Yeah I’m with you too I really like IZ and it’s a staple in my offense. However the gap schemes are a little easier to teach early on which is why I would start out with power, and counter. I wouldn’t want to mix a zone scheme with a gap scheme right from the jump. IZ wouldn’t be far behind though. Totally agree with its versatility.

Yes sir it’s a great drill. Highly effective.

Good stuff coach. Did it work well for you?

@CoachRossFootball the formation did well for us because we could usually force cover 1/0 especially when we'd motion

The counter itself hit big because we used Jet and Buck Sweep a few times to the boundary with it and even ran QB Counter off the same look with the BASH option

@anthonyarinaga9086 that’s exactly it coach. This type of motion is an extremely versatile tool to add that doesn’t change much but can really mess with a defense.

@anthonyarinaga9086 I love it coach. Would love to have a conversation with you about it and gain some more ideas. Thanks

HAHA! Yeah Coach we may not agree with our teams, but always here to try and provide helpful insight and ideas.

@@CoachRossFootball 😁

Absolutely. I’ve coached with a coach primarily a wing-t guy and we used air raid principles in the passing game aside from the usual wing T pass plays like waggle or divide. The trick is finding a few you’re good at and teach the grass principles and reading space. Key is practice.

I don’t have a playbook for 7v7. We typically run our normal stuff in 7v7. Like snag, stick, smash, fade out vs cover 2 and 3. Mesh and shallow vs man switch routes with 4 verts. Typically use our base formations out of 2x2, 3x1, and empty

Yes that was against a cover 3

I’m glad you enjoyed the series. And I hope it’s been helping. I think the air raid could work in your situation. The air raid relies on space. What better to help then with a wider field for a defense to defend. You can do a lot with that extra player. What I might do is use a player deep in your concept to occupy the safety to that side of the field and from there you take one defender out and you’ll have your typical triangle read.

@CoachRossFootball right that makes a lot of sense! I have to remember speed in space so the exact layout of the defence doesn't matter as much. Again thanks so much!

@gregk7916 no problem. Anytime you need help, or have a question feel free to reach out. Glad I could help.

When I am drawing out the play I am using Hudl. At the very end where you see players on the field I am using Go Army Edge.

Well…. you saw it so it must not be no one. I think you answered your own question bud.

Yeah I could do that

I appreciate it coach. Thank you for the offer to come on. Would love to do it.

My rule for every quick game out of 2x2 is RB is always part of the concept. Therefore he’s running the shoot/swing. Middle receiver in stick for example is the stick route and outside has the vertical. 3x1 Rb is never part of the concept unless we tag something.

@CoachRossFootball I got the Army app. Thank you. You on Twitter?

Glad I could help. Yes sir : Coach Jason Ross is my Twitter.

I’m using HUDL to diagram these plays

@@CoachRossFootball is that something anyone can purchase?

@vhype233 HUDL you have to purchase and it’s not exactly cheap. However if you’ve seen some my earlier videos I used and still use to this day a free program called Go Army Edge. I recommend using that. It’s free!!!

The base schedule would look the same as far as the flow. I would cut out a couple of the situation periods like first and third down, and replace them with straight team reps on air or with the kids you have a makeshift front seven for one series and then a back 7 for another series. The focus on Indy or group would be a lot of fundamentals and less scheme. I would drop the mesh and rpo periods and extend screen and ROA periods.

Yes I can. What is your email?

I appreciate those kind words Coach! Coach Mitch puts out some great content. I do what I can to help others out as much I can. I’m glad you’re enjoying it.

I agree. TE hidden backside could be a good variation. Especially at the middle school level.

With BOB pass pro particularly your 3 interior (2G’s and C) linemen are responsible for nearest defender to their inside gap. Tackles protect B-C gaps. QB is responsible for Mike. RB typically if he’s in pass pro would pickup most dangerous off weakside edge. This is how I teach it. I feel that BOB is best overall be a in our offense we want the ball gone as fast as possible, combine that with our line splits and depth it gives us more time. I would say half slides are best for those traditional drop back passes where the full field is in play, and the slide shores up backside protection. Typically don’t let QB or C change or mess with protection, the basic rules typically are good enough to provide protection. We do have them communicating though with what they see, strengths and pressures etc. There is no one size fits all rule with regards to splits and depth. I like the 3 foot splits and having the next most outside linemen line his toe with the nearest interior linemen’s heel. The idea with wide splits and trying to stretch depth as far as possible is that more space creates more time. Just because you linemen have backed up a bit doesn’t mean the d line can move up, they can’t cross the LOS. So you’ve created just a little more distance and coupled with your linemen getting into vertical drops that’s just that much further a d linemen has to go before he engages and truly gets into his pass rush. Then by using wide splits you essentially have the d line widen out which puts every d linemen further from the QB creating more space. D line has to respect their gaps otherwise you simply pinch them inside all game and run outside until they adjust.

Possibly. But a good coach knows how to beat the blitz, and in fact welcome the blitz. I for one love it when a team blitzes. That’s one or two less in coverage.

Offensive stats say otherwise

@@ZipTieGuyItRhymes for?

Yes sir I can do that. What is your email? Plus we can do a zoom call to run through it if you want. Give me like a day or so. I’m out of town for the weekend.

What is your email address?

Yeah I think you could. No total right or wrong way, the best way is the one that works

I use 3 ft splits and that pull to the LB has never been much of an issue. Counting on the LB to read and fit the run which typically brings him to the block. from there the RB simply reads the block and reacts. I posted a picture of how I would draw it up against an odd front in the community tab if you'd like to see.

@@CoachRossFootball I’m talking about the BST scooping a 3, 2, or 2i

@mythikos3535 ok I thought you were talking about the puller. Well to be honest if I saw a 2 or 2i I wouldn’t be calling power away from that look if at all. So I agree with a 2 or 2i that’s a tough block. We typically see a 4 in that type of look, but a 3 might be difficult but not impossible.

@@CoachRossFootball gets tricky if you’re facing a team that likes to stem their front at the snap.

@mythikos3535 yeah I agree and hope we see that so we can adjust. Plenty of things that can be done to take them out of that.

I feel your true drop back game is better out of 2x2. Plays like cross, shallow cross, mesh work better out of a 2x2 set.

@@CoachRossFootball I agree, Thx Coach!
