4 GAPS    

No Book On It—people don't understand it Adaptable to any offense Adaptable to any personnel Not a precision offense—very forgiving Doesn't demand a lot from linemen for successful plays Opponents only have 1 week to prepare Is team oriented—even “stars” must fake and it builds character Has a progression Helps all parts of ing game—simplifies protections Deception is a lost art in football Create an image

HALLMARKS OF CHAMPIONSHIP OFFENSES       

Eliminate turnovers Eliminate sacks—protect QB Have ability to be balanced (Run, , Field) Stop the swarm Get ball into space Score points against any defensive scheme Cause defense to play vanilla

WILLIAMETTE U. OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY  Deception “Even a dead man can fake”  Difficult to key one player

   

Difficult to simulate in practice Logical progression—must stop sweep Simplicity within complexity—Few plays/lots of formations Fun

THE SWEEP  Key play-Hallmark of Fly Offense  Many ways to run from many formations  Red Light—Designed to cut it up. You run this when they give TE a 7 technique and wide 9 technique. This is Power in the Single Wing. st  Yellow Light (Read TE, 1 to teach?). If you see the butt, then cut up.....When in doubt, then take it out. Play breaks down when the TE does not give you a read. 5 Technique is really the only problem technique. Base way is for all OL to get to 2nd level. When you run it out of 2 backs, the HB is a deceptor. 1 back, then QB is deceptor.  Green Light—Designed to get outside. Sweep to the #'s. The only way we don't sweep to the #'s is because #2 (force player) boxes and makes us cut up inside. FORMATIONS (4 Edges)--Design 3 sweeps for each edge  TE (no flanker) Red, Yellow, Green  TE w/ flanker Red, Yellow, Green  No TE, just SE Red, Yellow, Green  2 WR's Red, Yellow, Green Pro's & Con's to each Unbalanced can create another edge TEACHING OFFENSIVE STRUCTURE (Don't talk about plays)  Backs = Paths  OL = Rules  Concepts = WR's SWEEPER TERMINOLOGY –aim 1 YD behind QB th  Approach--4 Gear  Mesh  Slide Step  Catch—outside hip of Back  Set up Block—have a plan
