    1. Stick 2. Counter 3. Power 4. Tunnel Screen 5. Four Verticals I agree with this list although my 5 would substitute Inside Zone for Counter simply because there's so much you can do with IZ in your offense.

    • @CoachRossFootball
      @CoachRossFootball 3 дня назад

      Yeah I’m with you too I really like IZ and it’s a staple in my offense. However the gap schemes are a little easier to teach early on which is why I would start out with power, and counter. I wouldn’t want to mix a zone scheme with a gap scheme right from the jump. IZ wouldn’t be far behind though. Totally agree with its versatility.

      Absolutely. I’ve coached with a coach primarily a wing-t guy and we used air raid principles in the passing game aside from the usual wing T pass plays like waggle or divide. The trick is finding a few you’re good at and teach the grass principles and reading space. Key is practice.

    Hey Coach, been loving this series really appreciate you taking the time to put all of this together. I coach highschool in Canada, so we play CFL rules with 12 players on each side (and a wider and longer field). Do you think that the Air Raid would work in that setting? The main difference is there would usually be an extra DB to cover in that overhang position and the OLB would have the RB out of the backfield. I'm thinking our base would be Ace but with 2 split rbs. I really hope you get this message and can provide some advice! Thanks again, really appreciate everything

    • @CoachRossFootball
      @CoachRossFootball Месяц назад

      I’m glad you enjoyed the series. And I hope it’s been helping. I think the air raid could work in your situation. The air raid relies on space. What better to help then with a wider field for a defense to defend. You can do a lot with that extra player. What I might do is use a player deep in your concept to occupy the safety to that side of the field and from there you take one defender out and you’ll have your typical triangle read.

    • @gregk7916
      @gregk7916 Месяц назад

      My rule for every quick game out of 2x2 is RB is always part of the concept. Therefore he’s running the shoot/swing. Middle receiver in stick for example is the stick route and outside has the vertical. 3x1 Rb is never part of the concept unless we tag something.

      The base schedule would look the same as far as the flow. I would cut out a couple of the situation periods like first and third down, and replace them with straight team reps on air or with the kids you have a makeshift front seven for one series and then a back 7 for another series. The focus on Indy or group would be a lot of fundamentals and less scheme. I would drop the mesh and rpo periods and extend screen and ROA periods.

  • @downinthebend2670
    @downinthebend2670 6 месяцев назад

    Hello Coach, how does front recognition by either the QB or C factor into o line pass blocking? What kind of concepts are better for BOB vs half slide? What are the factors in choosing to BOB vs half slide? Do you let your QB or C call the pass protection? What is the "normal" O line depth and splits (not the leachian splits, but the way it is shown in your diagrams?) Go army edge puts everyone initially at the line, but why is it most common to have a little depth and width?

    • @CoachRossFootball
      @CoachRossFootball 6 месяцев назад

      With BOB pass pro particularly your 3 interior (2G’s and C) linemen are responsible for nearest defender to their inside gap. Tackles protect B-C gaps. QB is responsible for Mike. RB typically if he’s in pass pro would pickup most dangerous off weakside edge. This is how I teach it. I feel that BOB is best overall be a in our offense we want the ball gone as fast as possible, combine that with our line splits and depth it gives us more time. I would say half slides are best for those traditional drop back passes where the full field is in play, and the slide shores up backside protection. Typically don’t let QB or C change or mess with protection, the basic rules typically are good enough to provide protection. We do have them communicating though with what they see, strengths and pressures etc. There is no one size fits all rule with regards to splits and depth. I like the 3 foot splits and having the next most outside linemen line his toe with the nearest interior linemen’s heel. The idea with wide splits and trying to stretch depth as far as possible is that more space creates more time. Just because you linemen have backed up a bit doesn’t mean the d line can move up, they can’t cross the LOS. So you’ve created just a little more distance and coupled with your linemen getting into vertical drops that’s just that much further a d linemen has to go before he engages and truly gets into his pass rush. Then by using wide splits you essentially have the d line widen out which puts every d linemen further from the QB creating more space. D line has to respect their gaps otherwise you simply pinch them inside all game and run outside until they adjust.
