Is Mike Leach's Air Raid Mesh Concept The BEST WAY to Run Mesh?

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks so much for watching Coaches!! Quick question, as you coaches know every video I create is for YOU so please comment on this thread and let me know what you would like to see a video about. And also, don’t forget to pick up your FREE Offensive drills if you haven’t yet: bit.ly/FREEdrills

[@paulcusick9808]

Love the Leach Mesh concepts. Very simple. Out of 3x1, we tag "wheel" for the RB to run the "wheel" route away from Trips.

[@CoachMcKie]

That's why Leach is the freaking man!

[@robertmosher7418]

It drove me crazy when I coached in college with the line having so many pass blocking schemes when I came from five man area, half zone half man with first uncovered man starting the slide, a six man slide pro with the back inserting backside of slide and then Sprint out. That is all I think you need. What is the QB read on the 3*1?

[@kendrickthomas9971]

Coach what program do you find is the most user friendly to create your playbook or simply draw plays like you use on your videos?

[@billkowal4432]

I freaking love Coach Leach but not crazy about this version of mesh out of Ace for high school. I don’t like the 10 yard out as the #1 read. That’s a tough throw for most HS QBs in my opinion. I’ve also had issues with the LB covering the RB getting in that lane for the out. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.

[@CoachMcKie]

I'm a fan of Coach Humme's version of mesh. I love how it is the same progression regardless of the formation.

[@anthonyjohns4057]

I listened to Lincoln Riley speak about this. He runs them at 6 yards & will have his guys round if they are speedsters. If the QB struggles with arm strength then he will motion him tighter.

Hey Coach, I love your videos, converted 3 years ago from Veer to the Spread and your videos have helped a Ton, next year I am going to bring in some Air Raid, Quick question have you ever experimented with running Smoke Right ( Roll out Right) with Ace Mesh? It seems to me that F could get lost in the shuffle and find some grass in Man to Man

[@bryanshaw6160]

Coach. Great stuff. Can you talk about splits for the mesh.

[@CoachMcKie]

Sure thing coach

[@sethbjornrud]

I’ve always wondered, but never found the answer, what is the advantage of having Y on the ball?

[@smalltalk2k]

what does Early and Late mean?

[@CoachMcKie]

3x1 left or right

[@Classic_secondline]

Lol i use this stuff for madden great way to break down mesh thanks coach..i love air raid and they dont have playbooks for that so i use the hot routes once i watch your breakdowns..keeps the game fun and fresh once again thanks

[@CoachMcKie]

I would do the same thing when I played madden.

[@andm9766]

Nacho Louis yeah I run a straight air raid lol. I just wish they sat in those zones like old NCAA would

[@CoachMcKie]

I wish they brought back NCAA

[@coachjerk77]

The pass pro isnt hard to figure out if you can add and subtract. Do you package plays in say group of 3 and let qb choose based on teaching?

[@j.c.davault8170]

So the drill website is not working for air raid drills what is the link

[@jimteahan6446]

I don't think so-reads aren't correct. At 8:15 vs 2 deep you would never turn it upfield. The FS is waiting for you. If FB sees a blitzing LB after meshing he would either settle or continue running route. CB on play side is out chasing WR if he's running an out. Natural window. I'm also not sure you're correct on TB being the #3 read on some of these. WR's running out patterns on this seems a little strange. I'm pretty sure I've seen at least play side WR running Post to pull FS out of play, and then hit FB in window before he runs into the play side CB.

[@CoachMcKie]

I do know this is the base way they run it. At least that’s what a coach with pretty good inside intel has told me. I also know Coach Leach uses a good amount of tags on Mesh. But that’s for leaving a comment coach. Love talking ball.

[@carsoncasarahi2833]

what software do you use to create a playbook?

[@rhw1999]

How your season been going coach; just curious

[@robertmosher7418]

So, QB reads softest coverage on the out routes to near mesh to presnap #1, to far mesh to check down to back?

[@robertmosher7418]

If in this case the out to the R is softest, it's a two progression read R to T?

[@robertmosher7418]

It makes sense because if you throw the wide route to the back, he is open. The only player who can cover the wide route is the corner. He is also the only one who can cover the out.

[@CoachMcKie]

Yes sir. That's the progression

[@coachray6019]

What's the progression vs cover 2?

[@CoachMcKie]

It’s still the same. The speed outs turn into corner routes

[@kylemadden9357]

Does the back always go to the Y side?

[@CoachMcKie]

Not all the time.

[@D.B.O]

Hey coach, the link to the air raid drills are not working.

[@CoachMcKie]

Sorry about that coach. Airraiddrills.com

[@big4740]

I'm a noob to all of this, so my question is going to seem very pedestrian. but what is a 2 by 2? Or a 3 by 1.

[@danshane7035]

2x2 is 2 wide recievers on each side. So twins on left and right. 3x1 is trips on one side and a lone wide reciever on the other side.

[@big4740]

@@danshane7035 ppreciate that response! After thinking about it a lil more, it seemed obvious that what it meant.

[@kylemadden9357]

How does the RB know whether he is going RT or LT?

[@CoachMcKie]

The back knows based on what the play is.

[@nicolasbernardini3413]

We never had tags for where to line up. Mostly when we would pass protect it doesn't really matter. It only matters when you have a route, but if that's the case its implied where you line up based on the play

[@lucash5802]

Why does the outside wrs ran a Speed out and not a normal Out?

[@CoachMcKie]

Because it's the first read and it helps the QB get the ball out faster.

[@kristophesimms199]

how can it fit in the modern NFL?

[@keithgallman]

What if they both press

[@user-bb7vj7di8r]

Like this.
