One back and other coaches??

They do not release ANY cutups, etc. I got some from the last season after Joe Gibbs retired (early 1990's), but they are stored in my attic (along with 99% of my files). There are 35 knee high boxes up there - & it is an attic you have to CRAWL into, because there are no steps. At age 67 (with two very arthritic knees) - I can't get to all that stuff anymore (even if I COULD - it would takes days to go through all that).

Best thing to do is TAPE the games. The replay of the plays that succeed is like having coaching cutups, because they show it from all angles.

If you have digital cable - Get "NLF NETWORK" (AKA "NFL ACCESS"). They replay games from last season almost every day. Only costs $5 more per month.

PS: NFL FILMS has videos on all the Super Bowls, & NFL TEAM "YEARBOOKS" which show a lot of good stuff, but not as good as the "coaches' cutups", of course.

PS: Here is an old article froim 1987 which I think is interesting:

GIBBS: `SKINS ONE-BACK OFFENSE IS REALLY TWO

Chalk-talk time, sports fans.
Inquiring minds want to know, when is a one-back offense really not a one-
back offense?
When is an offense predictable?

Joe Gibbs, coach of the Redskins, played answer man for these questions
yesterday.
Gibbs has heard so many questions about his one-back offense and had it
called predictable so many times, he went to the extraordinary step yesterday
to call a press conference to explain his reasoning behind the Redskins'
offense. Gibbs even used a chalkboard to draw diagrams.
"Most of the teams you see in the NFL are predictable," Gibbs said. "You
look at the teams that line up with two backs, like the (Los Angeles) Raiders
and the (New York) Giants. Ninety percent of the time, you know who's going to
get the ball. Marcus Allen (Raiders) and Joe Morris (Giants).
"What frosted me about the 1983 Super Bowl (actually in January of 1984
against the Raiders) was that they lined up in three formations and didn't
move once they got into one of them. Talk about predictable, that's 1912. And
they beat us, and nobody said a word to them."
All right, fine. What's that got to do with the one back offense?
Plenty.
As Gibbs explained it, the Redskins' one back is no different, really,
from other teams' two-backs. All the Redskins do is put their blocking back
closer to the line of scrimmage, put him in motion at times and give him a
better blocking angle on his opponent.
"He's (Don Warren in this case for the Redskins) doing the same thing as
the blocking back for the other team," Gibbs said. "What we need to do is
put a 20 number on him.
"We've got a saying in football, `That's a good way to get your neck
shortened.' That's what you do when you run a long way to make a block,
especially on someone like Lawrence Taylor (the Giants' premier linebacker and
author)."
A predictable offense, Gibbs said, is one that isn't producing. And the
Redskins, he said, are producing yards and points.
"People ask about putting George (Rogers) and Kelvin (Bryant, both running
backs) in at the same time. If one of them was a blocker, that would be
fine," Gibbs said. "But they're runners, and I think it would almost be a
sin to ask either one of them to be a blocking back.
"We're better off putting one over here."
And Gibbs drew an arrow on the chalkboard to a rectangle he'd drawn on the
side.
"On the bench," he said.


ANOTHER ARTICLE ABOUT JOE GIBBS FROM LAST SUMMER:

One big question will be whether the NFL passed him by while he was gone. But one needs only to look at the offense of the St. Louis Rams to know that it hasn't. The offensive system being run by Rams Coach Mike Martz is the same system that Gibbs used with the Redskins. It's the system that can be traced to the "Air Coryell'' offense of the San Diego Chargers of quarterback Dan Fouts, tight end Kellen Winslow and wide receivers John Jefferson and Charlie Joiner in the late 1970s and early '80s under former coach Don Coryell.

It's the system that the Dallas Cowboys used to win two of their three Super Bowl titles in the 1990s with Norv Turner as their offensive coordinator, and the system that the Rams used to win one Super Bowl and reach another with Martz overseeing their "Greatest Show on Turf'' offense first as the coordinator, then as the head coach. Each coach takes the system in a slightly different direction: Martz emphasizes spreading the field and throwing the ball all the time, while Gibbs used to rely on the power running game to set up some big plays with the pass. But the basics of the system are the same, and it still works.

PS: JUST SOME OF THE OTHER TEAMS USING THIS SYSTEM ARE: PANTHERS, CHIEFS, RAMS, VIKINGS, RAIDERS, STEELERS (RUNNING GAME AT LEAST), ETC.

If one safety deep - which sidfe are they going to put the Safety they bring down? That will tell us where to attack (GENERALLY opp. S/S).

In 1997, when we ran the Weak formation, (H to weak side) same as Bill's "Doubles," probably 85% of the time we faced cover 1 or 3, the SS lined to the H side, giving us a great blocking advantage to the strong (Y) side.

KARJAW:

I have a few Reskins games left that I still haven't taped over. They are television broadcasts from the early 90s during Gibbs last years of his first campaign. One of them includes SB XXVI. They are not cutups, but full-length broadcasts with commercials and everything. You can study the running game and pre-snap movement well, but studying the passing game takes a lot of rewinding due to the fact that they are not staying with the wide, high angle shots after the ball snapped.

That being said, I am EXTREMELY busy at this time in my life. Working 12 hour night shift 6 days a week, going to college on my day off, and getting the house ready for a baby. All this and I still have to prepare my offense for this season.

Being an ardent supporter of this offense I will definitly try to help you, I just can't guarantee how fast I can get those copies out.
