The Ultimate Football Playbook is put together using five different offensive schemes.
1. The Pro-Set: Terrific formation to implement everything. Power, passing, screens, misdirection, motion. This formation will keep a defense on their heels.
2. The I-Formation: Great for power running with a strong line and backs. Screens and passes can also be used in this form.
3. The Shotgun Spread: Used to spread a defense out to either side. QB draws, sweeps, reverses, quick slants, and go's are run from this formation.
4. The wishbone: Used for power and misdirection. Unlike the I or the Pro-set, your back can hit a hole using two lead blockers instead of one. You can also run misdirection fakes and still utilize a lead blocker.
5. The Run and Shoot: used to pass and spread the defense out. Allows your QB to read the defense using a motion man. The theory with this offense is there's always a man open if read and executed properly.
There are several reasons why a team should have and know more than one or two offenses.
1. Switching up your offensive scheme during a game or a series can confuse the defense.
2. If a defense is shutting you down then having multiple offenses gives a team options.
3. Not all teams run the same defense. Some offenses work great against certain defenses. Knowing the difference and executing the right offense against a certain defense will win games.
4. If you're in a league that has a minimum play rule then you can dedicate one offense strictly for those kids. This will allow you to get their plays in and show the defense a different look at the same time.
WHAT COMES IN THIS PLAYBOOK?
The Ultimate Football Playbook comes equipped with 156 detailed plays in five different offenses. Plays include run, pass, misdirection, spread, and power. The I-Form and Pro-Set include power and spread formations. The power form utilizes two tight ends and a flanker for power running and extra protection. The spread form replaces a tight end with a wide receiver and spreads the flanker out wide to spread the defense out. The I-Form and Pro-Form can be run in power or spread formations. Plays are all designed and worded by formation, side, and hole. The play calls are self-explanatory for quicker learning. You can easily show one formation on 1st down and another formation on 2nd down. The last few pages are blank X’s and O’s in all forms against 5-3 and 4-4 defenses so you can easily print and make your own plays during the season. Last but not least, there’s also some fun agility drills suggestions, some cool defensive blitz schemes that linebackers love to do, and offensive blocking schemes in different looks including goal line stances.
