One Back Clinic Notes
Below I have copied and pasted my notes form last weekend’s trip down to the One Back Clinic.
Overall it was a great experience with some great speakers and I highly recommend attending next year.
RPO, streak, air raid vertical – Timmy Chang
Streak vs 6 call
Streak is an RnS backside concept
Get vertical if they’re not backing off
He squats get deep. If we can’t get deep we hook it
If safety gets outside of us, widen him back inside (post)
Wr has to SET the defender
SET means foot, head, shoulder at defenders leverage then go other way
QB starts the throwing motion on the WRs set… so he isn’t waiting
Outside WR read corner
If he hitches work back down own stem
Vs cover 2 has to attack aiming 2 yards outside the corners leverage
Uses quick game concept frontside (smash, fade out)
Reading safety alignment to know coverage
Depth… at or under 10 its cover 0
Width… outside hash cover 2, on hash probably 4
Back shoulder fade coaching point
DB in dominant position, throw the ball at the back of his head, he will never see it
AIR RAID 6 call
Simplicity and spacing
Lock one seam, one can bend
Outsides have option to sit down if corner is bailing
RPO
RSO/RPO
Run screen option now and bubble screens
Run pass option
If you block BS DE you can throw the ball RPO
If you leave BSDE unblocked, can only RSO or you’re gonna get QB drilled
RSO screen frontside
RPO backside , reading OLB
Slants is simple, common use backside
June Jones- stretching the field vertically
Divide 1 high
2 high divide
“Special” tag
-Slots switch routes
-Streak and switch
Switch
Vs man rub into Will for H
X and H can sit down any time they’re open
Hal Mumme – how to be an expert at mesh
Have to be good at 4 verticals or get defense backing up THEN crossers/mesh can open up
X/Y mesh
1step drop
Y sets the mesh at 6
X goes under Y
After they mesh they read what they see underneath to hook up or keep running
Z is the focus and first read. QB signals him one of 3 options, goal is to throw it to Z right away on rhythm
RB check swing is second option
If he doesn’t have either Hitch up then see the mesh
Against man (blitz) meshes climb as soon as they mesh
Work mesh drill with 4 Qbs
One throws to each route
Mushers read coaches for zone (sit) or man (turn it upfield)
Only drill they do every single day, 5 minutes a day every day
Adjustments
Trips
Same routes
Same in bunch
GL version 2 back with nasty split and condensed Z
Y always runs man version so QB has a place to get rid of the ball, back corner of end zone
Another look makes it look like zone read with motion
Wheel variation: same play, get H on wheel: exact same read progression
Double wheel
Version vs cover 2 they called blazer
Not a good base way. Great play to split safeties but takes a long time
Noel Mazzone – tight zone Pin n Pull with RPO options
He has 3 run plays
-Tight zone
-Wide zone
-Pin n pull
Football is all numbers and leverage
In run and pass it is get more numbers or out leverage defenders
Lock backside on and have QB read LB… 6th defender
When they see 6 in the box it means they’re getting man so they don’t do key screens or hitches they run man beater routes
-Slants and swing
-Or rub slant
This has replaced/become their quick game
-OL blocking 4 down to will
-QB has the Mike
“Sniper”
-Add 6th blocker
Pin n pull rules:
- Guy in backside gap PIN HIM
- If not, PULL
Have terms for OL to not fly downfield, meaning 3rd level RPO
