When you guys script your openers are you scripting just first down plays or does an opener script include plays for first down, second down, and then third down is done off a down and distance script? For example if you have a opener script of 10 plays, is that your first 10 first down plays, or your first 10 first and second down plays?

Typically when someone scripts openers they aren't for down and distance. After there openers they then might use their down and distance scripted plays. Some coaches will run through all 10 (or whatever number they script) regardless of any down or distance. Some will work through the list but may insert a play for a particular situation and then usually come back to the next play in the list of openers. I do the latter. If is 3rd and 1 and I need a yard, I might not run say a draw or something if I don't like that play in that situation. So I would run a play that I like for that situation and then come back to my next play in my openers. I'm sure it varies a lot, but when you talk about "openers" you aren't usually talking about down and distance, you are talking about a set number of plays to open the game.

The reason for us scripting plays was to see how the defense was going to react to different formations, motions and plays. The plays weren't for down and distance and we would skip around the script sometimes depending on the situation. I also thought it was positive for the QB to know what first few plays he was going to run a few days before Friday.

I have tried to script plays, but I have found that after play four or series one, whichever comes first, I am off my script. I have been more comfortable with scripting situations in practice and then practicing according to the scripted situation, then when I am in the game I call the script for the situation.

I think it helps everyone (not just the QB) have some extra confidence at the begining of the game. |

Aznando I agree with this completely... i feel like you should have some scripted plays to begin the game with to see how the defense is going to react to your different formations and motion calls. and then go off of that to get your basic idea of what you will be running the rest of the game out of those sets. |
