I will be coordinating the offense this next season. I will be running a Flexbone featuring the following run plays, along with 3-step routes, sprint-out passes, and of course PA.

Midline
ISV
OSV
Veer Counter
Rocket Sweep
Rocket Intercept

Is that list too much for a high school team to handle. I will run 5 formations (able to get into Gun in any)

I really want to work with the "more is less" philosophy. Thank you for your input.

Coach Tapps,

Did I respond to your private emails? I have been in the process of getting moved from the South to Pennsylvania and am just getting settled in here. I know have my computer back on line ans sure sorry if I did not respond. What were your questions? I will anser as soon as you resend them, I promise.

I lost touch where Ken Hatfield is now after he left Rice. I will ask around and let you know when I locate him. He is from Arkansas and probably will resurface coaching back south.

Coach Easton: The rocket intercept is the counter off of rocket sweep. The qb pitches the ball as if running rocket sweep, the backside slot will come underneath and "intercept" the ball going the other way.

To be honest, this will be the first time that I will coordinate my own offense on the varsity level. I was a JV coordinator running the mentioned plays minus the Rocket. Then last year I got a teaching job and started as a WR/DB coach, halfway through the season the HC decided he wanted me to call plays. That is the exitent of my offensive coordinating to this point

I guess my point was I have coordinated the veer a little but never have ran Rocket or Rocket Intercept yet. I have seen multiple clips diagrams and talked about it but this season I will do it myself for the first time so I will not pretend to be an expert.

Flexraid: In the past I have coordinated at the JV level running outside veer using what was taughht to me to teach. I plan to seal the inside using gap-down-backer rules and option the E.M.O.L. With that said I am open to suggestions and I would love any ideas about blocking rules. I want rules to remain consistent from week to week regardless of the front I am facing.

Thanks a million for all the help.

good stuff...
i can tell you we run iv and ov. they are the staple of our offense , but we are an "i" team. to me outside veer from any ubalanced is about as tough to stop of a play out there. always make some who is used to taking pitch the dive resposibility..its awesome for us

Any more information you have would be great. Any materials, that you are willing to share would also be great. Thank You!

MARAUDER 8,

I MOVED TO WEST PITTSBURGH, WHICH IS REALLY AN HOUR NORTHWEST OF PITTSBURGH, ONLY 5 MILES FROM NEW CASTLE, PA. I CONSULT WITH TEAMS AROUND THE COUNTRY ON BOTH THE HIGH SCHOOL AND PRO MINOR LEAGUE LEVELS AND TWO COLLEGE TEAMS IN EUROPE. I ALSO WORK WITH A TEAM IN DUBLIN, IRELAND AND ONE IN AUSTRALIA AND ANOTHER IN FINLAND. MY ON FIELD COACHING CAREER WAS CUT SHORT AFTER 42 YEARS WHEN I WAS HIT WITH SOME MAJOR HEALTH ISSUES OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE.

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

Tiger One,
I am here in Central PA. Hershey to be exact. I am taking some time off of coach to be with my family untill my children are in school. I am currently developing my Flexbone Playbook, in preparation of becoming an OC or HC. Unfortunately I have no practice to observe. If you have a chance next year try to catch a McKeesport or General McClean Game. Two of the Best Flexbone Teams in the Country. McKeesport especially.

Looking back on it, it's really a beautiful thing to see a school run the midline that well.
