• Run + Screen together (Bubble / Fast Screen).• Gameplanning a Run & Play-Action to give us

answers.• Quick Game on One Side and Double Move on

the other.• Gameplanning a Run & a Secondary Run to

give us answers.• Gameplanning a Formation to give us answers.

Run with a Screen

• Great way to control inverts and extra players in the box.

• WR must understand 4 yard rule.• WR’s must get hooked up on the perimeter.• QB must make good decisions. – If in doubt, hand it off.

Run with a Run

• By Gameplan we will package two base runs together and call vs. the front that we like each against.

• How? Freeze and Check with me.• From time to time we will also package a

secondary run to take advantage of a defense overloading a formation to stop a base run.

Formation Package

• In the off season always try to work through available answers per formation.– Example take one formation and start game

planning a defense.– Try to come up with answers to the common

adjustments a team will make.– Will attempt to do this for all base formations.

Game Planning

• Weekends are spent watching Formations Cut-ups and filling out formations workbook.

• Use it all week and keep for offseason.• Jot down all ideas.• Great learning tool in off-season.
