[@Starwalka]

Simple and efficient one of my favorite concepts it’s 2023 different era but ima firm believer

[@robertmosher7418]

Pretty good. Its a great system concept you can wrinkle the heck out of

[@juanmelendezmartinez5920]

this so awesome finally a genius teaching simple american football!!!

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks for the kind words coach. And thanks for watching.

[@randysurrett4141]

Very good Coach, your presentations are all very helpful.

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks for the kind words coach.

[@johnheath5160]

Great stuff as always!

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach

[@jschuette898]

Really appreciate the way you break things down!

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach. And I really appreciate you watching.

On the stick and up, we tell our reveivers to replace the boundary safety. If he is playing off the hash, and he should be in some sort of cloud coverage because there are three receivers in the boundary and he should carry one deep. So, when number 2 hitches, then bursts up the field, he should attack the space vacated by the safety carrying 1 vert. If he drives on the stick concept, same thing, if he in a shark technique then we tell him to cross the safety's face.

[@CoachMac]

Good stuff buddy

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach. Just trying to get on your level.

[@CoachMac]

Don't go backwards, that's my level.

[@pabryang]

Great video and explanation for beginners... I plan to emulate some of your teachings this year. Could you repeat some of your videos like shallow cross etc.. with an explanative like this video.

[@carlb3450]

This guy is good.

[@gradybreen2734]

Coach, love your stuff. What do you use to diagram plays?

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach. I use Hudl playbook

[@solascriptura2940]

Coach, I love your videos. So informative. We now know what to read in Stick concepts. However, My son's team is using the flood and smash concepts. What would the QB read in those concepts? Can you help me out?

[@CoachMcKie]

Tha ms for the kind words man. You can read those concepts from high to low or low to high.

[@the_dime_king]

Thank you so much for replying, Coach Mike. I’ll work with my son on those concepts today. I appreciate your content.

[@robertmosher7418]

Need quick game to negate a dominate pass rush. Rules for negating a good pass rush... 1. Run the ball 2. Move the pocket 3. Throw quick game 4. Screen plays to try and wear them down. If they are a good pass rush team, the question is are the disciplined? Because a good front four will read the screen. If they play the pass rush well, they will normally be able to dominate in the run game. Roll out to move the pocket is great to help your QB. However, they know from the snap it's a pass play. Quick game allows for play action to freeze the defense, then it's a matter of catch right left and throw the ball on a high low concept or inside out on the flat defender...etc, etc...

[@dynodonfb7]

Good stuff!

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach.

[@jimmycoachjack]

Great info for concept. In your 3x1 does F still have slant if a backer is up/man? Also in 3x1 your example canceled shoot route for protection, was this intentional for this formation or just a visual option?

[@Chavzilla]

Similar concept to the Run N Shoot "Go" play? Front side at least.

[@CoachMcKie]

Still from the best.

[@philgreenday]

What if it's cover 2 , backer stays with the sticks, corner jumps the shoot route and I guess by the time the qb gets to the fade route safety is on it?

[@CoachMcKie]

You could do a couple of things. You could tell the quarterback to throw the vert if you know the defense is going to be in cover 2. You could post the vertical if you know they are going cover 2. You could hit the slant or hitch to the backside slot if they are keeping the LB on the box. Or you could tag the stick to the pin and pull and run the ball.

[@tomwolfe6063]

They have to do something about these rpo’s and non eligible players going downfield. The sticky gloves and targeting rules have made defensive football difficult enough.

[@realfrac7ure]

Me at outside linebacker. I gotta read quick game and short game. We got pass drops and everything. On offence I play Running back and we got 3 plays with Quick game so I gotta just block off edge. I like short game better cuz I can act like I have it and be a lead block for a Reciever

[@thomasgilliam3513]

What website were you using to design the football plays?

[@IPlayBass1991]

Hey Coach, how is this Website/Web-App called, that you use to design the Plays? Great work man! Keep it up.

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks for the kind words coach. I'm using Hudl playbook

[@silasdigeser6231]

Hi Coach, First of all I always enjoy watching your videos. I'm a 15 year old kid from germany and I love football. My dream is to come to the US and become a football coach. Do you think this is possible?? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[@CoachMcKie]

Coach, Of course that is possible. Dream big buddy. Do you play football now?

[@silasdigeser6231]

Coach McKie Yes I started play football about a half year ago

[@graydonlahmers5033]

Coach excellent video. I do have a question on backside pattern, understand the rule for backside is hitch at 3 yds. of DBs are playing 6/7+ yard off and slant if they are in press mode. If the outside DB is in press mode but the inside DB is playing off (6/7+yd) that seems to have the WR #1 run a slant and the WR#2 still doing a hitch. While not critical to the field side, it would appear that to the boundary side you will now have both WRs close to each other and I was always taught that was NO-NO. What do you tell you back side receivers to keep them from both being in the same area of grass when the outside BD press but inside DB is off? Thanks

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks for the comment coach. Im a little confused. Are you talking about 2x2 formation?

[@graydonlahmers5033]

Coach McKie, yes from a 2x2 and asking about the backside receivers that are to the boundary since the amount of space is cut down. If the wide DB gives the WR#1 press look and the DB over WR#2 is off look (6/7+ yds,).

[@keganfassler2387]

Coach, are your WR splits you have here on Hudl the same ones you practice? I assume getting the widest splits possible forces the OLB to make a decision, as well as keeps the stick route away from hook to curl zone.

[@CoachMcKie]

It depends on the strength of the QB's arm. If he has a cannon then we will widen out. If he doesn't then we will come in some.

[@saber005]

Great video (as usual). Would you consider evolving these strategies into non-spread concepts (i.e. 2-back, unbalanced, shifts/motions, etc)

[@CoachMcKie]

Coach Abercrombie, Heck yeah coach. Keep it simple regardless of the offense. Makes it easy for your kids and that allows you to play fast and score points.

[@ivinder2]

What app/site you use for playbook?

[@billycougar3378]

Hey Coach, I noticed (9:18) you have 2 Sticks in Trips Rt Y Stick. How do you communicate A running a(nother) Stick rather than his normal Shoot Route? Thanks!

[@oscarrobles9618]

hey coach ran this at texas tech with mike leach. Your'e suppose to read flat defender front side not guy over 2

[@CoachMcKie]

Okay. Thanks.

[@metlhead86]

nice idea

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks Coach.

[@paullabate2056]

Could we do this out of 2 back with a slot?

[@CoachMcKie]

Don’t see why not coach.

[@Newsom32]

How do you switch the routes on playbook so fast with out re drawling them

[@jonanna980]

Hey coach, I've had a difficult time teaching the stick route so that the kids can understand it. Any tips?

[@CoachMcKie]

Coach Anna, How are you teaching them the concept? What I do is put a cone out in front of them at about 4 yards and have the receivers run to that cone and turn around. I've got a drill that I talk about on my upcoming Simplifying the Air Raid Quick Game video.

[@jonanna980]

Coach McKie we try to have our receivers read the LB inside of them to determine whether to settle in the space or to find green grass to the outside. The reads in our drills make it easy for them to determine. But the reads during the game aren't so black and white. I need to find a different way of teaching it

[@lindadarling5008]

We tell our guys to try to place their nose on the outside shoulder of the LB and then turn inside

[@konstispork4311]

Nice shit🔥🔥

[@CoachMcKie]

Thanks coach.

[@andrei1971]

What age group would you limit this to? Is it likely to succeed with a team of undersized middle school kids (ages 10-13) who will probably have an offensive line that struggles?

[@CoachMcKie]

You could totally do this for middle school kids. I've had several clients I've worked with run this at the middle school level.

[@andrei1971]

@@CoachMcKie Thanks for your reply! Also thank you for the excellent and informative videos!

[@CoachMcKie]

No problem coach. Thanks for watching

[@ajenepalmer01]

in the 3x1 set for stick concept, would you ever switch the R and Y responsibilities?

[@CoachMcKie]

You could coach. That would be nasty if you do.

[@paullabate2056]

What is qb drop? 1 big step or 3? Thanks

[@CoachMcKie]

We are a rocker step and throw

[@nd-mr7om]

Do u have anything on scat concepts? What you have drawn up here is called scat in ncaa 14, I've heard other ppl refer to scat in 3 by 1 sets short to mid range routes where one of either the farthest outside or 2nd furthest takes a deeper corner or post, the game also has those but calls them switch.

[@CoachMcKie]

Scat is Y-Corner. Or are you talking about the Spot (Curl/Flat/Snag) concept?

[@nd-mr7om]

@@CoachMcKie no back is running a swing from the backfield, slot is a 3 or 4 yard hitch, and outside receiver is running a fly route

[@nd-mr7om]

@@CoachMcKie so ya it's another version of spot but the snag is coming from the inside receiver, (idk if that matter in terms of what the play is called) but the concept is similar.

[@paullabate2056]

What are some other quick game concepts you like coach? If you ran say 2? Lol thx

[@CoachMcKie]

Stick and corner.

[@sunsetblvdstreet7702]

What if the mike picks up the back out?

[@CoachMcKie]

then they made a play. that happens from time to time. so you need to know what to call to stop that.

[@Anadssor]

Thanks! No
