What do some of you offensive coordinators look for during a game when play-calling?

We look for the guy we can't block or threaten with a pass route. Where is he...and what is he doing?

What determines if you can/can't block the guy? i.e., how many chances do you give your guy to see if he can make the block? Maybe he just whiffed the first time or wins a block/lose a block type of deal? |

Who made the play? How do we punish him for making the play? Repeat.
Similarly, how do I get the ball in my best players hands? For us it’s Buck Sweep, Tackle Trap, or Quick Pitch. We have other ways of getting him the ball, but those are the best executed.
Lastly, what do we run well? We a dynamite at Tackle Trap this year, I run it way more than any other year, almost without regard for what the D is doing. Hey

You can't block certain defenders (1 defender on QB runs, 2 on non-QB runs). Assuming a play is executed properly, as long as the aforementioned defenders don't get to the ball, the offense wins the play. If they do make it to the ball, find out where they came from and attack there. |

Maybe he just whiffed the first time or wins a block/lose a block type of deal? Simply put, the maximum number of blockers the offense can get out in front of the runner is 10. Defense has 11 tacklers. Defenses will use that guy in different ways. Some defenses just have him flopping around in a deep unthreatened zone protecting nothing. Other defenses use him as a Robber, or as a frontal player, or as a blitzer. Some defenses play M2M and he isn't threatened by a receiver, others double cover a single receiver with him. Look for that guy...find out where he is and what he's doing. Then have an offensive plan to attack the defense while keeping him as far away from the play as possible. |

We look at who made the play (making the tackle or adjusting the runner's path right into someone else) and what he did to do that.
We have charted all possibilities that can threaten our play per position and how we can attack those reactions.
There are multiple responses for multiple reactions, based on who we want to get the ball and which plays we know work better for some reason.

joris85Sounds like an if-then sheet but more multiple and specific. Question: How do you guys keep track of all that? Do you write it on a 3x5 card type of thing?

Yes, very specific if-then.
We all have an assigned defensive positiongroup to look at.
Say that for a potential defensive reaction we have 3 options to attack that specific response, playcaller decides which one to go with.
We have an A4 (legal pad for you Americans) per play, inside veer being the most extensive (by far)
It's grouped by position, then by their reaction and then possible responses.
While it seems cumbersome, it's quite easy to follow, almost like a troubleshooting flowchart.

I should add that I should rephrase: 1 page is for ISV, all the others are on the next page.

At a basic level I note down which plays are working, i.e. which plays are getting me 3-4 yards plus. If they work, they get a tick every time they are run; if they don't work, they get a cross. I do a quick count of the ticks/crosses at the end of each drive to see what we're having success with.

I look and see if my film analysis was right. Is their "worst" player on film their "worst" player in real time. Do I have an advantage physically anywhere that I missed on film and can see in real time. Are they playing the same coverages that I've prepared for. Are they more aggressive than they've shown. Does the flow of the game need to change from my calling, do I need to slow it down some to help the defense get a break, or do I need to keep the pedal down. Honestly, it can change from game to game.
