coachjd ... how was the galzier clinic ...

The OC from bowling green was pretty good. I have my notes at home, but there is some good thoughts of what they do in the gun. I will try and post them tonight.

I do not know when there clinic is. Sorry!

Bowling Green Run Game Notes from Minneapolis Glazier Clinic: Greg Strudawa Off Coord.

Offensive Line and Run Game musts:

Physical - Knee benders
Use Zone Scheme - Helmet on a Helmet
Get downfield - make a 2nd block
Targets - know aiming points and understand defenses gap responsibilty
Be alert on def. line adjustments
Get BIG movement on 1st level defenders
Get 2nd step down. (2nd step wins)


Base Run Play: 14/15 Read

Alignment: QB 5 yards RB 5 1/2 yards behind tackle

Zone blocking - QB responsible to read the bs DE.
Backside receivers always block for the QB.

6 in the box is always a run, 6 1/2 or 7 in box get out read play and pass the ball.

Must work combo blocks vs all shades each week in practice.

When defenses start to play a twist game on the backside with the DE and Will to confuse the QB on the read. They will make a sift call: BS T will step down into B gap like zone, and then will rock back and cut the DE who is in a chase to the RB and now the QB blocks the Will with carrying out the read fake.

He also talked a little about speed option and trap from the gun, but most of his run game period was on the read play.

Coach,

I apologize, I was at the Toledo Clinic last weekend. No wonder I didn't see him there:)

Thanks for the notes JD. Good stuff - I really like the sift call.

I hope to get my schedule straight so I can get to BG. Thanks for the info Ebbster.

Coach Galdrapann,

How do you make any kind of audible adjustment, or any kind of adjustment really, after the ball is snapped? I have always thought that we were pretty much locked into what we have to go with on that play, if the ball has already been put in play. I would think it would have to be a PSL call, and then it would just be a guess on the QB's part, wouldn't it?

JD,

Thanks for that breakdown of the sift call, figured it had to be something like that.
