I've never taken this approach, but in putting together my offensive playbook this year I'm thinking I might taylor-make it to certain types of defenses; ie, if we play a team running 3-5 we can go to that part of the book for play reference, and so on for other defenses. My thought is to list plays according to defense to be faced and have them drawn up accordingly. I'm thinking I can cut my prep time during each week of the season and just pull out a set and go. I really don't use the playbook that much during the seaon, but sometimes the kids need a refresher. Obviously, the core of the offense isn't going to change; the idea is that it will help me in game planning by having plays drawn up that we will tend to use that week against that defense. Good use of time, or too much busy work? Thoughts? If you have done this, I'd like to hear how you've organized it.

why not just have all of your plays drawn up against all of the different fronts you see. That way instead of having the same play in the playbook in 3 different spots, all 3 versions are in the same spot.

I vote for too much busy work. You don't know how the defense is going to align until right before the snap. RULES, RULES, RULES...with a visual representation as to how those rules are applied in a variety of situations.

coachd5805 is absolutley correct. When rules and communication are in play the kids will never be confused. They just make calls and go.

Coach,
We have a playbook built somewhat like that. We have a few plays that are zone based and can run against any defense that we see based on rules. But against an even front or odd front we have a few select plays that are used only against each. Very similar to how much of the passing game goes in against the coverage you will see.
