Love checking through and catching things I missed here and there. Definitely like using motion to upset coverages and create hesitation. When they slow down you pick up yardage

I find it identifies presnap very well

Motion from places and positions that speed up a athlete's speed to get somewhere presnap along with reading defense is my personal understanding of best way to use it. There isn't many ways to use the rules of the sport to full advantage. However this is one. As any coach can do, I suggest from rules both teams have there are many ways not being used correctly to show coaching and teaching to the fullest. Having best athletes has been a good enough for way to long way of achievement. Holding ourselves accountable instead of saying how long we put time into preparation is a question we should ask each day. Hope this helps

I love this concept. My running game is influenced from Gus Malzahn and the speed sweep is a staple in his offense. What worked for me was the crack rule that Malzahn uses on all of his outside runs. Your Y would crack the first backer inside, the TB would block who’s on Y. And the F job is to split both blocks and get upfield or run off of the tb’s block. Even on his tosses, handoffs, etc. Same blocking technique. He will literally outflank a defense. Search “Gus Malzahn Bucksweep” video or watch film where Auburn led the nation in rushing in 2013.

Hey coach, Thanks for all of your content. Quick question how do you block your speed sweeps, had some trouble blocking the end with our tackle this year.

@CoachMcKie 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words coach. We've done it a couple of ways - outside zone to the play's side and inside zone AWAY from the play.

Coach McKie Your welcome and do you think Y stick concept would work well as a play action pass off the jet sweep motion? Or is there another concept you use for play action off that?

For us, if our tackle has a hard time reaching the outside 5 tech we will bring the slot receiver down to a shallow slot, not quite a wing but close, (we call it "tight") and have him step lateral down the line of scrimmage to block down on that end sealing him in the process, and then depending on defensive alignment the slot would either stay on the DE and the tackle would pull around like a pin and pull concept, or once the slot would block down on the DE knocking him off course the play side tackle would then be able to reach him, and the slot would climb next level.

I think it would if you are starting out 3 X 1. But a 2 x 2..I don't think so. I'd use Y-Cross off of Jet Motion.

Our motions have rules and tags, our plays dictate the player’s responsibilities post motion. Our motion tag is the second phrase of our play call. Our motions are slow, 1/2 speed and full speed. The off receivers must be ready to be given a signal or hear a change by the QB but....our mo-tags will tell any off receiver what they’re doing. If we are in even and say RIP...that sends the receiver off the line on the left side of our formation is running our ZIP motion(Jet for most)...if we call LAP that tells our off receiver on the left to run that same motion to the left of the formation. If we flip the receiver on one side and place the slot on the line of scrimmage and Split end is off, they’d run that motion if called from his side. Our H backs have their own set of motions and this is key to our offense because their motions are intentional for us in creating another gap, giving us a lead blocker for an ISO, kicking out a defender, trapping a d-lineman and running pass routes from out of the backfield. Again, our play call tells him what to do. We expect a lot from our H backs, I look for very smart, very tough and hard working guys. I’ve had 150 lb guys and 250 lb guys at that spot for decades, the brains and game smarts always benefitted us. Our H must know his motions and the slot motions. If we are in even, he is a slot too! We also have formations that can make out slot or SE into another wing opposite of our H.....if a receiver is attached to the OL in anyway, his motions are the same as the H’s now. Again, you need smart football guys to get this all running well but, solid practice time and PAPERWORK/HOMEWORK helps them to learn. Off season whiteboard, and paperwork where you draw all of your stuff up for quizzes help them and help you understand the kind of kids you are dealing with. We use a lot of motion and keep the movements going to see what defenses are doing, to our number them, to out leverage them and to create blocking angles. If we run zone right, we block it up in a traditional zone blocking method not too different to what most of you guys do...but...if we have the H back as a right wing, we can use him to block up overhang or motion him in a Z-motion(return) motion and kick out the end while the OL blocks zone left and we run the zone via a dive mesh....same formation, two plays....one simple motion changes it all up....we also Z-motion(return) our H to kick out the end and have out C/G/T triple the 3T vs a 4-3 and run zone right...if our H is lined up as a left wing, we will motion him right to kick the end and triple the 3T....again, that motion gives us angles and helps us to multiply our offense....when we have had balsa slots, I’ve used them in blocking schemes by giving their motion a tag.....so...our play call could be: Spread(even) luke(1/2 speed motion to the left) “OMAHA’ zone left....The “Omaha” tag tells the slot he is blocking overhang to the PLAYSIDE if it presents itself...if not, he’s blocking through the alley to the safety....motion is a great weapon and getting good, strong athletes moving can give them advantages, angles and great confidence in knowing they’re bushwhacking certain players or that we have a scheme they know hurts the other team considerably.....my H-backs LOVE trapping d-line guys and leads against LBs.....I hope I made some of this clear, I get excited talking ball and I like to share ideas that work so other teams and kids can get better......

My Super Simple Spread Offense.

I use motion for a number of different reasons. We run a lot of Jet motions and counters off of the Jet motion so the misdirection is one reason. Our Z back (Pretty much the same as Coach McKie's F Back) is our Primary motion guy. Since we use the Spread Offense to Spread people out to get the numbers in the box and run the ball, the biggest reason I use Motion is to switch the strength of the defense. We do use an H-back (TE who is off the Ball). Certain plays are better suited against certain defensive line techniques to create better angles for lineman. So we will line up in one formation and Motion the H across (same effect as a TE Trade). Most High School defenses will not adjust the defensive front to the motion. If they do try to do that I will hit them with them with QB counter. I also use motion to change the passing strength especially against man or quarters coverage. Also if you figure out that they are doubling your best playmaking receiver motion is a good way to free him up.

Coach, I'm sure you already have this in your playbook, but what works well for us when we motion across like you do with the "Fast Motion" we just call it something else, if that safety spins down we run either single back power trap to the weak side, or a simple screen to the weak side. It's the old saying of take what they give you. Do this a few times now most likely the defense will stay flat footed because those kids on D remember what has been happening on the weak side and now will react slower to your "Fast Motion" which will open up your swing pass again, and also all of your snag route concepts.

Also just to add onto what we do to keep it as simple as possible for the kids to understand because we are in only our 5th season in the history of the school I'm coaching at, and they've never had a football program before in the 85 years of the schools existence, and the kids we get have usually never played any type of football before other than at recess back in elementary school. But, we've never had a losing season, and last year was our first year of eligibility for state playoffs and made it. So with our offense the personnel groupings aren't the standard 12, or 22. We are a up tempo split back shotgun spread offense with no tight ends. All of the kids have wrist bands so all I have to do is call a number, the look at it and we go. Our personnel groupings are simple... X,Y, and Z are receivers, H & T are the backs, and of course the Q. The X receiver is always by himself unless we are in 22 formation. In our 12 formation, the 1 stands for X is by himself on the left, and 2 is the Y & Z are together on the right, and our backs are spit behind the Q, the T is to the multiple receiver side, the H is to the single receiver side. If we go 22, the only thing that changes is the H now splits out to the left with the X, and we will tag either R or L behind the formation to tell the T which side of the Q we want him on. Ex. 22R/22L. We also can go 13/31 (X,H,Y,Z/Z,Y,H,X) and of course tag the side we want the back to be on with R or L. Since you were on the topic of motions, all of our motions are to be made to look like jet "fast" motion to give the D the same uniform look whenever we go in motion, but if the motion guy gets past the Q he throttles down quickly to keep spacing with the other receivers. So for us we call our motions HAC and YAC (H across, and Y across), so if we wanted to go from our 22R formation to 13R, so on the players wristband the play call would be 22R HAC (formation) Even/Odd (which way the play is going) Tiger (Toss). We try to keep verbiage to a minimum so the previous entire play call would be 22R Hac Even Tiger. If we wanted to run power or counter it would be called 12/21, Even/Odd, Panther (power), Cougar (counter). Animals are run plays, City's are pass plays. We also have different variations of our formations to give the D a different look, but its the same exact play. We have roughly 50 total plays, but have just over 20 different formational looks, so technically the defense has to be ready for 1000+ different looking plays to scheme against. One week we will run plays out of a certain formation, next week after sharing film with our opponent we will run the same exact plays but out of a completely different formation, and their defensive scheme they've been preaching to the kids all week is out the window, because the kids on D haven't seen that formation so they are out of alignment and confused, and we are ready to go.
