1. Spread Intro
3 in 1
What –Why - How
Alignment and POA
Spread Series
How to Start
2 Concepts – 1Technique
SpreadTeaching and Learning
Simple – Sound - Start
2. Like it says – We want to Spread the Defense
Horizontal andVertical Stretch
STRIVE FOR BALANCE
Bobby Bowden – “Inside, you gotta beat 10 guys to
score; outside, you just have to beat 1”
1. Spread-Stretch them by Alignment
2. Spread-Stretch them with Run
3. Spread-Stretch them with Pass
4. Spread-Stretch them with Screen
3. Multiple in Look –Yet simple in approach
3 Ways to attack defense with 1 Scheme
Multiple Spread -3 ways to block each 1
Outside run (stretch-OZ / sweep / Buck sweep)
Inside run (power / blast / dive-IZ)
Pass (quick / sprint / pro drop back)
PAP (quick / waggle / sprint draw)
Screen (quick / slow / read)
4. WHAT – use multiple sets-alignments (3x1)
*think - match ups / flexibility / perception / fun
“its all about people – put them in a position for success”
WHY 3 ways to achieve 1?
1. Numbers – Angles – Field Principles (Core)
2. Blocking – figure out what you do best (Core)
3. Simple – Pick 2 concepts (Core)
HOW – Lets take a look
5. Ace Right
J andY (Away-back) B–Z–X (Toward-front)
Odd #’s – Left Even #’s - Right
*Note - 2 different hole #’s for outside attack

6. 9 – Jet Series
8 – Pro Pistol
7 – Sprint Pass
6 – Read (Bback aligns away from play side)
5 – 5 step drop back
4 – Veer Option
3 – 3 step drop back
2 – Half Back Run
1 – Full Back Run (fback aligns away)
7. How to StartTeaching? (Triple AAA)
1. Alignment (proper spacing)
2. Assignment (proper technique)
3. Action (proper team take-off)
“good start, chance for a good finish”
FIRSTTeaching – Start with most critical
1. Install various sets-alignments (focus teaching)
2. Install Silent Sneak – “NANU” (tight reach tech)
*No Audible – Now Under (s0, get set)
Lets take a look
8. T ENE
M SW
C#1 C#1
$#2F#2
Tight Sift to Sam
Ace Left – “Nanu Nanu”
Ace Left – “Iowa State” 2
Qb – punch snap with arms
not body (no leaning forward)
Let Oline get surge and read
Center block for 3 way out
Oline – tight reach to
middle (1-2 dive block)
*TTO - get off the ball
Backs * Recs – too easy!
Get set – stay set
– BE A STATUE -
9. Notice Oline First Steps –
All “Tight” to Middle with
inside foot first (Great TTO)
*Backs – Recs STATUES
Qb punch snap – then GO
10. “It’s either sweep or blast”
Concept #1 – SWEEP
1. Outside run (9-0 far / 7-8 wide and buckeye)
2. Outside pass (sprint – 70 series and bubble)
Concept #2 – BLAST
1. Inside run (3-4 blast “big to back”)
2. Inside pass (half slide pro – 30 and 50 series)
11. Install 1 BLOCKING technique running 3 PLAYS
Stretch Defense to Start (Run’em)
*Still always Start with Critical (Qb sneak) in teaching of sets-alignment and team take-off
“Minimize techniques and Maximize their use”
Ace Right (left) – Stretch by alignment
1. Jet Stretch Run (90 Series) Stretch blocking
2. Sprint Pass (70 Series) Stretch-Slide blocking
3. Fast Screen (Bubble Series) Stretch blocking
Lets take a look

*Jet Signals
J = Mo Man pats
his chest
Zrec = points @
Qb – jet stretch mesh and
Hoff using 2 step shuffle and
arms follow back (pause)
then pivot drop step to sprint
pass fake away
Bback – align toward and
see-block support defender
*Bongo technique – if no
backer blitz (soft) then help
PST on Dend
13. Notice Oline First Steps –
PST “Bucket” to Right
PST secures edge
*Recs 12 block
Bback blocks force out-in
14. Ace Right – 70

Playside Routes -
#1 Xrec – whip in
@ 4 yds-pivot & out
#2 Zrec – 3 step

#5 Jrec – over
(backers) to deep
middle
Qb – open toward with 1st step
@ 6 O”clock – then baby steps
downhill @ recs
*Read - flood concept over-

Delay - “fast – quick – slow – read”
1. Screens – 3 in 1 Oline blocking scheme
2. Draws - 3 in 1 Reads
*You pick which best for your players-staff-YOU!
18. TEACH SIMPLE
1. Spread and Stretch Defense
2. Use 1 Blocking Concept with Multiple Looks
3. Get EveryoneTouches (Strive for Balance)
TEACH SOUND
1. Critical (Qb Sneak)
2. Beat Blitz (3 ways) run away-into-over
*jet stretch away / sprint pass into / screen over
Get it – Got it – Good
