We are running the shotgun spread offense. We are in either trips or doubles. I am looking for some good routes for the passing game when teams want to run a Man-Press with a Cover 2 Shell over the top. What has worked for you and what types of routes can you complete to take advantage of the Man-Press.

Coach Curtis,

We have an opponent that runs the Hawai'i offense pretty darn well (I'm pretty sure it's the same as what you are talking about), and I found a site that details the (your) offense pretty well. Talks about different fronts, coverages, hot reads, etc...

I don't remember the site, but I copied, cut, and pasted, turning it into a 20 page MS Word document complete with diagrams. I wish I remembered the site so I could properly cite his work and give him the credit he deserves, but unfortunately I can't. (I will try to find it again so that I can give proper credit for the work).

Send me your email address and I'll attach it back to you.

**Note** I am not trying to take any credit for the information, nor am I 'leaking' any confidential or propriatary material - just trying to pass along a clean, condensed MS Word version of someone's website.

I would try running fades. Tell the receivers to get to the sideline away from the deep half safety. I would also try to flood the underneath zones. I would try running shallow crosses in these floods. Otherwise I would see if I could get 3 deep and just run by the man coverage and split the safeties.

If all else fails you can always run the best pass play in football .... the draw

Coaches,

I sent the info to your emails you listed.

I also did a search and believe I found the originator of the information. I couldn't verify it 100% because it's a free web host so it is filtered on my district access, but I'm sure it still exists. I found it off of the Option Central links page - Tyler Sisco's Spread Offense site. If the originator of this page wants to contact me, I'll send him the MS format of his site so he can distribute it at clinics or whatever.

Thanks again JC and his band of option merry men. This goes to show the type of information that can be found and shared on your site and sites like yours.

Good Luck - This is week 1 in SoCal!

coach,

if the defense wants to play a cover two shell with man press they are weak against the run. we love it when a team plays cover 2 as we know we are going to gash them with the run game. if you have four rec and they have 6 in coverage(cover 2 look) then you are plus one in the run game as your five oline can take on their 5 defensive front. now defense will try and cheat and leave slot rec uncovered so you have to attack the d if they do that. if you want to go plus 2 you can run your qb.
simple things like a draw or trap. one year our draw averaged 13.3 ydsand trap averaged 9.8yds.
I personally donot like the fade route as it is a low percentage type route. if you are going to throw the ball a fade/falt combo to the two rec side is best. it puts to corner in a bind.
also, smash routes work. the press corner is occupied so a post corner behind him in the dead area of the cover 2 zone works best.

a defensive coordinators worst nightmare is a throwing team gashing him on the run when he thinks he has figured the pass out.

also, hitch screen to the wr works if the slot is a good blocker.
