Situation Philosophy
Scoring Zone
1. Have “bread and butter” run and pass plays that we execute well, no matter what
the defense.
2. Ball carries must run North and south; every yard is valuable.
3. Eliminate negative yardage plays (no penalties or sacks); no turn-overs.
4. Always anticipate a pressure defense (blitz, dogs, overloads).
5. Stay consistent with the snap count that got you there. Utilize quick count.
6. Maintain momentum. Get in an out of the huddle and aligned in the formation
call quickly. Keeps the defense reeling.
7. Utilize formation and movement vs. a man coverage defense.
8. Pass receivers must execute releases. Get into route cleanly. Anticipate tight
coverage an bump releases
9. Don’t waste plays; call time out if necessary
10. Know 3rd down play- whether or not will use both downs to get first, or kick FB on
4th down.
Short yardage/Goaline
1. Consistent snap count. Get off together and with low pad level.
2. Ball carries run North and South.
3. Offensive line take LOS.
Long yardage
1. We will at time run on 3rd and long. We will make some 1st downs running and will
also slow down the pass rush.
2. Receivers on pass plays make sure to break routes deep enough to catch the ball
for a 1st down.
3. QB never forces ball.
Coming Out
1. No turnovers
2. Utilize longer snap count
3. Ball carriers run north/south, not lateral.
4. Pass the ball outside, not over the middle. Eliminate tipped balls with lead to
possible interceptions
5. We will throw deep from our own end zone.
Four minute offense
1. Make 1st downs. Maintain aggressiveness and momentum
2. Ball carriers stay in bounds
3. Ball carrier make official ask you for the ball.
4. Injured players get off the field.
5. No penalties
6. use single snap count
7. Know opponents remaining time-outs.
8. Snap the ball w/ 2 seconds left.
