One of the truly great things lately I have been lucky enough to partake in is an online chat among high school (primarily Texas) football coaches. There are so many good coaches with great ideas. I hate that I had to miss last night due to personal obligations, but wanted to post something that followed along that subject line. It's very hard to cover the subject without talking about game planning, and one of the things that became part of our call sheet was the FREEZE package. Here is what the column looks like on the sheet: We will prepare 2 formations typically that will cause the defense to have to make serious decisions on how to defend. The whole idea is that while we want to create conflict in the defense's setup, but as we learn from lawyers - NEVER ASK A QUESTION YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER TO. When intoducing a formation like the one below, we want some definitive responses already programmed. With "11" personnel on the field, the defense cannot make assumptions based on personnel. Then, as the offense aligns, the B deploys, leaving the defense with 3 receivers away from a TE body (H). As the following screen shots show, here is the method for calling: If we get a bubble to the H Back side, we can run a lead draw using half man, half slide protection principles with the H Back inserting. If we get a 3 technique to that side, we can call this: Calling the QB power can of course make the defense account for a GAP run, but also gives the center an easier block back on a shade. Naturally, the B can be sent in motion to incorporate an "inverted veer" read, if that is part of the offense. In the passing game, 3 passes are prepared: The screen can serve as a simple, effective call vs. a blitz - with no negative consequences if the blitz is a bluff. In this hypothetical situation, the other 2 pass categories we are preparing for are man and zone. Vs. Man, there is the possibility of a great pattern above, with the added dimension of the backside IN. Crucial in defeating man coverage (especially good man coverage) is attacking with longer route stems, making the defender turn his hips. As Michael Irvin showed the world, deep ins and deep outs are the bane of man coverage.
