Coaches' Play Sheets

(From MY experience): You will NEVER be able to draw every play from every conceivable shift/motion/finished formation, vs every conceivable defense. Don't even try.

Russ Grimm & Alex Gibbs hit the nail on the head when they said that 75-85% of the looks you get are:

1. OVER: (DT ON STRONG SIDE IN A 3, & DT ON WEAK SIDE IN A 1)


2. OVER/SHADE: (SAME AS ABOVE EXCEPT THE 1 TECH SHADES THE CENTER ON WEAKSIDE)


3. UNDER: (DT ON STRONG SIDE IN A 1, & DT ON WEAK SIDE IN A 3)

4. UNDER/SHADE: (SAME AS #3 EXCEPT DT ON STRONGSIDE SHADES THE CENTER, & DT ON THE WEAKSIDE IN A 3)

NOTE: LBers (3 OR 4) align GENERALLY reflects the formations!

If you draw your plays vs these - you will find you can block just about any look. There ARE "specials" of course, such as a "SOLID LOOK" (Bears 46, etc.) where there are 3's on BOTH Guards, a 0/Nose on the Center, and USUALLY a MLB.

Too hard to explain without diagrams. If you WISH to call - it is 804-740-4479

Hey AZ,

That OC was doing nothing more than a student who crams till all hours of the night for a 9:00 AM exam. You know how useless that is. He should have been digesting the plan on a daily basis and if he wanted to commit it to memory he should have been memorizing the entire plan a day at a time. To be perfectly honest, I never even heard of a coach commiting an entire game plan to memory to begin with. I had just posted on another thread here on the board of the benefits of working SMARTER, not longer. This example that you site is exactly what I was mentioning being against. Just my opinion as usual.
