Using Motion?

I am not sure what hawaii game film you are looking at but the stuff I have does not have any tightends in it nor does it have any two back.

the university of houston in the hey day under jenkins did very little motion as well. they linedup in trips or doubles. in trips they would try and run 50% of the time the choice and 50% of the time some form of go or slide. they widened their slots to 5yds as well.

the reason for the spreading of offense in inregards to the virgina tech style defense which was stuffing traditional offense. now we are seeing defenses like the 3-3-5 and 4-2-5 to combat the spread. so you are seeing teams liningup and running right at these defenses. the 3-3-5 is a smoke and mirrors type defense. it is meant to create confusion particularlly is pass protection but you lineup in two te's,1back and 2 wides now you have to bring those ss types rightup on the line playing against large offensive linemen or facing getting the ball stuffed down your throat if you donot.

there is turth that with motion you can get a idea if it is man or zone. in man coverage the guy has to run or the coverage has to rotate. that is the basis behind the run and shoot. motion to oneside and create a overload. however your zoneblitz defenses have created havoc with the tradional run and shoot pass protection.
what I donot like about the run and shoot is unless you are in shotgun it really limits you to the side your qb throws. that half roll to the left for a righthanded qb is really tough. in shotgun it works better as you are at a five yd depth and you can just shuffle your feet.

for me personally I would never have my qb undercenter unless I am going quick game. the shotgun expands the vision so much, the qb is not thinking about his footwork and gives you time against the blitz.
as for those huge linesplits that is a mouse davis trade mark. if you have any of the mouse davis run and shoot tapes his pass pro tapes talk about the splits. we are talking 3-6 ft splits. just my take on the subject.

as far as defenses playing straightup coverages if you watch tech there goal is to snap the ball within 10 seconds of it being put in play. there theory is lets see how your dbs are in the forth quarter when we have throw the ball 40 times in the first 3 quarters. if you look at their stats they have averaging 62 passes agame and completing 40 of them.

at the high school level most dc's have one run coverage and one pass coverage. postioning is the big key at the high school level for the h.s.defense. if you try some defense which they are not comfortable with you can tell.
we are 50% noback and 50% shotgun oneback either trips or doubles. we go five out on just about every play to put the max pressure on the defense. our goal is to become like tx tech and snap the ball quickly.
