Time for some passing. O-Right Pass 419.

Hey y'all, I know its been a little while, but I am sure just like me, football season has us staying busy.

I made a few posts before the season started, but have not published them. I would have the drawings and notes and such ready to go, I just had to sit down long enough to type this out. Anyway, enough  rambling, let's talk about some play action out of the "O" set, since I have been on that kick recently.

The last play we discussed was, O-Right 447. This play I will be talking about today, is the play action off of it "Pass 419".

As the name suggests, its a fake to the HB, with the QB rolling to the left.

The blocking quite simple, the center and strong side of the line, Gap and Hinge quick.

The Quick guard and tackle, go over/inside.

The FB chops the first threat past the Quick tackle.

The HB fakes 447.

Qb reverses out like 447, fakes, then gets depth.

The TB will go 3 steps inside, before cutting out towards the sideline.

The SM runs a corner.

Some people have the SE run a drag, i put that as optional, as i feel that a screen to him off of a 419 fake is set up better that way, which ill get to in another post if yall wanna read about that.

Hope yall enjoyed this, coaches.

Hope yall have a healthy and successful season!

O set. 447. Finally, the HB gets some love!

Howdy coaches, on my day off I decided not to spend the day in the 108 degree Texas heat, so I stayed inside and started with some ideas about a new blog post.

I had a lot of great feedback from the O set post so I figured I’d stay there. Issue is, I want to write about some Halfback plays, which, in this set, is awesome. But info and film on it can be kind of difficult to get ahold of. So I opened up the trusty scribd playbook and looked for the play called “147” which some coaches still call it that way. I was taught that when the web reverse pivots, it’s the 400 series. So that’s what I’ll call it. 447..

The play itself is very very downhill, with no pulling, but with a double team at the POA. I LOVE this play. 

Now, for the play. 

The blocking rules are actually pretty simple. 

The backside (strong side) goes downfield and gets the deep defenders. The strong guard scoops to second level. 

The centers rule is onside/backside. 

The quick guard (play side guard) hooks number 1 in this case, the backer 

Quick tackle double teams somewhere. If he’s uncovered, he doubles with the quick guard. 

If the Tailback hears a “5” call (5 tech) he doubles with the strong tackle. 

If no one there, he makes a “0” call and influence blocks #4. As shown above in the bottom left. 

The swing man takes most dangerous linebacker. 

The fullback will take a banana oath and kick the first man past the quick tackle. 

The halfback takes one step at #4 then pushes off and hits tight off the double team. 

The quarterback reversed out and hands the call as deep as possible. Then fakes 419. 

As I said before, I love this play and live the fact the HB gets another opportunity to run the ball, because in this offense, I’d go as far as to say that he’s more of a blocker than a runner. And as a huge fan of the swing man, nothing is more satisfying than blocking the most dangerous LB. that LB better have his head on a swivel!  

That concludes it for today. I’m trying to learn how to add video. So maybe look for that in the near future. Thanks for all the support coaches!

The “O” set. Aka, the slot-t’s I formation.

Hey y’all, I realize that I have yet to update this in over two years! Since then I’ve created a YouTube channel, which I’ve made a couple slot t videos, but not in about a year, I want to keep talking slot t. But as I sat down to make another video on the “O” set out of the slot t I realized how camera shy and terrified of talking to a camera haha. So, I’ve decided to write it all down and talk through text. 

Anyhow, I’ve spoken to many coaches interested in the slot t, but wanted more of a downhill run game. (I know I know, the slot t is definitely a downhill run offense) anyhow, many people asked about that dang “I” formation that some slot t teams run. Which, ironic enough, they call the “O” set.

Just thought I’d get that out of the way before I dive into some of the “O” set stuff and maybe make this a blog series thing. Now, onto the “O” set. 

The “O” set is the I formation in the slot t offense, it moves the HB from his normal backfield position to behind the FB in an I alignment, everyone else in the offense place stays the same. 

Subtle change huh? But, you can run some cool things out of it. 

First of all, I’d align the Hb 6-7 yards from the nose of the ball, as stated on the paper. 2 or 4 pt. Stance is acceptable, except I love the 4 pt. So that’s what I’d prefer. 

Running the 200 or “power” series out of this is not ideal, as you lose your HB as a lead blocker on 234/36 and 228. But you can can still run 243TT like in A set. 

The 300 series is legit out of this set. But the FB traps is the reason why, having a deep back I feel like the defense loses the FB while keying the HB more than in A set. Would not reccomend running 349 (the bucksweep) our if this. But there is a play, 345 that hits more inside, but with less pulling. It’s really a split flow play with the FB going one way, and the HB going another. 

The 400 series or “G” series is also a must have in this set. With the HB being the ball carrier, plays 447 and the PA off of it, Pass 419 are great great plays. 

Also, the toss series to the HB is good such as plays 648 and 649 respectively. 

The 8HR (8 hole reverse is a must have in this set as is 422 which is the TB inside trap) 

I can get into greater detail with these in future blog posts if y’alld like. 

As always, I appreciate all y’all coaches that reach out. And as always, y’all can holler at me anytime and I’ll try to help anyway I can.

400 Series! My favorite. 434 G lead.

Hey y'all, sorry about the delay of content, ive been busy coaching soccer (dont judge me) haa. Anyways, i hope yall had a great and safe new years!

Today we're going to start talking about the 400 series, the "G" series. My personal favorite.

My last count this series has 5-6 base plays 422, 422 keep/down option, 418 G keep, 434 G lead, and pass 418. But the possibilities are endless.

Anyways, lets start with 434 G lead, the FB belly.

Rules:

Strongend- release inside, MDLB.

Strongtackle- on/inside, if man over guard, you take him.

Strongguard- pull, kick out EMLOS.

Center- onside/backside.

Quickguard- secure playside A, then release to second level.

Quicktackle- go second level, throw on safety.

Swingman- release, go get far safety.

Tailback- tom motion fake 228. If no motion, throw on safety.

Halfback- lead C gap, take LB.

Fullback- open step, take ball, follow SG.

Quarterback- reverse out, hand ball to FB deep, carry out 418 fake.

Guys, hope this post helps yall out, i dont have a hard copy of these blocking rules so im going off of memory, if yall have any questions i check my email kinda daily, and im always on the Twitter. Hope yall enjoy it!

318 keep.

Hey y'all, sorry for the delay, the holiday season has a grip on my free time. Anywho, no excuses, lets talk about a QB run play off of 349 action. Im iffy on this play as i think the LBs would have to be keying the backfield pretty hard.

Anyways. Here's 318 keep.

Blocking rules:

Strongend- first inside.

Strongtackle- first inside.

Strongguard- first inside.

Center- backside.

Quickguard- pull and seal on PSLB.

Quicktackle- scoop across face of second down lineman, then go throw downfield.

Tailback- step inside, like 349, go downfield and cut the FS. IMPORTANT BLOCK.

Swingman- show a post, then throw downfield. (Ive seen it ran where the SM just goes and cuts the FD.. I prefer that way myself).

Fullback- kickout first person past the strongends block. Same angle as 234 with a 5 call. ( i covered that about a year ago, it's in the 200 series section).

Halfback- make a great 349 fake.

Quarterback- take a deep drop step, keep shoulders square, make a great fake while staying patient, follow QG to the endzone.

Thats all i got for now, next ill be covering the 400 series, or the "G" series. Unless yall want me to talk about something else.

Yall have a wonderful holiday season and be safe!

Paketterman.

The next play we're gonna discuss is 319 Keep, great if you have an athletic QB or if the defense is flowing hard on 3-2-8.
