ADVICE

Always Create An Advantage

  • Give yourself an advantage by always calling plays that create numbers, leverage, or space against the defense.
  • Use a simple base package (inside, off-tackle, outside, counter, play-action) and live in what you do best until they stop it.
ADVICE

Run Your Base Relentlessly

  • Pick one base play and run it until the opponent adjusts, then exploit their adjustment with counter concepts.
  • Stack complementary plays so their ways to stop one play open another (toss, counter, play-action).
ADVICE

Package Formations, Not Random Tricks

  • Separate formation from play and package formations with multiple plays and tags pre-planned on the call sheet.
  • Use shifts and motions to move keys and create small, repeatable advantages rather than random misdirection.
