Coach,
I recently purchased your "The Complete Offense" manual from you at a clinic. I have found it to be helpful and filled with good information.
My question is regarding your "Crash" play. I recognize this as being a variation of the "Toss" play that Double Wing teams live and die by. I would like to think that this play is adaptable to the "I formation" offense as you have illustrated it. I have a couple of questions and concerns about installing it myself:
1. The DW teams that run this play rely on a backside TE to cut the defender lined up over the pulling OT. As you have illustrated it from your "Pro-I" set, you do not have the ability to do this. Have you found backside pursuit to be a problem? Or, do you gameplan around who that DE will be and how the defense has him playing, perhaps only running it against a softer DE?
2. Do you change your splits at all in the offensive line?
3. Do you adjust the depth of your tailback, or is he okay at the standard depth?
Perhaps the DE on the backside would not be as much of an issue running it from a base offense. Most defenses that play DW teams gear their base to stop the Toss play. Where teams that are defensing a multiple-I attack are not concerned about this being your "base play", maybe it's not as much a problem.
Let me know if you have any advice.
