Loved the accountability portion of this video. Youth coaches have even fewer resources to work with than high school coaches. Acknowledging there’s always an accountability & evolution of coaching at each level is awesome. Thanks coach
At 20:19 the solo WR should run an immediate slant and catch the ball in the area voided by the WS. If the CB on the solo WR is good, motion the solo WR in and while he is moving left, snap the ball and immediately throw the slant to the area voided by the WS. Coach Mckie calls the voided area that is not covered by defenders grass. This play basically throws the ball to the slant in the grass behind the WS.
Good stuff Coach Mac. I particularly enjoyed how you're teaching your players. That being said, do you feel that changing your splits so frequently based on the play starts to give anything away to defenses in film study?Will they start to recognize receiver splits cut down means the ball is trying to get to the edge? Also how are you handling with the defense takes the large split? For instance a big gap between guard and tackle, I've seen D Ends instructed to make their alignment off the tackle instead. And the same where defense of tackles will take the large split given by the guard.
The splits are not drastic enough to give away anything major. The good thing with packaged plays is the defense still has to defend 3/4 different things. We take our alignment off offensive players, if splits were that nasty we might make a gap call and line up in our gap
