Thanks so much for watching Coaches!! Quick question, as you coaches know every video I create is for YOU so please comment on this thread and let me know what you would like to see a video about. And also, don’t forget to pick up your FREE Offensive drills if you haven’t yet: bit.ly/FREEdrills

I find it identifies presnap very well

Motion from places and positions that speed up a athlete's speed to get somewhere presnap along with reading defense is my personal understanding of best way to use it. There isn't many ways to use the rules of the sport to full advantage. However this is one. As any coach can do, I suggest from rules both teams have there are many ways not being used correctly to show coaching and teaching to the fullest. Having best athletes has been a good enough for way to long way of achievement. Holding ourselves accountable instead of saying how long we put time into preparation is a question we should ask each day. Hope this helps

Love checking through and catching things I missed here and there. Definitely like using motion to upset coverages and create hesitation. When they slow down you pick up yardage

0:59 what website is that?

Thank you for answering the request coach! You’re the man.

Hi Coach, I am really very grateful with your videos, they are very useful and teaching. My boys are learning as much as I am.

I love this concept. My running game is influenced from Gus Malzahn and the speed sweep is a staple in his offense. What worked for me was the crack rule that Malzahn uses on all of his outside runs. Your Y would crack the first backer inside, the TB would block who’s on Y. And the F job is to split both blocks and get upfield or run off of the tb’s block. Even on his tosses, handoffs, etc. Same blocking technique. He will literally outflank a defense. Search “Gus Malzahn Bucksweep” video or watch film where Auburn led the nation in rushing in 2013.

Hey Coach, I’m the Defensive Coordinator for the Oxford University Lancers in the UK. We have a couple of coaching clinics throughout the year however the biggest is the BAFCA (British American Football Coaches Association) Convention which this year is from July 12th - 14th. If you’re ever in the UK or planning to, hit me up and I’ll show you around

Hey coach, Thanks for all of your content. Quick question how do you block your speed sweeps, had some trouble blocking the end with our tackle this year.

Yes great audio now!!!!!!

Our motions have rules and tags, our plays dictate the player’s responsibilities post motion. Our motion tag is the second phrase of our play call. Our motions are slow, 1/2 speed and full speed. The off receivers must be ready to be given a signal or hear a change by the QB but....our mo-tags will tell any off receiver what they’re doing. If we are in even and say RIP...that sends the receiver off the line on the left side of our formation is running our ZIP motion(Jet for most)...if we call LAP that tells our off receiver on the left to run that same motion to the left of the formation. If we flip the receiver on one side and place the slot on the line of scrimmage and Split end is off, they’d run that motion if called from his side. Our H backs have their own set of motions and this is key to our offense because their motions are intentional for us in creating another gap, giving us a lead blocker for an ISO, kicking out a defender, trapping a d-lineman and running pass routes from out of the backfield. Again, our play call tells him what to do. We expect a lot from our H backs, I look for very smart, very tough and hard working guys. I’ve had 150 lb guys and 250 lb guys at that spot for decades, the brains and game smarts always benefitted us. Our H must know his motions and the slot motions. If we are in even, he is a slot too! We also have formations that can make out slot or SE into another wing opposite of our H.....if a receiver is attached to the OL in anyway, his motions are the same as the H’s now. Again, you need smart football guys to get this all running well but, solid practice time and PAPERWORK/HOMEWORK helps them to learn. Off season whiteboard, and paperwork where you draw all of your stuff up for quizzes help them and help you understand the kind of kids you are dealing with. We use a lot of motion and keep the movements going to see what defenses are doing, to our number them, to out leverage them and to create blocking angles. If we run zone right, we block it up in a traditional zone blocking method not too different to what most of you guys do...but...if we have the H back as a right wing, we can use him to block up overhang or motion him in a Z-motion(return) motion and kick out the end while the OL blocks zone left and we run the zone via a dive mesh....same formation, two plays....one simple motion changes it all up....we also Z-motion(return) our H to kick out the end and have out C/G/T triple the 3T vs a 4-3 and run zone right...if our H is lined up as a left wing, we will motion him right to kick the end and triple the 3T....again, that motion gives us angles and helps us to multiply our offense....when we have had balsa slots, I’ve used them in blocking schemes by giving their motion a tag.....so...our play call could be: Spread(even) luke(1/2 speed motion to the left) “OMAHA’ zone left....The “Omaha” tag tells the slot he is blocking overhang to the PLAYSIDE if it presents itself...if not, he’s blocking through the alley to the safety....motion is a great weapon and getting good, strong athletes moving can give them advantages, angles and great confidence in knowing they’re bushwhacking certain players or that we have a scheme they know hurts the other team considerably.....my H-backs LOVE trapping d-line guys and leads against LBs.....I hope I made some of this clear, I get excited talking ball and I like to share ideas that work so other teams and kids can get better......

Thank you for this! What website/app do you use to design plays?

What blocking schemes do you have the linemen for this offense?

Coach, I'm sure you already have this in your playbook, but what works well for us when we motion across like you do with the "Fast Motion" we just call it something else, if that safety spins down we run either single back power trap to the weak side, or a simple screen to the weak side. It's the old saying of take what they give you. Do this a few times now most likely the defense will stay flat footed because those kids on D remember what has been happening on the weak side and now will react slower to your "Fast Motion" which will open up your swing pass again, and also all of your snag route concepts.

Coach Can you add a 3 favorite plays out of trips video

I use motion for a number of different reasons. We run a lot of Jet motions and counters off of the Jet motion so the misdirection is one reason. Our Z back (Pretty much the same as Coach McKie's F Back) is our Primary motion guy. Since we use the Spread Offense to Spread people out to get the numbers in the box and run the ball, the biggest reason I use Motion is to switch the strength of the defense. We do use an H-back (TE who is off the Ball). Certain plays are better suited against certain defensive line techniques to create better angles for lineman. So we will line up in one formation and Motion the H across (same effect as a TE Trade). Most High School defenses will not adjust the defensive front to the motion. If they do try to do that I will hit them with them with QB counter. I also use motion to change the passing strength especially against man or quarters coverage. Also if you figure out that they are doubling your best playmaking receiver motion is a good way to free him up.

If you come to the UK would love to have a clinic

Coach why not so many people use 2 back 3 wr? Gun split back? Don't see it much. Wondering?

It’s back coach. NCAA announced today

Which one of your resources has the if-then process?

Hey what program do you use to create your plays Coach?

Hey coach I was wondering if can contact you in email I’m really interested in this offense. Also want to get your book.

Digging that beard though.

You should come to Mexico instead
