Hello, my name is Coach Chip and I operate this RU-vid football channel devoted to helping football coaches, from the high school level to the youth level and everything in between, improve their working knowledge of the game. We cover everything from the Jet Sweep to 4 Verticals and everything in between, we will also look at plays off the Jet Sweep along with tags to the 4 Verts. We will cover practice organization, as well as team drills, group drills, and individual drills. I don’t know it all, but I’ve learned a few things in nearly four decades of coaching high school football.
Email me at seagle.chip@gmail.com and I’ll help you in any way I can. I hope you’ll teach me a thing or two as well. #BeElite #wintheday
We do block the 7-9 squeeze in a way similar to what you are talking about; we call "FAN." I try to be very careful with how many tags and exceptions to the rules we have. Too many exceptions lessens the value of have rules. When an offensive lineman has been fighting his guts out for three quarters and he is gassed, he basically has one thing to fall back on; his training. The two main components of an OL's training are his blocking rules and his technique.
Great video. It's important to carry both schemes. We like Buck better right now because we are an under center Wing T team and our Fullback is about 5'5, 145 pounds. Instead, we adjust a couple different ways. First, We have a "stay call" that tells our play-side guard to stay home and our backside guard becomes the kick. We don't mind losing a pulling guard because we are only calling this if teams are blitzing their linebackers into A gap. On the other hand, we have a scheme called "TAG." It stands for Tackle and Guard, and we pull both the Quick Guard and Quick Tackle like a true GT counter scheme.The timing for this is different, but in both cases we have found these adjustments to be better for us than having our fullback kick. Thanks for the content, I love talking Gap scheme and hearing why people choose one over the other. As always thanks for the great content!
We run this concept with duo blocking and read the edge defender. Stole it from veer offense. I’ve never had a qb that could consistently run it as a triple with the bubble threat. We still read the edge, but the read portion is a throw option. We have our HB run at the edge defender and slip past him and run an arrow. The qb read is if the edge defender doesn’t run with the HB throw it. Depending on the defense you might need to run it towards a twins set so you have a slot receiver to block the alley defender. Against odd fronts, most of the time don’t need a slot receiver play side due to the throw read typically is the OLB (alley defender). We have a ton of success with it
Another option is to arc release PST to block out an OLB (and hopefully influence the DE to widen) Need a sixth man (H) somewhere to account for all the blockers with this scheme though, or read the unblocked back side end
Coach, I appreciate your content! I don’t mind letting everyone know that I reached out, and you replied back instantly with 3 options and then took it a step further with making us all a video! 💪🏻🙏🏻
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I love football and it has been good to me since I started playing 50 years ago this August. I am just trying to give back to the profession that gave so much to be for 40 years.
This is an amazing video - thank you! I am just a fan interested in learning more about the game I love watching. I really enjoy videos like this that breakdown all the different formations, schemes, techniques, where they came from and why they were employed.
Please send me an email at seagle.chip@gmail.com I will send you somepix/diagrams in the morning. I believe a well coached GDB team can stick it up a 3-3/5-3 teams booty.
Yes, it keeps him square to the LOS longer and allows him to move better see if the LB is coming. The pushback of the Skip-Pull allows for more depth that gets him away from the Down Blocks.
Coach love the video as always. Sent you an email not sure if it made it but look forward to hearing from you. As always, your work is amazing. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks!!! Now it’s time for you to share it. Y’all think I’m joking, but I’ve done nothing but coach football and teach since 1985. My retirement pension needs some augmentation. There I go showing off my Troy State University degree again. 😂
@@CoachChip we attack the playside bubble (i.e., gap where there is no first level defender), so it could be A, B, or even C, depending on defensive alignment.
I use the maverick rules a lot. I tell our H back, you always have the same blocking assignment no matter where I put you. Example if he’s kicking the edge on duo and he lines up play side he just “J” blocks the edge. Same play but lined up away from the play side, once the ball is snapped he crosses the set and kicks out the edge defender. Same duo play but looks different to a defense.
@@CoachChip we don’t have a maverick call, we have words in the formation to tell the H back ( he’s also our attached TE at times) where to line up. Liz is attached left, rip attached right. King wing left and queen is wing right. He blocks the same assignment so matter where I line him up at. Play call… duo left is Florida for us… Liz Florida he base blocks the edge, king Florida he J blocks edge, queen Florida he kicks out the edge (looks like old school down) same plays 3 looks to a defense, same thing for us. Philosophy give the appearance of being multiple without being complicated
Coming back to this, my question still is "why bother pulling, just run Duo". My only answer is it might be easier for the bsG to wrap to the bsLB than it is for the G/C to dbl team and scrape off to that LBer.
@CoachChip more people should be running Duo imo, but maybe it's a good thing it stays more of a "secret" from most coaches haha. Thanks for the reply coach!
Probably. All the college and pro Gap Scheme teams pull multiple linemen these days. I was breaking a D-3's Buck the other day and it took me about a dozen views to realize that one of the pullers was the Center.
Hey Coach. I moved on to your Jet... First off, terrific package! Install tomorrow. Only question I have is what are the blocking rules for the H Back set playside? Thanks!!!
Super presentation Coach Chip! Regarding the double team block on the 3 tech (Deuce), what are the coaching points for G & T deciding which one comes off and blocks BSLB? Thank you!
Thanks. We teach them to NOT stress over the LB. If he does NOT fit in a gap vertically, we do not want them to come off the DT (3 tech). It is easier said than done and you must rep the piss out of it. We were repping it yesterday in the weightroom after workouts. We tell the OL to let the LB pick which one of them will block him and to not come off until they see the whites of the LB's eyes. If the LB does not make a vertical (downhill) fit. DO NOT COME OFF THE DT.
@@CoachChip Thank you Coach! I’ve been seeing a lot of BSLBs scraping over the top of our double team. So, you teach your OT to stay on dbl until he sees BSLB scraping? You’re right. That is tough. Are you using the “gallop” technique? Thank you!
@@billycougar3378 the OL will NOT come off a Double unless they get a vertical fit. A flat Scrape is not vertical. The idea is to let the LB get caught in the wash.
Hey coach, that’s my favorite RPO. We run a ton of A gap power, when that backside LB sees the guard pull he either inserts right away or scrapes. We don’t lock the backside Tackle we have him block A gap power like normal, for us means first thing inside so either a 3tech or working to LB against even fronts and normally has to block the 4i in odd fronts. We use fly motion to hold that backside edge defender.
I run duo a ton. I found it easy to teach the kids using this rule. We are a pistol 11 personnel, attached TE, which allows us to run it weak or strong without having to change rules. Against an even front we will double the 2 inside Dlineman. Where they line up determines who’s part of the double team. If you aren’t part of the double team you base block the dlineman lined up on you. Odd fronts we double the nose and play side DE. The rule still works, by the rule backside Tackle isn’t part of the double teams so he base blocks the backside DE.
Great video. I like the drop step technique here. Do you have any experience with the opposite side counter from gun sets? For example, the rb is on the right of the qb and crosses his face to follow pullers coming from the left side. I know several coaches who try to run it, but it always looks wonky to me.
I think you are talking about something I did a couple of weeks ago. Michigan has run it a ton the past few years. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it.
