Adjustment Series - The Red Zone Sep 13, 2021

Show notes

Hopefully your team is finding success in the Red Zone. It can make a huge difference in any game. The red zone requires some thoughts and adjustments on both sides of the ball. For the offense, vertical space is decreasing and causes them to adjust their route concepts. They look for formations and routes that help them get free of tight coverage. In the run game they look to add hats especially as a defense commits more to the run. The defense must adjust and stay out of situations where the offense is picking off defenders and getting a receiver wide open. The defense needs to be able to react quickly and commit to stopping the run. Both sides of the call must have a plan and execute if they want to win on this part of the field. Today we share adjustments for each side of the ball in the Red Zone. Offense: -QB run with Swing Screen -Swing Screen action adjustment vs OLB causing issues -Empty with multiple quicks/hots -Using Zone run/pass pro vs. pressure -Play action Defense: -Alignment to not get picked -Adjusting coverage in the red zone -Using bracket vs. condensed splits Resources from this episode on CoachTube: Tim Zetts - Red Zone Perimeter Concepts: Joe Conlin - Attacking the Blitz with Inside Zone: https://bit.ly/2XenbOg Joe Moorehead - Red Zone RPOs: https://bit.ly/2WIjUXu Marvin Clecidor - Red Zone Coverage Variations: https://bit.ly/3A7o2Pn Chris Partridge - 3rd Down and Red Zone Bracket: https://bit.ly/3iTitgl

Week 3 Adjustments - Plan And Prepare For Contingencies Sep 06, 2021

Show notes

Bill Walsh was one of the best ever in handling the “What Ifs” before they happened. Rather than reacting on the fly, Walsh and his staff had the answers planned and prepared for when something might cause them to have to adjust. With the last 18 months of a pandemic forcing us into plenty of what-if scenarios, coaches certainly have an understanding of how to approach contingency planning. That certainly does extend onto the field, and having those plans in place as well. On this episode we discuss contingency plans for: -Replacing an injured QB -Building packages for contingencies -Defensive personnel adjustment -Playing against the wildcat package -Getting the next punter, kicker, snapper, holder meaningful work -Special teams rare situations -Planning for contingencies as a staff
