New A-11 Playoff Footage - Thanks Tog & CoachHuey! Dec 30, 2007 11:56:13 GMT -6

Coaches:

Again our sincere Thanks to Tog and CoachHuey for uploading Piedmont's A-11 Playoff Footage vs. Las Lomas! Great work!

This video is not crystal clear, BUT it is MUCH, MUCH better than the first one. Las Lomas is a powerhouse in our area and almost twice our enrollment (Piedmont 860 Coed & Las Lomas 1,580 Coed, both Public Schools).

Las Lomas won the East Bay Title with a 13 - 0 record, then lost to NorCal Div. II State Bowl Rep. Novato.

In this video, Las Lomas was the better team and deserved to win, but Piedmont did play very well and gave them a great game. With 7 minutes to go in the game, it was 35 - 21 Las Lomas.

Please Enjoy and Piedmont's A-11 is in WHITE Jerseys:

One thing I have noticed when watching the film is that you guys take ENTIRELY to long to snap the ball. This takes away the big advantage that you guys are trying to gain by exploiting the rule. I would think your offense would benefit from the scatter mentioned in the other thread, OR having some system where everyone would align in a "kickoff" like formation, off the LOS. On a command, they all shift into their formation as quickly as possible, and the snap occurs 1 second after they set. (Much like the tempo of the Notre Dame Box)

Secondly, I noticed your defense plays an extremely high game of football. Just an observation, but might be something to reflect on as HC. How can i ensure my defense plays a physical and low brand of defense when my offense is exotic. I know when I was coaching at the D1AA level, we as a staff were constantly arguing that our offense (4-5 wide run and shoot) put our defense at a disadvantage because of technique and recruiting issues. Bill walsh addressed this concern in his book.

Thanks for more video coach! Definitely enjoyable to watch. Suprisingly, the play I enjoyed the most was 2:20, which was actually LL and their little screen.

I've heard you say numerous times that you guys were unsuccessful based upon personnel.
Are you sure that you weren't unsuccessful because of defensive play, not players?

1. At about the 2/3 point in the season we began using the No - Huddle offense often, and averaged getting the football snapped within 12 seconds of the Ref. spotting the ball, etc.

Our goal next season will be to get the football snapped within 10 seconds of the Official spotting the ball.

2. As for our Defense in this Playoff game, it has been either the # 1 or # 2 ranked Defense in our league with the least points allowed the past two seasons - against some very good RB's.

But, vs. Las Lomas we were overly depleted with 4 key starters not suited up to play and out with injuries on Defense and it makes things tougher as you know against a great team like that.

That should cover it and yes I also liked LL jailbreak screen.

Sincerely,

coach bryan

to clarify, I wasn't referring to the tempo with which you played (how quickly after the spot) but rather how long your players were aligned prior to the snap. My point being, the defense can tell that the guy 14 yards from the sideline is ineligible for a long time.

As for your defense, I don't care where they were ranked. The video shows them playing HIGH. And I asked if you think that could have anything to do with your offensive philosophy, and gave you an anecdotal example from my personal experience.

However, I now realize you can't publicly concede such a thing, as it might hinder sales.

To the Coaches who want to talk about Piedmont's DEFENSE:

I took as much time as I can afford on this particular Thread which is about trading ideas in the A-11 Offense, and not to discuss anything regarding the Defense at all.

If you want to share your expertise with our staff regarding Your Defensive ideas, please PM me and I will put You in touch with our Excellent Def. Coordinator...but please do not waste anymore time on THIS THREAD about our Defense.

Thank you for understanding,

And I also answered the question about "How Long our Players were aligned or Near the L.O.S. Prior to the snap.

It was an excellent first year using this system. And, I am sharing what we developed because we want to do so, and we want to learn from our peers...just like we have always done."

Please keep THIS THREAD to Offensive ideas only.

Thanks,

Kurt

Coaches:

We have received a fair amount of Inquiries about HOW we Move the Pocket when We Roll Out. So, here is our Basic Roll Out Package and from that many different styles stem from:

Below is Simply our BASE set, vs. a 4-1 # 2 Look:

................FS........................................................$..........................

C.....................W....................M........................S...........................C
....................................E.....T.....T....E..............................................

X...................................R...U..C...Y.......................E.....................Z
..........A.............................................................................B..........
...................................................2................................................
...............................................1....................................................

For an A-11 Roll Out to the Right (we call it an 18, which means the # 1 Back Rolls Out towards the 8 Hole, etc.)

Sample Play Call: "Base Stagger 18 Mix"

Assingments:

X............Run Route
A............Run Route
R............Shift Down at Last Second and Hinge Backside Pass Pro
U............18 Pass Pro....reach, etc.
C............18 Pass Pro....reach, etc.
Y.............18 Pass Pro....reach, etc.
E............."HUNT Block" means Crack the playside DE on 18, and Clean up any Leaks.
B.............Run Route
Z.............Run Route
#2...........is Staggered Up, then he "Sets the Point" & tries to Log the playside DE
#1..........Attack outside, but if the DE goes too wide, then Stretch the Pocket and Step Up - go through your reads and/or run
