Slide Philosophy<br />
1<br />
• The <strong>Spread</strong> <strong>Offense</strong> is designed to take advantage of your best <strong>at</strong>hletes in open<br />
space. Even if they are undersized and not overly quick, you can still cre<strong>at</strong>e<br />
favorable m<strong>at</strong>ch-ups. With discipline, positioning and knowledge a coach can<br />
utilize a player’s talents and fe<strong>at</strong>ure players by doing a mixture of things.<br />
• This offense is based on the thoughts of spreading the field by using spread<br />
form<strong>at</strong>ions and shotgun. This makes the defense cover the entire field and brings a<br />
pass first mentality from them. For these reasons the <strong>Spread</strong> <strong>Offense</strong> is an<br />
effective way to run the football<br />
• It is one of the best ways to fe<strong>at</strong>ure an <strong>at</strong>hletic quarterback who can run the<br />
football. Because the defense is forced to cover the field, both horizontally and<br />
vertically, your quarterback does not need gre<strong>at</strong> arm strength to be effective.<br />
• Most of the throws involved in the <strong>Spread</strong> <strong>Offense</strong> are quick, simple throws and<br />
employ a simple read progression. This elimin<strong>at</strong>es a large amount of the complex<br />
decision making.
Slide Philosophy<br />
2<br />
1. You must commit to throw to uncovered receivers every time. The bubble concept<br />
and play action bubble are gre<strong>at</strong> ways to do this. You must do wh<strong>at</strong>ever it takes to<br />
make the linebackers play head up on your slots receivers. Don’t allow the<br />
linebackers to be double edge players.<br />
2. The line must take reasonable splits and be in a line but off the ball as far as the rules<br />
allow.<br />
3. You must work on the blitz everyday. You must have answers for the blitz, i.e.<br />
Screens, Q Receiver, Quick Game, etc.<br />
4. You must throw screens 7-10 times game. Within these plays you must have multiple<br />
screens and plays working off screen actions.<br />
5. Throw the ball short to your playmakers, understanding 50% of the yardage comes<br />
after the c<strong>at</strong>ch.<br />
6. Keep run game and protections schemes simple for the Linemen, so they have more<br />
time to work on fundamentals.
Slide Philosophy<br />

7. Quarterbacks must be drilled to never pass up an open receiver hoping something<br />
else may come open.<br />
8. You must be willing to move the pocket, <strong>with</strong> a semi roll package or sprint out. This<br />
changes rush lanes and gives the QB a new launching point, while allowing you to use<br />
a 6 man protection<br />
9. Run game must be simple but vers<strong>at</strong>ile enough to <strong>at</strong>tack both inside and outside.<br />
You must have simple schemes th<strong>at</strong> can be run from multiple form<strong>at</strong>ions.<br />
10. As the defense becomes more complex, you must become simpler in your schemes.<br />
Don’t over coach the QB <strong>with</strong> ‘wh<strong>at</strong> ifs’.<br />
11. Work on the shotgun snaps every day before and after practice. As well in the offseason.<br />
This should be a focal point of the Center’s off season program.<br />
12. Receivers must be taught to find open area while developing eye contact <strong>with</strong> the<br />
Quarterback. They must understand sandboxes on the field, and not to play in<br />
sandboxes of other receivers.
Slide Philosophy<br />

13. Everyone should be aware th<strong>at</strong> “big” fumbles often occur <strong>at</strong> the end of “big” plays.<br />
As a result, ball carriers must protect the ball when they’re f<strong>at</strong>igued and tackled.<br />
14. You must finish a pass rusher when the defender gets into trouble. Bury him!<br />
15. Receivers should run their pass routes decisively, as practiced. Disciplined depth and<br />
position are vital. All routes in the game must be exactly as practiced
Slide 5 Basics<br />
Lineman<br />
1. Alignment- should be off the LOS as far as rules allow.<br />
2. Take reasonable big splits. Widens the defensive front and increases the distance to the QB.<br />
3. Tackles stay up on the LOS. Don’t bow the line. It gives the DE a two way go. Make him go wide<br />
Slots<br />
1. Alignment so th<strong>at</strong> the defender is forced to play run or pass but not both.<br />
2. Know wh<strong>at</strong> WR is running and align so you can help<br />
WR’s<br />
1. See the ball snapped <strong>with</strong> the inside foot forward.<br />
2. Align so you have room to work the sideline.<br />
3. Know the Slots assignments so you can work together.<br />
4. Don’t over split so QB can’t get you the ball.<br />
QB’s<br />
RB<br />
Align 4 ½ yards deep<br />
Align 5 yards deep, splitting the inside leg of the tackle
Offensive Slide 7 Objectives<br />
1. ATTACK: We will play a fast break, up-tempo <strong>at</strong>tack. We will force each<br />
opponent to react and adjust to our offense.<br />
2. GATA: We will “GET AFTER THEIR ASS!” This is the cornerstone<br />
principle of Pl<strong>at</strong>teville Football.<br />
3. ELIMINATION OF SIW’s (Self Inflicted Wounds) : It’s tough enough to<br />
be<strong>at</strong> your opponent. TURNOVER RATIO is the number one factor in<br />
winning and losing college football games.<br />
4. SCORE: The object of our offense is to score. We will score first, fast, and<br />
we will finish the fourth quarter. We will maximize the Red Zone and we<br />
will take advantage of every turnover th<strong>at</strong> our defense cre<strong>at</strong>es by scoring<br />
points.<br />
5. TEAM: Foremost, we must become a true team. On and off the field, we<br />
act as one, united as a whole group, where together we can accomplish<br />
gre<strong>at</strong>ness.

Dynamic Slide & 9 Fully-Dimensional<br />
“To To win, you must do wh<strong>at</strong> everybody else does better than they do,<br />
OR do something different than they do.” do.<br />
Our style of play:<br />
• Is a cohesive, aggressive system rooted in multiplicity,<br />
yet built and learned simply.<br />
• Cre<strong>at</strong>es MATCHUPS for both run and pass, allowing<br />
our <strong>at</strong>hletes to shine and our units to maintain the posture of<br />
ATTACK.<br />
• Is a complete toolbox th<strong>at</strong> allows our program to take advantage of<br />
all types and combin<strong>at</strong>ions of talent from year to year<br />
<strong>with</strong>out making wholesale changes.<br />
• Is distinctive, exciting, cre<strong>at</strong>es problems and conflict for opponents, opponents,<br />
yet is rooted in fundamentals, discipline, and execution.
Slide 10 Attitude<br />
• Out hit our opponent!<br />
A.M.F.<br />
• Play <strong>with</strong> poise through the good and the bad.<br />
• Score one more point than our opponent.
Slide <strong>Spread</strong> 11 the Field<br />
Use Form<strong>at</strong>ions and Motions<br />
• Forces the defense to declare their coverage<br />
and blitzes.<br />
• Cre<strong>at</strong>es Mism<strong>at</strong>ches<br />
• Helps the run game (5 to 6 simple plays).
Slide 12 Multiplicity<br />
Different Looks for the Defense<br />
• D-Line – Basic Run Game, 3 to 4 Protections,<br />
Screens. Must upset tempo of DL<br />
• Secondary – Different Form<strong>at</strong>ions, Motions,<br />
Routes.<br />
• Linebackers – Run Game, Play Action,<br />
Screens, Drop-back.
Slide Uncovered 13 Principle<br />
Make Them Cover You Up<br />
• Alignment, Motion, and Shifts.<br />
• Quick Game.<br />
• Screen Game.<br />
• **This forces defensive adjustments th<strong>at</strong> help in protection<br />
and in running game.
