SUNSET OFFENSIVE Philosophy
Spread the field. Stretch the defense horizontally and
vertically.Neutralize any size/strength advantages the defense may
have.Take what the defense gives us. Have as many plays as possible
with Run/Pass option.Shotgun formation. Better vision for QB and
greater ability to throw quick.Expand and constrict with
formations.OFFENSIVE POSITIONSOffensive Line: Open running lanes
for ball carriers and protect the QB when attempting to
throw.Quarterback: Responsible for starting the offense (snap
count). Must read defense to determine if play call going to be
successful. Running Back: The primary ball carrier on run plays.
Also involved in protecting the QB on pass plays. Can also become a
5th receiver in some situations.Wide Receiver: Primary
responsibility (their perspective) is to receive the ball from the
QB. Ideally they are equal parts blocker on the perimeter. NO
BLOCK, NO ROCKTight End: Hybrid Half offensive lineman, half
receiver. Offensive formations - FLEX
Offensive formations - Trio
Offensive formations 2 BACKS
SUNSET DEFENSIVE philosophy
Play Disciplined, Play Physical, Run!Players know and execute
their assignment every snap.Play harder and tougher as the game
wears on.Play fast and pursue to the ball relentlessly.Each
defender in every defensive call has a defined assignment. The
strength of the defense lies in the consistent execution of that
assignment by each defender on every play. DEFENSIVE
POSITIONSDEFENSIVE LINE: The first line of defense in stopping the
other teams running attack. Align closest to the ball. Also
responsible for rushing the Qb on pass plays. LINEBACKERS: Often
times the players that make a majority of the teams tackles. Must
be capable of taking on bigger offensive lineman and have the
ability to play pass coverage vs. faster receivers and running
backs. DEFENSIVE BACKS: Primary responsibility is defending the
pass. The last line of defense vs. both the run and the pass. Must
cover receivers, tight ends and running backs and be physical
tacklers in defense of the run. DEFENSIVE ALLIGNMENT: 3-4-4
