One of the great things about the DW is that our offensive philosophy doesn't change in the red zone. We don't have to do anything different in practice because we are going to do what we do regardless of where we are on the field.

What do you guys do in practice to work on redzone offense? Coach: Others have given you good answers to your specific question; however, I think it's also important, for planning purposes, to keep in mind what changes when you get down close to the goal line, and why it changes. Homer Smith has written in some detail about offensive changes in the red zone: "In what is called the red zone, defenses change according to the distance of the line-of-scrimmage from the end line. The red zone is a zone of changing pressures by the defense. It is a zone of changing needs by the offense, a zone where distances to the end line must be considered along with distances to the first down line." He also has some pretty strong opinions on what kind of plays work best close to the goal line: - As the defense has less and less depth to defend, the offense must have more and more lateral faking and running.
- As the length of the field can be used less and less, the width of the field must be used more and more.
- As pass routes get to the end line faster, the quarterbackâs delivery of the ball must be sooner.
- As less field means higher field goal percentages, it also means more full-pressure defenses and more plays that discourage full-pressure defenses.
- As less field means more concentrated pass coverage, the more costly it is to give the coverage one-for-one trades, the more costly it is to let one defender take one receiver out of the game.
Keeping these factors in mind will help you choose a red zone offense; this, in turn, will play a big part in the way you design your situational practices for red zone offense. See? I was answering your question all along. ;D  ;D |

Ted's list was a very good primer of why things work (or don't work) in the red zone - goal line. Unless you can just line up and run OVER people, strategy and tactics are important. As a Fly Sweep team, we want to force people to defend the perimeter at all times which allows us the luxury of attacking he box if they spread their D to thin. Faking and play action are crucial in our offense and as such, are even more important (and effective) in the red zone.
