Offensive Philosophy
Our team will be focused, determined, and hard
working.
• We will
not take hits, but we will gladly give them!
• We will
not be passive, but highly aggressive!
• We will
not back down from a challenge, but we will step up to any
challenge!
• We will
not accept laziness, but we will practice and play with
diligence!
• We will
not complain if things go wrong, but we will pull together
and get ourselves over, under, around, or through any
obstacle that stands in our way!
• We can
and We will!
Together We Will Succeed!
Domination and winning doesn’t just happen by chance.
Winning is habit. One of the greatest college football
coaches ever, Joe Paterno (Penn St.) said “The will to win
is important, but the will to prepare is vital”.
Preparation precedes Performance.
Winning is a culture, a way of life, a daily discipline.
Not a Friday night thing...but a daily routine of giving
all you have to be the
best you can be. We don’t want you to be just better than
the next guy, or just better than what this town has to
offer, not even
better than anyone in the area...we want you to be the best
athlete you can possibly be.
• We need
players who will sacrifice (that means it won’t be
easy)!
•
We need
players who will give all they have (and then give
more)!
•
We need
players who will never give up (especially when it gets
tough)!
•
We need
players who have "A Commitment to Excellence!"
Philosophy
Our offensive philosophy is simple...Whip the man in front
of you...and then go looking for more!
Statistics show that at the high school level, 90 % of
teams that win out rush their opponent. This means that our
goal must be to rush the football effectively and
consistently.
The perfect offense is one that gains 3.5 yards per
attempt. If this occurs, then a first down is achieved
every three plays. If you will think and work for “3 yards”
every play, then the big plays will happen.
Our motto for the offense is to “Drive for Five”!
Football Values
Hard
Work
When you
get tired, we as coaches will make you do more. We will not
let you stop. That’s not fair to you or the team. We will
push you harder and farther than you think you can go...and
you must be prepared to keep going. Don’t look for a way
out. Look for a way in. You can do it!
Discipline
Be on
time. Be prepared. Don’t talk back. Yes, Sir. No, Sir. What
else can I do? Control your tongue. Control your attitude.
Sprint to and from stations. Pay attention. Don’t talk when
coaches are talking. Always be at practice. Always. If
you’re late, or you miss, you ask the coaches what you need
to do. Take care of your classes. Take care of your family.
Avoid bad situations and the wrong kind of people. If you
see other players doing the wrong things, put a stop to it
and handle it in a mature way. This is your team and your
season. You get out of it what you put in. Do extra. Go
above and beyond. Be where you’re supposed to be when
you’re supposed to be there. Do what you’re supposed to do
when you’re supposed to do it and how you’re supposed to do
it.
Enthusiasm
Nothing
great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. Excitement.
Anticipation. It all comes down to who wants it the
most...everyday. Have fun. Clap. Cheer for your teammates.
Make it fun.
System
We are a multiple I Formation Offense. The system is
simple, but can become complex without understanding the
rules and terminology. The running game is based upon a
system using key words to trigger certain blocking schemes
or plays.
Huddle
The huddle is 7 yards from the line of scrimmage.
The QB is the coach on the field. There is no talking in the huddle except for the QB. No griping, complaining, or badmouthing ever. You will be brought out of the game for this. You do your job, and everyone else will do their job.
The huddle alignment is situated as following:
TB.FB
X...........Z
LT..........RT
LB..........RG
C...........X
QB
Ball
The
formation and play are called once. The count is called
twice. *When the Quarterback says “Heads,” all eyes are on
him, and all talking stops.
Example: “HEADS” Pro Right Dive Right on one, on one READY
BREAK! •
Team
sprints to the line is ready to go before the QB ever
starts the cadence.
ON FIRST SOUND........GO
ON ONE.......................DOWN – SET – GO!
ON THREE...................DOWN – SET – GO– GO– GO
Study the offense. Know it forwards, backwards, inside, and
out. Your ability to master this offense could make or
break your playing time!

May-Day Offense
This is our no huddle offense. We will use it as a hurry up
offense. We will also use it as a way to keep it our
opponent from making substitutions and changing up their
defense.
• At the
end of a play the quarterback checks with the coaches on
the sideline for a formation hand signal.
• The QB
yells the formation
• Then the
QB yells out the play and hand signals to backs and
receivers.
• The ball
is snapped on first sound after audible.
