roll out

Saw the same situation when I was a soph. in high school. Our senior QB was very athletic and mobile with good talent at the skill spots and a young line that needed a lot of work. Our coaches installed the Run and Shoot (Glen Ellison vintage) with what we now see as the spread option game, a power, a trap and a reverse and started getting that program turned around.

The R&S gets your guy moving and reading on the run, the keys are fairly simple (depending of course on the sophistication of the coverages you'll see), and it's a lot of fun to play and watch. The spread option game adds some balance by letting you take advantage of the QBs & RBs play-making abilities from the same formation you throw from.

Check out Glen Ellison's book or Al Black's book "Coaching Run and Shoot Football", you might see some things you like there. Last time I looked they were available from Amazon. Spread option stuff is discussed pretty well in the book from the Georgia Southern guy (the book and/or author's name escape me at the moment, let me know if you want me to look it up).

That's it. Thanks, coach.
