If you've ever wondered what's going on with bunch formations on offense this is the video for you...
Hey everybody, welcome to elite athletes TV. I'm Mike Pawlawski. Today I want to talk to you about bunch formations. As a young quarterback, oftentimes, when your offensive coordinator, your head coach, whoever's in charge your offense starts putting in new formations, new looks that seem really exotic, it gets intense, it gets intimidating. It seems like there is a lot to figure out today I'm going to talk about bunch formations, why you use them, what they do for you as an offense, and how as a quarterback, you should think about them conceptually.

Now, let's talk about the bunch package. So why do teams use bunch package? Obviously, for years and years football had standard formations, wide receivers split out maybe you had a slot in the game, you're in 11 personnel maybe had two backs tied in Split no tight in the game, but use a slot instead. And say had only standard formations that were traditional in football. What they did in those formations is they try to attack the vertical passing game. And so in the vertical passing game, you're trying to take advantage of holes in zones. Same idea with man vertical passing game outside air Coryell, let's go down the field. Darrell Lamonica, a huge proponent of the vertical passing game, he's a good friend of mine. He loved throwing that ball down the field. That's why they called him the Mad Bomber. Along comes Bill Walsh. I'll talk more about the West Coast offense and the origins later, but he develops a West Coast offense. Now instead of this big vertical passing game, we're trying to break off small chunks within the passing game. A four yard reception is just as good as a four yard run. And so it makes defenses cover more space, then you start bringing in new pieces to that offense, the bunch package getting three receivers together in space. What is it? By putting three receivers stacked on top of each other in the bunch.
There are about a million different bunch plays that I could draw up for you. They also create a lot of leverage a lot of mismatches a lot of personnel issues in the run game. So I'm not going to draw up all those plays. I just want you to understand that when teams are going to bunch. They're trying to create space. They're trying to create leverage. They're trying to create confusion, and they're trying to create mismatches. You can do it the pass game or the run game. But that's what the bunch package is all about. It's a great tool to use in your offense if you're a young quarterback. Don't get confused. Don't be intimidated. A bunch package is awesome. And once you understand what you're trying to accomplish with each play, it gets pretty clean pretty quick.
