New manual on the 3x2 Spread Passing Game by Coach Easton

Coach Easton,

what should I do if I am interested in receiving an autographed copy of the book? should I still just wait until next week and purchase from the website?

Coach Mitch

Coach Mike,

Watch your mail box at your house.

Coach Easton

Coach Easton,

That works just fine for me. Thanks.

Coach Mitch

Coach Easton,

Received the manuscript/book today.

Thank you so much for putting this together and autographing it. I definitely will be installing the nuts and bolts of this offensive attack in the upcoming weeks.

I would also like to encourage all other coaches interested in learning more about the 3x2 Spread Offensive Attack developed over the years by such a knowledgeable and fine coach and gentlemen (and I may add - a man of God) to purchase the book as soon as Coach Campbell has made it available. Definitely need to add this book to your football library.

Thanks again, Coach, and I have the greatest respect for you through all your encouragement during my coaching endeavors and special times of spiritual need during my Mom's passing into God's Heavenly Kingdom.

God Bless and may we always stay in touch.

Mike

Coaches,

Other topics in the book include play calling, game planning, plays for specific spots on the field going out and going in, an indepth section on reading the defenses as well is included. Also, a breakdown of our 1994 Super Bowl Championship play off games is part of the book.

Coach Easton,

I could be overlooking it, but I don't see the manual listed as of yet. Will it be listed under new products or in the links?

Coach Mitch

TRAILBLAZER,

HAVE YOU GOT TO START ON THE INSTALLATION OF THE 3 X 2 YET? IF SO, HOW IS IT COMING ALONG? DO YOUR PLAYERS LIKE IT, AND YOUR STAFF?

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BOUGHT THE BOOK, ARE YOU FINDING IT HELPFUL? PLEASE POST AND LET ME KNOW, AS TIME PERMITS.

TRAILBLAZER,

So glad to hear the system is being well accepted. Thank you for the kind words. Keep me posted on your progress as spring practice proceeds if you will. Where do you coach again? (state and city).
What class school?

Coach Easton

TRAILBLAZER,

You will appreciate the description of our 1994 AFL Super Bowl Championship play off run in my book
you just purchased. Our guys were paid and we were able to send 31 athletes on to the next rung of pro ball in the 10 years I had the team. My 1995 Punter, Scott Player, had been the starting Punter with the Arizona Cardinals right up until this past season. All of our success came from the 3 x 2.

BASICS of QB Pre & Post Snap reads!

Lets go on with the post snap reads:

Here are things that we have taught over the years to help determine coverages correctly that you and I have shared in the past in hope of helping young coaches and old coaches alike.

We are going to read what we call THE SQUARE, an area that is MOF about 15 yds to 25 yds deep and two yards inside the hashes. This is for when you have failed to detemine the coverage in the PSL and lets you know if you have recognized it correctly after the snap. This a drop back reading technique but works well for a gun QB as well. He just keeps his head and eyes straight down field and does not stare at either safety, but sees them out of his peripheral vision.

If neither safety shows up in the square, and both are aligned deep, it will indicate a cover #2 . quick look at the CB's will tell him if it is #2/man or #2/zone. IF NEITHER SHOW UP IN THE SQUARE AND BOTH ARE LOW, HERE COMES THE BLITZ AND YOU HAD BETTER HAVE A PLAN READY TO STOP IT.

If the SS shows in the square this indicates a cover # 3 rolled weak or cover # 1 possibly.
If the FS (weak safety) shows in the square this would indicate a cover # 3 or cover # 1. If it is cover # 3, it could be 3 sky(safety) or 3 cloud (CB) depending on who has the short zone.

Very important to teach your QB to understand that if either show, the high percentage throw then becomes the side the safety came from, in other words away from the defender. IF NEITHER SHOW, THEN THROWING INTO A MOFO(MIDDLE OF FIELD OPEN) IS ALWAYS A HIGH PERCENTAGE THROW!!!

Most know I run a 3 x 2 spread, but when throwing from a more conventional formation such as a one back with 2 TE's and 2 WR's which I know you use a lot probably, we want to do away with a pooular misconception about counting the defenders in the box. We don't actually count the defenders but just look at the safeties. One safety deep usually indicates 8 in the box, two would indicate 7. With one TE, 3 WR's and one back ( you taught me this Bill) one deep safety indicates 7 in the box and two would indicate 6 in the box. This technique is very accurate 99% of the time and much faster 100% of the time.

If you have a running play called, and the QB is looking at 3 DLM, this indicates some form of 3-4 which is nothing more than the old 5-2 with a few different angles to block and is a bit more mobile, indicates a
a a 5-3, 33 stack, 3-5 stack. Eliminate the 3-3 stack if they do not use it it often! you can TOTALLY DISREGARD THE 5-3 UNLESS THERE IS A STACK ON THE NOSE REGULARLY!

If they have 4 DLM it is a 4-3 0r possibly 4-4 (4-2-5) . Remember, a 4-3 under/shade is almost exactly the same as 3-4 (5-2) with the nose shaded strong and kicked down, or eagled, reduced on the backside.
It then becomes a 5-2 eagle weak. WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW IS HOW MANY SAFTIES AND IF THEY ARE IN RED OR WHITE. WHITE= LB DEFENDING THE B GAP RED= B GAP DEFENDED BY A 3 TECH OR A 4i.

Next post I will share what I mean about a more effective way for your QB to read in todays game, the coverages he will be seeing. Feel free to jump right in with coments Bill, and anyone else interested in doing so.

Coach Jerry,

In your point of interest you wrote that "we always try to throw out cuts to the left as the spin factors of the football are conductive to doing so."

Is that for right and left handed quarterbacks/passers? Or, is it for a right-handed quarterback throwing to the left? Then for a left-handed quarterback the spin factors of the football would be more conductive to the right on the out cut throws, correct?

Mike

Bill,

Your turn to add some good stuff now. Appreciate your time in advance.
