This video is part of a series done by Coaches Choice. The series contains many videos ranging from lecture to on field examples. This particular video explains what passing schemes can you run the spread offense, and how you call these plays.
The first portion of the video the speaker explains the system he uses to call his spread offensive plays. This is just a series of numbers that all relate to different passing types. These types include Mesh, Vertical, Smash, Screen, Flat/Curl, and Stick. He uses odd and even numbers to show what side the play is running to, and also uses east/west for play 0 and 9.
His plays are called using a three digit number and possibly and east/west afterwards if the play type deems it necessary. For example the play call could be 980 west, the three numbers explain the blocking scheme, the formation, and the passing routes. The 9 stands for standard drop blocking scheme. The 8 stands for a double tight formation. The 0 stands for mesh, and the west gives direction for the play.
He then goes into an explanation of the mesh play. The positives are that it gives the quarterback shorter route options, which are more high percentage passes. Also the use of rub routes makes it difficult to defend man to man, and also difficult to keep track of all receivers. This play also gives many options to the quarterback in the middle and flat areas of the field which tend to be good places to attack defenses.
This video does a great job of simplifying the spread offense passing scheme into easy to remember play names and types. Then the video shows how utilize the mesh play and shows why it is successful. This was also done in an simplified form, which helps to show why it is successful. I agree with the play calling system this coach uses, and would be all for implementing this play calling system into our footballs offense next year.
