Run-Pass-Options are becoming increasingly popular at various levels of football due to the pressure they put on the defense to make a decision. If you're wanting to start running RPOs on your own team, or simply want to add more ideas to your current RPO package, then this video featuring Josh Gattis is a great resource.
How and Why Michigan Runs RPOs
Coach Gattis begins his presentation by giving an overview of the Michigan philosophy regarding RPOs. He explains that the RPO is a way for the offense to keep the defense from overloading the box to defend the run. At Michigan, the RPO is a way to help the offense be able to run the football against favorable numbers in the box. Gattis also explains the importance of being able to protect the quarterback against pressure looks that the defense will run. You'll see several examples of how Michigan protects the QB against the 7th and 8th man on the defense if they try to pressure the QB. In all, you'll get:
Michigan's Main RPO Scheme
Coach Gattis continues by diagramming the main RPO used at Michigan with both 6-man and 7-man run schemes. He then shows several examples, using practice video, of the main RPO concept that Michigan uses. Route running mechanics as well as QB read progression are explained in great detail against several defensive looks.
During the course of the presentation, Gattis shows several examples of the most common ways teams try to defend their RPO scheme. He also covers adjustments that can be made to the RPO concept that allows the offense to have a favorable match-up.
This is a valuable video presentation of Michigan's base RPO concept. Coach Gattis does a thorough job explaining what you need to know to implement this scheme and always have an advantage over the defense!

2013 District 6-4A Defensive Assistant Coach of the Year
Mark Teague, head coach and athletic director at Bolton High School in Louisiana, delivers a great overview on why his program adopted the single wing offense and how it helped them become more competitive. In this video, Teague breaks down the evolution of Bolton's single wing offense, the personnel needed to run the offense, and also covers the most common formations and terminology that you need to implement the single wing within your own program.
Single Wing Introduction and Personnel
As Coach Teague says, the single wing offense is a physical brand of football. Leaning heavily on a ground-and-pound approach, the single wing gives you an advantage because opponents have a hard time preparing for it since they are likely more accustomed to guarding spread formations that have grown in popularity recently. Because the single wing is a physical approach, as time ticks away in games, your opponents' will will be taken away as they struggle to counter the smash mouth style.
In order to set the stage, Teague breaks down the base personnel needs of the single wing offense prior to covering the traits that are desired for every position. Thanks to this section, you'll be able to easily identify and plug in the players on your roster that fit each position.
Formations and Terminology
With personnel needs taken care of, you can begin implementing the formations that make up the bread and butter of the single wing offense. Coach Teague covers essential formations like the 9 formation, 8 formation, bear formation and spinner formation in detail. He also gives you formation shifts to help you further confuse the defense.
To close out the video, you'll get the terminology that Teague uses with his team that helps simplify communication in practice and on game day.
This video is a great place to start if you have interest in running the single wing offense. Coach Teague has experienced success on the field with his team running the single wing, and knows exactly what's needed to keep your offense moving the ball forward all game long!

While the ground game is the emphasis for Mark Teague's single wing offense at Bolton High School, he understands that in order to maximize his team's effectiveness, they must keep the defense honest by threatening through the air as well. In this video, you'll learn about the pass concepts used by Coach Teague that can be peppered into a ground-and-pound approach to hit opponents when they're least expecting it.
Philosophy and Routes
Teague starts by explaining that the goal of being able to pass in his single wing offense is to take advantage of when the defense stacks the box, which often opens up deep passing opportunities with receivers running wide open. Additionally, giving kids the option to pass the ball on occasion can serve as a fun opportunity in an offense that otherwise wants to be run-oriented. Various routes are diagrammed by Coach Teague, and are broken down by depth: quick, intermediate, and deep.
Pass Plays
Once he's done breaking down the routes used in his offense, Teague moves on to explaining how those routes are implemented in full plays. Slant, out, and curl routes are the quick routes covered. Waggle, 12, and 13 are the intermediate routes. And finally, 4 verts, switch, and choice are the deep routes. Coach Teague does a nice job breaking down how to make every route effective as a receiver by using correct timing and technique.
Every team should be able to pass the ball when the opportunity presents itself, even if the focus of your offense is on running the ball. This video from Coach Teague will give you some great ideas for how to pass the ball out of a single wing offense.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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:
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!

Rick Stewart gives you an overview of the entire Pistol Wing-T Offense, and apply it to your youth football program starting at a 3rd and 4th grade level and scaffolding it to build towards your high school program.
Starting with the philosophy behind the offense, Coach Stewart details how the defense can never be right due to the simply complexity of the play calling embedded in this system. He goes into explicit terminology that is critical to understanding his system. The installation of the Wing-T starts with a power-point of each of the three "families," Belly, Sweep and Down, before practice video is shown of the drills that make the offense so successful. He explains how he classifies each play into a certain family that incorporates a similar blocking scheme. He gives great coaching points for the quarterback when reading the defense he explains his term "ride and decide" when reading a lineman. Coach Stewart explains the knuckleball snap that he uses in the pistol offense.
Coach Stewart does a nice job of identifying what the three different Youth levels; Pee Wee's 3-4, Juniors 5-6, and Seniors 7-8 would be capable of executing within the offense. He also teaches them with no motion in the Lucky and Ringo formation, which is beneficial to the younger levels.
He takes it one step further by establishing the practice schedule to set youth programs up for successful implementation and transfer to the field. Coach Stewart has a very detailed approach to practice and scheduling, which he goes over with you on the video. The practice plans are matched with drills that allow you to develop the skills needed to run this offense. The practice drills go in-depth into the small skills like football, cadence rhythm, motion timing, etc. that make this offense effective.
This DVD will give coaches an inside look at everything you will need to install the Pistol Wing-T system into their youth program. This video gives coaches the foundational bedrock needed to understand the entire run, pass, and trick play series. The philosophy, terminology, practice plans, and drills video on this DVD set the stage for full implementation of this system at all youth levels.

Rick Stewart has a background of working with youth league football. He believes it is the foundation for any successful football program. Coach Stewart takes to the field to explain a step-by-step progression of how to develop a passing game that is built off of the run game. Stewart's passing game is simplistic enough to be executed at a high level within a youth program.
Coach Stewart goes through an overview of the Pistol Wing-T passing, starting with game different rules to use in the passing game. He gives examples of different rules that he has added youth humor to help the players remember their rule.
From there, Coach Stewart goes through an in-depth walk-through of the basic pass protections against multiple fronts. He walks you through how to pick up blitzes by the defense while making adjustments to the pass protection with the play-action, chop, and sprint out passing families.
Coach Stewart then progresses to the routes, terminology, and adjustments to the play-action game against multiple defensive fronts using the sweep, belly, down, and dive run fits. He shows you different ways of attacking various defenses with the chop passing family, which is similar to the one-step passing game. He does an amazing job of describing how to first exploit defensive backs by using pass plays to the wide receivers followed by the running backs and finally the tight ends.
Finally, Coach Stewart does an outstanding job of using the speed of youth quarterbacks with the sprint out family passing routes. This series puts tremendous pressure to protect outside and will allow for the running game to open up in the middle as the outside is attacked with the sprint out family. He also shares the fundamentals for running a great wrap around draw that will help negate a strong pass rush, which gives an offense a way to keep the defense off balance.
Throughout each phase of the passing game Coach Stewart masterfully walks coaches through progression of when to call each play based on how the defense is reacting to the run game and how the defense is adjusting to various offensive formations. These adjustments are vital when making game time decisions that can make the difference on game day.
It is all demonstrated on the field and on the whiteboard as coach presents when and how to make the right pass call fro your team.
With an easy to follow approach Stewart provides an in-depth look at a successful way to have your athletes succeed at the youth level. Implement this approach for your program next season for quick and efficient success.

Do you have a plan on how to attack multiple defensive fronts and the techniques in those defenses? If not, Rick Stewart gives you a blueprint on attacking every defense you will see with formations and his play series from the Sweep, Down and Belly families.
Coach Stewart starts by looking at multiple formations that outnumber the defense at the point of attack to create blocking angles making the Pistol Wing-T so devastating. Stewart aligns the defense and how they can adjust in various ways, while showing how each formation will take advantage of those adjustments. See how the X-Tight formation creates an unbalanced line giving the offense a numbers advantage at the point of attack. Learn how you can run the "Wildcat" out of the empty set putting your best runner at QB to take advantage of the holes created be spreading out the defense.
Coach then breaks down off balance and trick formations to run plays in the short yardage, medium yardage, and long yardage situations. Many plays have built in options that allow the offense to run multiple plays depending on defensive adjustments to the formations all of the plays specifically and how they are executed both on the board and on the field. Coach breaks down his plays into categories:
He draws all of his plays on the board with their formations and then take it to the field to see these plays in motion. He does a fantastic job using the terminology established in the first video to easily call various formations that players will be able to adjust to. He breaks down each formation and walks through every trick play or un-conventional play that can be run out of those formations based on how defenses might line up.
There is much more to this video as Stewart shares his game script with you as well as how he reads the defense to call his offense. You will learn how to attack a penetrating defensive line, when to attack the flank of the defense, what plays to run versus a 3 technique and what plays to run away from one
If you are a youth football coach and looking for an edge this upcoming season, Rick Stewart's trick plays can do just that. With youth defenses rarely adjusting to unique formations or unbalanced looks, this will be a sure fire winner for your collection.

One of the most understudied/understood parts of successful athletic programs, at all levels, is the importance of quality practice planning and organization of every practice. Coach JT Curtis is a master of organization and in this DVD, he covers every period of the Patriots practices.
Curtis urges coaches to never go to any practice without a plan that is shared with all of your coaches. He also shows examples of his practice plans and the extreme detail every period gets. Four keys to every practice are covered in this video starting with scripting plays for both offense and defense. Curtis then covers the importance of getting your second string players enough quality reps. Strategically scheduling breaks within practice will allow your practices to run move effectively.
The final key Coach Curtis emphasizes is practice tempo - running practices at a high tempo allows you to simulate game situations more effectively and avoid wasting practice time on conditioning as a separate focus.
"Practices are truly where championships are won!"

"What would happen if someone came out with a Single Wing Offense against the Green Bay Packers?" asked a reporter. "It would embarrass the heck out of us!" answered Vince Lombardi.
Simplicity is the key for a successful running game. In this video, Coach Nick Codutti will break down his 'bread and butter' wide zone run game that is almost always guaranteed to net positive yards!
Coach Codutti stresses the importance of keeping it simple for all players to learn their roles in the play. You don't need to be the biggest or fastest player to be successful with this run.
Running Backs
Coach Codutti explains what the running back is looking for, where he needs to run to, and the importance of getting vertical. By using different formations to run the same play, defenses get confused on what is happening and the offense will exploit and score on that confusion. You will see how they teach the wide zone fundamentals to running backs; this is critical as the wide zone concept has very specific rules to follow by the backs - this video presents them well!
Quarterback Play
Coach Codutti will break down the quarterback play in the wide zone as well. Codutti shares how to use the quarterback to hold opposite defensive end and outside linebackers so they won't be able to stop the run as well as teaching how to use the quarterback to run the wide zone to be a dual threat. Teaching the wide zone fundamentals to the quarterbacks is important because the quarterback will help set up the running backs on the path and also be a fake with their boot to help keep the heat off the backs.
Offensive Line
From there the video brings in other coaches that discuss how they teach the offensive line to run the wide zone blocking scheme. Teaching the wide zone blocking fundamentals to
the OL is critical because there are very specific rules that must be followed by the OL; this video does an excellent job of explaining the frontside and backside blocks/combos.
Placing all these features together will make the wide zone your go to running play in the seasons ahead!
55 minutes. 2024.
If you have the wide zone in your offense, you will need boot action and keepers to keep the defense honest and create explosive plays in the passing game. Coach Codutti will teach you multiple ways to run the boot play and other keepers off of your run game to help keep defenses guessing and putting points on the board.
In 2022 Condutti's Fulshear HS offense averaged 15.8 yards per completion because of their play action and boot game, and in this great video, you will learn how to make that a part of your offense as well.
Multiple Film Clips
Coach Codutti and the Fulshear staff are going to show you multiple examples of all of the different ways you can run the boot play off the wide zone look. You will get a number of route concepts that you can run while coaching the finer points of each.
There is a detailed breakdown of each position group's assignments and adjustments to help you coach the play to be as effective as possible. Using both his own film and assembled film from other top programs, you will get examples of every imaginable way you can incorporate the wide zone boot into your offense.
Explosive plays from multiple looks
Creating shot plays off of your run looks should be the goal of any offense. The boot off of the wide zone will leave receivers running wide open for easy scores. You'll learn how to throw 2 man, 3 man, and 4 man boot concepts along with throwback screens and other complementary plays. Coach Codutti's team threw for over 3,000 yards off of this play alone in his last season at Tomball High School in Texas.
Defense will be left guessing as multiple formations and route combinations create unpredictable situations for them to defend. This play by itself can single handedly transform your passing game into a lethal attack that will create an explosive offense.
Learn how to make simple changes to expand the options on the play and get more mileage out of simple looks. A rules based approach will always have your players understanding their assignments to create confidence in your attack.
This video is a must have for anyone running a zone based offense!

At every stop in his career, Coach Nick Codutti has installed the wide zone with great success. In this video, Codutti explains how you can make it a staple in your offense arsenal as well.
The wide zone puts defenses in conflict, makes them run sideline to sideline, and has simple adjustments to make it work against any defensive look you will see. In 2022, the Fulshear HS (TX) offense averaged 8.8 yards per carry on wide zone; Coach Codutti and his staff are going to share the secrets on how they did it!
This video features detailed explanations of how the play works while showing multiple video examples of how the intricacies of it all work together.
Offensive Line Play
Coach Codutti's staff will show you how to install this play in a systematic way that allows your offensive line to block it against any defensive alignment or pressure. Because the rules are so simple, they can be applied to every position along the offensive line including your tight ends.
Codutti's staff will walk you through multiple video clips and explain the coaching points on each one of them to you. You will see many different ways you can run the play from multiple looks without any changes to the scheme up front. The four rules of wide zone will be explained using film with multiple examples of how to apply each of them to your program.
Coaching the Backfield
Allow your backs to play fast without thinking using a simple system of 'If/Then' rules. Those same rules can be applied to any ball carrier who runs the play, whether it be a running back, quarterback, or simply a talented player lined up in a Wildcat set that you need to find a way to get touches. Create a one cut run scheme that grinds opponents down and becomes more explosive as the game wears on.
Coach Codutti shows you how you can use this play in multiple ways to stress a defense and begin to build play action boot passes off of it. This video will show you how you can force a defense to play discipline and then use their rules against them to create explosive plays in the run game.
In this terrific video, you will learn the basics that will allow you to master the wide zone and help your team become lethal in the run game!

High school football today is all about spreading the field and throwing the ball around. This leaves a huge opportunity to be different and unique. What better way to frustrate defenses than to use an offense made productive by the likes of Barry Switzer and Bear Bryant?
Using whiteboard diagrams and film footage, 47-year veteran of high school football, Mike Rude, explains in detail the base plays needed to run a multiple formation wishbone attack. Coach Rude explains all the necessary blocking rules, techniques, and schemes for a formidable rushing offense.
Multiple Formations
Prepare to eat up your opponent's practice time when you show multiple formations that enable you to expose your opponent's weaknesses on defense. Rude explains the basic play calling terminology, formations and alignment rules for each position. He then diagrams several formations, including ends tight, ends out, double tight-double wing, flex, patriot, army; and several unbalanced formations including green, heavy, and over.
Coach Rude also diagrams how he can tag formation calls to move a receiver or halfback into an alternate alignment to give the defense a different formation to defend. You'll get the terminology Rude uses to make this happen.
The Base Plays
This video will show you the base plays that you should use to attack and expose your opponent's defense. Coach Rude demonstrates multiple points of attack, from quick hitters inside, deadly off-tackle plays, and big play perimeter runs.
Rude diagrams 34/23, which is an off-tackle lead play that features two lead blockers, and 44/43, which is another lead play with the fullback carrying the ball. He also diagrams the belly series, buck trap series, quick pitch, and blast play. These series of plays give the offense a balanced rushing attack while being designed to outnumber the defense at the point of attack.
Blocking Schemes
Every base run play follows basic blocking rules that Coach Rude explains and emphasizes to his players, giving them the ability to never be wrong on a blocking assignment. When defenses adjust to stop your offense, Rude explains the perfect blocking scheme corrections to keep the ball and the chains moving. You'll learn how to teach:
Rude gives an explanation on why each adjustment is used and how he coaches his players to execute the various blocks. You'll also get valuable game footage of every base play to see how they look in game scenarios.
This offense is still credited with holding the NCAA record for single-season rushing average: 472 yds per game (OU 1971). What better way to send a message than with physical, running football? This video will help you learn formations, blocking schemes, and multiple points of attack that will destroy your opponent on game day!

Running the football in the age of the spread is great way to establish a hard-nosed identity with your players. What's more is a counter or option play that goes for big yards is exciting to watch. Here, you will learn from an experienced and dedicated coach that will keep your offense scoring and simply destroy your opponent on game day.
Using whiteboard diagrams and film footage, 47-year veteran of high school football, Mike Rude, explains the counter and option plays needed against well-coached defenses. Coach Rude explains all the necessary blocking rules, techniques, and schemes to keep you competitive.
The Counters & Reverses
After pounding the rock with the base plays, any well-coached defense will look to take away your "bread & butter" plays. When this happens, they'll be vulnerable to the Wishbone's misdirection plays. The counter series includes the counter fold, counter iso, fire trap, and sam reverse. Coach Rude also shows examples of each play with game video while emphasizing key coaching points.
Outside Veer
The outside veer play involves the quarterback reading the end man on the line of scrimmage as a "dive key." Coach Rude explains the read progression for the quarterback on both the dive and pitch phase of the play and also details the importance of closing the offensive lineman splits in order to make the play more efficient. He shows you how the triangle block is used against a "50" defense and the responsibilities for the load blocking halfback and pitch back.
Inside Veer and Midline Option
Coach Rude diagrams what he terms 'veer 5,' which is a triple option play designed to attack the defensive tackles. He explains the read progression for the quarterback and coaching points for the halfbacks and fullback.
You'll also see the 'veer solid,' which is designed to be run to the tight end. The "solid" call tells the tight end to block the player responsible for the quarterback on the option. This scheme simplifies the read progression for the quarterback and eliminates the defense bringing two edge players to force the quarterback to execute in a hurried manner.
The midline option is designed to attack even front defenses and is probably the easiest option play to read from the quarterback's standpoint.
Blocking Schemes
Most high schools that follow NFHS rules have outlawed cut blocking. Most colleges that run triple option football rely on cut blocking from their running backs and lineman. Thus, it's a common argument against running the triple option with Federation rules, but this is where Coach Rude's experience comes in. He'll teach how he's modified the blocking schemes with special legal blocks to keep this style of offense lethal on Friday nights.
Give your Wishbone offense attack a boost with these great counter and option looks!

Having a relentless running attack is advantageous for many reasons, but one of the added benefits is that it allows you to pass and score with great effectiveness. Mike Rude, with his years of experience at the helm of some very successful wishbone offenses, shares with you his go-to favorites for exposing defenses that sleep on the pass game.
Using whiteboard diagrams and film footage, Coach Rude explains the lethal passing attack he uses to keep defenses honest and get points on the board. He explains all the necessary blocking rules, passing routes, and coaching points to keep your team competitive.
Play Action Passing
Having a run-oriented offense like the multiple Wishbone offense will allow for some huge gains on play-action passes. Coach Rude demonstrates some of his favorites, including plays that he had problems defending as a defensive coordinator. Included are the belly bootleg pass and Harrisburg pass. Rude explains the routes, pass protection, and footwork and mechanics of the quarterback on each play. Also, Coach Rude details the read progression he teaches quarterbacks as well as several "tags" that he can add onto the play call which will adjust a specific player's routes to take advantage of how the defense is playing.
You'll also learn how to quickly modify simple play-action passes to exploit any opposing defender who's overly conscious about the run game. Without a doubt, play-action passing is the knockout blow to put away your game day opponent.
Quick Passing
Many defenses you face will put eight to nine players near the line of scrimmage to stop your offense. You can soften their attack and their reaction time with quick passing. Coach Rude diagrams what he terms "44/43 pass," a play designed to be an isolation route to the split end. He explains the blocking rules for the play and quarterback footwork and read progression. The five main routes used with this play are hitch, slant, speed out, fade, and whip read. Also, Rude diagrams how they can throw a "flare pass" to the halfback.
Run & Shoot Passing
One of the best kept secrets of Wishbone football is the fact that the modern Flexbone offense run by Georgia Tech, Army, & Navy is a hybrid of the Wishbone and the Run & Shoot offense made popular in the 1980s. An early form of the spread offense, receivers and quarterbacks would adjust routes mid-play based on how the defenders reacted after the snap. Rude has implemented some of the basic principles of this offense to use against well-coached opponents who can stop the run game. Some tried-and-true Run & Shoot plays include:
Finally, Coach Rude includes the "Air Force" pass, a highly unique passing scheme designed to throw away from the flow of the play. This scheme is sure to catch defenses off guard. Rude diagrams two main routes that he utilizes with the "Air Force" series.
As an added bonus, Coach Rude diagrams the lead draw play that he utilizes with his offense.
There's nothing like a big pass play that goes for a touchdown, and with the multiple Wishbone offense, expect to have a lot of them!

UNSTOPPABLE is the MUST read evolution of the eight year development of an offensive philosophy. It has consistently allowed Smyrna High School to average 37 points per game over that span of time. It has also helped to produce a winning percentage of .822 and 4 state championships!
This video e-book, which is loaded with diagrams, game and practice video clips, and detailed “how to do it” segments tells the entire story behind the development of an offense that married our spread attack with the old-school principles of the double-wing. The concept was born out of our desire to better control our short yardage and two-point conversion situations. It resulted in the creation of our Earthquake package and exploded into an offensive philosophy that has truly become…UNSTOPPABLE!
This philosophy is the brainchild of offensive coordinator and co-author of the book, Michael Marks, who began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at the University of Delaware during their 2003 national championship season. He has continued to coach for the past 20 years as an offensive coordinator for several high schools including Eastern Christian Academy and culminating at Smyrna High, in Smyrna Delaware. Co-author, Anthony Marks, has been in the high school football ranks for 45 years at various schools in upstate New York as both a defensive coordinator and head coach. Both authors are graduates of Ithaca College where they stand together as one of the only father/son three- year varsity football letter winners at that school.
We guarantee that UNSTOPPABLE will challenge you to rethink everything you believe about your offensive philosophy!

In Air Raid Offense I, Coach Hatcher reveals the secrets that have made Valdosta State an offensive juggernaut in DII college football today. Hatcher covers the crossing route series, mesh package, and shallow crossing route series that allowed his teams to win 46 of the first 52 games he coached at VSU. This is an offense that works effectively from multiple formations and within multiple offensive schemes. Each position is broken down with emphasis on routes for backs and receivers, rules to follow versus man coverage, 2-deep zone coverage, and 3-deep zone coverage. Each segment features game footage to demonstrate how the plays should look when run correctly and what reads should be made. Air Raid Offense II and Drills for the Air Raid Offense are excellent compliments to Air Raid Offense I.
44 minutes. 2004.
In Air Raid Offense II, Hatcher covers the third key to the Air Raid Offense: utilizing your tight end and slot receiver. Coach Hatcher teaches and diagrams plays that add diversity to your offense without confusing your players. Some quarterbacks who have excelled under the Air Raid offense are Duante Culpepper (Minnesota Vikings), Tim Couch (Cleveland Browns), and Dusty Bonner (2-time Harlan Hill Trophy Winner). Y-stick, Y-corner, all-curl, and Y-crossing are a few of the plays Hatcher shares that can be easily incorporated into your offense. Hatcher also covers progressive reads to make any quarterback successful in this offense.
50 minutes. 2004.
Coach Hatcher covers all the offensive drills you need to put your players in position to be successful running the Air Raid Offense! Six main drills are covered in extreme detail for added instruction. These are the same drills Coach Hatcher uses everyday in practice to develop his teams into high-powered offensive machines. They work such areas as the center quarterback exchange, quarterback drop, throwing accuracy, running crisp routes, and they simulate game situations. The benefit of these drills is the advance preparation simulated for players and your coaches for making offensive or defensive calls in frantic parts of the game. This video is a "must-see" for anyone looking for different ways to excite players and maximize practice time.

Hal Mumme's extensive resume has allowed him to see every offense in football. Using game footage, he shares some of the plays and explosive offensive strategies from the Air Raid Offense. Coach Mumme starts with warm-up drills. These drills are done at one-quarter speed in position groups. All receivers are involved in the Noose & Settle drill, which is a catch, tuck and turn up the field exercise. The Pat & Go is an individual drill for receivers that help develop the skill of looking the ball in over their shoulder. Performing a set of unit drills develops the quick game. A segment of quick screens is another important part of the practice routine. One-on-one passing versus defensive backs and the inside drill are valued drills within this offensive attack. Mumme wraps up this presentation with team drills and game plan.
47 minutes. 2007.
The beauty of the Air Raid Offense, according to Coach Mumme, is that players love to play this offense and fans flock to see it. To complement the passing attack, Mumme presents the basics of the Air Raid running attack. Mumme starts with the basic Iso situation. He covers the alignment and blocking technique for the Iso and the Iso Flipset. Lead Draw Iso and the three technique are displayed on overhead and by using game footage. A focus in the running game is the draw play. From the open set in pass action, the draw is used to off set the throw. Because the pass is thrown about 55 times a game, pass protection is of utmost importance. Walk throughs and extensive use of videotape aid the coach's preparation for practice and games. Teaching levels with offensive linemen is critical in this system. Also covered are the odd man front, the even man front, and nickel.
43 minutes. 2007.
Coach Mumme's offensive game plan has turned around football programs at all levels. A major focus of the Air Raid Offense is forcing the opponent to cover the entire field. Spreading the field horizontally and vertically must be understood before getting into this offensive attack. Details of the inside and outside receivers are covered in detail. Inside receivers are taught to take an outside release and occupy defenders. Teaching the concept of settle up or run is important in terms of counteracting the strategy of the defense. Mumme covers his four vertical set, which is a no back set where the tight end becomes like a running back. Another version of four verticals is Y-Sail, which is run out of several sets. The quick screen package can be seen live with use of game footage.

In this section, you will learn the nuances of the mesh play whether run versus man or zone defenses. Coach Mumme also discusses various option routes using the mesh play and provides details on how to drill this concept. Adding the "Mesh" to your playbook is sure to add points on the board.
Session 3: The Four Greatest Pass Routes in America - featuring Tom Horne
Coach Horne shares two routes you can use versus a cover 3 including a route out of a bunch formation. He also delivers two routes you can use out of an empty set to defeat a cover 4.
Session 4: Motions, Movements and Drills - featuring Pat Poore
Pat Poore passes along 11 drills for your receivers. These drills focus on extending on the catch, ball security, getting vertical as fast as possible, back shoulder catches, "rebound" the football on press coverage, and more. You'll also see his motion tree for receivers that helps create mismatches; his "Money" play in a 2x2 set that crams two plays into one; and a "Cash" play in a 3x1 set.

Faulkner University's football program is only five years old; however, with Corey Fipps's Air Raid, up-tempo offense, Faulkner has turned into an offensive juggernaut.
In just his third year as the Offensive Coordinator at Faulkner University, Coach Fipps directed his high flying Eagle offense to a record-shattering season. The Eagles led the nation in total offense, averaging 520 yards a game and Faulkner was third in the nation in scoring at 43.5 points per game in 2011.
As a former player Coach Fipps understands the need to keep concepts simple yet effective. Watch as he presents his version of the spread offense in a no non-sense approach. Experience an offense that will:
Coach Fipps diagrams his inside zone and quick screen combination plays using a power point presentation. After covering the simple run blocking rules and play mechanics, Fipps shows you several cut-ups from game footage coaching you through how the plays are executed versus multiple fronts and coverages. The unique combination of the inside zone tagged with the quick screen on the backside of the play becomes a number count for the quarterback. If the receivers on the backside have the numbers the play turns into a quick screen, if the box contains less than 6 defenders the quarterback runs the inside zone. Fipps also shows you the lethal combination out of a 3 x 1 formation in which a bubble screen is run to the strong side and a fast screen is executed to the one receiver side.
Included in this video is pop pass out of a trips formation that is tagged to the inside zone for another deadly combination. With the pop pass the quarterback reads the inside backer to determine if he throws the pop pass or executes the inside zone. Fipps tells his quarterback, "when in doubt run the zone."
Coach Fipps offers a solution to running the spread with fewer scholarship players and has the statistics to support his success. If you are looking for a way to include spread concepts in your existing offense or make a switch to the spread, Coach Fipps offers an easy to follow plan.

In 2011, the Eagles led the nation in total offense, averaging 520 yards per game. Faulkner University was also third in the nation in scoring with 43.5 points scored per game
Implementing the spread offense is about more than just the passing game. Coaches must have a strong running attack to keep defenses honest. Faulkner University has grown into a football power in a short time with the help of the Eagle spread offense.
Using a power point presentation, Coach Fipps details his Stretch, Q-Screen, Slow Screen and Fox Package before showing you game cut-ups of each play and describing the nuances that make each play successful.
Coach Fipps shows his screens from a variety of formations and motions making the screen game difficult to defend by even a championship-caliber team. These plays also help develop confidence in your quarterback by providing easy completions and they can help a struggling offensive line. The screens can become even more effective with the multiple formations and motions that are utilized and covered by Fipps.
This screen package can be installed and extremely effective from the Junior High to college level. Even a novice could find success after watching Coach Fipps present the plays.
Order now and study the nuances on how Coach Fipps has attacked defenses with both the run and screen games in route to becoming the #1 offense in NAIA in 2011.

Develop a high percentage passing game that moves the chains and scores from anywhere on the field.
Corey Fipps shares his quick game and deep passing game and shows you how simple it is to run an explosive offensive scheme that no defense will want to line up against. The Eagle no-huddle offense snaps the ball in as little as 12 seconds and the up tempo style is a nightmare for any defense to defend.
Coach Fipps presents his passing game with a power point presentation and game footage in which he coaches you up on the essentials of each play. Routes shown in the quick game include:
The deep game features four verticals and Fipps discusses simple adjustments you can use against different coverages.

FD-04576: with Neal Brown, West Virginia University Head Coach;
former Troy University Head Coach;
former University of Kentucky Offensive Coordinator, named 2011 National Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Rivals
Neal Brown's success as an offensive coordinator stems from his ability to run the Air Raid offense and adjust to defensive schemes. In this clinic lecture, Coach Brown discusses the four concepts of the air raid offense that he utilizes on third down situations. He gives detailed explanations of a quick-passing game concept, a drop-back passing game concept and two different combination run-pass plays.
Coach Brown begins by explaining the philosophy and goals behind the offense he used successfully at Texas Tech and now uses at Kentucky. Using play diagrams, rules sheets and game footage, Coach Brown breaks down his position-by-position rules, shows wide receiver routes, goes in-depth on the quarterback reads and provides extensive film cut-ups on each passing concept. This information is the backbone behind the third down concepts he explains in the remainder of the presentation.
One-Step Quick Game
The first strategy Coach Brown covers is a one-step quick game concept that utilizes a 3-by-1 formation to simplify the quarterback's reads. The concept allows for a 1-on-1 possibility on the backside and an easy read of the nickel defender on the play side.
Drop Back Passing
The second concept is a drop-back pass that creates great 1-on-1 match-ups for the offense. Coach Brown has simplified this play into an easy one-defender read for the quarterback that makes the defense wrong every time. He explains the different backside tags that take advantage of defensive adjustments and shares key coaching points like always completing the skinny post before the hash marks.
Combination Plays
Finally, Coach Brown explains two different combination run-pass plays that give the quarterback a pass/run option that will keep your team out of negative situations. The first play is a simple 3x1 formation with a one-step pass play that the quarterback can convert to a draw play. This play is a post snap read for the quarterback. The line blocks for the draw and the quarterback either throws the quick pass or hands off the draw, depending on defensive keys.
The second combo concept is from a 2x2 set that combines an inside zone run play with a backside out route that provides a simple read for the quarterback. This is a pre-snap read for the quarterback. Using an easy one-defender key of the flat defender, the quarterback exploits the defense with a quick out route or the inside zone run play.
Get three new, easy-to-utilize passing concepts designed to beat all defensive fronts and coverages, while keeping thinking to a minimum for both the quarterback and offensive line whose rules will never change.

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

The Flexbone offense, featuring triple option concepts, can be one of the most difficult offenses to defend. In this video, Coach Brad Seaburg breaks down a basic triple option play: the Inside Veer. He details keys, reads, and fundamentals by position that are necessary to install and execute the Inside Veer.
Inside Veer
First, you'll get an overview of the Flexbone offense, including some of the base formations that Coach Seaburg's team utilizes to run the Inside Veer play. Seaburg also diagrams the offensive line technique calls and slot calls to determine who the dive key and pitch key are on each play.
Four basic defensive looks are commonly seen, and each look is covered in detail. Several examples of each defensive look are given, and both good and bad examples of execution are shown for instructional purposes. Coach Seaburg explains how he teaches his team to determine who the dive key is, determine who the pitch key is, and easily identify who the play-side slot is responsible for blocking.
Position Fundamentals
Seaburg explains some of the most important fundamental skills by position that are necessary for execution of the Inside Veer. Footwork and mechanics for the quarterback and fullback are explained in detail, and practice drill footage is used that teaches and reinforces proper fundamentals. Slot back fundamentals, wide receiver blocking techniques, and offensive line fundamentals are also covered. Some of the main concepts you will learn are:
With this video, you will gain a better understanding of the Inside Veer play within the Flexbone offense!

The Flexbone offense, featuring triple option concepts, is of the most difficult offensive attacks to defend year in and year out. In this video, Coach Brad Seaburg diagrams the Midline Follow and Midline Triple plays. Coach Seaburg details the keys, reads, and fundamentals by position that are necessary to install and execute these schemes.
Midline Follow
Seaburg starts by giving an explanation of the Midline Follow play. As he explains, it is a complementary play to the Inside Veer in that it gives the offense the opportunity to make an interior lineman the dive key, and allows the offense to take advantage of defensive teams that are heavily focused on scraping 2nd level defenders to the perimeter. Coach Seaburg covers the footwork and mechanics for the quarterback and fullback, as well as blocking rules for each player. You'll learn:
Midline Triple
Coach Seaburg also diagrams the Midline Triple play. The Midline Triple is a complementary play to the Inside Veer as it is a triple option play, but allows the offense to potentially read two defensive lineman rather than block them. Seaburg goes through the Midline Triple in detail, including blocking rules for a variety of defensive alignments and a simple count system to identify the dive key and pitch key. You'll learn how to teach the twirl motion used by the slots that takes advantage of defenses that try to rotate the secondary on motion. Additionally, Coach Seaburg shows several ways to handle a "0" nose based on the gameplan, plus drills that teach and reinforce proper fundamentals for the quarterback, fullback, and slots.
The Flexbone offense and the Inside Veer play are incredibly difficult to defend. With the Midline Follow and Midline Triple schemes, your team will be ready to set records this fall!

In this video, 2x Illinois State Champion head coach Brad Seaburg diagrams three counter plays that are used to complement the base Inside Veer play. He also shares an explosive reverse play and the zone dive play, both of which are explained in detail so you can take your Flexbone offense to another level!
Counter Plays
Coach Seaburg gives three counter plays that can be utilized with the Flexbone offense: the QB counter, the rocket toss counter, and the iso counter. He also diagrams the reverse play that is utilized to take advantage of fast flowing defenses. Specifics for each position on each play are covered in detail. You will learn:
Zone Dive
Coach Seaburg wraps his excellent presentation with a detailed look at the zone dive play. The zone dive is a complementary play to the Inside Veer in which the quarterback automatically hands the ball off to the fullback. The zone dive is a necessary play because it takes some of the pressure off the quarterback and gives the coach a way to run a hand-off play to the fullback when defenses try to "muddy the read" for the quarterback. Seaburg explains how the zone dive gives the offense a way to counter the "hanging read" that can confuse some quarterbacks.
Flexbone teams are consistently among some of the most explosive and highest scoring offenses in football. The counter plays, reverse, and the zone dive shown in this video will help your Flexbone offense shred defenses in the fall!

In this video, two-time Illinois State Champion head coach Brad Seaburg diagrams the passing game that can be utilized within a Flexbone offense. The passing game is the final piece of the puzzle in terms of making any Flexbone offense a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Pass Protection
Coach Seaburg gives a detailed description of the pass protection that is used in the Flexbone offense. He explains the technique used on individual blocks for both the front-side and back-side offensive lineman, as well as fullback and slot blocking assignments and technique. Additionally, coaching points to counter the blitz are covered and several examples are shown using game footage. Coach Seaburg explains:
Pass Concepts
Next, Seaburg diagrams several of the passing game concepts he uses with his own team. Individual route mechanics, as well as quarterback footwork and ball handling are covered using both practice drill and game footage. Pass game route concepts covered include: The skinny/out, skinny/wheel, Bench/void, as well as quick game and now pass concepts. You will learn what to look for when determining whether to call a pass play, how to run the "2 minute pass drill" to work on timing and route running, and several simple yet effective ways to get the ball to a playmaker in space.
The passing game concepts of the Flexbone offense round out a terrifying scheme for defenses to cover. Add them to your playbook today!

Coach Stewart also walks you through the installation sequence in spring, summer, and August. He then shows you his daily practice plans during the season.
In easy to understand terminology, Rick Stewart shows how to develop game-changing inside linebackers in the 'Gang Green' 4-2-5 Multiple Defense, which confuses offenses by combining the 4-4, 3-4, and 4-2-5 with surprising simplicity.
By playing 20 technique linebackers over uncovered guards in all 3 defenses, linebackers are better able to make clean reads and react aggressively. This video will take you through position specific drills and explain how the inside linebackers fit into the overall scheme of this defense.
Through PowerPoint diagrams, practice demonstrations and game footage - with both end zone and sideline angles - you will learn the proper coaching points and practice drills that will allow your inside linebackers to play fast and aggressive.
In the first segment, Coach Stewart discusses the difference between fast and tough run fits. He diagrams his daily window drills with six different run fits that teach linebackers how to effectively read guards and react instinctively to offensive line blocking schemes. The team run fits for fast flow, split flow and counter flow are also discussed to provide a big picture view of inside linebacker in this scheme.
In the second segment, Stewart diagrams and shows tackling drills that specifically reinforce techniques for inside linebackers.
The third segment covers pass drops and blitz schemes utilized in the 4-2-5, 4-4, and 3-4 defenses. In the final segment it is all brought together with game footage from both the sideline and end zone angles to demonstrate how effective this method has been for Coach Stewart.
This video is ideal both for coaches looking to adopt a new defensive scheme and coaches wanting to improve the play of their inside linebackers in any 4-2-5, 3-4 or 4-4 defense.
These drills and techniques will help you develop the complete inside linebacker that plays fast and aggressive.

Build a multiple defense using the principles of the 4-2-5, 4-4 and 3-4 defenses to dominate opponents.
Rick Stewart has put together a very detailed video that will help any defense. He demonstrates how to build this system with simple alignment rules and limited assignment changes for his defensive backs and outside linebackers. You will never have to change the alignment, read, or run fit of your two inside linebackers.
Throughout the video, Coach Stewart discusses using cover 2, 3, and 4, with cloud and sky concepts. His whiteboard descriptions explain the differences in each coverage and how to use all of them with limited changes for the outside linebackers and defensive backs. He dedicates a great deal of discussion to route combinations and how they are handled in each coverage. He also includes detailed description of run fits and technique that are interchangeable between coverage schemes.
After his description of each coverage, the focus turns to individual technique and drills. As Stewart points out, his playbook determines the drills. Every drill is designed to simulate game situations seen in their multiple defensive looks. You will see whiteboard diagrams and descriptions of four drills for his backpedal progression, five tackling drills used for the defensive backs, and seven coverage drills for 1-,3-, and 5-step routes. Also covered are specific drills for the outside linebackers that concentrate on defeating four types of blocks, pass coverage and tackling. The whiteboard session is followed with on-field video of players executing each drill.
Stewart also covers group pursuit drills that are done in group sessions with only the defensive backs and outside linebackers. Using this system, your team will embody the motto, "eleven helmets, one poor soul".
This multiple defense allows for a simplistic approach to a system that will seem complex to your opponent. Your team will spend time mastering simple assignments while your opponent spends time preparing for multiple defensive strategies.
