Great stuff, congrats! Very useful information. One question: 1. Out of the shotgun formation, do you use a tag word for the running back to be on a scpecifc side? or its just implicit on the play call?
I personally never tag that...I have the rule that they "line up to get the job done". That's one of my most commonly used phrases. I want all of my players to take a bit of responsibility for little things like that. Very rarely do you see a mistake in that. I can't remember the last time we had that problem in a game. I do know a lot of coaches tag the RB side though. The positive of tagging is eliminating tendencies (assuming you have footwork options when the RB is both playside, backside, or in pistol). The downside to me is adding an extra word to every play call. You could use a system where it's line up to get the job done and only rarely will you specifically tag a side, but I'd rather just keep it simple and not use it at all. Negatives outweigh the positives for me (doesn't mean it's right though...just what I do).
Hey, great video. I have a question, how does a recuver know if they are the x or z or whatever, like if you call trips rt how do they know if they have to go to the left and be the x or being "part" of the trips on the right, and also if they appen to be (in this case on the right) how do they know if they have to be the 1, the 2 or the 3?
So, you have to have base formations that you operate from. If you start with a 2x2, most teams use...X H QB Y Z... so that would be what most coaches call spread RT. If we said spread left it would look like this...Z Y QB H X... Then you adjust from that base. Now if we want to go Trips RT it would be...X QB H Y Z...And the coach just makes up a rule that "when we're in trips, the H is always the #3". So you basically just need to create your own rules and then apply logic to them with all of the formation tags. If you wanna dive into a crazy rabbit hole of playbook design, I have an entire course that teaches you everything (including this stuff) plus literally every question you likely have on playbooks (+ some you might not have)...all in there. I also give you my entire playbook in the course. Literally giving you the PDFs or the Hudl import key codes. american-football-academy.com/2-day-offensive-playbook There's the link to check it out. There's a video on there that explains how it works.
First time I've seen anyone explain this. Thanks.
