2. The Basics Based on Double Wing Principles
Uses a non-symmetrical backfield.
Does not use the classic quick motion.
Uses an off set BB.
Uses a deep “I” set TB for a more vertical attack.
Uses SAB blocking but GOD blocking can be used.
Uses the same power running principles of the DW. Down/Double and Kick Out.
Doesn’t use the traditional balanced double tight formation but a more “traditional look”.
The preflow look of the quick motion is replaced by the offset BB, WB, and vertical set up of the TB. This gives the preflow indication of strength and play flow.
offset BB gives the BB a much easier blocking track. The ability to adjust depth gives us the ability to allow our best blocker to adapt to his blocking path and running game. The backside trap game is easier to execute (ala Markham) but we lose the playside BB trap game.
The deep set TB gives us a much more vertical and quicker attack to the LOS. It isolates the runner’s path. It reduces the chance of a chase down and forces the BSDE to chase deep if he crashes opening the inside trap and counter game.
I prefer SAB but GOD can be used very easily.

3. Play Calling Use a word association system.
FORMATION – BALL CARRIER – BLOCKING – SIDE
Bear – BB Trap - Left
BLOCKING TAGS are added either in front of the blocking call or at the end.
QB Tags are added at the end.
Pass Tags are added at the end.

4. Basic Formations
BEAR

5. Basic Formations
BULL

6. Basic Formations
BISON

7. Formation Adjustments
Over – tells the WSOT to move in between the SSTE and SST.
OVER BULL
Under – tells the SSOT to move in between the WSTE and WST.
Split – Puts two Split Ends 8 to 10 yards wide in place of the Tight Ends.
Wide – Tells the WB to split out 8 to 10 yards.

54. Passing Game
Use a modified slide protection. If mimicking a run scheme pullers still pull but seal off the LOS/kick out.
Play side line rule: slide to QB bootleg, half kick any threat outside/over, half slide with no threat outside/over.
QB boots for depth until he crosses the WB’s starting point.

55. Three Basic Slide Pro Schemes
Seal Slide
Trap Slide
Slide (for passing series)

56. Play Action Pass Forces the defense to play run first.
Added misdirection forces defenders to read assignments and then play pass.
Gives the passer more time to find the receiver as the defense must slow to play run. No ALL OUT BLITZ ON PASSER.

57. Power Series Passing WB PASS is the primary pass.
Corner route – adjust depth for age. 6 yards for younger, 10 yards for intermediate, 15 yards for high school.
Single route with max protection and run action.
Additional tags add a receiver.
BB FLAT PASS
THROWBACK PASS
TE DELAY PASS
TE DRAG PASS
TB FLAT PASS

58. Important Factors for Successful Passing
QB bootleg
QB must gain depth until he crosses the WB’s starting point. (5 to 7 yards of depth).
Once he crosses the WB’s start point he must attack the LOS so that the hips point up field.
As soon as the TB crosses his face he has a GREENLIGHT to throw the ball. Ball is up and he is looking up field.
If he feels pressure he tucks the ball and runs.
If he has a LOW read and feels pressure that route is HOT

59. Super Seal – WB Pass

60. Super Seal – BB Flat Pass
