Is there a perfect Offensive Playbook for your Football Team? Probably, but it might not be for the reasons you think. Following up on last week's show on choosing the perfect defense, this week we're working on finding the right offensive playbook for your football team. It's a little different. I'll walk you through eight different offensive playbooks that might fit your team. It's not an exhaustive list by any means, but a good enough look for you to get a good idea on how to figure out which one is right for you. At the end of the day, none of these offensive systems are better or worse. Every single one of them can and has won championships. But there's one that's right for you as a coach. Find it, and then STICK TO IT!

I can end your search for the Holy Grail of defense right now. It doesn't exist. But there is definitely a right defense for you to latch onto and become the expert at. This episode is going to help you choose the best football defense for you and your football team. Then help you stick to it.

In today's episode I'll break down when you should use the formation, how to make it a part of your offense, and we'll put together a basic playbook for the I-Formation.
