Our staff is currently assessing our offensive performance from the past year, and one area we see we can improve on greatly is our backfield mechanics, ball handling and faking overall. Do any of you know of a coach or coaches who excel in this area? Who are the experts in this aspect of the offense that are accessible and willing to share their thoughts and practice ideas? Thanks in advance for your help!

For those guys out there who measure these things…What is an acceptable number for offensive play efficiency in your program? We measure efficiency as: 1st down—4 or more 2nd down—1/2 of remaining dist. 3rd down—1st down 4th down—1st down Do you all use the same criteria? What do you strive to achieve? What percentage of that play needs to be successful in order for it to be called "efficient"? Thanks in advance!

We just completed our season and were able to mix a healthy blend of UC and Gun into our offense. One of the challenges we had was making the rules for the OL consistent for both the UC and GUN. One play specifically that was an issue was the Buck Sweep. Without a filling FB, the C had to adjust his rules to cover the BS A-Gap, and it was pretty frustrating for him until we ironed it out with repetition. Do any of you out there have a system that keeps things consistent across the board for the OL rules if running Gun and UC? Thanks in advance!

We've played 3-4 teams the past couple of weeks, and they have been successful in defending our TE/W with a gap exchange with the DT/DE and PSILB. DT & DE crash to the B & C gaps, and the ILB scrapes over the top to the D gap. The safety to that side also comes down to fill the alley. We had limited success with sweep, but are looking for other ways to defeat this defensive adjustment. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Great videos coach. On Sally, are you telling the Pulling T to just find a hole and lead through? What are the rules or keys for the PS OL? Thanks!

Hey guys, We just wrapped up our season, and lost in the 2nd round of the playoffs. On the whole it was a good season, but toward the end, it looked like our gas tank was hitting E. We tried to keep Mondays all mental, and back down on practice time during the rest of the week, but we just seemed worn out. What have you all done, or what are you doing, to keep your players fresh into and through the second season? Any and all ideas are welcome! Good luck to you all as you wrap up your seasons and push through the playoffs!

Magic Boot? I have Wes' books, don't remember this one. Please explain!

Love the concepts...can you refresh my memory on what the "2 man" rule is exactly?

Denny, On this play, and the other plays in the series, is the QB turning his back to the "play side"? Is the DE the pitch key on Option, or is it the OLB/SS? Is the DE the kickout on Trap? Is the DE logged on Pass and Option? Thanks!

When you make the "Tackles" call, does the PSHB take his same path, or does he now insert into the C gap? Thanks!

If you get a shaded nose guard to the TE Side, does that change the rules? How do you account for the 1 technique or 2i that can exploit the gap left by the pulling guard? Thanks!

Keep it going coach....traffic slows down at this time of year as we get to the end of school and all of the business of wrapping up and starting again takes over.....Learned and continue to learn a TON from this site!

Yessir!

Denny, Do you follow the "smart splits" rule for all of your series, or just this particular one? Thanks!

How do you block the under front with this play? I'm assuming it's more of a 2nd back through front, but if you had to give it to the FB, who is blocking the PS ILB? Thanks!
