Here is a video of David Yost offensive coordinator at Missouri explaining how they use the bubble and now screen as part of their run game. Contrary to what some coaches believe there is a read on the play as Coach Yost explains with reading the middle backer and his alignment during the play.
Many more coaches are implementing the screen game as part of their offense. It puts pressure on the defense because they get a run read but then the ball is passed out to a receiver. Coaches I suggest you take a look at using these screens as part of your run game from the spread as it will...

The Reason Why I Love to Coach
Here is a clip from the Boys of Fall documentary that ESPN did. It is segments talking about the role of coaches in the lives of the boys we coach and teach. I have said it before, you need to think about why you coach. Why do you want to be out there? Is for yourself or is it for the boys??

Coaching at Sunset High
Well since moving back to Portland Oregon I have found another school I will be coaching at. Tomorrow morning I will start helping the Sunset Apollos, my old high school. I have often wondered what it would be like to come back to my old high school and help with the program and now I will get the chance.
I will be working with the O line again as well as the Tight End, running scout team, and handling the Hudl system for the school. I am excited for this opportunity. Sunset isn't the same type of place like Timpview, but it will be a great chance to learn how to rebuild...

Funny to Think About Now
So one advantage to moving back has been the ability to watch some classic football games. Here are a couple things that stood out to me this past week that really kind of made me chuckle about the offense side of the ball.
I was able to watch the 2005 Fiesta Bowl between Utah and Pitt on ESPN Classic. It was near the end of the game when Brent Musberger asked his co-announcer Gary Danielson if Urban Meyer was going to have trouble running his spread offense in the SEC? Well Gary of course replied that he thought so because of the speed of the linebackers and d-line. ...

Moved Back to Oregon
Well I recently resigned as assistant Offensive Line Coach at Timpview and moved back to Portland Oregon. I decided that I needed a change in my career outside of football and to take some classes while here. It wasn't the easiest decision to make as I knew I would miss the kids and working with the coaching staff. I have learned so much from Coach Wong and the other coaches I am really indebted to them. I am thankful that Coach Wong took a chance on me 5 years ago to hire me on his staff. I hope I can continue learning and remember what he and the others have taught...

Pass Protection When You Go Five Wide
After my last post about the passing game from 5 wide, I was asked to talk a little about what we did for pass protection using the five wide set. One of the difficult situations when passing from empty is that you will only have five blockers and a defense that can bring six pass rushers while locking up man to man. So what can you do as an offense to provide protection without giving up big sacks?
This last season I had my line step to protect inside gap to outside gap first. The...

Example of Passing Game in Empty
Even though we are a team that doesn't necessarily do empty all the time I have found that I like going empty and wanted to talk more about some plays you can run from the empty set. In my previous post I talked a little about the run game from empty. Today I would like to talk about using the passing game from empty. A great advantage of this type of offensive set is that it puts the defense in a real bind by spreading them out allowing more one on one situations. Because...

Run Game Out of the Empty Set
I really do like going empty on the offensive side of the ball and find that it puts the defense into a bind on what they have to do. While spreading the defense out, this formation also allows you the opportunity to still have a run game out of empty.
Jet Sweep
A great play that is commonly used is the Jet Sweep by teams. You bring the slot back in motion and at the snap as he is going full speed is given the ball by the QB or if you are really good, he can read the backside D...

Need to Take More Chances
This is something that I need to get better at in my own life. Taking risks can be so scary and I tend to be cautious. Ironic huh? Here I am having coached football for the last 5 years and I am afraid to take chances in my life. Another irony to all this is that I got the opportunity to coach at Timpview due to taking a shot in the dark.
So why I haven't I taken more chances with regards to my coaching career? It isn't because I'm not extremely confident in my ability to coach. In fact I dare say I could probably go to a program and be able to make...

Importance of Coaching Staff Unity
I wanted to talk today a little bit about the importance of staff unity. For the past few months I have been speaking with a friend who is coaching at the college level. As a GA my friend has a great chance to learn and has been giving their all for the program.
Well this past season has been very tough on my friend as a new assistant came in. This new assistant had been a college head coach and knew a lot of technique. My friend was initially excited but over the last few months the situation has deteriorated and become increasingly frustrating. I won't go into...
