Common Spread Philosophy

y Spread field through Formation and motiony Open up running lanes

y Create personnel mismatches

y Take What you Give us philosophy

y Run the ball vs. appropriate numbers in the box (audible to 5 in the

box)y Pass the ball vs. appropriate numbers in the box (audible to 6 or 7 in

the box)

y Throw vs. Uncovered receivers

y Create the big play vs. the blitz

y Use of compressed formations to create confusion or gain anadvantage in numbers


4/89

how to take away certain strategies:

y Take away bubble screen by alignment (drawon board)

y Take away funnel screen by sticking like glueto #1

5/89


Strategies for Defending the Spready Analyze and understand protection scheme of your

opponent:

Have a pressure packaged based on theirprotection weaknesses (stunts, bluffs, overloads,personnel mismatches)

y Anticipate the offensive coordinators adjustmentsto your strategy and have at least one countermovefor each strategy he employs. two


6/89


Take away an opponents best receiver by

alignment, coverage, or both. Jam on line with

safety help to test him. Align deep if hes a deepthreat. Bracket him if you can afford it.

y Know the offensive coordinators philosophy and

take advantage of it

y Take away what they do best. Make them beat you

with someone or something other than their best

play.



7/89


Strategies for Defending the Spread Be prepared for the no huddle

y Practice preparation i.Use two huddles/units in pass skeleton back to back to

back w/#1 QB to keep continuity

ii. Increase pace of drills and increase conditioning

y Game preparation-getting the call on the field i.Hand Signal call to entire defense (everyone must

know signals) ii. Signal to one defender, he relays the call to defense

iii .Use wristbands and coded calls


8/89


Strategies for Defending the SpreadHave multiple adjustments for motion/formationchecks

y

Teaching progression early in spring/summery Jam receivers at different levels to disrupt timing

y In man i. On line

ii. Catch and trail

y In zone i. On the line in 2 jam or 3 jam

ii. At 3 or 5 yards


9/89


Strategies for Defending the Spready Disrupt the rhythm of the offense-force post-snap

reads. Disguise coverage (show examples)

y

Huddle cally bluff (make sure they are not the same)

y universal

y wait on OC

yMix up your looks. Blend pressure and coverage.Utilize straight man, combination (man zone),zone blitzes, and fire zones. (Show gameready sheet)


10/89



Offensey Play fastest players on defense

If the team you are playing uses personnel packages togain advantages, use the same 11 players without

substitutingy Stop the running game first with the least amount of

defenders in the box as possible. If you can stop the runwith 5 you have an advantage

y Force the offense to be one-dimensional by doing one of

the following:y Take away the pass. If you can consistently rush 3 and

drop 8 defenders into pass coverage you are at anadvantage

y Take away the run by loading the line of scrimmage with

eight or nine defenders


11/89


Formulating a strategy:

Take away what they do best; make them beat youwith something else

Have multiple adjustments to formations if needed

Have formations & coverage checks to prevent theoffense from gaining an advantage

Be prepared for no huddle

Be prepared for personnel groupings

Know their pass protection and how to attack it Have a strategy to defend bunches and stacks

Principles for Applying Pressure

Use more than one disguise per blitz

Know the protection scheme you are attacking

Know the opponents hot reads and sight adjustments

(may be able to force a certain throw favorable to you)

Ensure your defense is gap sound

Assign proper run force

In man schemes, every potential receiver is accounted for

Dont allow offense to create a mismatch

Create mismatches that favor the defense-attack weakness

Disguise your intentions if at all possible


27/89

Coach John Rice

Principles for MaximizingPrinciples for Maximizing

Effectiveness ofPressure SchemeEffectiveness ofPressure Scheme Pressure Calls MUST be scripted.

Blitz Period /7 on 7/Team

Practice the four looks (show, half, time, depth) Show unusual formations/motion

Force checks to prevent unfavorable situations

Emphasize blitzing defenders redirect to the ball ifplay is a run

F Deep Middle

Hole

Dime ($) in for Lion; will align according to blitz called. Man up with #3 in empty

We are playing man coverage with Spur and Bandit on #2s (over vs. trips)

We will always send at least 1 linebacker; the other will be a hole defender.

If we send both inside backers, Dime will be hole defender unless covering #3 in empty.

Free Safety is playing deep middle. We can also use him to bracket a receiver & play 0.

Hole defender will abandon responsibility if R releases. In that case, man up on R.
