DEVASTATING Air Raid Run Game for Middle School

[@CoachMcKie]

Hey Coaches, What runs would you install if you were installing the Air Raid at the Middle School level?

[@chrisking292]

Coach McKie What would you do if you just have 4 hours of practice a week like a lot of European teams have? Same or different?

[@CoachMcKie]

+Chris King Coach, I would condense the playbook and rep the Heck out of mesh, verticals, curl, and shack

[@kevinqueen6246]

Great stuff. I didn't realize teams don't like to run the inside zone. I thought it was synonyms with the spread. I have a series designed with the pin block but it moves the Tb to the opposite side of the pin, and uses jet sweep motion with a WR, the Y moves to the TE position (two-point stance) this allows for counter runs, sweeps, screens, bootlegs.

The play that has been successful for us is the fb lead with trips right/left. The qb keeps the ball and the fb clears out the first threat. Receivers block. We usually have numbers.

Thanks Coach. Great channel. I coach the Middle School level in CA and would love to go Full Air Raid. Most of our competition starts in a 5 man front. I am sure they will go 4 man front once we start the Air Raid but I would love to see your run scheme against a 5 man front for these two run plays if possible. Thanks again!

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach. You should dive right into the Air Raid. Your kids will love it. And I'll do a video on blocking them up.

[@BellaGsdad]

@@CoachMcKie Same here. 2nd year coaching jh and every jh defense in Louisiana puts 8 in the box. I took 4 of your plays and averaged 42 pts per game with 8 min quarters. We had the first winning jh season ever.

Running inside zone using a playside gap-backside combo-linebacker rule for first time and has gone well so far. Also using a trap with backside guard pulling and kicking out DE. Both of these are always tagged with either bubbles or quick screens.

[@CoachMcKie]

+mjw09c Sounds great coach. Long trap can kill a defense.

[@marcosmartinez6286]

I also have used succesfully a pull play, backside OT pulls to front side DE, the rest of the OL drive blocks to his left and the QB is reading backside end as if were a zone.

[@CoachMcKie]

+marcos martinez Coach Martinez, Dart is a great play. Baylor made a living on it toward the end of Briles time.

[@michaelrivera9663]

Coach M, what videos of drills (if you have any) you have of teaching the blocking for the line? thanks

[@kevinqueen6246]

Coach how do you design new plays from year to year, do you breakdown NFL games or use film from other high schools, what's your sause?

[@rachelberglan]

@coach Mckie I was watching some of your game recaps on hudl and it seems like you went to a zone triple/air raid? Your earlier games of the year you were in your normal air raid offence. Or did you just leave your school.

[@keondremontgomery2518]

Hey Coach, I don't see the link to Coach Albaugh's inside zone KZbin series.

[@jackmccormick949]

Coach we run up against a lot of 5 front in our middle school league. What would you run against that?

[@CoachMcKie]

How do they defend your slots out of 2 x 2?

[@matthewgoss8847]

Coach McKie we get a 5-1 front like the Pats did to shut down the Rams.

I been running air raid with my team since 4th grade. The biggest challenge is you get cover 1 and cover 0 with a 7 and 8 man box. The first 2 year we lived in flat with fade out/slant flate and bubble. We will be a 8th grade team this year and took tell the 6th before i ever saw 2 high shell. I would suggest live flat and run wide with some kind of crack block on the DE. Great stuff coach i like the pin and pull. We have hard time blocking the 1 tech in a zone scheme. This year i want run wide zone and pin and pull. In middle school we get 1 offense practice for 2 hour not alot time.

Y is ineligible coach.
