Very Interesting. We used tight bunch as ourbase formation this year with great success. Ran 3 passes, inside zone, Qb iso, Qb sweep and some motions. Nobody could stop it.

I love how it messes with the defense. Forcing them to check the coverage while accounting for all the gaps will either steal a bunch of practice time or have them be unprepared. A win for the offense either way.

I’m incorporating it heavily this year.. what passes did you use? I have a stick concept, a play action boot with a Y cross, and a return motion smash concept(post corner, whip, return motion behind the lob). And then a fade to backside wr, hitch to backside wr.

Love this breakdown, same philosophy I believe in and teach.

Thanks!

Coach, can you explain exactly what the term Alert means? is it the same as what some call a gift route? something that is read pre-snap?

[@WideZoneWarriors]

In most Pro Style offenses, not every eligible receiver is included in the base progression. For example, take the Stick concept. From what I understand about the Air Raid, generally it’s read with the Go being the first read then eyes on the OLB to dictate throwing the Stick or Flat. In a Pro Style offense, the Go would be an Alert, meaning that if it’s not alerted, the QB isn’t going to read it. You can alert routes for any number of reasons. Most often, it’s based on the coverage, but sometimes it can be based off of a personnel matchup too. For that Go example, maybe I like my WR on a Go against a specific CB and not against the other. If he’s lined up on the weaker CB, I can Alert my QB to that route. He doesn’t have to throw it (though some coaches would say throw it to him no matter what if they’re telling him to peek it), but I just want him to add it to his progression. So back to your example of a Gift route, it could be a version of an Alert. For me, I would tell my QB to throw it based on what I’m seeing or situationally. Lots of college offenses give QBs the freedom to make reads like that based on leverage, so that would be more of a Read than an Alert in that scenario.

@@WideZoneWarriors Great explanation coach! Thank you!

What are the Duo rules? Like how do I coach them?

[@WideZoneWarriors]

Duo RT would have the same assignments as Inside Zone LT, but instead of zone blocking and comboing, it’s down blocking and double teams/deuces. RB also reads it differently. On Duo, he reads the play-side linebacker. If LB fills, bounce it out, and if LB scrapes, cram it. I’ve done a video on Duo & Inside Zone that shows some clips, coaching points, and compares & contrasts the two. Check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2nXo3h7odGdhJIsi=avyiXrZYIGcQSTR5

🔥🔥🔥, I Love this Breakdown with the Film Cutups and The Chalkboard Diagrams are Absolutely Perfect for capturing the Concept visually!! Please do more. Also, do you have a video on Wide Bunch Passing Routes?

[@jamesroberts1810]

Rams bunch passing concepts are nasty...other teams are starting to use them..but mcvay is hyper creative
