New Defense/Offense

We are moving from the fly offense. We ran a lot of veer, speed, and midline out of it. Honestly, I loved it. We ground chucked it all over people. Unfortunately, we moved the ball well between from 20 to 20, but had difficulty putting the ball into the endzone against teams that loaded the box. Throw it then, right? Well, we couldn't do that very well. This year, we are moving to the spread. We will still be running a lot of option out of it because our QB is a true dual-threat.

Defensively, we are moving from a 4-4 to a 4-3. I will be playing a lot of 4-3 under as well as the Miami 4-3.

What about you? Any changes?

We are moving to 4-3. I hate it. nothing against the 4-3 we just dont have the personnel to run it. I am afraid we are going to get the ball run down our throats.

Same defense, new offense.

We'll be using a double wing look, but only one TE, regular splits, 3 yd FB depth. Running rocket motion frequently with Rocket sweep, trap, counter, inside veer, and some standard double wing plays.

Pretty excited about it, but I would rather be running Jet instead of Rocket and less of the double wing stuff (I like the Double wing, just not for our kids, we're quick but small and not so strong).

Going from a 3-5-3 to a 4-3 Cover 2.

We can do a lot of different things with it and it is better than what they had before (just blitzing the whole time)

CoachCB...last season, we ran the fly and I absolutely loved it. We were split back and ran a lot of speed away from fly motion and some veer and midline as well. We even ran some fly out of spread. Awesome stuff. We couldn't pass though!

Going from flexbone/fly to SBV/Fly.

After Tuesday's defensive session (we're in 2-a-days, MWF offense, T Th defense) we looked at the guys we had starting and made the decision to drop our 3-3 stack and go back to our 5-2 with the DE's wide and coming hard. Last year we installed the 3-3 and it was a great "fit" for that group of kids, but with graduation, and 4 returning starters choosing to not re-enroll (we are a private school) it is plain to us that the 5-2 is going to be better. Did the basics today - our 5 seniors played this as sophomores - and it was pretty good. We've had 4 good practices but so far this has been a crazy season!

We had one horse last year ( now at Oregon ) and Midline was our base play. Now we have several backs all same ability. Also, I think we understand triple better now. Had a visit from Carson Newman this spring.

Not a big change but we are going from a singleback with 2 tight ends (one off the line), to more of a classic bunch offense with Y flexed out with Z.

It was just a question of personnel, late in the season we got a new receiver in training that was simply far better then our Y at tight end. As soon as we called a few successful bunch plays, I realised that our current tight end just wasn't effective at the position... he was more of a half good blocker, and a half good receiver, so I figured he should play tight end.

We will also be running a bit more of the spread type passing game with shallows and meshes as opposed to the standard 3 step drop stuff we did last year.

PS What is a MIAMI 4-3?

going from a wing t/shotgun spread mix to a pistol on offense. It has been pretty interesting so far. We'll see in a few weeks.

Same D as last year

wow. when the entire country is going to opposite way you are. you guys have



I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with it, just an observation. Good work coach.

From I to Wing T. Can't wait until we finally get the ten yards, in the first 25 seconds, that we never got the entire season, last year. Goodbye I!

First scrimmage, three tds to the weakside on sweeps (w/stud) and forty yard dive plays, beat them w/ base plays only! Calande, Seay, and Coach Dave deserve the credit for being geniuses, period. Wing-t with studs at every position and 16 kids. We had nine last week and won scrimmage with only nine. 7 more joined this week. Can't wait until game day. *rings hands* can't wait to crush!
