Passing Game provides extra time for your quarterback because the defensive line must respect the possibility of the run. This will allow your wide receivers to move in space as aggressive, defensive play-makers' freeze to respect the play action. Using practice film, Craig coaches you through the quarterback steps on the jet sweep play action before showing you game film with Y-Seam, Switch, Radar, Wisconsin, Oscar, Lava and Plato Sideline routes. You will also learn which running plays compliment the Play Action Passing Game.

The Sprint Game adds yet another dimension to the explosive Flexbone Pistol Offense. An athletic quarterback can attack the perimeter of the defense by using his feet as a weapon. After showing you the correct footwork for the quarterback, Craig shows game footage to coach you through the Florida, Hammer, Flame, Trail and Read sprint out passing game.

This DVD would help any coach looking to add to his passing attack and makes the Flexbone Pistol Offense package an extremely effective, dangerous offense.

72 minutes. 2012.

It's time to make the defense pay! If the defense is so concerned about stopping your option game, this is your chance to hit them for big gains and big plays.

Art Craig explains how to confuse defenses by adding complementary plays and multiple formations to the Flexbone Pistol Offense. He delivers six dynamic plays that complement the veer as well as formations and motions designed to outnumber your opponent at the point of attack. Coach Craig shares game video of the complementary plays as he coaches you through each play:

• The Wolford Toss - Used to get the ball outside when the tackle box is loaded up to stop the veer package.
• Counter Trey - Gives the offense a counter play that wreaks havoc on defenses that flow hard to the ball.
• The Sweep Series - Another way to attack the perimeter of the defense for a team that does not have a great offensive line.

Coach Craig's mix of "chalk talk" and game footage demonstrates how to incorporate motion and thoroughly details the nuances of executing these plays versus all defensive fronts and adjustments to give the offense the advantage.

Regardless of your offensive scheme, the complementary plays and formations used in the Flexbone Pistol can be adapted to any offensive scheme and are sure to create a headache for the teams on your schedule.

Surprise the defense by starting your goal line offense at the 15 yard line!

Art Craig lays out his amazing attack plan for the red zone, which starts on the 15 yard line. Craig's philosophy is that the defense is not in the goal-line-stand mindset at the 15 yard line, which makes your offensive play book wide open from a Compressed Formation to a Spread Formation.

Coach Craig uses multiple formations, motions and set plays to create his high percentage red zone package. His unstoppable Flexbone Pistol goal line package includes:

• The Eagle Formation which spreads the defense for his counter and passing game.
• The Tiger Formation creates a tight end set.
• The Red Formation is a double-tight, double-wing formation used for running the Outside Veer and the bone crunching Super Power.

Included in this DVD is Craig's No-Huddle Offense thoughts and procedures that he has uses to dictate the speed of the game. Craig shows that you can call the No-Huddle several ways; with signals, wristbands or with numbers. The Flexbone Pistol uses a 20 play script in practice to prepare the quarterback and team for critical game decisions. The fast-paced Flexbone Pistol No Huddle Offense creates enormous pressure on the defense. If the defense does not align properly they are "in for a long night."

If your offense is struggling in the red zone or you want to implement the no-huddle offense this is a must-have DVD!

Coach Stewart shows you how to install the Pistol Wing-T system starting in the spring and continuing through summer, fall, and into your season. You will quickly see why, despite having many 2-way starters, his teams finish strong each game without ever running sprints during practice.

This DVD shows annual, monthly, and daily practice plans that are discussed thoroughly so that anyone wishing to install and run the Pistol Wing-T can do so in a relatively easy manner.

Background & Philosophy

Coach Stewart evolved the Pistol Wing-T offense after coaching at four different schools. He has coached at the small, agricultural school with 600 students and no weight room, to the large, rural school of 2,000 students, to his current position at a large, inner city school of 2,000.

Stewart took all four of these schools to the playoffs with this offense and without ever coaching a scholarship player! His proven system works at all levels.

Stewart briefly shares the vision, philosophies, and goals he had to instill at all of these losing programs.

Practice Goals & Considerations
This is the "checklist" of goals and expectations of every practice in regards to turnovers, maximum reps, and conditioning with a purpose. Stewart's linear teaching progression is discussed and he shows how to match the technique to the drill to the play call.

Stewart also shows how to correctly balance full contact with no contact drills. Stewart's practice schedules always contain "hidden" individual time that gives position coaches additional time to teach important techniques.

Off-Season & Spring
Stewart shows how to get a jump on your opponents by starting your teaching after school and in the weight room when your players come back from winter break. He then goes through his day-by-day installation sequence during 10 spring practices. Daily practice schedules are shown, in addition to the sequence of motions, formations, and plays that are installed first.

Summer
Stewart allows for 12 summer practices which balances the demands of multiple-sport athletes and allows for players and coaches to enjoy their summer break. The installation schedule is continued from the spring with the goal of the entire base offense being installed before August. Stewart also shows how to approach 7 on 7 and summer camps.

August
Stewart summarizes the individual and group drills that are explained in the other Pistol Wing-T videos, but here he shows when and where the drills are inserted into the practice schedules. He then goes through his twenty August practices and how he re-installs all of the plays but now adds the "wrinkles" such key breakers, blitz pickup, and use of different formations.

At all of Stewart's coaching stops, most of the players and coaches worked during the day, so he shows a unique way of doing "double practices" without having a morning practice.

Conditioning
The Pistol Wing-T is a fast, explosive offense that requires the ball to be snapped within 3 seconds of breaking the huddle. This puts great pressure on the defense to recognize all the different formations that Stewart uses. It is also an offense designed for the 180 pound guard and 140 pound halfback, so quickness and conditioning are very important components to compete against bigger opponents. Stewart is a master at incorporating conditioning into the entire practice and challenges his athletes both physically and mentally.

In-Season and Playoffs
This section shows how to effectively use your time once school has started and how Coach Stewart uses every assistant coach in weekly game plans. Daily practice schedules are shown and discussed. He then shows how he modifies for league and playoffs so that players do not become burned out or over-fatigued, exposing them to late season injury.

Scouting the Opponent
Stewart quickly shows how his entire staff is utilized in off-season, in-season, and game night scouting. He talks about what he looks for in an opponent when devising his weekly game plan and what every coach is looking for as he calls the plays on Friday night.

This video is packed with information and coaching insights. Order now and get plans and ideas for putting in the Pistol Wing-T offense!

Take your Wing-T offense to a whole new level by implementing the Pistol Wing-T. You get the same devastating misdirection found in the conventional Wing-T, with all of the advantages of putting the quarterback in the gun.

Coach Stewart uses a PowerPoint presentation and live demonstrations to teach you all of the new wrinkles, drills and concepts in the exciting Wing-T Pistol offense. You will see the backfield footwork for all the Wing-T running plays, as well as his newest version of motion that sends the wing behind the QB instead in front of him. This change adds more misdirection to the Pistol Wing-T, which will create hesitation in any defense.

Coach Stewart opens with the Buck Sweep and the 32 G.T. emphasizing that the ball never leaves the quarterback's belly and that the running backs are responsible for all fakes. Next Stewart shows you the 36 Down, Veer and the Counter and how the same steps are used by the QB in all the plays. The Belly Series includes the G, 28 Option, 28 G Belly, 33 Belly GT and the 41 Trap. Stewart uses the Midline and Veer series out of the Pistol to put additional pressure on the defense.

Every day drills are highlighted for each position so that you will have an understanding of specific skills needed to run the offense. Adding plays that require similar footwork for the backfield allows you to efficiently install and practice both traditional Wing-T plays along with outside veer, inside veer and midline. Coach Stewart's drills teach:

• Proper backfield alignment for the quarterback and each running back
• The backfield footwork and the coaching points to execute the motion properly to ensure the defense cannot key on one player
• Various running back drills that involve blocking and running with the ball
• How to fake hand-offs and use deception to your advantage
• The "knuckleball" snap that puts the laces into the quarterback's throwing hand for a quick delivery

Practice video is included that shows how Coach Stewart administers each drill and how it is tied to specific plays.

Expertly execute your backfield movements this season with excellent deception and timing!

FD-04257C: with Rick Stewart,
former Porterville (CA) High School Head Football Coach, Coach Stewart has used this offensive system to turn around three different schools that had poor records including 0-20, 1-19 and a team that won eight games in the 5 years prior to his arrival. Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.

Rick Stewart does a superb job of teaching coaches how to improve offensive line performance for the Pistol Wing-T. Coach Stewart walks through each blocking technique and then uses practice video to show how he administers each technique using heavy bags.

Stewart shows how to create proper first-step mechanics in your linemen. He preaches the power step and getting the second step on the ground before contact so your linemen can elevate defenders on their third step. His sled progression includes the 1,2,3-Down-Pull & Trap before he finishes with the Sled Drive.

Hand shields are used to simulate the more realistic block on a moving target. The use of double team and combo blocking is shown as well as the Belly Drill. A group work time allows players to work together on all types of combination blocks needed in the Wing-T.

Stewart designs each drill so linemen can respond to both odd and even defensive fronts. He diagrams each technique, drill and play so that players are prepared each week for their next opponent.

For smaller schools he shows how to use half line drills so that you can get every play installed with fewer players.

Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.

Rick Stewart uses simple but effective processes for improving quarterback play and his overall passing game.

QB Drills
Coach Stewart provides over 20 drills for you to use to help improve quarterback play in the Pistol Wing-T system. He covers mechanics, pass play footwork, run play footwork and option footwork. Also included are sprint passing techniques, so coaches can improve their play action passing game.

In the Pistol, the quarterback is three yards from the line of scrimmage, so the 1-, 3- and 5-step drops are modified. Stewart explains how and where the quarterback needs to be based on these modifications. He also shows a highly effective approach to finding the open receiver and explains how to teach the quarterback to read defenses.

WR Drills
Coach Stewart's wide receivers drills are a must for any coach who works with receivers. The receiver section contains 15+ drills. The blocking session shows you how receivers stalk and crack. The 2,4,6 and 9 cone drill for receivers is one of the best set of drills a coach can use to work on cuts, chattering down on breaks, and catching the ball.

Stewart does a tremendous job explaining each drill with PowerPoint and practice video.

Group Drills, Simulation Drills, Screen Game, Practice Schedule
In the last section of the video, Coach Stewart gives you quarterback and wide receiver group drills, simulation drills, the screen game and practice schedule. The simulation drill allows quarterbacks to see where receivers will be at end of their routes and where the open windows will be. You'll also learn to execute eight screen plays with just three blocking schemes.

Coaches will find these drills for mechanics and footwork highly effective easy to install into their daily practice schedule.

Coach Stewart led each team to the playoffs with in his first two seasons at the helm.

Coach Stewart uses a power point presentation before showing you practice and game video of his dynamic Pistol Wing-T offense shredding the 4-3 defense. The key in defeating the 4-3 defense is the ability to run the ball from the inside out and putting the safeties in conflict: "Is it run or pass?"

Coach Stewart provides a very detailed plan for attacking the 4-3 defense beginning with off season scouting up to and including your next game. He explains how to scout your opponent from the previous season by identifying returning players and then creating a reaction diagram for each play. Reaction diagrams will help coaches understand who is reading running backs versus linemen. It will also pinpoint alley players and show how safeties are responding to motion and formation alignments. The need for "if then" statements is covered so you can call plays and make game time adjustments effectively.

The Pistol Wing-T allows for a multiple formation attack to force the defense to declare their gap assignments and pass zones. To start the game, Coach Stewart likes to attack the defense from the inside. Coach Stewart explains the G Trap, Gut, Tackle Trap, and Midline, describing when and where to attack the defense. You'll see the best way to gain an advantage on bigger defensive tackles. You'll also learn how to attack the off-tackle hole with various motions and formations, including the G Lead, GT, and Crisscross series.

The 4-3 Defense leaves the flats vulnerable in the Cover 4, so Stewart shows how to take advantage with a variety of sweeps, screens and options. Coaches will find his seven man alignment diagrams useful in deciding whether to initially attack the middle, off tackle or flank of a defense.

The Pistol Wing-T passing game attacks the various coverages and provides for big play potential when the defense over-commits to stop the high powered running game.

This DVD takes the traditional Wing-T to a whole new level, coaches at all levels will benefit from Coach Stewart's insight on attacking the 4-3 defense with the Wing-T Pistol Offense.

If you have struggled to move the ball against the 4-2 and 4-4 defenses, help is on the way! Rick Stewart gives you an attack plan that will allow your team to light up the scoreboard and attack the defense with both the run and the pass.

Starting before the season even begins, Coach Stewart shares his out of season scouting procedure and discusses why it is important to understand how teams are going to defend your offense. This gives you time to plan your attack for each team on your schedule. He also goes over the basics of his Pistol Wing-T offense, describing his terminology and the number system he uses.

Moving to strategy, Coach Stewart shows you an effective way to identify the front of the 4-4 and 4-2-5 defenses. Stewart attacks the 4-2/4-4 defense off tackle first, as he runs at the defensive end and determines his technique. If the end flies up field, you can run the Down, G-Lead and Belly Counter. If the defensive end squeezes and the Outside Backer is reading, the Buck Sweep, Inside and Outside Veer are available options. Stewart covers each possible defensive technique and how he attacks it.

Learn how to attack the flank and how to put the number 4 defender in "conflict." The OLB has to defend the alley and defend the flats. By attacking his assignment with motions and play actions he is in constant conflict. When the middle softens up, you can attack it with the 32 G, the 34 Veer, Option, Fly Sweep, Belly Pass and Down Pass.

Coach Stewart includes his passing game and shows you how he attacks Cover 3, Roll Cover 2 and man-to-man. You'll see a sprint package that gets your QB on the edge with the option to run or pass the ball.

You can combine play action passing and the sprint passing game to attack the defensive zones covered by the OLB and corners or the corners and free safety. You will see each play diagrammed by Stewart along with practice and game footage.

As a bonus, Stewart shares his screens and wrap around draw play rounding out an incredible offensive package!

This is a proven system that Stewart has used to turn around three different high school programs. Use his knowledge and create an offensive system that has an answer for every defensive adjustment.

Rick Stewart gives you a blueprint for defeating the 3-3 defense with the Pistol Wing-T offense.

Wing-T coaches have often struggled versus this defense due to the number of defenders lined up between the offenses tackles. Coach Stewart explains several base alignments you can use against this defense and how you can force the defense to change their alignment by attacking different parts of the field.

The playbook is very similar to the traditional Wing-T, but with the quarterback off the line of scrimmage, the offense presents additional challenges to any defense. Stewart holds nothing back as he presents his concepts on reading defenses and calling plays.

Coach Stewart uses a count system to identify which defenders he will put in conflict. The system used to count and identify each member of the defense will help you decide whether to attack the middle, off tackle or flank of this defense. He diagrams how the eight defenders at Level 1 and 3 typically line up and how to use this information to your advantage. Coach Stewart offers a four part plan for attacking the eight man front.

Coach Stewart explains that you must attack the flanks of the defense early in the game. He describes the formations to use to spread the defense that will create problems for this defense - and how to exploit it. You will see live footage of the Pistol Wing-T and how the entire offense ties together creating a balanced attack.

Stewart uses the option game, Buck Sweep, and the Down and G Belly passes to attack the flank of the defense. The off tackle hole is attacked with the Outside Veer, Down, Buck Down, and the 36 G Lead. When the defense moves outside, you can attack the middle. You'll also see plays to run when the defense is chasing your motion back, which will open up other parts of your offense.

Coach Stewart will make you think about the way you call plays and help you design your offensive scheme so it will attack the weakness not the strength of the defense.

Rick Stewart combines traditional Wing-T concepts with new strategies to create the unique Pistol Wing-T. Coach Stewart details the innovative Pistol Wing-T Offense and shows you where the 7 man front defense is vulnerable - and how to exploit it.

Discover where to attack and when to attack certain areas of the 5-2 defense. Stewart shows you how to attack the flanks of the defense and how to use formations to force defense to adjust to you.

To be successful, you will need to put the safety in conflict. To do that, Stewart covers the Belly Option, Belly Pass, G Sweep, Fly Sweep, and down pass. Force your opponent to adjust to you using the Outside Veer, the Down, and the G Lead. All of these plays are explained with power point and on the field.

Once you have forced the defense to adjust to your flank and off-tackle attack, Coach Stewart shows you how to attack the middle of the defense.

When the safeties come down too quickly it opens up the play action passing game. Stewart employs the sprint passing game with play action and drop-back passing to attack the two safety look. As a bonus he shares his thoughts on attacking chase motion and the use of trick plays in attacking the 3-4/5-2 defense. If you are currently running the Wing-T or have to defend someone running it, this video is a must.

The bonus side of the passing attack is that lineman don't have to learn a complex set of rules or techniques in the Pistol Wing-T passing game. Stewart explains the Trap, On, Belly, Belly Wham and the Veer to the tight end and away from the tight end. Plus a few wrinkles on how to run the option.

If you find that your team is regularly outmatched, winning a football game can be a real challenge. Rick Stewart is a master of helping teams with losing traditions turn their programs around. He has lead three separate high school programs through transitions from perennial losers into playoff-caliber squads.

In this video, Coach Stewart will provide you a detailed overview of the Pistol Wing-T system that has lead to his repeated successes. This up-tempo offense combines a powerful running attack, misdirection, and passing game to score - even against opponents with superior talent. From the advantages and disadvantages to running the Pistol Wing-T, to the attributes of different positions within the offense, to the technique of snapping the ball, Coach Stewart spares no detail in sharing what makes this system work.

Run Family

See how Coach Stewart organizes his plays into three main "families:" Belly, Buck and Down. Each has the ability to take advantage of a common blocking scheme while still having the flexibility to get the ball to each of your backfield players and attack the defense in a number of ways. This creates a system of "if-then" scenarios where you can always make the defense wrong with the tactics they attempt to use against you. Game film from a variety of schools that have already embraced the Pistol Wing-T revolution will introduce you to some of the plays within the system.

"Look-a-Like" Formations

Coach Stewart shares the importance of "look-a-like" motions and blocking schemes that allow for multiple plays from the same formations, making defensive game preparation and reads difficult.

Learn how to confuse the defense with the combination of 15 different formations and up-tempo huddle system. Through visualizations using PowerPoint, player demonstration, and computer simulation, Coach Stewart demonstrates how to huddle players so they can quickly run a play within seconds. Essential details like the fast timing of the snap count and sending players into motion confuse the defense and make it hard for your opponent to run many blitzes or different packages against you. Coach Stewart shows you how the pace can be accelerated even further with a no huddle system.

Communication

A system for clearly communicating all of the intricacies of the offense to your players is critical. Coach Stewart utilizes schematics and game film throughout the video to demonstrate how he has changed the Wing-T terminology to simplify play calls for the high school athlete. You will see how plays are signaled from the sideline to players in both huddle and no huddle situations. He continues this simplification by demonstrating and explaining the most efficient huddle strategy for deception and conflict with his easy-to-learn play calling system.

Coach Stewart teaches you all of the terminology that is needed to call out formations, play families, blocks, routes, and more for every snap of the ball. He will walk you through the creation of a play with diagrams that visualize each of his verbal calls.

Additionally, Coach Stewart provides you with a value system of different positions in the offense, along with the required traits for each position. This helps less experienced coaches assign the best players for every position, rather than the stereotypical body types for the various positions.

Rick Stewart shares how to make your playbook look impossibly big through changes in formations and incorporating tactics such as motions, shifts, combo plays and false keys. Additionally, you will learn how to handle special situations with short yardage plays and Coach Stewart's personal library of trick plays.

These components are something you can add over multiple seasons as your program continues to master their understanding of the Pistol Wing-T offense.

Motions, Shifts and Trick Plays

You will see whiteboard diagrams, computer simulations, player demonstrations, and game film that help you visualize the blocking assignments and reads necessary to make these plays work.

• Formations - You will learn how to sprint out of the huddle into 15 different formations that help gain easy yardage off of defenses that cannot adjust quickly enough. Running the same plays out of these different formations expands your playbook and makes it impossible for opponents to adequately prepare for you in only a few days.
• Short Yardage Plays - Every coach needs reliable options to punch the ball through the defense for those situations with 1-2 yards to go. Coach Stewart shows five plays in the "Thumper" and "Tubby" formations to help you claim those precious yards.
• Motions & Shifts - This additional layer of pre-snap movements will make your offense unpredictable. The defense will be in a state of confusion as they try to match up to multiple formations and players in motion before the ball snaps. Putting players in motion will also give you a tool for studying how the defense adjusts and can help you find weaknesses to exploit over the course of the game.
• False Keys - Defenses that are coached well will have certain reads they will execute flawlessly. Mixing in false keys with your guards will make the defense second guess their reads and can open up holes for defenders that continue to bite on misdirections.
• Trick Plays - Coach Stewart shows you the best trick plays he has collected over his career to give you an arsenal of nine plays that will help you pick up big yards in clutch situations. These trick plays give you a diverse number of options to attack the defense in ways that the opponent will never see coming.
• Read Plays & No Huddle Audibles - These plays allows you to quickly line up so the quarterback can read the defense and decide how to attack.
• Combo Plays - For the advanced Pistol Wing-T coach, Coach Stewart shows you how to merge your favorite play actions to attack the defense on either side of the line of scrimmage. Based on reading the defense in 10 different plays, you can run or pass in either direction within the same play!

Adding these extra features to your Pistol Wing-T offense will dramatically increase the stress levels of opposing coaches!

"Coach Stewart does an amazing job sharing his bag of tricks in this video. I walked way entire impressed with how complete this offensive system feels with all of these additional components that can really take your Wing T system to the next level. For anyone looking to run this offense, this video did not feel like an optional purchase at all!" - Customer Review

Offenses in football are constantly changing, always looking for advantages. In today's football, offenses are spreading out to give their playmakers more room. However, sometimes an offense needs to be able to have a power running game. Coach Matt Drinkall explains how he runs a power run offense from a spread concept in this video.

Coach Drinkall explains his terminology and philosophy as he talks about his bread and butter plays: the power and the trap. He describes his terminology as a simplified process to make it easy for his players to understand. This allows his running game to be successful without a lot of confusion.

As with any offense, you cannot live on only two plays. Coach Drinkall illustrates with charts and video the blocking schemes for several other plays that are built off the power and trap run plays. In this offense, any of the skill players can run the ball and the offensive line will still know their blocking assignments. One weapon Coach Drinkall likes to use is the running quarterback, as it creates many problems with the defense. He has designed powers and traps for the quarterback to make plays.

Coach Drinkall also illustrates his "man" blocking scheme to create a zone-style blocking scheme. From this scheme, he is able to run all the same plays, plus it allows for variations of runs to be implemented.

If your team needs a power running game in its spread offense, this video featuring Coach Drinkall is a must!

PASS, PASS, PASS. So many teams are now shifting to a pass-first philosophy, but they struggle to put together a successful passing scheme. Coach Drinkall has a simple, but effective passing scheme that allows an offense to move the chains with high percentage throws. His offense has built-in answers and adjustments for any problems it may encounter.

Coach Drinkall explains the quick combination pass game that includes directional quick throw packaged with a drop back concept. Using game footage and PowerPoint illustrations, he explains and demonstrates key coaching points for each route, how and why to tag specific routes onto the play call, and the quarterback read progression in man and zone coverage while keeping the same blocking scheme for the offensive line.

Combination Pass Package

One of the biggest keys for success in the passing game is space. Coach Drinkall's passing scheme is developed on having the receivers spaced apart so that one defender cannot cover two receivers. His base pass play package gives freedom to the receivers to read the defense and find the open area.

Coach Drinkall explains the individual routes and how they are adjusted based on the coverage the wide receiver sees. Also, Drinkall explains the quarterback's read progression using a unique color coding method to make learning and execution easy on the quarterback.

Combination Routes

Once the base package had been practiced over and over, Drinkall adds combinations routes to the system to get his best players an opportunity to make plays. He explains how they adjust this route concept with tagging individual routes by specific receivers to take advantage of how defenses may try to defend this concept. This will confuse defenses and provide open routes to throw to for the quarterback.

The individual tags presented are hitch, slant, and option. Coach Drinkall uses game footage and a PowerPoint to diagram and explain how each tag is taught, and, he explains why each tag should be called according to how the defense is playing. Coach Drinkall demonstrates how the hitch tag can also be tagged with a play action fake to add an additional element to the play and to give the defense an additional look.

Once your players have learned the system, it is almost unstoppable.

Tim Stowers has coached the Flexbone triple option since 1985 when he was an assistant at Georgia Southern, and in 1990 he became the head coach. He started coaching the offense when it was in its infancy and has been part of all the additions and adjustments this devastating offense has had in that time. Under Coach Stowers' direction, the Holmes offense led the MACJC in rushing the last three years (2014-16), finishing third nationally in 2015 (314 ypg) and second nationally in 2016 (305 ypg). Holmes' offense averaged 30 plus points per game in 2015 and 2016.

Building a championship running game is difficult. Building a championship running game when you have an undersized offensive line is almost impossible. In this video, Tim Stowers shares the system that has brought him success again and again when facing this difficult scenario!

Coach Stowers presents the modern version of the wishbone scheme that is known as "flexbone." In this first of three videos on the triple option, he diagrams the basic "spread" formation that has become synonymous with the triple option. He goes on to describe the alignments and necessary skill sets for each position in order to successfully run this offense, and describes how alignments can be adjusted to accommodate for players of varying degrees of ability.

You'll learn how to build the triple option offense on basic strategic principles and time-tested fundamentals. Coach Stowers teaches you how to identify where and when this offense has the advantage. He shows you:

• The importance of "accepted tail motion" so the secondary cannot rotate before the snap.
• How to hold the backside corner with the X receiver running a hitch to keep him from running down the open field runner.
• How to use Numbers-Grass and Angles to determine which way to run the option.

Using a white board to diagram the basics of the flexbone offense, Stowers details the mesh between the quarterback and B back and the critical footwork used by both. He also demonstrates center-to-quarterback snap mechanics and the ball handling mechanics between the quarterback and "B" back in the mesh. Proper ball handling is crucial to eliminate ball security issues.

The Count System

To successfully run the triple option, the offense must identify which side of the defense they have a numerical advantage to if the defense isn't in a balanced alignment. Stowers describes the "count system" that he teaches his players. The count system lets the quarterback know which defender is the dive key and which defender is the pitch key based on who the offense is "loading."

Stowers also describes the concept of the "loaded" option in which the offense blocks the defensive player that would be assigned to cancel out the quarterback on the triple option. By tying in the count system to the loaded option play, Stowers also demonstrates how the A back determines who to block on the loaded option.

Quarterback Reads

If your quarterback can make the proper pre-snap read and adjust the play correctly, this offense is almost impossible to stop. Stowers covers all the reads the quarterback will typically have to execute in order to run the triple option. He describes the quarterback reactions to shoulder squeeze, QB read and mesh charge, which are common reactions the quarterback will get from the dive key defender. Stowers also describes the "area read" in which the quarterback will read a tandem of players when their alignment dictates the defense may run a stunt to confuse the quarterback's read progression.

Coach Stowers presents a fantastic outline of what you need to do to create and execute an effective triple option offense!

Discover a system that will allow you to maintain maximum control while still giving your offense flexibility. Tim Stowers presents the modern version of the wishbone scheme that's known as flexbone. In this second of three videos, Coach Stowers teaches a running game system that's quick to implement and that can be easily executed by an offense with minimal skill. The QB's reads and options are precise and well-defined, while the O-line's blocking is based on a strategic numbers system.

Quarterback Mechanics for the Triple Option

Stowers teaches his quarterbacks to pitch the ball using the "thumbs down" method, which suits his philosophy of attacking the inside half of the pitch key, as well as "accepted tail motion" by the A backs using a rhythmic snap count.

Stowers then explains how he coaches quarterbacks to handle "1 and 2 hard," which is a common scheme defenses will employ to force the quarterback into a bad read. He also describes the "towel drill" that he uses to teach the A backs how to arc block on the proper path.

Loop and Veer In Blocking Schemes

By utilizing various blocking schemes, the triple option offense can take advantage of the defense's alignment and gap assignment principles to give itself the advantage. The "loop" scheme is utilized when the defense places the dive key inside of the offensive tackle or when the middle linebacker is running out to the alley.

Stowers explains how the "veer in" scheme can be used instead of a combination block to run the triple option to the "three technique" to gain an extra blocker on the play.

Zone Dive Play

Discover how the zone dive play can be utilized as a complement to the triple option when the defense runs the linebackers outside of the "veer block" of the tackle. The backfield action and mesh between the quarterback and B back is identical to the triple option, making it impossible for the defense to distinguish between triple option and zone dive. Coach Stowers goes into detail about how he utilizes the zone dive play to the side of the three technique, especially when the center is uncovered.

Stowers also explains what his thought process would be in terms of play calling with the triple option depending on some common things the defense would do.

Whether you're switching to the triple option or looking to improve on your own system, this video from Coach Stowers is a great resource to enhance your team's play.

The triple option has proven to be one of the most potent rushing attacks in the history of college football. In this presentation, Tim Stowers presents the modern version of the wishbone scheme that is known as the flexbone.

Stowers shares some advanced thoughts regarding the triple option, and specifically how to make adjustments to defensive looks. Using a white board as he coaches you on the more advanced concepts in the triple option, Stowers leaves 'no stone left unturned' as he diagrams plays versus every known defense.

Blocking Schemes and Adjustments

Make specific blocking adjustments to deal with almost any front you'll see. Stowers begins by presenting how the blocking scheme and quarterback's footwork can be adjusted against odd front defenses. One of the most common defenses was the "double eagle" look in which the defense employs an extra defensive lineman in order to make running the ball more difficult. Stowers shows how the basic triple option play can be adjusted to present an "outside veer" look to the defense in which the offense can more easily account for all the defenders.

Stowers provides examples of adjustments to the triple option scheme, including how to adjust the blocking to a "loop" scheme in order to run the triple option play against the odd stack, 4-3, and 6-1 defensive schemes. Also, Stowers diagrams the midline option, which is a double option play that complements the triple option. By running the midline option, the offense can read a dominant interior defensive lineman rather than having to block him.

Coach Stowers also diagrams his "deuce block" adjustment in which the offense can counter how modern 4-3 teams will try to defend the triple option.

Play Action Passes

Play action passes are one of the most devastating aspects of the triple option offense. Stowers diagrams some play action passes that are a vital component of the triple option. The vertical, Wheel and Tunnel routes are discussed in depth, as well as the blocking schemes up front. He diagrams the route breaks and adjustments to various coverages, as well as the quarterback's mechanics and read progression on the play action passes. Coach Stowers also discusses the rationale for running each play and when one particular play may be better than the other.

Discover how to run the Zone Read from multiple formations without confusing your players. By utilizing just two calls for each position on the line, Anthony Pratley shows you how to make the Zone Read an entirely different play to the defense while maintaining the same blocking scheme for the rest of your offensive line.

In this video, Coach Pratley, the creator of the Pistol Spread Option offense, begins by diagramming the basic zone blocking scheme and how he teaches it to offensive lineman. The line calls allow you the flexibility to run a multiple look offense with nearly endless combinations.

Zone Blocking Scheme

Coach Pratley diagrams the zone blocking scheme against even and odd fronts and describes how the simple rule he gives his offensive lineman applies to all defensive fronts. You'll learn what he terms a "two two," which helps his lineman account for stacked linebackers, as well as the blitzes and games that can result from these defensive alignments. Pratley also breaks down the footwork and technique he teaches to the offensive lineman in order to execute the various blocks they're asked to do in his offensive scheme.

Tag Options

Pratley describes the various tags that he uses to modify the basic zone scheme. In this system, the zone play can be run as a read play in which the quarterback will read a designated defender and decide if he will hand the ball off or keep himself. He describes the zone read play and how they tag the read defender in the play call by designating the gap that he should occupy. Pratley also describes how he modifies the blocking scheme to make the zone read play either a "bluff" play or a split zone play, which are complimentary plays to the traditional zone running play.

In the split zone, the designated player blocks the read player. Pratley presents the terminology he uses in the play call to designate the read player and which player should block the read defender.

Zone Bluff Play

In the Zone "Bluff" play, the designated offensive player reads the primary read defender and determines if he will block him or bypass him based on his reaction. This action is designed to look like the split zone play to the defense, but has the ability to become a zone read play with a lead blocker for the quarterback on the edge. Pratley describes, in detail, how the "bluff" block is made and how he teaches his players when to block the read defender and when to bypass him and block a scraping defender. Pratley also describes how he ties the quarterback's read into the "bluff" player's read. You'll see the play diagrammed as well as its variations run from several formations and personnel groupings.

Coach Pratley does an excellent job diagramming various components of the zone running play for the spread offense. This is an excellent video for any coach looking for a comprehensive zone running system that is easy to teach and doesn't depend on a running quarterback, but can be adapted to take advantage of one.

Anthony Pratley is well known around coaching circles for his innovative style of the Pistol Spread Option. In this video, he teaches how to use the power blocking scheme in the pistol to bring more blockers to multiple points of attack.

As a play caller, you have the ability to have your quarterback read the A or B gap defender as well as tag the play with an Option, Bubble or Tunnel screen. This scheme will have the defense scrambling to stop the diversity of the play. Combining the play with the Read, Jet, Inside Veer, Counter and Counter Trey creates countless more variations that will blow holes in even the best defenses!

The Power Scheme takes on a whole new dimension in the Pistol Spread Option Offense. Using an easy-to-follow software presentation, Coach Pratley breaks down five explosive series: Power Read, Power Counter, Power Trey, Power Jet, and Power Inside Veer. This video contains in-depth instruction for multiple formations to keep the ball moving and keep your opponent guessing.

Blocking Rules, Reads and Option Tags

Learn the key blocking rules that will put your offensive line in an advantageous position at the point of attack with superior numbers. Every play has a "read" component that, when properly executed, will make the defense wrong every play. You'll learn how a simple "bubble, option, or tunnel" tag can turn the play into a triple option, further exploiting any defense on the perimeter. Additionally, you'll see how to:

• Read ends or linebackers and use their assignments against them, AKA "Rule-busters"
• Get backside guards at the point of attack every play
• Use various formations 2x2, 3x1, Empty Set to put play makers in space on the perimeter
• Call "hard-nosed" running plays even out of traditional passing sets

Power Jet & Power Inside Veer

One of the most popular perimeter plays in football, the jet sweep, gets a new wrinkle in the pistol offense with Coach Pratley's Power Jet Series. You'll learn how to use motion to get athletes on the perimeter with the ball. Additionally, see how Pratley uses a read component to make the defense wrong every time. When you use multiple formations, defenses will have difficulty picking up any tendencies, and will leave themselves vulnerable.

With the Power Inside Veer series, Coach Pratley neatly marries two of the best offensive attacks in football.

• Learn how to use Power Inside to get ball carriers into the line of scrimmage quickly and running downhill.
• Call simple tags to get a triple-option component, further stretching the limitations of your opponent to stop the Pistol Spread Option.

Coach Pratley has a developed a reputation for creating innovative offenses that are simple to install, but difficult to defend. This video gives you five series from six formations for everything you need to know to run a power football game all over the field!

Want to add a wrinkle into your offense without totally confusing your team? Anthony Pratley teaches you how to implement the zone running game into your offense!

Through in-depth commentary, whiteboard illustrations, and animated plays, Coach Pratley provides every aspect of how to install the base zone play and subsequent variations - including three built-in RPOs and multiple formations. Additionally, Pratley discusses the four types of first steps all offensive players will use in his system, as well as guiding principles for primary and secondary QB reads to make sure they always make the right decision.

Finally, Pratley offers some brief advice on when to call each variation on the base play. By the end of this video, you'll have everything you need to understand, teach, and install a multiple attack offense that will keep your opponents on their heels!

Learn the Basic Zone Play

Coach Pratley takes you through the basics of the zone with an explanation of the blocking rules for the offensive line. Using simple "covered or uncovered" rules, linemen are able to block any front and do so with confidence.

Pratley describes the four types of first steps that all offensive players will use on any given play: on step, gap step, lateral step, and a pull step. These key fundamentals ensure that your players will be in the best position to accomplish their blocking responsibilities. Pratley preaches "reading the knee" of the defensive lineman when double teaming to anticipate gap exchange with a linebacker.

Incorporate a Read Option Element

Pratley adds a layer of complexity to his scheme while keeping the same blocking scheme in place by incorporating a read option wrinkle off of the base zone run play. His simple method for labeling defensive players based on their respective responsibilities (i.e., edge defender is labeled `echo') allows the offensive coordinator to pre-determine which defensive player the QB should read on a given play.

Maximize Variations for Each Play Without Changing Blocking Responsibilities

Coach Pratley maximizes the number of plays based off the same zone blocking scheme by incorporating RPOs and multiple formations. You'll see how simple play tags allow you to incorporate bubble screens, triple options, and tunnel screens off the same zone blocking run play (offensive linemen's responsibilities never change!). RPOs are gaining popularity in all levels of football and provide maximum flexibility in your play calling.

The same defensive labeling system allows you to isolate your opponent's best player by making him either a primary or secondary read on any play. Pratley teaches you how to run the same plays with the same blocking rules out of multiple formations, including: 2x2, 3x1, 2-back, offset I, and 3-back formations.

Finally, subtle variations including the Zone Veer, Zone Toss, and Zone Jet make it even harder for the defense to read and diagnose your offensive call.

Discover how to create balance in your offense with the use of the three-step passing game. The ability to run the football will be always be the key to winning a championship, but if you become one dimensional, the defense can load the box and stop your running game cold.

Anthony Pratley teaches his exciting idea for calling and executing the passing game. Using a "concept" based passing game, you can use multiple calls to create a new look to the defense without changing the read for your quarterback.

Three-Step Passing Concept

The concept-based passing game out of the Pistol formation gives the quarterback the ability to get the ball out of their hand quickly before the rush can get to them. Learn a scheme that:

• Stretches the field vertically as well as horizontally
• Uses simple protection schemes that will keep your quarterback "clean" in the pocket and cut down on confusion on who the linemen should block
• Can run the same play out of 3x1, 2x2, 2-back and empty sets
• Includes routes to beat both zone and man as well as multiple ways to run them

Coach Pratley teaches quarterbacks the correct reading progression, defensive keys and alignments to make simple, highly effective throws. You'll see a diagram of the play and any route adjustments needed to take advantage of the coverage. Small adjustments made by receivers in the vertical concept are what make the plays so effective. Without these adjustments, the defense can take advantage.

You'll learn multiple concepts to add to any type of offensive system to increase efficiency in the passing game. Pratley covers the Whip, Snag, Double Outs, Post Combo, Smash, Trips Concept, Verticals, and his Mustang route. He goes over simple tags, formation adjustments, and motions that expand these plays into 20 different route combinations for a defense to handle.

Pratley uses an organized digital teaching presentation and playbook to explain both the passing game concepts and teaching techniques. These details prepare you to easily install these passing concepts in a way that's understandable for your players.

Pass Protection

The use of simple, but effective pass protections is key when developing a deep passing game in any offense. Pratley describes how three basic protections can be used to handle any and all defensive pressures, including the 5-man, 6-man slide, and 6-man triangle pass protections. These pass protections are described in detail against multiple fronts with diagrams from Pratley's digital playbook demonstrating them against a defense.

From the pass protections for the offensive line to the route adjustments players will learn to make on the fly, Coach Pratley provides everything you need to improve your offensive performance down the field!

Discover how to take the heat off of your quarterback with the use of a dynamic screen package and the quick passing game. If you're spreading the field, defensive coordinators will test your ability to block a heavy rush. The zone blitz and other exotic schemes can destroy the timing of your offense and create numerous negative plays and turnovers. The answer to this problem is to get the ball out of the quarterback's hand quickly.

In this detailed presentation, Anthony Pratley, innovator of the Pistol Spread Option offense, teaches a screen and quick passing game. You will learn:

• A screen package that can be thrown to any of your skill positions
• Simple protection schemes that will keep your quarterback "clean" in the pocket and cut down on confusion on who the linemen should block
• How to run the same play out of 3x1, 2x2, 2-back and empty sets
• A quick passing game that allows for a high percentage completion rate, allowing your offense to move the chains

Screen Game

Coach Pratley diagrams four screen game packages. The first is termed the ID screen package, which involves identifying who is uncovered by defensive alignment and throwing a quick screen to that player. With the use of hand signals, any offensive skill player can be tagged to catch the ID screen out of any offensive formation.

The next screen pass that Pratley shares is the Rex/Lex screen, which is a receiver screen that is a complement to the zone play. The screen can be run to the same side as the zone or the opposite side of the zone, depending on how the play is called. The Rob/Lou screens are variations of the Rex/Lex screen that change which lineman are involved in the screen.

The last screen play that Pratley diagrams is the Rocky/Apollo screen, which is a screen to a running back. You'll also see how the Rocky/Apollo screen can be thrown to a receiver using the same blocking by the offensive line.

The Quick Passing Game

The quick game package features slants, hitches, and fades that can be run in any combination depending on how the defense is aligned and what coverage they're running. Pratley describes coaching points for the receivers on each route and the quarterback's read progression on the plays in the quick game package.

Pratley diagrams his play action pass package, which involves a traditional run fake and throw to a predetermined side of the formation. He also diagrams two different "pop" passes that feature run action and quick passes to take advantage of a defensive player's reaction to his key.

Pass Protections

Pratley diagrams the basic pass protection that he uses with his offense. He breaks down the protection vs an even and odd front and describes how the blitz would be handled from either an inside defender or an edge rusher. See how to teach your players to identify defenders, and how to communicate threats.

Coach Orbin has a long history of producing explosive offenses. In his first two seasons as offensive coordinator, Louisburg has finished at the top of the NJCAA in rushing. In 2015, the squad finished first in the nation with 336 yards per game and followed that up with a third best in the nation 279 yards per game. The past two years, the offense has averaged over 45 points per game, finishing in the top 10 nationally both seasons. Coach Orbin has over 20 years of coaching experience, including tenure in Division I FCS college football, junior college football and high school programs.

Multiple attack defenses have evolved because of the spread offense. Blocking multiple looks and pressure defenses is a challenge. With gap scheme blocking, the advantage goes back to the offense because of the simplicity of the rules for the linemen and the ability to block any defensive look.

Coach Orbin extensively covers gap blocking schemes and techniques for each position using the two back shotgun formation. He uses a teaching progression in this video that allows you to clearly understand the offense:

• He diagrams the play, going over a multitude of formations they use
• Details the blocking rules with player-by-player assignments
• Shows practice video of the extensive drill work that displays the step-by-step process that Coach Orbin uses to develop a dominant offense
• Closes with game video showing live shots of each play

Power and Counter Blocking Schemes

Drill all five offensive line positions on how to execute the Power and Counter blocking schemes versus various defensive fronts, blitzes and stunts. Orbin describes the small but critical details of offensive technique that allow your players to execute more consistently and aggressively. Some of the techniques outlined by Coach Orbin include:

• The Guard & Tackle combo block
• The Center & Guard combo block
• The Center's back block
• The H-Back's kickout block
• The backside Guard's skip pull
• The backside Tackle's "seal & wheel" block
• The backside Guard's kickout block on Counter
• The H-Back's open pull on Counter

Power With Built-in Read

Louisburg College uses the power blocking scheme and a three and two back shotgun set to run a unique power play that has a read option in which the quarterback will read the force defender or outside linebacker for dive or pull. This concept puts tremendous pressure in stopping the power run without having numbers in the box to do so.

Counter With Built in Read

The Counter play complements the Power play. The Counter play uses the same blocking concept and attacks the weak side with the quarterback executing the same read as on the Power play. It provides an answer for teams that try to key the H-Back's pre-snap alignment.

Coach Orbin's in-depth instruction makes this video a must-have for anyone wishing to implement the two-back power run game. Give yourself an advantage against any defensive alignment your opponent might try to use to stop this devastating offense.

Being physical in the spread offense is a problem for several who run it. With this series, your offense will develop a physical demeanor and be able to run the football on even the most elaborate defensive scheme.

Coach Orbin has developed a base plan that can be incorporated at all levels of football. He runs a simple, yet highly effective option game using balanced and unbalanced formations. Applying rule-based gap schemes to his plays allows the offensive line to be physical and play fast every play, regardless of defensive alignment. It also allows your team to execute and play efficiently.

Coach Orbin begins by giving an overview of the run game concepts that he utilizes at Louisburg College. He uses a teaching progression in this video that allows you to clearly understand the offense:

Dash and Dash Wrap

The "Dash" and "Dash Wrap" play is Coach Orbin's version of zone read, but with a gap blocking scheme rather than a zone blocking scheme. Key coaching points for the tailback and H back are given, as well as the quarterback mechanics and read progression on the play.

Jet and Jet Wrap

The "Jet" and "Jet Wrap" play is his version of the power read. Coach Orbin explains the proper footwork and mechanics for the quarterback, running back, and H back, as well as the technique of the wide receivers on a stalk block. Coach Orbin explains the key difference in the path of the H back on this play using game footage as examples. Coach Orbin also explains the read progression of the quarterback, as well as key coaching points for the offensive line.

J Sail

You'll learn a play action pass play that takes full advantage of the dash and wrap plays. The option plays force the defense to add players to the box to help stop the run. Once the defense commits extra defenders to the run game, the sail pass combination is available.

Coach Orbin diagrams the formation that he likes to call 'the play from' and the advantages of doing so. He explains the routes for the receivers, the protection used, and the quarterback's mechanics and read progression on the play. The J Sail play is a must-have play for any team that runs this system as it puts tremendous stress on a defense that is focused on stopping the run.

If you want to use a unique option offense to pick apart defenses, Coach Orbin's instruction in this video is a worthy addition to your coaching knowledge!

The spread offense has evolved, and so have spread defenses, which attack more and disguise coverages pre-snap, making it challenging for a quarterback executing in the typical spread. Coach Will Orbin shows you how to attack any defensive structure and implement the triple option that is easy to run, along with the gap blocking scheme that will take care of any blitz the defense can conjure up.

This triple option with a power gap blocking scheme uses balanced or unbalanced formations so you can use either load or arc blocking schemes at the second level. The simplicity in the blocking scheme allows you to run multiple running plays with the same rules for the offensive line. Coach Orbin uses a teaching progression in this video that allows the viewer to clearly understand the offense:

The Power Triple allows the offense to create the illusion that the power play is coming, but with traditional veer option reads the quarterback has the ability to hand-off or get to the perimeter with the option. The Triple Wrap is a weak side play with the same read and blocking as the Power Triple.

Coach Orbin next shows you how to hit vertical plays with the RPO by reading a third level defender. You will see four explosive plays that complement the offense and give you the ability to score anywhere on the field.

Under Coach Campbell's direction, the Montana Tech Defense finished in the top 25 in the nation in eight categories in 2016, including 11th in scoring defense, holding opponents to 19.2 points per game. This followed a 2015 season in which his defense finished in the top 25 nationally in seven categories. He has guided at least one linebacker to All-Conference honors in each of his six seasons as coach.

BJ Campbell has created an exciting and aggressive defense designed to not only stop opponents, but take the ball away from them. Based on a 3-4 scheme, his "Havoc Defense" utilizes multiple fronts and blitzes to confuse and put pressure on his opponents. Campbell shows you how to develop your players so they become a concrete expression of his philosophy.

Coach Campbell builds an attack defense from the foundation up. He starts by defending his choice of the 3-4 hybrid. He continues by defining the style of play necessary for success within this scheme. He creates an identity for his defense so that each player becomes a functioning part of his philosophy, stressing awareness, effort, creating turnovers, and an aggressive approach to defense. This develops players to be more reactive than cerebral. He changes the point system on his defensive stats to support his "Havoc" style, reinforcing his definition of attack.

Drills to Build the HAVOC Culture

During this presentation, Coach Campbell presents some of the key team drills that are used during practice at Montana Tech, and, how these drills use his philosophy and build a culture that is reflective of that philosophy. You'll learn:

• Which key areas of practice are charted to create competition in practice
• A unique way to teach perimeter run force and team pursuit
• The "Tempo Pursuit" drill that is used to build awareness of formations and motions, while stressing awareness of the ball and a turnover mentality
• Key coaching points used to teach interception and fumble returns to your players

Montana Tech Havoc and Block Destruction Circuits

Coach Campbell shares two circuits that he uses to teach tackling, block destruction, and turnover fundamentals in a short period of time. You'll see how the HAVOC circuit teaches tackling and turnover creation fundamentals through a variety of drills that are position-specific. Additionally, you'll learn the techniques that Coach Campbell and his staff teach to their players to deliver blows and escape from blocks with good leverage.

Using practice and game video, Coach Campbell covers the important concepts and skills needed for success. He shows several team drills and many individual circuit drills that focus or reinforce his basic attack philosophy. Even if you don't embrace his 3-4 multiple front concept, there are many elements in this video that you can apply to any defensive scheme.

with BJ Campbell,
Montana Tech Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Coach;
back-to-back Frontier Conference Champions (2015-16)

Under Coach Campbell's direction, the Montana Tech Defense finished in the top 25 in the nation in eight categories in 2016, including 11th in scoring defense, holding opponents to 19.2 points per game. This followed a 2015 season in which his defense finished in the top 25 nationally in seven categories. He has guided at least one linebacker to All-Conference honors in each of his six seasons as coach.

The RPO, or run pass option, is a headache for every defense. The RPO offense exploits defensive mis-alignments and reads, but can be coerced into mistakes if they misread the defense. To combat this trend, BJ Campbell gives you multiple ways to defend and defeat RPO and tempo offenses with his HAVOC defensive philosophy.

Complimentary Defensive Calls

Using his Delta package, Coach Campbell shows you game footage on defending the RPO spread offense. He diagrams some of the complimentary calls he uses to give offensive teams different looks while being aggressive on defense. You'll learn how to:

• Use Robber coverage as a change-up to the base cover 4 defense.
• Use a "thief" call to bracket the inside receiver in a 2x2 set to take away quick throws to the flat.
• Change the fronts run fits based on how the offense will try to manipulate numbers through formations and motions.
• Use a man free coverage to keep the numbers in the defense's favor.
• Implement the "bear" defensive front that Campbell uses against run heavy teams.

Mixing Coverages and Fronts

Campbell shares his thoughts and philosophy of defending the RPO from 3x1 formations. He diagrams fronts and coverages that he uses to give the offense a variety of looks. See how to:

• Change the base cover 4 scheme to handle the RPO game from 3x1 sets.
• Use several front games to change the gap responsibilities for the defensive line and linebackers.
• Use Campbell's "lock" call that allows the defense to gain an extra defender against teams that run the ball weak out of 3x1.
• Run some 4 and 5 man pressures to remain aggressive against teams that use RPOs.

Ultimately, Coach Campbell shows you how to be aggressive and technically sound versus the RPO. He shows you the 3-4 defense he uses in order to defend the spread offense as it continues to evolve across all levels.

Under Coach Campbell's direction, the Montana Tech Defense finished in the top 25 in the nation in eight categories in 2016, including 11th in scoring defense, holding opponents to 19.2 points per game. This followed a 2015 season in which his defense finished in the top 25 nationally in seven categories. He has guided at least one linebacker to All-Conference honors in each of his six seasons as coach.

The Havoc 3-4 defense is designed to bring pressure by stemming and disguising where it's coming from. BJ Campbell explains his philosophy of creating a disruptive defense that focuses on creating negative plays and turnovers. He discusses four different types of plays the outside linebacker must master: line of scrimmage plays, box plays, space plays, and blitz and pressure plays. Alignment, rules and pursuit angles are shown for each.

Campbell goes into detail about his teaching progression, and specifically, focuses on how to teach linebacker play from a standpoint of what the linebackers are asked to do in the hybrid 3-4 defense.

Keys, Reads, Footwork and Block Destruction

Using game footage, Campbell explains and illustrates the various reads, keys, footwork, and block destruction techniques that he teaches to his linebackers. You'll learn:

• Specific reads and run fits in the hybrid 3-4 defense against a variety of offensive schemes, including popular spread offense concepts.
• Several techniques for defeating blocks, including a long-arm technique and a splatter technique that is becoming popular among.
• defensive coaches across the country.
• Block destruction techniques that are effective with inside linebackers, including the rip and post.

Blitz and Pressure

Campbell shares his coaching points for teaching players to blitz and pressure. He shares coaching points for teaching both edge rushers as well as interior blitzers. You'll see how to teach stance, aiming point, get off, and keys for the edge rusher. Additionally, Campbell explains how to coach interior rushers on aiming points and how to time the get-off in the blitz.

Hand Combat Arsenal

Most players will get a sack due to their best move, and not every technique will fit into every player, so having different techniques for different players will allow them to use their strengths. Coach Campbell teaches the critical elements in getting sacks with his hand combat arsenal that includes:

• Chop, dip, rip
• Club, pop, swim/rip
• Double wiper
• Speed to the ball/rush

Linebacker expectations are also covered, including a list of tangibles and intangibles linebackers must have to be successful.

The techniques shown in this video for the outside linebacker in the hybrid 3-4 give you the tools to combat the most daunting offenses on your schedule.

Michigan State Ranked #1 in the Big Ten and #8 nationally in 2012 for Rush Defense

Pat Narduzzi has elevated Michigan State's defense to one of the top run-stopping units in the country. Using their base over defense, Michigan State's defense allowed only one 100-yard rusher the entire 2010 season.

In this DVD, Narduzzi outlines his philosophy and principles for stopping the run by using a simple base defense. His "chalkboard" discussion shows how to keep it simple, which allows the defense to play fast and physical.

He demonstrates how using the over front gets nine men in the box, allows linebackers to run to the ball, and easily adjusts to any offensive scheme. With simple front adjustments, your opponent's favorite run plays can be stuffed at the line of scrimmage.

Narduzzi uses game footage to show how Michigan State's defense "builds a wall" at the line of scrimmage to stop the run. The sideline and end zone clips give you a great visual of how this defense allows for aggressive play while maintaining gap integrity.

The 4-3 over defense presented by Coach Narduzzi is sound against any scheme, easy to learn, and will no doubt allow your defense to play fast and physical.

In this DVD, Narduzzi presents the philosophies, principles and alignments for the 4-3 Cover 4 Defense. Now your defense can improve its pass coverage the same way Narduzzi elevated Michigan State's defense to one of the top units in the country ranking 23rd in the nation for Turnovers & Takeaways. Utilizing Cover 4 and aggressive player techniques has allowed Michigan State to become one of the conference's top defenses.

Using high quality game footage, Narduzzi teaches how to utilize Cover 4 versus a variety of formations and passing concepts. This video is a great learning tool for the intermediate to advanced level coach who wants to improve their 4-3 defenses pass coverage scheme.

Michigan State's 4-3 Cover 4 begins with corner play. Narduzzi's corners use press coverage which is unique in Cover 4. Intense press coverage will force opposing receivers into bubble releases, inconsistent routes, slow routes and will foster aggressive play by your defense. Safety and linebacker play are also covered extensively prior to coach reviewing Michigan State game film.

Gain valuable insight into coverage rules, fundamentals, keys, adjustments, and philosophies of the 4-3 over quarters coverage. Not only does Narduzzi cover a multitude of concepts, more importantly he explains why he believes so strongly in his defensive system. Narduzzi has carefully orchestrated this defensive system over 20 years and it has proven successful at every coaching stop along the way.

Olathe Northwest (KS) High School Head Coach;
former Luther College Head Coach;
former William Penn University Co-Offensive Coordinator/Offensive Line Coach;
2010 Midwest League Champions; 2008 Midwest League Assistant Coach of the Year

Coach Hafner's Flexbone attack led the Iowa Conference for five straight seasons (2013-17). During that time his offense ranked in the top-10 of the NCAA D-III in rushing yards per game, including finishing second in 2014. In 2017, Luther set a single season school record of 3,409 rushing yards and also tied the single game rushing record (579).

The Flexbone offense can win championships at every level because of its ability to run the ball and produce big plays in the passing game. This is your opportunity to learn what makes the Flexbone so difficult to defend!

Aaron Hafner uses a PowerPoint as well as game film to break down the dynamic run game in his Flexbone offense. The offense is diagrammed against odd and even defenses as well as the adjustments used versus each front.

The Flexbone has a read key and pitch key on each play. Coach Hafner believes in teaching the entire team both on every play implemented so everyone has a better understanding of the offense and so players will have fewer mental mistakes on game day.

Three Triple Option Plays

Coach Hafner uses diagrams and shows several clips of game footage to illustrate three triple option plays. Each play is designed to attack a specific gap, which allows the offense to read a specific player rather than block that player. Hafner shows examples of each play with adjustments against several common defensive fronts, including the 4-3, 6-1, 3-3, 3-4, and bear defensive fronts. You will:

• Learn the basic inside veer play which attacks the B gap, including how to identify the dive key and pitch key against several different fronts.
• Learn the midline triple play which attacks the A gap and allows the offense to read a dominant interior lineman.
• Learn the outside veer play which attacks the C gap and allows for the quarterback to get to the perimeter more quickly. It also allows the offense to attack a tight end side with a triple option scheme.
• See how Hafner uses formations, motions, and various personnel groups to give the defense different looks while maintaining the same plays for his offense.

Three Double Option Schemes

Coach Hafner diagrams the midline, belly option, and counter or freeze option against various defensive fronts, complete with several adjustments to each play. The double option series is designed to attack a specific gap, but only involves the quarterback making one read rather than two. These plays are a perfect complement to the triple option series that form the base of the Flexbone scheme. You will learn:

• The midline option play which attacks the A gap like the midline triple, but features a give or QB keep option rather than a pitch component. Hafner diagrams this play against several defenses and offers key coaching points for all players to carry out their assignments.
• The belly option scheme that is designed to look like inside veer, but takes advantage of a hard squeezing defensive end. This scheme gives the offense an extra blocker at the point of attack and can be a potent weapon.
• The counter and freeze option play which gives the offense a counter scheme while maintaining a pitch phase. Hafner also explains when to use the freeze tag and how it only changes two players' responsibilities.

Two Non-Option Plays

Coach Hafner concludes this presentation by diagramming the rocket toss and zone dive plays. These plays allow the offense to get the ball to a specific player rather than having to go through an option progression, and are designed to complement the option series. You will learn:

• The blocking rules and see several formation adjustments that can be used with the rocket toss. Hafner explains how the play is used to get the ball to an athletic slot on the perimeter quickly.
• How to run the zone dive play allows the fullback to make one cut based on the reaction of one down lineman. The zone dive is designed to look like the inside veer and can help the offense take advantage of over-pursuing defensive teams.

In 2017, Luther set a single season school record of 3,409 rushing yards and also tied the single game rushing record (579).

In an offense that utilizes few pass attempts, a great scheme and play action passing game is essential.

In this video, Aaron Hafner shows how to develop a strong Flexbone passing game that relies on play action passing and high percentage throws. Using on-screen diagrams and videos, Hafner breaks down the basics of his 3-step passing attack.

You'll see how Hafner uses 30 and 31 personnel to take advantage of a versatile tight end. Additionally, you will discover the benefits of using a 3-step drop and how you can use three types of play action (drop back, sprint outs and boots) to help complement your running game.

Formations

Learn how to use 30 and 31 personnel, plus a versatile tight end, to gain mismatches versus a defense. You will learn:

• How to use 6 formations in 30 personnel, such as: Spread Wide, Spread Mid and Spread Trips.
• How to use 6 formations in 31 personnel, such as: Spread TE Flex, TE Attached Trips and Double Attached TE.
• How to gain leverage on safeties by using multiple formations.

3-Step Drop

Coach Hafner gives you the keys to build your 3-step drop passing game. You'll learn how to get easy reads for your quarterback and how to get 1-on-1 match-ups for your receivers. Hafner presents the four primary routes used in this offense:

• The Hitch route and concept; used when the corners are soft.
• The Slant route; used versus Cover 3 and a great way to attack the curl zone.
• The Fade route; used versus press coverage, allowing for home run plays.
• The Down route; similar to the Slant, used versus 2 High coverages.

Play Action Passing Game

The play action off of the Inside Veer is the "bread and butter" in Coach Hafner's offense. It is critical to keep the secondary from playing the run only. You'll see how seven route combinations such as Post/Wheel, Slot Verticals and Smash/Corner are used in play action football. You will also see:

• How to take advantage of an aggressive secondary.
• How to get your QB on the move to utilize their running abilities.
• How to sell the rocket toss and inside veer toss to set up your play action pass.

Coach Hafner details how the use of three variations of play action football (drop backs, sprint outs and boots) can effectively develop your passing game. The Sprint Out allows the quarterback to run if the route scheme is covered. The Boot passing game presents additional pressure for the defense with the use of misdirection to take advantage of the weak side when the defense over-commits to the run game.

Pass Protections

Learn how to use three simple protections to have a drop back or play action passing game versus both odd and even defenses. The simplicity of the scheme means few mental errors up front. You will also see:

• How to block even fronts with man protection and how to block odd defensive fronts with slide protections.
• How to get your center to make the correct protection calls.
• How to use fan blocking techniques when doing play action boots.

This video is a must-have for coaches who want to have their Flexbone quarterbacks make quick decisions, get wide receivers 1-on-1 match-ups, and run simple offensive line protections.

The Boot passing game presents additional pressure for the defense with the use of misdirection to take advantage of the weak side when the defense over-commits to the run game.

Pass Protections

Learn how to use three simple protections to have a drop back or play action passing game versus both odd and even defenses. The simplicity of the scheme means few mental errors up front. You will also see:

• How to block even fronts with man protection and how to block odd defensive fronts with slide protections.
• How to get your center to make the correct protection calls.
• How to use fan blocking techniques when doing play action boots.

This video is a must-have for coaches who want to have their Flexbone quarterbacks make quick decisions, get wide receivers 1-on-1 match-ups, and run simple offensive line protections.

Coach Hafner's Flexbone attack led the Iowa Conference for five straight seasons (2013-17). During that time his offense ranked in the top-10 of the NCAA D-III in rushing yards per game, including finishing second in 2014. In 2017, Luther set a single season school record of 3,409 rushing yards and also tied the single game rushing record (579).

Nothing frustrates or demoralizes an opposing defense more than a running attack they can't stop. The Flexbone isn't new, but it has undoubtedly earned its right to be respected when run correctly. In this video, Aaron Hafner, with years of experience as a Flexbone coach at the college level, shows you how to build a championship-caliber Flexbone offense.

Offensive Line Drills

No offense on earth can be productive without the beasts up front. The Flexbone offense requires specific blocking schemes, which means specific repetitions to get your players to execute with muscle memory on game day. Coach Hafner uses a PowerPoint, practice film, and a whiteboard to diagram the offensive line drill progression in the Flexbone offense, including:

• Chute progression drills to teach the drive block.
• Double team blocking across the line.
• Veer releases and how to get linemen to the second level of the defense.
• Long and short scoop blocking schemes to cut off backside pursuit.
• A two bag drill to teach linemen how to come off the first level defender and attack the second level linebacker.

Running Back Drills

Running backs are the thoroughbreds of the Flexbone, and they need special attention if you're going to execute the amazing triple option. In this portion of the video, you will see:

• Bag drills for agility.
• Ball drills for ball handling and keeping possession.
• Pitch drills.
• Mesh drills.
• 2 ball drills for situational football.
• Full read drills for the triple and double options.

Wide Receiver Drills

Some coaches may think that receivers get neglected in the Flexbone offense. Not so! Receivers can be 'home run hitters' by either breaking the big touchdown run with a key downfield block, or by catching the deep ball on a surprise play-action pass. Your receiving corps can be the difference between a win or loss on almost every play. In this video, you will see:

• Proper stance and get-offs.
• Cone drills for agility and routes.
• ABC/Mirror drill for stalk blocking.
• Slam drill for crack blocking.
• 3-on-3 drill for quick screens and the general passing game.

Sometimes, coaches implement an offense without understanding the necessary drill work to make the offense work properly. That problem is eliminated with these breakdown drills for the Flexbone from Coach Hafner!

The Run Pass Option (RPO) has become widely used around the nation. In this video, Coach Padilla breaks down the 4-2-5 defense and the approach it takes when scheming against a spread offense that utilizes a strong RPO system. Padilla takes you through the keys and responsibilities for each player and the discipline that is needed in order to avoid getting exploited by the RPO.

Coach Padilla begins with the philosophical approach to his 4-2-5 defense, plus overall team goals and visions. He then takes you through various adjustments made versus formations that are commonly used when creating RPO situations. He shows his no-huddle procedure, which is vital because most RPO teams run a lot of no-huddle throughout a game.

Stopping the Run Game

Typical RPO teams will try to run an abundant amount of plays in order to break your players down mentally and physically. The defensive philosophy is centered on defending the middle of the defense, spilling the ball to the outside, and getting an extra defender at the point of attack. Padilla explains the different roles each player has and how those roles can adjust against multiple formations and personnel. He covers which players become the:

• Spill player
• Extra player
• FPB
• Launch player
• Shuffle Squeeze player

Next, Padilla breaks down the run game - with simple adjustments to multiple formations - into Zone, Gap, inside run, and outside run schemes.

Both sideline and end zone game film gives a clear picture of each play. All formations and looks are covered as Coach Padilla does an excellent job of coaching you through the different formations, sets, and plays in the RPO offense.

Slowing Down the No-Huddle

A common approach for RPO teams is to run no-huddle. Padilla covers how he coaches his system to adjust versus no-huddle, including the communication process pre- and post-snap. It will help your defensive line get lined up immediately and then look for signals. Meanwhile, your inside backer will get the front call and your safeties will get the coverage/pressure calls while the corners stay outside the hashes.

Stay on the cutting edge with Coach Padilla as he breaks down the essential components to stop the RPO spread system!

Do you want something different for your defense? Are your players smaller than what traditional power defenses require? Then this is the defensive scheme for you! The 4-2-5 allows you to play aggressive defense even if your athletes are smaller than the average team.

The 4-2-5 defense allows defensive coordinators to send players each play and blitz from all angles of the field. Using diagrams and film, Caleb Padilla focuses on the blitz package that is built into his 4-2-5 scheme and how to work with various coverage schemes. He discusses the vital communication that is needed to eliminate mistakes while telling players where they need to be.

Coach Padilla illustrates how he hides the blitzer based on where the ball is placed, the offensive formation, or the wide side of the field. This creates an advantage for the defense as the offense won't know who's coming. He also breaks down how to blitz versus run/pass teams and power teams.

4-2-5 Blitz Schemes

Coach Padilla breaks down various blitz techniques and responsibilities, including:

• Smoke Blitzes - Brings edge pressure with a safety or corner. A simple call system allows you to pressure the offense based on either field position or formation sets. The Double Smoke blitz is a good pressure to use to bring six defenders, especially in the red zone or short yardage situations.
• Bullets Blitz Package - Brings one of the inside backers to disturb the run game. It adds another defender in the blitz and is effective against 21 personnel, especially if they are run heavy.

Both sideline and end zone game film gives a clear picture of each blitz in action.

Coach Padilla also shows you his middle of the field coverage, "Magic." This allows you to bring the free safety down as the strong safety blitzes, and rotate the backside safety over the top. With the Magic coverage concept, it's man coverage when it needs to be man, and zone coverage when it needs to be zone.

If you're looking for an aggressive defense that will allow you to create pressure from all angles of the field, this video from Coach Padilla is a great resource!

The 4-2-5 defense is built to defend the spread offense, as it presents more coverage schemes and coverage players to defend the full length of the field, side to side. The coverages are vital to the success of the 4-2-5 as it looks to defend the perimeter and passing game of the spread offense.

In this video, Coach Padilla focuses on the his pattern read and match coverage concept that is built into his 4-2-5 scheme, plus how it works with various run fits and blitz schemes. When offenses try to manipulate the defense by exchanging their players with alignment or routes, it's imperative that the secondary of a defense can keep their leverage. This is where the pattern read and route matching scheme works the best. Padilla explains the coverage responsibilities and adjustments that are made from each position of the 4-2-5, whether you are covering an outside receiver or slot back.

You'll see Coach Padilla break down the coverage structure of the two deep safety coverage, and he also explains single high coverage looks. The approach to these schemes focuses on the quarterback drop backs you'll see in any offensive scheme.

Quarters Coverage

Coach Padilla like to run quarters coverage because it provides easy adjustments versus formations or wide receiver splits, allows for a "plus one" in the run game, matches four vertical routes with ease, and gives safety help to the corners.

You'll see how Padilla uses a "Slot" call versus a 2-by-2 set when the number one and two receivers are in a split that allows the safety to get over the top of any outside threat if the inside receiver runs a quick out. In "Slot," the corner rolls to the out with leverage and the safety expands to cover any vertical by the outside receiver. Words that begin with the letter "S" put the safety in force, and words that begin with the letter "C" put the corner in force.

Away side calls such as "Bronco," "Stay," and "Cone" complete the coverage package and give you tools to attack any offensive scheme.

The 4-2-5 defense separates itself from other defensive schemes through its multiple coverages. The ability to switch and disguise coverages lends a great advantage to a defense, which is why this defense typically finds its strength versus a spread offense. Learn how to implement it yourself with this fantastic video from Coach Padilla!
