We have a 10 play script that we follow(i don't like it but i'm not the OC so it really doesn't matter what i think). What does everyone else use? Do you run these plays with a purpose or are these just openers that you think will work? we run them just b/c we think they will work, and this last week we only ran 6 of those plays more than once. plus, there was less than a min. left in the 1st qt. before we got off of the script.

I have an opening script of 10 sometimes 15. I NEVER run them in order, but I have them there because I want to see what the defense will do to certain looks. The script them sets up how you attack the rest of the game.

We have a 20 play ready list whhich we start down like a script except for 2nd and short, 3rd and long etc. It's composed of plays which we think we'll work and there are certain defensive reactions we're looking for as we run those plays.

yeah we run a script of 15/20 plays as well. Different formations, stuff that we think will work vs that defensive alignment. We will put a lot of different stuff in..fly, playaction, base runs, base passes..out of diff alignments and see what works..what doesn't. We go off script in sitiuational stuff. 3rd and inches..etc. Once you see what works..you can kinda go from there. Some defenses just don't adjust well to alignments.

I try to script 10 - 12. I have an objective for each. I normally put a gadget play we've practice during the week within the first 8 plays.
I want to hit them with a gadget before they use theirs. We've scored or had big plays over 50% of the time.
The 10 to 12 we script will give us an idea of how well we've game planned. Allows us to double check their alignments / coverages.
When scripting, we try to work the script to break some of the tendencies we've established the past few games
- Maybe we've ran a specific play to the wideside out of a certain set on certain down/distance -
- In the script we'll run the same set and run a different action out of it on a similar down / distance -
scripting gives your offense a sense of peace - "we know what we are going to do the first 10" - If we see something glaring that we can attack - we will go off script. If we get into a tough down/distance situation, we'll go off script and then try to get back on .

Funny, I take ribbing for this all the time. I ALWAYS script the first 10 plays, and NEVER follow it. Usually, after the first play, I deviate from the script either based on the situation or something I saw in the defensive alignment. I'll come back to the script a few times in the first series or two, so it usually ends up that I'll call about 8 of those 10 scripted plays in the first 15-20.

I call the plays for our JV and I sound like spartancoach. I come up with two choices for the first play of the game depending on hash and field position. I choose the play, run the other option for the second play of the game. That is my script ;D

Coach: Here's my take on scripting openers: "Know what you want to accomplish. I often script my first 9 plays so that I set the Spread side of the formation to the wide field three times, set the Bunch to field three times, and run from between the hashmarks three times, once each with motion to Bunch, motion to Spread, and no motion. "Why? I want to see defensive reactions to each of those situations. Bill Walsh scripted in even greater detail than that, because he wanted to establish the following things: - reaction to formations & motion
- probe with base offense - which side of the defense is easiest to run on?
- set up play action and counters
- run your special(s)
- establish sequence for play series
- pre-plan second half openers"

I script seven to start off. Why seven? I don't have the foggiest. Maybe because it is a prime number- LOL. My first play will be one of two things- a trick play or a counter to our play that was most successful from last week.
My next six plays all have a distinct purpose. I will attack a field flank and a short flank with motion to see how the team defends motion. I will also attack the middle of the field or off tackle behind motion depending on how the dual responsibility defender played the flank attack. I want at least one pass play, as well as our money play from last week.
Although usually by play three, I have a tendency to go off the script and call plays according to what the defense is doing, but I try to always come back to my script.

I script 6 to start the game. I usually skip around those 6. In fact, last week I didn't run a single one of those plays. I changed it right after the kickoff. My game day plan is more important when it comes to situations. I like to have some ready and prepared. To be honest, I never really look at my plan until a series is over and then I just make some notes. Most of my play calling is just off the cuff. I think I continue to have a script, just so I can remember to call those plays to look at the defense. Only one time did I get through the entire script. I used to script 10 plays. We ran all 10 in a row and scored a TD on the 10th one. Now why, I don't follow my script....  ? |

I find that I script the first 10 plays and in my head I'd like to follow the script although last week play #1 went for a 74 yard touchdown that it also became plays #3 and #7. I also put down 5 plays to run on 1st and 10 from the Lt Hash, Middle, and Rt Hash, as well as 5 plays for 2nd and 5, but found I really don't use these because I've already got it in my head what I need to call. The reason I like scripting is so I can at least visualize how the first 10 plays will go.

Not that there aren't other good suggestions, but as usual, everyone needs to listen to Ted on this one. |

One of the biggest things I have learned this year about calling offense is field/boundary attack.
Against a balanced set, I can't tell you how many times teams call their strength to the field.
Since we are base 2x2 gun, we see this a lot, and our script starts out probing the holes to the Field and the Boundary. (as well as pre/post motion reactions and secondary alignments-----those three are probably what we look at the most)
Perhaps this is why my DC in college flips his front based on a Field/Boundary call..........that type of defense makes more and more sense to me.
