Coach Jacksons Fly / Spread OffenseCoach Mark Jackson

My Football Coaching PrayerFather God,I come before you in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Father lead and guide me as I coach. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. And if I put God first, the desires of my heart will be given to me. I speak blessings and favor for this football team because I am a child of God by the blood of the lamb. Father, use me to impact lives in a positive Godly manner as I coach today. Let my actions speak for me Father, and let my tongue be used in a manner that will glorify you. I pray for the coaching staff and players. Let us remain injury free and let everything that is done be pleasing to you. You are my source and my strength and let me not forget who I am in you. Let me walk in a way that is worthy of my calling. I will walk victoriously both on and off the field because you are my strength. We pray these things in the mighty name of Jesus.Amen

Pass Game

90 ProtectionThe next protection that we will discuss is quick game or 90 protection series. The 90 protection series is to be used with the quick throw portion of the offense. The slide protection is also used for play action passes. The 90 protection series is slide left (Liz) if the B back is on the right and slide right (Rip) if the B back is on the left. In our slide protection, the line will protect the gap to the called slide side and the running back will block the DE left by slide protection. The rules are simple:Lineman will zone block the gap to the call. If slide left, the lineman will protect the gap to their immediate left. The B back will block the C gap or last player on the end of the line. The edge player. If two players come off the edge, the back will work inside out.

Rip and Liz Protection

60 / 80 ProtectionThe final protection I will discuss is our half-roll or sprint-out protection. The ability to move the pocket or adjust launch points for the QB gives you another weapon to attack the defense as well as slow down the rush. Here are the rules for the protection: Backside Tackle: Turn and HingeBackside Guard: Turn and HingeCenter: If covered or shade to call side, reach. If uncovered with no shade to call side, turn and hinge. (Note, on turn and hinges, unless you make immediate contact begin to get depth to stay between the QB and your man. You do not want to be still on the LOS as the DE comes up field)Play side Guard: Reach, plug hole/backsidePlay side Tackle: Reach (Note: On any reach block, if you are unable to reach, ride your man out to the sideline. Don't get beat outside trying to hopeless reach. A man pushed out of bounds and kept on the LOS is just as effective.) RB: Take two steps to call side, looking at outside rusher. Look for OLB or outside rusher to come shooting, block first color that shows. If none show, check middle and then backside. You are QBs bodyguard. Step to rush; do not wait for him to get to the QB.

60 / 80 ProtectionPre-snap look is key. QB will go at a 45-degree angle to a depth of 5-6 yards and then will level off. He will need to get his eyes up, and look downfield. He can continue moving parallel to the LOS, but he must know when he must stop and step up in the pocket and deliver the ball. If he breaks contain he can continue out, he does not have a set place he has to be, but he must be smart. This is a protection reliant on the QB. He must help his blockers by not getting into trouble, thinking he can outrun everyone, and he must have a good sense of timing and be well practiced.

60 / 80 Protection

General Passing NotesQB progressions are achieved through reading passing lanes. The QB will simple look to his first progression, and if the lane to deliver the ball is clear, he will throw the football. If not, he will move on to the next read. If the progressions do not produce anopen receiver, then the QB will have the choice of tucking it and running or throwing the ball away. It is very important in the spread that the QB does not take sacks number one and throw interceptions number two. Throwing the ball away and living to play another down is an acceptable option. The receivers will operate under the rule sprint vs. man and sit vs. zone. It is the receivers responsibility to get open. When sitting in the hole, the receiver should make eye contact with the QB. The receivers must be coached to number one recognize various defenses and number two to escape man-to-man coverage.

Primary RoutesAll receivers will line up with the inside foot up. Hands should be up in a sprinters stance; weight should be over the toes. Knees should be slightly bent. Eyes should be looking in at the ball to know when it is snapped. Slots will have the inside foot back. The Slant:Push vertical to 4 yards, then aim to 12 yards on the hash. Settle in Window vs Zone. Expect the ball immediately.The Arrow:On the first step take a 45 degree angle step to the outside, crossover, look over the outside shoulder and expect the football. Gain 5 yards of depth. When you catch the ball tuck it and get up field.The Hitch:4 hard steps up field, on the last step take on big step and then two small steps working your way back to the ball. You should end up at around 6 yards

Primary RoutesVertical:Get up field now!! Try to sprint past the defender. Release will depend on landmark you are attempting to fill. The fade is the same as the Go route except that the release is on the outside and that you fade slowly to the sideline as you work up field.BashRoute working across field over the linebackers and then turning up the seam to get to vertical landmark, 2 yards outside the hash.Climb Route: Route working across field and gaining depth. You are to work over the linebackers shooting for a depth of 18 to 22 yards. The Speed In: Used instead of Hitch vs Squat 2 in Smash Concept. Push hard for 4 Yards and then Plant outside foot and run quick square in.

Primary RoutesUnder: Release to the inside and sprint across the field under the LBs. Look for the ball at any time. Do not gain more than 2-4 yards of depth. Over: The over is the same as the under except you go over the LBs and gain depth as you cross the field. On the over you should gain about 8-10 yards of depth. Run at the heels of the LBs Curl: Run same pattern as Slant as except push up field for 6 rather than 4 yards. Work back toward hash aiming for a distance of 12 yards. Once you find a hole in the zone, sit and work your way back to 10 yards. WheelSame route as arrow, but once you dont get the quick throw, accelerate and run up sideline.

Primary RoutesThe Smash:Take 7 steps up field, on the seventh step plant hard (stick) on the outside foot take a hard step to the inside as if running a post, then plant and sprint to the corner pylon at a 45 degree angle. Look for the ball over your outside shoulder. Hunt: Run by Y in shallow cross scheme. Push with an inside release to 10-12 yards. At that point, find a hole to the zone or stay on the move vs Man back to the inside.

Vertical ConceptThe biggest coaching point from a scheme standpoint is teaching landmarks. We break the field down into four sections: left numbers, left hash, right hash and right numbers. We want our four receivers to be at these landmarks as the routes are being run. A general rule for all receivers is to outside release all routes both in man coverageand zone coverage.After the receivers get their outside release, each of them will get to their respective landmarks.If they read man coverage, we encourage them to get up field as fast as they possibly can on their landmark and expect the ball. If they read zone coverage, they now have the option to sit in zones as they seefit

Vertical ConceptWe would like for them to be at least 10 yards up field before they sit down. A lot of times it ends up being 15 yards because of the depth of the defenders drop. A key coaching point to install in all of your receivers minds is to look for the ball at all times and to sit in the hole in zone coverage.One key coaching point we focus on at this point is for the skill players to get back to the top of the numbers by squeezing the defender after working the outside release. This leaves plenty of room to separate from the pinned defender and catch the ball on the outside shoulder.

If he makes a correct presnap read the lane will be open. If for any reason the lane is not open reverse out and boot away from play side and read backside SmashThrow needs to be made in 1.9 seconds, unless bootA good variation of the play is the Hitch and Go. On the hitch and go the outside receiver throttles down like he is running hitch, as soon as the Cornerback bites on the play he would run a go look for the ball over the top. The right side receiver and slot will run a smash concept. The slot will take an inside release and then break it off at 5 yards and run a corner route. The receiver will take an inside crack release and then pivot out. If man work away from defender, if zone sit in hole in zone.
