IntroductionIntroduction As a teaching philosophy, this is a
complete offensive system that is verylogical and simple to comprehend by bothplayers and coaches
This system allows you to spend quality
time teaching fundamentals, because youdont have to spend an inordinate amountof time running plays to teach the systemas well as specific plays to the players
Once the language of the system islearned and installed, the possible play-calls and formations are virtually endless

Introduction (cont)Introduction (cont)
Easy to understand and easy for playersand coaches to learn
Simple to install in a short period of time
Allows a team to make adjustments atanytime during a game Extremely flexible
Note of Interest It turns out that this isvery close variation of Sid Gilmans
system. Joe Gibbs (New Redskins HeadCoach) runs a similar system Extremelyflexible for shifts, motions and multipleformations!

Philosophy of the SystemPhilosophy of the System Use a system where a coach can teach efficiently
with high quality instruction teaching becomesa priority
Create a precision-timed passing game withexplosive capabilities, i.e. vertically push the balldownfield We also have to go into any given season
being able to beat the bump & run defenderconsistently we use our own innovativetechniques
Be able to physically run the ball effectively bydouble-teaming at the point of attack (the insideand outside zones are also included)
Have the capability to make immediateadjustments during a game
Create an offense that is hard to prepare forbecause it is so multifaceted
Use multiple formations and a multitude of plays Take what the defense gives us most all of the
time

Play Calling PhilosophyPlay Calling Philosophy
Make sure the players are fundamentallysound
Spread the ball around to many players Call plays that get the players in a position to
succeed if they make big plays, its a plus Put the ball where the defense is vulnerable Only audible when absolutely necessary Do everything we can to put the defense on
their heels
Keep the ball from the defense if necessary (aball-control offense) Push the ball downfield and score points (if
you decide you have to get into a shootout)

The angle is sometimes tough forthe RB, but he has to press thehole in a hurry so the backsidedoesnt make the tackle.
The QB is now accounting for thebackside end by reading him. Ifthe ends shoulders areperpendicular to the LOS, the QBkeeps the football.
The ability of the QB candetermine whether he (QB) can
take chances running the footballeven if the end doesnt fullycommit to chasing down the RB.

IV. If you go to your secondary read, that read
becomes the next down-lineman in, which willbe double-teamed.V. You only get to make one cut; then you must
push the ball vertically up-field.VI. Whether you are wrong or right on your read,

Goal: To make the End show us right now exactlywhere the football is going.
Right Tackle
1.) You must stretch his outside while grabbing hisinside with your inside hand. You are doing this so he
does not stretch you wide, and then throw you wideand then slide up inside.
a. This must be drilled constantly!
2.) You must control his inside with your inside armand make him make a decision on going inside or
going outside right now. We dont want the defenderjust standing there we have got to move him one

Goal: To double team the backs number 2 read which in this caseis the Tackle (DT) so that we can control him should the End gooutside. Predominantly, the defensive tackle will be a better athlete/ football player than the offensive guard. We will double the DT as
long as he doesnt move. We need to help our guard with thecenter. Now the backside Guard will attack the Nose.Right Guard1.) Your target area is the outside half of the DT. You will have helpon the inside with your Center (DEN call). You will block theoutside half of the DT and knock him off the ball. You are not
worried about him coming inside at all.Center1.) Your target area is the tackles (DT) helmet. You will drive himuntil he disappears and /or then look for the backer plugging.

Tight Zone (Read)
1) You must give the ball carrier a clean read every time.2) If you have a combination block and are the insidelineman, your aiming point is to put your helmet on thedefenders helmet.3) If you have a combination block and are the inside

The Formation SystemThe Formation System
When counting both right and leftformations, we have over 100distinct formations that we can run
plays from.But because we are telling each player
(X, Y, Z, H, and F) specifically what todo, we can move players to any of 5
different positions, giving us theillusion of over 500 differentformations.
-
8/7/2019 West Coast Spread Offense
92/151
This gives us the ability to takeadvantage of specific match-ups.
EXAMPLE:
We can move our X receiver to the F position,and have one of our best receivers coming
out of the backfield matched up with alinebacker.
We can move our F back to the X position,
giving us a good blocker on the perimetermatched up against a cornerback.
-
8/7/2019 West Coast Spread Offense
93/151
We will script the first 15-plays with15 different formations / (motions)
We can tell what formations they
have not had time to prepared for,and then attack them with thoseformations
Because of our stable terminology,we can run the same play out of a
multitude of different formationsgiving us a distinct advantage overour opponents

Shifting (Cont.) 2Shifting (Cont.) 2
We will call a predetermined shift bycalling the formation that we want to shiftfrom first, followed by the formation we
will be shifting to, second. An examplewould be Near, Dallas Right. In thiscase, the term Near would tell theplayers to line up in a Near Left
formation, and then shift to a DallasRight formation when the QB yells Go.

(cont.)(cont.) H post tells the H receiver to run a post route. Because the F did not hear a route called for
him, he will automatically run a Swing route.
Queen tells the line to zone the quick-side
and man the strong-side. This will releasethe back on the quick-side into the patternright away. The remaining back on the strong
side will check release into the pattern.
On blue tells everyone the snap count is on
three. If we wanted to audible to a different play, blue is
the live color since we called the count on blue.

PhilosophyPhilosophy
Teach incrementally rather than solely using aholistic approach. Teach each player individual mechanics and
techniques.
QB Drops, WR Routes, RB Paths and Routes,Line Run block / Pass protections.
Once each player knows exactly what to do, bringgroups together then the entire offensetogether.
This saves a great deal of time down the road and
leads to better execution of the offense. Start with 40 minutes of individual teaching time, whichcan be reduced to 15 minutes as the seasonprogresses.

Practice / InstallationPhilosophyPhilosophy
This is the foundation of this offense. Once each player knows exactly where to be and
what to do based on what he is told in the play-call, the play will be executed as it was intended
every time. Using only the holistic approach (just running playsand coaching on the run) will lead to individualplayer breakdowns, and the offense will never beprecise.
For example, a receiver will run the same route atdifferent depths, or the QB will take different dropsfor the same pass.
This will cut down drastically on the productivity ofthe offense.
