Spread Intro3 in 1What – Why - HowAlignment and POASpread SeriesHow to Start2 Concepts – 1 TechniqueSpread Teaching and LearningSimple – Sound - Start
Like it says – We want to Spread the Defense Horizontal and Vertical Stretch STRIVE FOR BALANCE
Bobby Bowden – “Inside, you gotta beat 10 guys to score; outside, you just have to beat 1”
1. Spread-Stretch them by Alignment2. Spread-Stretch them with Run3. Spread-Stretch them with Pass4. Spread-Stretch them with Screen
Multiple in Look –Yet simple in approach 3 Ways to attack defense with 1 Scheme
Multiple Spread -3 ways to block each 1 Outside run (stretch-OZ / sweep / Buck sweep) Inside run (power / blast / dive-IZ) Pass (quick / sprint / pro drop back) PAP (quick / waggle / sprint draw) Screen (quick / slow / read)
WHAT – use multiple sets-alignments (3x1)*think - match ups / flexibility / perception / fun
“its all about people – put them in a position for success”
WHY 3 ways to achieve 1?1. Numbers – Angles – Field Principles (Core)2. Blocking – figure out what you do best (Core)3. Simple – Pick 2 concepts (Core)
HOW – Lets take a look
Ace RightJ and Y (Away-back) B–Z–X (Toward-front)
Odd #’s – Left Even #’s - Right
*Note - 2 different hole #’s for outside attack

9 – Jet Series 8 – Pro Pistol 7 – Sprint Pass 6 – Read (Bback aligns away from play side) 5 – 5 step drop back 4 – Veer Option 3 – 3 step drop back 2 – Half Back Run 1 – Full Back Run (fback aligns away)
How to Start Teaching? (Triple AAA)1. Alignment (proper spacing)2. Assignment (proper technique)3. Action (proper team take-off)
“good start, chance for a good finish”
FIRST Teaching – Start with most critical1. Install various sets-alignments (focus teaching)2. Install Silent Sneak – “NANU” (tight reach tech)
*No Audible – Now Under (s0, get set)Lets take a look

M SW
C#1 C#1$#2F#2
Tight Sift to Sam
Ace Left – “Nanu Nanu”
Ace Left – “Iowa State” 2
Qb – punch snap with arms
not body (no leaning forward)
Let Oline get surge and read
Center block for 3 way out
Oline – tight reach to
middle (1-2 dive block)
*TTO - get off the ball
Backs * Recs – too easy!
Get set – stay set
– BE A STATUE -
Notice Oline First Steps –
All “Tight” to Middle with
inside foot first (Great TTO)
*Backs – Recs STATUES
Qb punch snap – then GO
“It’s either sweep or blast”
Concept #1 – SWEEP1. Outside run (9-0 far / 7-8 wide and buckeye)2. Outside pass (sprint – 70 series and bubble)
Concept #2 – BLAST1. Inside run (3-4 blast “big to back”)2. Inside pass (half slide pro – 30 and 50 series)
Install 1 BLOCKING technique running 3 PLAYS Stretch Defense to Start (Run’em)*Still always Start with Critical (Qb sneak) in teaching of sets-alignment and team take-off
“Minimize techniques and Maximize their use”
Ace Right (left) – Stretch by alignment1. Jet Stretch Run (90 Series) Stretch blocking2. Sprint Pass (70 Series) Stretch-Slide blocking3. Fast Screen (Bubble Series) Stretch blocking
Lets take a look
Ace Right – 90

C $#2FC#1
Oline – 3 step bucket
*stretch reach to far gap
PST or Y –Secure edge!!!
Do Not let DEnd cross face
*1 step bucket if covered
*Jet Signals
J = Mo Man pats
his chest
Zrec = points @
Qb – jet stretch mesh and
Hoff using 2 step shuffle and
arms follow back (pause)
then pivot drop step to sprint
pass fake away
Bback – align toward and
see-block support defender
*Bongo technique – if no
backer blitz (soft) then help
PST on Dend
Notice Oline First Steps –
PST “Bucket” to Right
PST secures edge
*Recs 12 block
Bback blocks force out-in
Ace Right – 70

M S-Mr0W
C $#2FC#1
Oline – 1 step bucket
*sweep & slide to far gap
PST – Secure edge!!!
Do Not let DEnd cross face
BST – hinge back to close
back door after reach tech
Bback – align toward and get
to LOS (hip of PST) checking
outside-in for edge blitz
*no blitz help secure edge
with PST (Bongo technique)
Playside Routes -
#1 Xrec – whip in
@ 4 yds-pivot & out
#2 Zrec – 3 step
speed corner
*get overtop CB
Backside Routes -
#4 Yrec – under
(backers) route to
open grass
#5 Jrec – over
(backers) to deep
middle
Qb – open toward with 1st step
@ 6 O”clock – then baby steps
downhill @ recs
*Read - flood concept over-
under-in, focusing on CB to Sam
to FS (run if all covered)
Notice Right Guard Steps –
PSG “Bucket” to Right –
then shuffle + slide play side
Tri Left Flex – “Gogo Lion 3”

looking out-in
Must have defense

Outside Leverage
Oline – (Strecth Reach)
Excute 3 step bucket
technique same as jet
stretch run
*PST must secure edge
Qb – execute shuffle and
throw (get ball to rec NOW)
*ball must be thrown on
LOS (downhill = pass)
@ chin of rec (100% goal)
Recs – 12 block rule
#1 (Jrec) stalk #1 DB
#2 (Xrec) stalk MrO to #2
Defender (12 rule – never go
past unblocked backer)
Bubble Rec – execute
shuffle steps – catch and go
for sideline till taken away
Backside Recs –
fake bubble
concept away
Run - “It’s either a sweep or a blast”
1. Outside run – Sweep 3 in 12. Inside run – Blast 3 in 1 Pass - “sprint or half-slide”
1. Horizontal Stretch – Floods 3 in 12. Vertical Stretch - 4 Verts “all starts with 4 verts”
Delay - “fast – quick – slow – read”
1. Screens – 3 in 1 Oline blocking scheme2. Draws - 3 in 1 Reads
*You pick which best for your players-staff-YOU!
TEACH SIMPLE1. Spread and Stretch Defense2. Use 1 Blocking Concept with Multiple Looks3. Get Everyone Touches (Strive for Balance)
TEACH SOUND1. Critical (Qb Sneak)2. Beat Blitz (3 ways) run away-into-over*jet stretch away / sprint pass into / screen over
Get it – Got it – Good Lets Get STARTED
