I've known Josh since 2008, and one thing that has always struck me about him is his depth in teaching, and thorough thought in regard to attacking pass defenses. In just a few days, you will become privy to a complete study in getting receivers open vs. all coverage techniques - without the prerequisite of 4.4 speed or a 6'5 frame. This is one of the the best examinations of offensive football I have seen, and am excited to show you this preview:
More than any time in history, technology is here to aid coaches in their efforts to give their players the best tools possible. Through coaching message boards, social media, and various video exchange mediums, coaches are able to get instant, in depth information to supplement any aspect of their schemes. No longer are coaches trapped by geography in order to study football. With Coaches Edge Technologies, we are able to go deeper into teaching, and a prime example is the work of Lassiter HS Offensive Coordinator Josh Herring.

Sunday's dismantling of the Colts at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys was a surprise, not because of the Cowboys Offense scoring points, but because of the inability of the Colts to match. Indy came into the game boasting on of the better offenses in pro football, and are led by a fantastic QB. So what happened? In my opinion, the Colts' loss of T.Y. Hilton created a domino effect that they simply could not recover from. Perhaps one of the game's great big play threats, his injury exposed a painful truth about the Colts: they were no longer the formidable vertical passing team they had shown to be without him. With Reggie Wayne clearly on the decline and Hakeem Nicks unable to pick up the slack, the Colts were over-matched. This got me to thinking of the similarities of the plight of the NFL roster and that of most high schools. At many prominent college programs, the loss of a skill talent can often be replaced with another highly recruited athlete (the Ohio State/ USC/ Florida States of the world can replace one high school All American with another). Not so in the NFL or in most high school situations. At the high school, the loss of a prominent player can be tough, but does it have to be crippling? An offense should be DESIGNED to account for all occasions. Many systems that rely on rote memorization of pass routes (ex. giving random names to patterns, with each person being responsible to memorize their individual part) would be hard-pressed to take the second best WR and slide him into number one's spot in game. To simply "get through a game" isn't good enough -- what if it's the playoffs? The system that has been developed and explained starting in RECODED AND RELOADED, and followed by my Part 1 and Part 2 of my 4-part iBook series on DEVELOPING AN OFFENSIVE SYSTEM takes these factors into account, and addresses them better than any system I have seen. Here is an short excerpt from the beginning of Part 1, along with the ROUGH video (sound and capturing was enhanced for the final product, but you get the gist) that is embedded in the work: Moving the STAR player. The simplest way to create explosive plays is simply to get the ball to the best players. An advantage to the setup of this system is the ease with which a coach can move a player throughout a formation. Even in most concept-based systems, in which pass patterns are called with singular words, the given player is asked to carry a heavier learning burden. For even the most astute player, combining this burden with the need to play both ways along with the physical demands of competition can prove to be too much to ask. Overcoming injury. Closely related to the previous situation, the ability to adapt to injury will define a team’s destiny. With the common practice in today’s spread environment being the delineation of inside vs. outside receivers, an injury to a great player can leave an offense in a lurch. Because of the standardization of the route tree and the definition of the three “bedrock” routes in the offense, the ability to adjust to injury is greatly aided. Injuries in football are INDEED part of the game; it thus becomes a responsibility of the coach to have contingencies for this, not only on the call sheet each and every game (to be discussed in parts 3 and 4 of the iBook series), but in the overall design of the offense as well.
Part 2 of my iBook Series is now active, at a special introductory price for 1 week. It contains over 2 hours of video coaching presentations embedded, plus new interactive features. For details, please visit HERE.
Apple should release by early next week! This is PART 2 of the four part series. If you haven't seen Part 1, find it HERE I'm excited to say that all the project pieces are done, and it is now in its final stages. The hope is that it will be available by the week of Christmas.
There is TONS of content - over 2 hours of video! In fact, Apple might make me split it into two iBooks, as there is a maximum size they allow. Coaches Edge Technologies will work with them to come to a solution, but I am assured that the release date will not be delayed. More to come... |
