Installing the Gun Offense

Coach:

Offense:
I believe that an offense has the greatest amount of flexibility with a tight end and two backs. However, how you deploy those three positions can create some advantageous match-ups. I fully recognize the benefits of one-back and empty sets, and in deed use them, but when the lights go on, if we are fortunate enough to have a tight end and two backs that is what we will use about 60 to 70% of the time. The type of plays and run/pass mix will depend upon our players, so it changes from year-to-year, or week-to-week depending upon injuries.

Defense:
I use the 30 stack because it is the only defense that puts 6 in the "tackle-to-tackle" box. We don't cover the tight end, using the "common version" of the Stack. The stack is easily adjusted to the various types of offenses that we see, and allows us to run a variety of stunt packages, and coverage packages. It is adaptable to all types of defensive abilities from small/fast to big/slow, however regardless of the scheme, you must be able to tackle.
