Whitehall Football Offensive Philosophy

Offensive Emphasis

• 1. Strong Inside Running Game
• 2. Few Plays/Variety of Formations
• 3. Attack Entire Field

take what the defense gives us.

The Spread Offense Basic Concepts
What is a spread offense?

• Formation with 3-4 players spread out away from
  the tackle box area
• QB either under center, or in the shotgun

4
Why the Spread?

• Puts ball in hands of athletes in space
• Minimal looks for OL and QB
• Creates simpler looks in running game
• Recruiting easier to get smaller, athletic kids
  as opposed to big, strong kids
• Decision-making in hands of players
• Fatigues defense
• FUN!!!

Explosive Opportunities in Running Game

Necessary Components

• Attitude Must be aggressive and physical
• Must force defense to cover-down
• Force defense to defend entire field
• Multiplicity. Defense must see many looks
• Tempo. We must control it
• Must have plan to defeat the blitz

7

• Defense leaving receiver uncovered. Must either
  throw uncovered or the Bubble Screen,
  otherwise they can overload us with 7 in the box.

8

• All receivers covered down, and FS in deep
  middle. 6 in the box means we can run or throw.

9

• All receivers covered down, and 2 safeties
  playing deep halves. Only 5 in the box, meaning
  we should run the ball.

10

• No FS in deep middle, indicating blitz. We only
  have 6 to block 7, meaning QB must check the
  protection or check to a blitz-beater and throw
  quick.

Shotgun Offense

• Same runs and passes as last year.
• Allows us more option opportunities with
  athletic QB

No-Huddle Offense

• Allows us to dictate tempo
• Storm, Thunder, Lightning
• Forces vanilla defense
• Defense reacting to us, rather than vice-versa
• Fatigues defense, especially those with two-way
  players
• Eliminates need to condition at practice
