Another B.O.B. Question

BDW - SOME PEOPLE "BOB" ON BOTH SIDES, WHILE OTHERS "BOB" ON ONE SIDE ONLY. ON THE "BOB" SIDE - THE CENTER HAS ANYONE ON (ON OR OFF LOS) - N/T - BLOCK FIRST MAN AWAY (ON OR OFF LOS); THE ONSIDE GUARD HAS FIRST MAN ON LINE OF SCRIMMAGE OUTSIDE THE CENTER; THE ONSIDE TACKLE HAS SECOND MAN ON LOS OUTSIDE THE CENTER; THE RB HAS FIRST LB FROM INSIDE-OUT (OUTSIDE "CENTER BOX") - IF NONE (OLD PRO 4-3 "6-1 LOOK") BLOCK EMLOS (WHO USUALLY WILL BE AN OLB). YOU CAN ALSO GIVE THE RB A SECOND CHECK ON PERIMETER PRESSURE HIS SIDE (S/S; W/C' ETC.).

Hey Bill,

Just saw Norm Chow use a stack receiver set that I got from the Arena League in '95 (USC verses UCLA)
He stacks directly behind the x, I stack with the x on and slot and two receivers directly behind him. They are going to cover in man, and you get the same picks and rubs that you do in bunch that occur naturally.
I run a pattern called "covey flush" (slot runs 7 yd. buttonhook to outside, #2 runs takeoff, #3 runs 7 yd. curl in. Been very good for me.

with the evolution of zone blocking schemes the only time a take over with a combo should take place is with a linebacker tracking over the top, a fast exit was first introduced with the scoop block. Coach Campbell

When an offensive linemen takes is track at a 45 degree angle it is known as a stretch which will probably force the back to cut backside. I attach the alert word Stretch when we call a play such as 46 Stretch to get the back to cutback side of the 45 degree track the offensive line takes. My passion lies talking about zone blocking schemes. Since 1985 when the NCAA and High School allowed the use of full extended hands the zone schemes really took off. Coach CAmpbell

For all you you coaches who are in the gun. Lets say your are in spread doubles (two wide outs to both sides) and the defense gives you a 4 man front and two backers. Opposite the back do you have any one responsible for the guy over the inside receiver if he blitzes. I know you can fan it and have center block the 1 or 3 tech, guard block 5 tech and tackle pick up blitzer but I am afraid of the backer to that side. It may be easier if you guys just tell me how you handle those guys over the recievers if they come.

Rocket 2003,
Oneback, just ran it down for you. I run a 5 wide (trips to the frontside, 1 flexed end on two slots with 5 yd. splits off. Backside= flexed end on, slot receiver splits distance between end on and quick tackle) empty gun with the QB at a depth of 6-7 yds. If ANYONE over a receiver comes, we just make the sight adjustment and get him the ball right now! If scoting shows they do that a lot, we game plan routes for that scenario. If it is the first time they have decided to use that stunt, we tey to make believers out of them real quick that that is a bad move. I have another rule: if Qb and receivers read them cheating the FS out of MOF, huddle call is off and all 5 receivers will run our base vertical stretch which is two boundary release go's or fades, by the # 1's, # 2's run straight go's, #3 on trips side runs 18 yd. post. I have always taught that there ar 8 passing zones ( 5 under and 3 deep). Sid Gilman, the passing game guru of them all, taught there were 9 because he counted both sides under and came up with 6 instead of five.
His reasoning was that if you only defend 8 zones, then one defender is going to have a double assignment on every play. Of course he is right, without a doubt. But, my point here is a FS cheated out of the middle of the field is leaving himself wide open when 5 verticals come flying out. Now, there are coaches out there that move there FS on a regular basis in their 30 defenses to align over the TE in order to be in a position to better play the alley, etc. Their explanation of why they do this is very plausible and sound in their minds. I have no argument with that whatsoever. You go with what you know and with what you are comfortable coaching. I'm comfortable with the fact that 5 deep verticals will give the defense real trouble if the FS is out of the MOF.

Oneback,

What did Oakland do in Super Bowl 18 against the Redskins in 1984? That defense absolutely shut down Gibbs' offense. It seemed like their corners were playing tight bump and run coverage on the Skins two receivers and then let everyone else stop the run.

Please explain Mug linebackers and what the Raiders did to hold the Skins to 9 points in that game.

Charlie McBride did something similar with Nebraska's defense back in the 90's except from a 4-3. He would put his MLB and OLB's up at or very close to the line of scrimmage in the gaps the d-linemen were not in. Then, they would either blitz or drop off in coverage. They were pretty damn good against both the run and pass at that time.

Was Oliver playing tight bump and run coverage on those 3 receivers and TE?

OneBack,
Are you the same Bill Mountjoy who coached at Matoaca High School in the Early Nineties??

CoachPierson - yes, I was at Matoaca HS in the early 90's. I had actually retired previously, & came back for those 3 years. We had a pretty fair team (Farrior running the ball, & Akins throwing it). Where were you coaching (or playing) then? Are you located in Va.?
