Why No Huddle?(New Math)

It’s Not Called Slow Huddle!

• Old Math per Offensive Prep Period

– 40 minutes prep=40 Plays

– Per Week =160 plays

• No Huddle Math per Offensive Prep Period

– 40 minutes prep=120 plays

– Per Week=480 plays

• Increase of 320 plays per prep week

Why No Huddle?(Practice)

Perpetual Motion-Sharks Never Stop Moving Because if they do they Die!

• Centers Snapping-Film Example

• Offensive Line Karate Drills-Tunch Ilkin

• Wide Receivers-Box Drill-Film Example

What Have We Tried?(Wrist Coaches)

• Positive

– The players knew exactly what they were supposed to do on every single play based upon the wrist coach. In theory, this should cut down on the number of mistakes players make because each of the wrist coaches has been developed for a specific player on the field.

What Have We Tried?(Wrist Coaches)

• Positive

– Used the number range calling.

– The number 10-15 were all the same plays

What Have We Tried?(Wrist Coaches)

• Negative

– It was evident pretty early on that our players were becoming too reliant on the wrist coach for the information they needed and they stop committing things to memory. Additionally, the wrist coaches did not allow us to go as fast as we would have liked to throughout the game because the players would take too long to read their assignment prior to the snap of the ball.

What Have We Tried?(Wrist Coaches)

• Negative

– Preparation Time was intense!

– The Play sheets all had to be laminated.

– Wrist coaches needed to be washed and dried.

– Collection of the wrist coaches was an issue after every practice.

What Have We Tried?(Wrist Coaches)

• Outcome

– After the second game of the season we scrapped this system because it became too time consuming for the players. Additionally, on at least one occasion our player read the wrong thing on the wrist coach and made a mistake that ultimately cost us the game.

What Have We Tried?(Check with Me)

• We use this when we are in our motion sets.

• We will motion a wide out and give the quarterback the ability to pick the best possible play based upon the presented stimuli

• Check with Me-can be a run/run, pass/run, pass/pass option.

What Have We Tried?(Check with Me)

• Used throughout the week of practice

• Scout teams will give us two distinct looks based upon our pre-snap alignment

• Quarterback will need to make the correct adjustment during his pre-snap read

What Have We Tried?(Nascar/Indy)

• Positives

– It caused us to lose very little teaching time once a predetermined play was given a tag.

– Running the offense at the fastest tempo

– Great to run after a big play

What Have We Tried?(Nascar/Indy)

• Negatives

– At this point in time we have had very few mistakes when running this system. Therefore, for us there have not been any glaring negative outcomes associated with it.

What Have We Tried?(Nascar/Indy)

• Outcomes

– The system allows us to run one or multiple plays anywhere on the field of play.

– Additionally, it allows us to run the offense at a speed that is very difficult for the defense to simulate in practice.

What Have We Tried?(Warp Speed)

• What is it?-Film Example State Finals

– Warp Speed is the bigger, faster, stronger older brother of Nascar/Indy

– 3-5 pre-selected plays to be run consecutively.

– Fastest Pace

– Can be run multiple times throughout a contest anywhere on the field

What Have We Tried?(Scan)

• Scan plus one-Film Example

• Scan plus two-Film Example

• Scan Freeze-Film Example

How Do We Practice It?

• Beat the Clock-1st Offense vs 2nd Offense complete against each other in timed segment of 3 plays. Friendly wager made between both teams.

• Fast Break-Run plays as quickly as you can. Videotape the segment and make corrections in classroom.
