"Right" = where TE is "Slot" puts Z next to X "Right" is motion to right side. "Spider" = RB to flat route "S" strongside. Now the "2, Y banana, Z over" is weak to strongside.. X runs a 2 (quick slant) Y runs a "banana" (basically a 7 route) Z runs an "over" (6 route, crossing 1st) * You are very welcome, as I have run West Coast via Paul Brown to Sid Gilman for + 30 years. 😉 I won an original Sid Gilman playbook from his estate auction 15 years ago where many of the pages of my playbook are several generations of xerox older than in this playbook. I could shorten this play call to: "Right Slot Right Spider, 2, Banana, Over"

Did you coach it all with the disciplined footwork for both QB and WR? It’s more than one play boss.

@DadMoves 6 ай бұрын

@rukiddingmewiththis of course! Pass protection dictates length of pass drop, launch points, and route depth. "Firm" - 5 step drop, "Quick" - 3 step, "Rip" - pass pro slide right, "Queen" - slide weak, etc., etc., etc...

Don't forget the rule changes in 1979 that eliminated bump-and-run (and, indirectly, most OPI calls) and allowed offensive linemen to grab, release, and push with their hands. Walsh was the first NFL coach to take specific advantage of these rule changes, in the sense that he developed plays designed to exploit the advantages they gave the offense.

@TenScoop 7 ай бұрын

what were linemen supposed to do before the rule change?

@malbuff 7 ай бұрын

@@TenScoop They could push with their arms, but could not open their hands. If they did-- holding. The original concept of "blocking" was to use your body to keep the defender back. Using arms and hands was considered tackling. This gradually changed, but the 1979 change created the "moving pocket".

Don Shula was the reason for the expansion of the passing game he was a member of the NFL COMPETITION COMMITTEE and he was complaining about Mel Blount being too physical against opposing WRs not allowing anyone to run routes.

The thing that really makes the West Coast offense work is that the passing game essentially becomes an extension of the running game. The concepts and formations and protection schemes are all designed to use the defense's tendencies against them and break one player open, in the same way that most run schemes are designed to break a single gap open with everything else essentially being window dressing.

Some aspects of the West Coast Offense was taken from the school that produced Jerry Rice Mississippi Valley St.Rice said that anything he did in his early years in San Francisco he was already doing in college.

@DiscoHank 11 ай бұрын

Holmgrem said he was familiar with some concepts of it from the offense they ran at BYU as well. Walsh also got his terminology from Sid Gillman through Al Davis and his offense is a cousin to that of Al Davis and Air Coryell. But he became the ultimate practitioner of it.

Every great coach should adapt to a new coaching system to fit their players. What if you're the freshman coach developing players for varsity? Would you deviate from the varsity programs playbook so that your team can win games or is teaching them the Varsity system more important for the program?

@alcatraz9092 8 ай бұрын

that is a great question that can be tricky too. and maybe its something the varsity HC should answer because the logic is the same. once your freshman kids get to the varsity level shouldnt he be adapting to them in the best ways possible for the program. Which could ultimately start at the freshman level with you. good luck

@DadMoves 7 ай бұрын

Great question. I would say take the "meat and potatoes" of the varsity program, and sprinkle elements of your own offense. Eventually, if you do well, you'll no longer be a freshman OC. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t get scripting plays. Do they account for down & distance? Also, what if the opponent’s stud DB gets hurt, that’s not going to factor into play calling?

@LearnFootballWithvIQtory Жыл бұрын

Great question! A lot of it has to do with giving the QB looks during practice to make him feel comfortable and make the right adjustments during the game. Every play typically has a zone and man beater attached to it so coach knew he could run certain plays and it would have a good % of working. This was also at a time where defenses weren't that diverse. Nowadays coaches will script the first 5-10 just to see how teams adjust and lineup before they get off the script.

@user-li8lp2wy7z Жыл бұрын

Depends on how comprehensive the script is. The coach is looking to see 1) how the defense lines up for certain formations; 2) how the defense plays certain d&d and formations; 3) giving the defense planned looks/plays to set up playcalling trees that take advantage of how the defense played those prior scripted plays. The script isn’t fixed as in “these are the first x plays we are running.”

@CelticsTheGreen9 11 ай бұрын

It’s more about situational football and awareness

@DiscoHank 11 ай бұрын

They still have their audibles for specific looks as well, and you still have your down and distance section of the game plan. It’s funny because in Jon Grudens last stint with the Raiders I felt the only time the offense looked super sharp was on his opening drives when the script was in effect

@briansass9534 7 ай бұрын

Yes, organized by down, distance and field position. It’s not a “list” of 25 plays you call 1-25. It,s more of like 3-5 plays for 5 different down, distance, field position situations.

Is it true that the west coast offense would throw short as a first read then long as a last read? I heard John Madden and Pat Summerall mention it on a broadcast during a 49ers game.

@RubensBarrichello. 8 ай бұрын

Yes the idea of "West Coast" being that A the 49ers are a western team and the coast means the defense needs to play coast to coast (sidelines to sidelines). The offense stretches the defense horizontally versus vertically. Due to the short passes it earned itself the nickname "Nickel and Dime offense" Thus the nickel and dime defensive packages were created in response.

@kgatch113a 2 ай бұрын

No. Walsh loved the quick strike, so his first read would be for the deeper ball. People don't understand that Walsh went with a Sid Gillman, Raiders type offense with Greg Cook, used the shorter patterns with Virgil Carter and played possession ball with the passing game, and with Montana he did a combination of the two offenses. It was fully realized with Steve Young.

Walsh was a great coach but was more of an innovator than inventor. Belichick says Paul Brown laid the foundation for the WCO while in Cleveland, not Cincinnati. It is hard to believe that the most innovative coach (Brown), who was a control freak, would turn over the entire offense to a coach he didn't trust 100%. But like most changes in the NFL, rule modifications have to enable an idea that started at the college level (BYU and some other schools). The NFL doesn't invent anything now and hasn't changed that much since the OG inventors (Brown and Gillman). Spread is just a tweaked and dumbed down version of WCO.
