VISION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bill - You PROBABLY have Alex Gibbs' tapes. Look at those cutups (which are taken from BEHIND the offense). The RB NEEDS to look at these & get a FEEL for how to read the play, & to make the ONE cut & live with it. The HARDEST part of the play to teach is the RB READS! The tape is IMPERATIVE. Here is a SUMMARY of the RB's reads - but he needs to SEE IT!

RB: LINE UP 7 ½-8 YARDS DEEP. DROP STEP & RUN ON TRACK FOR YOUR LANDMARK - THE BUTT OF THE TE (OR WHERE THE TE WOULD BE) – PRESS THE HOLE. READ HATS OF THE FIRST TWO MEN ON THE LOS COUNTING FROM OUTSIDE-IN (EXCLUDING Lbers). IF THE OUTSIDE MAN COMES IN – YOU GO OUT. IF THE OUTSIDE MAN GOES OUT – YOU GO IN & READ THE INSIDE MAN (RUN OFF HIM). RB IS PERMITTED ONLY ONE CUT, AND LIVE WITH IT! DETERMINE WHERE YOU WILL CUT BY THE TIME YOU GET TO ORIGINAL ALIGNMENT OF TE’S BUTT.

How you TEACH this play depends on your PHILOSOPHY of the play. It is run DIFFERENTLY by many people.

SOME (Broncos; Alex Gibbs, etc.) try to aim for the butt of the TE & take it UPFIELD ASAP. OTHERS aim 2 or more yards OUTSIDE the TE & try to take it wide unless FORCED to cut it up.

Many strictly ZONE the play, while OTHERS (the Colts, etc.) use "pullers".

ALL this effects the reads & coaching of the RB!

Once you have determined HOW you wish to run it - you must rep the "H" out of it! As Alex Gibbs says: "you can't perfect the zone plays & run a bunch of other stuff with it"!
