On the first cut up that O line executed perfection. So beautiful. That combo on the right. Its always was a pain trying to zone block away from a 3 tech. Gr8 job

I am a varsity RB coach at the high school level. Our running game is subpar, and so is the passing game. Our OC is constantly ripping into the RBs if they dare leave the Center Line before reaching the back of the O-Linemen. In your video clip, the RB almost immediately tracks to the open field. My OC wants the jump cuts at the line before deviating off the center line with the belief the two LBs in the middle will close down on the center. I am a “see green and go” believer! Just get frustrated when on a 24 yard gain by my RB, I get lectured that he left the Center Line! I want to stay on my OCs same page, and I know his philosophy will work on a piece of paper with Xs and Os, but a football field is a fast moving dynamic with players moving and plays not always going to plan.

Okay, this video on the bucket step and j step for the backfield changed my life lol. I focused so much on the OL and neglected this very important aspect. Awesome video.

Thanks
Very sound explanation of basic footwork, mesh point, that is necessary between Qb and running back when executing the spread offense.

[pascallebon]

Good explanation, I am a French coach and it is very difficult to have techniques analyzed in this way. Thank you

[tadhgfitzsimons]

Hey coach, what do you mean by a "bucket step" for the QB? Thanks for the great video!

[sjackson]

Thanks coach! Very clear and easy to pass on to others. Do you have any tips or pointers regarding the actual exchange (or no exchage) of the ball between the RB and QB? Does the RB not really squeeze the ball until he passes the QBs play side leg? Or are there any communication signals between them that will determine who gets the ball?

[dennismurphy]

Do you have any footwork videos for 1 back power or 1 back GT Counter?

[elvevenphotography]

Awesome! What video software are you using to draw on the screen?

[jimfisk]

Hey coach like your stuff, do you have the RB start his steps on the snap or wait until the ball get to the QB?

Thoughts on running this with 13u 8th graders?

[sfowler]

Could I get away with QB @ 4 yds at the middle school level?

Less talking more action, you don't have a warming video voice, too many humns and hanhs kills the learning...
