I will, but I need an email address. Send your request to [email protected]

You are correct, you can. I copied that formation from the email that a coach sent me and was not paying attention. A friend of mine sent me a text pointing it out. I thought about correcting it, but decided to wait for one of y'all to spot it. Believe it or not, you are the first (except for my friend). Thank you for being so nice and polite. Send me an email to [email protected] and I will tell you what you won.

I have seen his offense. It is filthy; he is a GDB guy, too.

Thank you, but it is not that hot of a take. I think it is cool.

ALL of them, even 2x2 and Empty. I will admit that your choices are limited from those formations, as are any other blocking schemes. Hit me up at [email protected], and I will send you a free resource/article; "What Is the Gap-Down-Backer Blocking Scheme?"

I remember you Paul.

Thank you

Thanks, coach.

Most teams have a Wedge if, for another reason, the quarterback Sneaks. The ones that do not should. I do not think it belongs in any family of plays. The Wedge is a stand-alone play. As a coach who has majored in GDB, I used the Gap scheme terminology to teach the Wedge. I know Zone coaches who use I/S Zone terminology to teach the Wedge.

You are correct. Thanks for sharing your success.

Thank you

Thank you, and yes I do.

Yes, that’s where my son and his wife live.

The BST does a Gap-Hinge block, unless he pulls to the front side. The BSG usually pulls on GDB with a Kick or a Wrap block. If you have a TE on the backside, he will usually use Gap-Hinge.

Thanks coach. Would you mind being on my podcast? Send me an email at [email protected]

Depends on the WB. Our default was 1x1, but that didn’t last long. My rule on alignment and splits is, “Cheat to succeed.”

Send me an email at [email protected] and tell me what you want. They are all ebooks, so I can send it to you as soon as I am back on my computer. I send it to you with the info on how to pay. That way, if you do not want it, you can delete; no harm, no foul.

No, there is no need to, if you block it this way. The defense cannot scheme you out of Buck. You can Buck an Under, Tite, and 3-0-3 (Bear) front.

@CoachChip All teams do in my area is blitz. That pressure disrupts everything qb running for his life.

@@vhype233 Gap-Down-Backer is the best scheme for blitzing defenses. Every gap is accounted for and blitzing LBs will get caught in the wash of down blocks if they blitz inside gaps. Duo is also good for blitzing teams. Why? Every gap is accounted for.

Yes, she did and so did he. My college coach was on his staff at USAFA back in the early 1980s, before Coach Hatfield went to Arkansas and Coach Gailey (my HC) came to Troy in 1983.

Ran this out of direct snap unbalanced double wing with a nasty split end to the unbalanced. Jet/Fly sweep, power, Counter, Wedge, Reverse and play action passes. Youth League 8, 9, 10 year olds. Jet/Fly sweep series is a great core offense.

@@johnsergesketter5196that is a great offense. ❤

It’s easier to show you. Send me an email [email protected]

I like that! 👍🏽

Sure, call it whatever you want. 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@CoachChip My question is serious. I have told my guys for a long time that the Down part really means pick up anybody that shows up in the gap before you climb to tne next level. But Gap Down Backer rolls off the tongue a lot better.

@@yeildo1492 I wasn’t being flippant. Call it whatever works for your kids. To me, Down means a DL that’s not in your Gap, but on the OL inside of you. Ex: To an OT a 4i or 3 is in the Gap; a 2 is Down.

@@CoachChip Sorry. I did not take your response as flippant. 👍👍

My Just Play and it is AWESOME!!!

We usually based this off off each individually, f I’m year to year, but never in way that was measurable. Observable, but measurable.

We would put them in a bad situation in practice to force them to overcome adversity as a team. We would add to conditioning during the summer when they thought it was over. We would make bad calls in scrimmages to put them behind the sticks. On a crucial 3rd and short (during a scrimmage) we might take out our best RB. We tried putting them in nearly untenable situations as much as possible in practice. It worked in 2017. We woke up the day of the state title game to a snow storm. Later that day we won the state championship playing in the second championship game in the history of the state of Alabama. The first one was played in the game before us. We fell behind 15-0, in the first quarter and came back to win 34-15. Some of the older guys told us later that they now understood why we placed them in bad spots during the summer.

Thanks, that means a lot. Help us grow it by sharing it with all your friends. Thanks again.

The GH and GT counter are variations of the counter play. They often use misdirection and go against a base play. GH and GT are two similar ways to block the Counter. GH has the backside guard kicking out the DE while the H-Back is wrapping inside of his kick-out block to pick up a linebacker. GT has the backside guard kicking out the DE while the backside tackle is wrapping inside of his kick-out block to pick up a linebacker.

Your second question answered your second question. It’s the angle; it gives the BSG a relatively easy turn-out block on the 4i. If the 4i doesn’t want to be reached/dug out by the BST, he will not be dug out.

I actually have a private video on YT of me making the dough that I made several years ago. Give me your email address and I will send you the link.

If they are good enough on the backend to play you with an 8-man box, you are correct ... and probably screwed. LOL

@@CoachChip But....can you use the GDB backer scheme effectively against a 5-3? This is for 11U football. I would think the scheme would still work, just cant pull.

@@nathanwimsatt9438 YES, absolutely. You would need at least one TE.

@@nathanwimsatt9438 send me an email and I'll send you some stuff showing you how to block GDB vs a 5-3.

@@CoachChip Thank you! Email sent!
