Maintain a Power Run Game From Spread Formations

Spreading the field does not have to mean giving up downhill running. Foothill High School (CA) head coach Bryon Hamilton, the innovator of the Shotgun Zone Fly offense, installs five run concepts that keep a true power run game intact out of spread formations. Each concept is taught with all 11 assignments and fitted against both odd and even fronts, so you can call it without waiting to see what the defense lines up in.

What you'll learn

• The principles behind maximizing a power run game from spread formations
• The responsibilities of all 11 offensive players in each run concept
• Power against both odd and even fronts from a 2x2 formation
• Gap Reads against both odd and even fronts from a 2x2 formation
• 35 Trap Pop against both odd and even fronts from 20 personnel
• 38-39 Pitch against both odd and even fronts from a 2x2 formation
• 36 Stretch against both odd and even fronts from a 2x2 formation

Who it's for

High school and college offensive coordinators and offensive line coaches who run spread formations but do not want to become a finesse run team, plus anyone building a gun-based run menu.
