we're really excited to have coach rich early on the podcast coach early was on the carnegie mellon staff running lots of variations of wing t for 29 years prior to that he was 15 years at the high school level seven as a head coach and he had the honor and distinction of actually coaching dan marino as his high school quarterback um there in the in the pittsburgh pennsylvania area coach also spent one year in the usfl for those who coaches out there are still old enough to remember the usfl with the herschel walker signing and doug flutie and all that stuff so coach spent a year there with the with the maulers while at carnegie mellon coach set a lot of records including the school record for most points in a season at 37 points a game and he ranked 10th in the ncaa 2a division iii scoring offense during the carnegie melling playoff run in 2006 the offense finished eighth nationally in rushing with 260 yards a game and they set a school record with over 3 000 yards rushing coach grew up in new jersey as a three sport athlete and we're really honored and pleasure to have him i'm i've kind of got chills uh when i was cutting my teeth as a new head coach way back in 1998 i heard coach speak at a glacier clinic if he's ever on the glacier circuit i make sure i go over and listen to him he's very entertaining and very knowledgeable and he's always very out of the box wing t so you know when you first start off you're under center and you're following tubby raymond's book is the bible then you find guys like like rich early and and and uh the late uh great bruce cobley rest in peace and they really got the wii team community in my opinion thinking out of the box um coach like i said it's just an honor like i said i heard you talking in 1998. um so uh maybe you said 1998 rick i i got socks holded in 1998 glad you yeah me in 1998. i'm still here so uh coach why don't you give us a quick history of of your relationship with glazier how'd that start because i mean you've been on the glazer circuit gosh probably as well as long as i've been coaching yeah well yeah i just uh i started going to glacier clinics i'm going to say i don't know 38 years ago maybe longer i don't know like forever i was going to glaze your clinics and then uh someone heard me speak at another clinic and told bruce cobley about about me and and uh bruce and i became friends and he told frank about me and then that was probably 28 or 29 years ago when i started speaking on the glacier clinics and i haven't missed a year so even last year when we didn't have clinics i did my glazier drive segment for for them and have 22 presentations on the glacier drive and actually i'm doing i'm doing four more right now which is going to be i think really really good for young coaches because it's going to be the the nuts and bolts of individual technique and i've got the wide receiver one done i'm working on a running back one and one i'm really excited about rick and i think you'll agree this one will be terrific i have a uh i'm going to do a a segment on quarterback steps and it will be every step step by step by step for every play that we run so awesome i don't i don't think anyone's ever done that before and uh my former running back coach jeff simmons didn't play quarterback in the wing tee for his grandfather the great chuck closing at kisky prep uh jeff was my demonstrator because i'm too old to demonstrate anymore very well i'm still i can do it but i'm not as good as jeff and so we did it at carnegie mellon and i think it's going to be terrific for young coaches you know they're gonna this will be like a bible for them i think i really do coach yes um i i know mine is not as good as yours but when i made the transition from under center to pistol and i was on the glacier circuit um back then john chris was assigning us the famous comedian now um we were uh people kept asking me about the footwork especially new coaches and you know what was the footwork from under center and how was it different from pistol so i i did one same thing i i was too old to demonstrate i got my son out there he was playing quarterback for me at the time when he was back in high school and and i agree coach just bird dogging those steps because in the wing t whether it's shotgun pistol or or under center the mess points and the timing of that footwork is so precise and when it's really taut right and a coach pays attention to detail to all that quarterback footwork it's really hard to find the ball that video i made with my son is on my website alexiscoaching.com so it sounds like the coaches can have some great resources that they they if they want to see the the legend like you they can go to the glacier drive and see the quarterback video and then i've got the one with my son that's on all accesscoaching.com coach this talk is on rpos right and rpos has kind of taken over the country and and everyone thinks that it's new uh but coach i i already know the answer i can only imagine that you were probably running rpos way before anybody was calling them rpos well you know we've always run belly cheat pass and counter boot and power keep pass and these are all you know technically run or pass options for the quarterback we got the quarterback on the flank and that was such a great part of it you know this is a flank attack the the attack starts at the outside that's where it starts and i always tell people just think about it you know when you look from the tight end out you've got 15 or 20 yards that's the biggest hole on the field you know if you're running trapping you get a one-yard hole boy you're thrilled you know if you get a two-yard hole off tackle you say wow boy we did a great job well it's a flank attack and everything comes off of that we were attacking the flank with the quarterback you know technically i guess it wasn't what they're doing today with the rpos but i started with what they're calling rpos today about 2008 where we started with a a play at the flank and a play at the other flank and depending on what defense we saw it just it all fit in you know if you look at our attack rick it's uh uh we are a jet sweep buck sweep belly slide team with play action passing and a quick passing game one step three step drop in the gun it's one step under center it's three three-step and we also have a one-step game under center but that's who we are that's who we were at carnegie mellon and then you know i started doing this it just made sense to me and people said geez you're running rpos i said what are rpos they said run past options i said yeah i thought we were doing that forever they said no no not the way not the way everybody's doing it now so you know i started with what they're doing now probably about 2007 or eight and it was a it was a big change for me because i've been doing it my way for so many years and now now the quarterback's in charge you know you're you're giving up your autonomy to the quarterback and you you better coach that kid up and you better really have him and he's got to be an unselfish kid i think you know you're doing all this stuff too and and they they really have to understand that the nuts and bolts of the offense well hey coach um i think these coaches are probably tired of looking at our ugly mics especially mine why don't you go and share your screen let's get started coaches this is going to be the rpos and the hybrid wingt offense he'd be featuring both under center and shotgun you guys are in for treat you've got a a lot of wing t experience i think over 45 years of you uh teaching this to you so coach i'm still in the background i'm going to hide my ugly mud and it's all yours okay well we want to talk about the the rpos under center and shotgun and uh you know why rpos well we use it both under center and in the gun but the mesh points remain the same and i think this is so important for example buck sweep is four yards behind the center whether we're in the gun or we're under center that's where the mesh point is going to occur for belly slide it's going to be four yards in the b gap so it's going to be the same now as i alluded to before you must be willing to give up control the quarterback is in charge and again you know when i when i decided to do this i was like 58 or 59 years old and i've been doing it my way for 38 or 39 years i was calling everything and controlling everything and now you gotta you gotta coach this quarterback up because he's in charge you're giving up your autonomy we can take advantage of and possibly dictate defensive alignments and adjustments and i think you'll see what what we can do with that here it can give you a play of both flanks or internal and external play at the same on the same side of the ball now this next point is important and ricky i'd like to just talk about this for a second the quarterback must get the laces on the snap because these are catching throws so this is kind of how i taught the the center to snap the ball if the quarterback is right-handed we turn the laces to the right and you'll see the center's hand is at the top half of the ball if he's left-handed we're going to turn the laces to the left and now as we as we line up to to snap the football you're gonna you're gonna kind of see how he takes his his stance and that would be our stance and we're gonna push the ball back and snap the ball back and it is a dead snap we don't want we don't want him to to flip his hand over at all so i'm doing it here in the gym and you know a quarterback it was me and uh my center is going to start laughing but you see a flat dead snap waist high and i have the laces in my hand every time we're kind of laughing because he's the worst snapper i ever had and he hits me right in the hands every time i said hell i should have put a camera on you i would have had a less object time in my life but i think coach just back up a second some of these coaches um are listening in their car in a podcast they're in the weight room working out and stuff so that you want that ball to be a dead ball snap basically a knuckleball no spin and and you want it to hit his hands the laces are not on his fingertips when he catches the ball but you want the laces yeah now they're going to be in his fingertips absolutely but they're going to be in his in his hand they're going to be in his hand so as he catches the ball he's going to be he's going to have the laces so he could catch it and throw it because that's what this all is it's a catch and throw and then uh i think this is so important and again you know this is on the glacier drive so this is this is all on there and i think this is a main point of all of this if you can't catch and throw you can't run an rpo you know unless you that ball state had that quarterback a bunch of years ago his hands were humongous it didn't matter if he had the laces or not he could still catch and throw it but this is this to me is an important facet of this part of part of our attack because when you're under center and you snap the ball you can make sure that the ball the laces hit the quarter back in the hands when you're under center you can do that but in the in the gun it's not quite so easy if you don't snap it this way you know if you snap in there's a spiral on the ball sometimes you get the laces sometimes you don't get the laces so but to me that is a key to to running this rpo in the gun so then um the the for the for the podcast listeners the uh the the the point you made about the the center with his arms with his wrists and elbow was you were talking about some about the way the quarterback this way the center snaps it yes the uh well he's gonna have his hand on the top of the ball the ball is going to be on the point and then as he pushes it back it's a dead snap you don't you don't want to flip your wrist because if you flip your wrist the ball is going to go end over in we want it to be a dead snap so you know it's just uh i think it's the most efficient way and i i look at so many pro teams are doing it now and a lot of college teams are doing this now i started doing this in about 2004 or five when we were in the gun and actually my running back coach at the time was beau rufner who showed me this technique and beau was a very successful coach at mount pleasant after he left carnegie mellon but uh you know this was a great i think it's the most efficient way to snap the ball so that you you know you're going to get the laces and be able to catch it and throw it coach i feel i feel validated because when we went to the pistol what you described that's exactly how we do our when we went from under centered pistol wing t it's a dead bald knuckle snap we're trying to make the laces land if he's a right-handed quarterback in his right fingers and we always tell our our center don't don't snap your wrist don't snap your elbow just make your arms stiff and just let go around your calves and and knuckleball that thing in so i feel a lot better being validated by by a coach with with your uh with your experience so we do the same thing in our pistol wing team that's great you know i know the high school where i'm at in florida here they're doing it now and i see other schools down here that are coming coming to our school or doing it so it's uh i think again it's the most efficient way to do it now what i'm going to talk about here are gun rpos i'm going to talk about buck sweep twins gun buck sweep and tripp's gun buck sweep they're a little bit different and then twins gun belly slide and then a a a slide bubble go which is not an rpo but it's an answer and these are things i'm also going to give you answers when the defense creates something that causes you a problem now under center rpo is what i call friends formation which is a trips formation and you know it's a trips formation on your center for in in what we're doing here we're not a zone team okay so with a one back set if you were inside zone or outside zone then it's valid but we needed some run plays where we could run the ball while we were in these past more or less passing formations so this is what we've come up with and i'd like to go through all of these and hopefully you know we'll have some fun with it this is twins gun buck sweep bubble now for us it's buck sweep as i said buck sweep is the basis for our attack buck sweep jet sweep belly slide that's that's our runs that's who we were and everything came off of that so this is a typical wing t formation you got two backs in the backfield you got a tight end wing and we have twins out to the left so for us it's buck sweep it's it's something that our kids are taught the first day to come to carnegie mellon okay it's it's going in the first or second day of practice and again on the glacier drive i have all my i have practice plans on there and i explain them and i have game plans and explain how we got to those game plans so i think it's kind of all there for you well here for buck sweep we're going to have the the wing is going to block down on the first free man inside his aim point is for the inside foot of the tight end now our our alignment we're going to be back off the ball as far as we illegally can be with our helmet along the waist of the center we were we're in a two-point stance when we're in the gun we've alternated two-point stance three-point stance we've done both and my last couple of years my line coach and the kids felt more comfortable in a two-point stance i said hey you guys are the ones that have to do it so that that's where they were most comfortable and that's what we did so for us it's just buck sweet for everybody tight end and and right tackle here gap down backer and again i'll have all the rules here for you so on the on the uh yeah i know the podcast people can't see the rules so i'm going to go over them for you but it's tight end gap down backer right tackles gap down backer right guard is going to pull what i call kick out with depth at 135 because he must get around that wing backs down block so he's got to get depth on his first two steps the centers reach area away backside guard's going to pull flat and wall off the left tackle and this is a little bit different than what a lot of people are doing with this a lot of people were still taking their left tackle and either doing a what they call a shut off or a pull check or still going crossfield what we did that's a little bit different and this helped to control the five technique we would pull him towards the bubble and so now he's going to block number two from the sideline does he get him all the time no but if my ball carrier the the receiver catching the pass if he has to uh cut back to the inside he does have that right tackle there as a blocker so just just think about that and what this does it helps to control this five technique because as i pull to the left what does what's he reading that he's reading that as a reach block so this helps to control the area because why you have no full back fill here okay so you know that helps that helps our our control there we tell the split end the man on the line of scrimmage you're going to block who you think is the most dangerous man probably number one from the sideline the tackle's going to try to get number two from the sideline now i want to talk a little bit about the steps of the man catching the bubble because i think this is something that is is undercoached and we're always going to have our inside foot up okay so in this case we're going to have our right foot up and he is going to left foot is back and we're going to take a drop step with our left foot we're going to cross over gaining width with our right foot gaining ground on the next step with our left foot that's a karaoke okay and i i was i coached for 38 years and never knew what the hell karaoke was good for you know crossover crossover crossover kickback crossover what do you do nobody ever crosses over and kicks back in football well we did it here what's this fella has to do your your twin he's got to almost walk out there he can't be running and our aim point for the quarterback is to throw the bubble a yard and a half behind a line of scrimmage it must be caught behind the line of scrimmage why because we have people down field blocking okay so he cannot he cannot be down field catching catching this pass the quarterback the quarterbacks gonna be five yards deep the left half back or full back whoever you have is to dive back next to him he's going to be at four and a half he's going to be slightly ahead of the the quarterback his first step is crossover 90. so left foot crossover 90 coming in front of the quarterback the quarterback has made his decision already for the most part and i'll i'll explain okay he's made his decision based on numbers if he feels that you know the best the best thing for us we have six men in the box here so the best thing would be maybe to run buck sweep then he would just whisper to this fella you that means he's going to hand him the ball so this fella the left half back or full back whoever you have here as your sidecar he can expect to get the hand off if the quarterback feels we have a better chance throwing the bubble he'll just whisper to him me now you can become me if when the ball is snapped something happens this corner bales and he says oh he was in a pressed position but i'm going to snap the corner bale i'm still going to throw the bubble the only person that really knows what's going on is the quarterback okay he's going to make all the decisions and uh if he decided he's gonna hand off he steps up and hands off and he takes two shuffle steps and fetch the bubble and you'll see my quarterback do this and they have to do it all the time you know and i see aaron rodgers doing this he makes a handoff and aaron rodgers is faking the bubble he's doing a great job of faking a downfield pass now if i were still coaching and again i haven't coached in eight years but we we did this 13 or 14 years ago if i were still coaching i would have multiple patterns out here and you'd say how would you call that well again if you go to the glazer drive and you listen to my my talk on our our three-step passing game the three-step passing game we never called a play in the huddle we would just call 90 and the receiver would determine the the pattern once he got out there based on coverage so let's say for example both of these fellas were lined up outside the corner was was off and he was outside and the outside backer was head up on your man or to the outside we would run two slants and my uh receiver would hand signal to the quarterback we would wiggle our inside hand that we're gonna run slam if uh this fella was in a press position we might run a smash with the and they recovered too he would run a smash with the flanker uh the the the twin going over the top to the left so you know i would have multiple uh i wouldn't tag it we would call it at the line based on where the the secondary coverage was hawaiian now we can do this because why my kids are used to doing it okay we've done this for 20 25 years where we've we've made the hand signal uh at the line of scrimmage the inside receiver would run a complimentary pattern and the quarterback was was good with it and then we had a bail we bailed off the back back side off of that so that's again that's all in the glacier drive but we want to take these two shuffle steps if we decided to make the handbook we want to take the two shuffle steps because i want to be reading this strong safety because where where you'll get a headache and i'll teach you i'll show you a play that controls all of this where you'll get a headache is if they take the strong safety and they bring him down because they bring that strong safety down as an extra man in a box you can't account for well now you i'll give you a pass play that accounts for him and you'll kill him on this pass play so you must have others what i call stuff you got to have other options if because they can they can skin you you got to you got to figure the defense is doing good let's look at some plays here now and you'll see this one first one here we get a a real nice deal here and there's no fake to the back the the back does all the faking here they have very poor angles and we end up with a touchdown and again guys these are all running down calls this was a first ten call i would like i'd like to call this first and ten second and five third and three why because no matter which one we would run we were successful we i don't think we were ever unsuccessful throwing the bubble because we practice it the first the first thing every day when we go to with the receivers now here hey coach hey coach remember we've got some we got some podcast listeners that are driving in the car so maybe real quickly just tell them what formation you're in and what you're doing right well we're tight end wing to the right twins to the left and both of these first two plays we did run the buck sweep because we had angles on everyone this particular play i thought we should have thrown the bubble and you'll see us here we have from the back view we ended up with angles on everybody and we ended up going for a touchdown you know we're out there and i'm saying throw the bubble throw the bubble and the quarterback runs buck sweep and i called him over and i said why did you run buck sweep he said coach we had angles on everybody well when i saw the film you know i'd be damned we did have angles on everybody and we he said we had angles everybody and we had two guards to take care of the two other people and so the player was correct and and uh uh you know that was again so so important to have trust in the quarterback but it's buck sweep to one flank the bubble to the other to the other flank that's what we're trying to accomplish this play is not rpo but with your indulgence rick i have to show this because this is how you control the safeties and in college that was the most important thing we had to do was to control the safety because if you let those safeties you know they were real guys they wanted to be linebackers the the coroners don't wear they don't wear knee pads anywhere they let it look like they got bermuda's shorts on out there they don't want to tackle anybody i'm not afraid of a corner tackle unless i'm afraid of that freaking safety coming downhill who's six one two two fifteen two twenty and lightening up my back because we can't we can't block you so to control this safety this is what we would call buck suite throwback and this is why it's so important when we hand off on bucksweep for the quarterback to take the two slide steps because he should be looking straight down the field and seeing what those safeties are doing it shouldn't be a surprise to him if i call this play he should have seen it already so you know and again i think this is true play action pass because we have tight end wing to the right we have twins to the left two backs in the backfield a quarterback and the sidecar this is true play action pass why my tight end and my tackle are blocking down gap down backer they're doing what they do on buck sweep my right guard is pulling at 135 and going to kick out that's what he does on buck sweep the uh half back or full back whoever is going to be your faker he he's going to fake buck sweep he's making us make it look like it's buck sweet so that's safety that strong safety on that side he is seeing buck sweep you know i i laugh when i see uh pro football and they say oh this is play action pass you know the quarterback does a cursory fake in the backfield the whole line stands up they fake nothing they fake no run play but this is true play action pass because i want what do i want i want that safety to come downhill because he came down here with ram buck sweep i want him to come downhill right now so what we have on the back side the the inside twin he is going to run through center field the outside twin who is on the line the split end he is going to run a dig 10 yards vertical five yards to the post straight across he'll be 15 yards deep the right half or the wing back here in this case he is going to fake like he's down blocking and continue to run a drag and if you look straight down the field i have a three level stretch down in the middle of the field and that's what my quarterback is looking at and here's one little nugget for you guys tell your quarterback when you have when you have levels always look deep first because if he looks deep he can see everybody underneath him if he's just looking at the wing back you might have that inside twin running through center field wide open he never sees him because he's only looking at the wing back now why do we bring the wing back because i can only block three men on the back side with my center my left guard and left tackle so should they bring four from the back side i have to give my quarterback in out and his out is the wing back dragging because the wing back is replacing the fourth man coming on that side so he knows if the fourth man is coming he's got to do whatever he can to avoid that fourth man and get it to the wing back forget anything else you got nothing because you're going to get sacked if you don't so that's why we run that wing back over there and you must have control of linebackers in any passing attack so he's going to take his shuffle steps two shuffle steps and then he's going to he's going to cross over left right and set up and he'll be about the quarterback will be at about six and a half or seven yards deep lined up in the b gap to the place side to the right side where you you faked buck sweep and he's going to throw it back so and uh you know so there's all the rules for you and and rick will have these up and again this is all in the glacier drive system so here's what the play the players are going to look like so this first play my and my inside twin gets held up but he doesn't clear it do a great job clearing out through center field but we still get to play okay we still get the dig and i love to dig because there's no other play in football you throw the ball 20 yards to gain 15. to throw a 15 yard out cut you got to have the ball in the air 40 yards now here they bring four to the back side my quarterback avoids it and he knows i have to throw it right now to that wing coming across now the the dig man was open he's got no time to look for the he sees him coming he said i've got to throw to that wing who has replaced the two blitzing backers here the inside twin clears through center field and he beats his man the dig was always also open but we have a touchdown and this is a play guys that you that you need twins gun buck sweep throwback please go on the ways your drive and if you're gonna want to run some of this you have to be able to to have this play but always tell your quarterback always look deep now we're going to do the same play from tripp's gun the only thing on the back side now i only have one receiver but this is a great way to isolate and i had my last uh four years at carnegie mellon had the same quarterback and his roommate was to split in and boy those kids were on were on page and uh the split end now is a fighter pilot in the air force and there's a wonderful kid and uh you know here's what we did a little bit different on the back side here we would tell him if he was backed off one run a hitch and usually we would get a cover three because why and i gave him credit here i rolled the strong safety down to the to the trips flank to support that edge if they don't roll it down you'll see one team that didn't do that we we could have run this play forever now if they press you on the back side we would allow our split end to run a take off now again if i was still coaching i would give him all the options he could run he could run a hit she could run a fade he could run a slant he could run a speed out and he would hand signal to the quarterback if we didn't do this i would do this now if i was still coaching and the split end would make the decision but everything else basically remains the same you know all the all your blocks are the same the wings blocking down gap down backer gap down backer for your play side uh tackle and tight end guards are doing the same thing now what you have you have a a flanker this could be a your half back or you know we would have two split ends in the game but that's the other thing we ran multiple formations and multiple personnel groupings so we would have uh you have the flanker out there what that does is take usually take away a support man and you'll see that when i show you the the video but the flanker is going to block number one from the sideline the strong safety is the man that we're gonna have to kick out with the playside guard and again we have angles on everyone else so you know we'd have a very successful play here and we would probably run you know could run bucksweep to this flank so you know the uh the left tackle here does not pull the way we did it uh when we had twins out there because he's got to be more concerned you know with that uh five technique so we want him to to cut the c gap player that five technique player so we could throw the hitch out there if that's what the quarterback is going to to determine to do we want to look to the one receiver side first one on one throw the hitch or fade and otherwise if we have the the buck sweep look then we'll take the buck sweep we're glad to do that so this first particular play here it's you'll see it from the back uh much better but uh this team here oh boy i i messed up there rick one second here and coach let's make sure the podcast is so the formation you've got a wide receiver on each side with a tight end and and one running back to the side of the quarterback right we got to get it oh you have tight in wing we got we have trips left we have trips left tight end wing left flanker outside of the wing one receiver to the back side you know and this i always kind of giggle when i when i see when i see this this team i mean these teams play us year after year and they they don't even get lined up properly i mean they're still they're still walking around there and we're prepared to snap the ball both of these they look very confused both of these both of these plays are first sound plays we get up there bang we run it we run the play first down rick and we run the play and you know you get they're very confused and they almost confuse our guys you know because because they're not lined up very well and we just kind of giggled now why why does this happen because we have two split ends in the game one's a flanker one's a split in okay we only have we have two running backs in the game so you know it's a different little bit different personnel grouping than they're they're used to seeing so it's uh you know it's just uh but they but our guys stay on track on their tracks we make a square cut and we get a great run out of the deal now this next play is covered two and they do not support the trips flank okay so it's a gimme out here and if my backside guard had been just a tad quicker and blocked that safety we'd had a big one but we i mean i'm complaining about a 10-yard gain but they don't support the flank they want to stay covered too against this look and it's very difficult to do now this next play they don't cover my split end this is college football you know but and the quarterback sees it the split ends they say nobody's covering me so he catches the snap and throws it immediately everybody else is still running buck sweep and you say well how would this happen because again we have two split ends in the game one's a split end one's a flanker so again with the you know with all the person the personnel groups going in and out the defense gets confused so your quarterback coach coach your quarterback always has the green light to just chuck it out there even though you have buck sweep called oh this is rpo it's a run pass option he is buck sweep to one side and it's either hitch or or taped off to the other side it's buck sweep and you know you know what's crazy rip we probably at we averaged something like some ridiculous number like 7.9 yards on buck sweep and like 11.2 yards on bubble or hitch when we were doing this stuff you know and they were always complete because we worked on it day after day after day and individual period and i know when i do my my zoom calls for the glazer people don't ever guys don't ever uh cut yourself short on individual time don't ever cut yourself short but he throws it out there it's a touchdown for you listeners there literally is no corner guarding his split in the split end is standing out there you know all by himself kind of like some of us on prom night we're just all by ourselves there's no corner out there at all and this is college football um i see we're saying coach because the wing t guys think that we only have one receiver so that's how they coach it all week so they think oh there's the one receiver they send their guy out everybody else loads the box and you you caught them with their pants down because you have basically two receivers on a receiver on each side exactly exactly it's a it's a pro formation it's a pro formation and you know we have so many different formations that we use and we do get a lot of confusion on the defense because of this and again this is a team we play every year so it's a it's not like they've never seen this before you know they they've seen it every year and one year i think we had 200 yards just running block sweep against this team my line coach is up in the booth he says he says er we might not have to run another play just change the formation you know and uh you know so this became a real big thing for us now i want to look at the belly slide because we're going to be the same exact formation okay we got a tight end wing we've got twins and we got the quarterback and a side car in the backfield now i call this belly slide because we're not we didn't cross block belly any uh much my last uh 12 or 15 years we were much better off running the motion back across in what i called slide or canadian motion and we would snap the ball as soon as he got past the the center the quarter the quarterback would call the cadence and this was on set so this is not a first sound play this is red set so he would motion his hand to put the wing in motion and wing would come across looking like jet sweep why because we run jet sweep from this formation we run sprint out past from this formation so we bring him across it looks like jet sweep all the time we've always got somebody moving almost all the time and and whenever we're calling cadence uh when we're when we're uh running on first down obviously there's nobody in motion but here we're bringing the wing back in this case we we are tight end wing left split end slot right side card to the right and we're going to make the handoff in the b gap to the right because why when we're under center at four yards that's where the belly handoff occurs so it's it's been a great play for us now what is the quarterback looking at well basically what what i've what i've told him is if they got seven in the box throw the bubble if they got six run belly slide why because we got more guys than they got okay we got them outnumbered we got seven we have seven to block and they only got six defenders but if there's any question when in doubt i always told them when in doubt give it out we'll take our chance on belly slide even if it's seven on seven okay we'll take our chance but we want to be able to again take advantage of the bubble situation out here so let's say i've shown a cover three look here to that uh twin side so the safety's rolled down the corner is deep so with my my my split end is gonna block the strong safety my twin runs the bubble and again it's a catch and throw by the quarterback he does not fake the belly the the fullback will do the faking we will execute we call a whammy or a double team on this nose guard and what we're trying to do is we're trying to knock him back this is not the old down the line wing t double team this is not this not out of that guy and block him back off the football and that's what we're trying to accomplish the court the fullback will take a little slide step towards the the quarterback so the quarter it's easier for the quarterback to make the handoff the quarterback just crosses over he's left foot over right he crosses over with his left foot to make the hand off if he's going to throw the bubble he's still going to cross over to get the ball going in that direction so it all works out it's all like one play all like one look and again the the rules are there you know and and uh you see here the the guard and the play side guard in this instance the right guard with tight end wing left the right guard and the center we call it whammy the two technique whammy him man knock the snot out of him knock him back knock him back into the linebacker we want to knock him back so the backside linebacker cannot come over the top and i slide back and block the front side linebacker and uh you know that's that's sort of what we've got going here so it's been a a great play for us here the left half back is in jet motion he's going to slide sideways two steps in the eight the app and get to the b gap when the ball is snapped and again the quarterback sees him coming across when he gets to the center he starts his slide the quarterback goes red as soon as he hears red he starts his slide and he is set boom he's in the b gap and we're on that linebacker now i like this better than when we were running trying to block the linebacker with the dive back because my slide back is only two yards from the ball the linebackers are four yards deep so now my slide back is making the connection on the other side of the football on the defensive side of the ball so we'll take a couple looks at it here and so right now number four is not counted as in the box okay but they still have seven in the box so now it's almost automatic bubble and you can see how slow my receiver is out there just almost walking out there okay the slide back is coming across they got seven in the box so we're going to throw the bubble and again you see there was no fake by the quarterback the fullback is doing all the faking what was the down and distance first and ten now here again this hey coach hey coach i'm sorry can you go back to that previous play um who's number four for the podcast listeners was that the outside linebacker i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm not understanding your question here well the previous slide you said you just said uh number four is is not in the box you're talking about jersey number four jersey number four he's a corner to this side to the tight end wing flank right so podcast leaders he's talking about the corner that's on the tight end wing flank he's kind of rolled up up on the line of scrimmage where the titan wing is and coach you're you're not considering him in the box or he is considered no no we would not even look at him okay the person we are most concerned with now is i i guess you'd call him the uh nine technique or on the on the uh uh the split end uh twin side okay he's in the box so wherever that fella is that's who we're looking at okay so now my quarterback just comes up i mean right now they got eight in a box almost because that's that that corner is rolled up right on my wing okay so it's going to be difficult to run buck sweep to this flank with that with that man rolled up there but my buck sweet throwback pass was going to be a big play for us here against this particular team okay that's because you're running but because you're running belly your quarterback's concerned with that defensive end the weak side defensive end that's on on the uh on the on the weak side tackle the right tackle in this case because your tight ends on the left exactly exactly okay so so now when we start to play yeah he's looking right now he says yeah they got seven in the box they got two guys out there they're both backed off i have an easy throw to to the uh inside twin and watch how slow he he walks there watch watch his steps watch him do lots of twin steps drop step cross over you know we're trying to you know he's under control he can't be going out there like a madman he's under control so this is uh again just for us it was an easy easy deal was that because that um that outside linebacker safety who rolled up on your slot receiver the number two receiver because he apexed because he was inside and the corner was way off that corner was off seven or eight yards would you give your quarterback some specific rules on on when he stole the bubble or is it just a gut feeling of it being open well it's a gut feeling and again it's it's it's it's where you know i'm trying to pause this here for a second okay it's it's where the outside linebacker is okay that's that's his concern who can get they get an extra man in that bubble and he sees that you know like you said they're backed off the corner was backed off maybe 80 yards okay so now we we're gonna block the most dangerous guy and i have my my uh slot catching the ball and he's one-on-one maybe they make the tackle maybe they don't you know so if they make the tackle i'm still gonna gain six or seven yards and what was the play you know first and ten it could be second and ten because what am i trying to do i'm trying to get half i'm trying to get a six yard play out of this deal to make it third and four i'm always trying to get to manageable for our podcast listeners they even blocked the corner coach just cracked the apex outside linebacker with the split in through the bubble and the guy that caught the bubble was just one-on-one with the corner the corner was eight yards off so yeah the corner made the tackle but coach gained nine yards before he made the tackle so we're you know we're at second and one now here they only had they only had six in the box so again it was an easy easy read for my quarterback okay so now the you know we got to do we got the uh double away we got the lead block and you know we've got a nice we got to have a nice play coming here so six in the box thinking run the belly seven of the box eight in the box throw the rpl throw the bubble out of the bubble exactly i didn't try to make this like you know advanced trigonometry either you know what i'm saying i i mean sometimes we make it too hard you know sometimes we try to make football too hard and i'm saying yeah just look what you see where we got the most guys you know and [Music] i had a guy try to tell me about how to number people and everything he said you number anybody i said ah you know what we don't have time to do that we only got you know 25 seconds or 40 seconds to snap the ball and i'm not worried about i'm not i'm less worried about their guys and more worried about my guys coach i'm glad you brought that up because you're not you were not teaching at a college for dummies carnegie mellon is kind of considered right on the level of mit i mean the kids that you were coaching were were highly intelligent analytical scientific type of kids and and yet you still felt like hey i don't need to overload their little brains with a bunch of rules well you know you know rick uh and again i guess it was from coaching in high school i coached at pittsburgh central catholic for years that's a college prep school okay so 95 of the kids went on to four-year colleges so i had smart kids there also but you know they get other things they're trying to you know get a kiss from their girlfriend on friday night you know they after the game i mean they got other things in their brain too it's not it's not like us we're just worried about coaching football you know and these kids i'm coaching at carnegie mellon they they they got a lot of stuff in their brains because they got their classes i couldn't even i couldn't even pronounce some of the classes they were taking and those kids took those kids took you talk about advanced trigger armory those kids took german romney probably in sixth grade yeah they they're brilliant they're absolutely brilliant i love those kids i mean they you know they kept me young they kept me sharp you know because they and i i'd say something to them i said well you know guys we haven't practiced trap in a couple weeks but you know we can run it you think we can do it they look at me like yeah like i insulted them you know say what do you mean we can't run trap we run traps since we the second day on campus here so i insulted them this next play you gotta have guys because this is slide bubble go and this is you'll see if they bring it an extra man in the box you can't account for them okay so if they have seven or eight in a box you can't account for them now you gotta you gotta fake the belly you gotta the quarterback you'll see my quarterback there's a wonderful he's a little shoulder shrug he has the bubble still out there as his outlet and the the spread in is going to run off like he's stalk blocking he breaks down like he's going to block that corner and he takes off to the inside staying away from the free safety but everybody is blocking belly i mean they got it they got to come off the ball they got to make it look like it's belly and uh but you got to have this play when they do this to you and i know that podcast people out there and their cars can't see this but what's going to happen here they cover our twins pretty well and then they're going to bring this the free safety when we start the slide motion they we're going to bring the free safety down as an extra man in the box we can't account for them so now we've got to run this place slide bubble go and you'll see my quarterback does a wonderful job here we bring the motion back across they bring that safety down and now my bubble man goes out and this is an important coaching point also rick my quarterback throws the ball right to where the receiver is he doesn't lay it out there for him because why well he's wide open so we would tell him make him slow down and catch the ball i'll take a 25-yard gain i'm not greedy now we end up making about a 40-yard gain out of this deal or more now i want to pause this here for one second because and this next few wow on this on this next view you said oh wow we're screwed right now okay but i've called slide bubble go so now here's how you must coach the the the the uh the go man up this team prior to the play we ran the slide bubble boy they brought that safety down and man you know we we said boy we got slide bubble go the next time we do this it's a touchdown well they went three over two so they have three players over our uh twins we're screwed right now we cannot run it inside so now the my uh go man who's my my split end out there he is going to go and fake block on the the man covering him like he's breaking down like we're going to throw the bubble and then he's going to run an outside go not inside but a fade okay and that's you can't run inside they got all the guys in there you're going to throw an interception you're going to you you covered yourself now in both of these instances if you don't have to go what do you still have you still have the bubble okay is it gonna be a great play no it might be a three or four yarder but you're still okay so here's here here's here's what happened you'll see my quarterback make a great shoulder fake and now we beat him up the sideline and now coach they they uh they they put their outside backer head up on number two now the safety's like right behind him for you listeners the coroner rolled up on his number one so you can see this really tight triangle of defenders on his two receivers so coach was that a call from the sideline or or is there some kind of signal how did the quarterback can split in to know to run the the the double move the goal is to fake the stock block and run the double move go how did they how the quarterback can split and know that it's not it's not a call from the sideline the the the split end knows he cannot run inside he must run the fade the quarterback sees it also and again like you said the quarterback had like 1480 on the s.a.t so you know where am i going with that kid you know so i was 980 what can i say but uh you know the quarterback says boy i hope he runs the fade i hope he runs the the kind of stop and go whatever you want to call it he goes and like you saw him go like he's stalking the number the number one on the sideline and then beats him outside and the quarterback is saying man i sure hope he does this if not i i know i have to throw the bubble and we're gonna gain three yards but if i if he does what i think he's going to do we're going to gain 33 yards which is about what we gain now coach defensively that was an even front that was only six in the box it was basically a four two the two dbs were still deep um on your tied inside uh why not why not run the belly uh with it was only a 4-2 defense could they have still round the belly we could have done it we could have checked to it um i checked to very few plays you know we had we had declared that we were going to run slide bubble go because why the first time we ran the slide bubble boy they brought their safeties down you know we said oh man that's that's their plan you know this team and this is a team we scrimmaged in the preseason this was a bowl game at the end of the year but we scrimmaged them in the pre-season so we we had seen them do this and we said oh that's their plan we we're going to have these suckers now you know but then that wasn't their plan they were kind of playing with us so you know you're correct there we we should have we could have checked to the to the uh belly slide and we could have checked to that and it would have been fine and did we do that yes do we do it often no and again um i thought doing all this rpo stuff that was that was more than enough with the time we had a lot you know we also had brilliant kids but we could only practice an hour and 40 minutes every day that was it that included warm-up stretch that you know pre pre-practice you know most of our practices were about 90 minutes long which is plenty of time but you know you still got a lot to accomplish you got to get your kicking game in and your all your specialty uh stuff in it as well coach you mentioned you said check down to the belly so was it a was it a a call that the quarterback made like hey uh uh audible to the belly audible to the bubble um the play is called slide slide bubble go okay so you know he would just come up and he'd say check slide check slide that means we're gonna run belly slide okay so now we're going to go to slide bubble not slide bubble go slide bubble go is not an rpo this is a called play based on what the defense had done before does and you can check to the to the belly with your cone slide or you can check to the bubble correct awesome awesome great stuff i want i want to get to a couple under center rpos before we run out of time here but uh you know we we run this formation uh rick so often this is what i call friends we have two split ends in the game it's trips right we have one split end on the line of scrimmage the other split end is a flanker and he's off the line of scrimmage and we have a slot to that side and we have tight end tight end to the left so we have a three-man surface to the left and we have the right guard right tackle slot split end on the line flanker off the line i'm trying to describe everything here one back in the backfield this is a typical spread you know the spread teams are doing this all the time this formation if we wanted to say friends spread then we would just spread out the tight end so now we would have with on both sides okay so it gave us a lot of options passing wise now we needed some runs off of this and since we were you know for the the the uh the spread teams that are doing this stuff they just run zone inside zone outside zone with this with this look well we started doing this and we ran friends give so it was a give or a bubble to the slot with our two split ends out there one on the line and the flanker off the line blocking the two most dangerous receivers the two most dangerous defensive defensive players and again the quarterback just just had to have a feel for what he was going to do he'd give the ball or not now if he came up and decided he wanted to give the ball then if you see here if the defender over the play side wing if he was outside we would give the ball to the fullback because why we had six we had six guys to block so he would tap his butt that he was going to give the ball to the fullback now he could tap his butt and on the snap maybe decide not to give it to the fullback and still throw the bubble but the bubble steps for that slot were exactly the same as if he was a slot or if he was a twin okay so it's the same steps coach who's how are you accounting for that playside inside backer you've got the center and guard double the the nose the one tech nose and your right tackle is blocking out on the five tech who's accounting for that playside backer if you just give the ball to the fullback in that b gap the double team the double team is going to come off the news okay it's a it's a zone technique i i i hate to use that word zone because i went out of his own team okay but we're gonna you know the center's gonna get a right shoulder the guard's gonna get the right guard is gonna get a left shoulder we're gonna knock him back into that backer and and come off on the backer the guard will probably come off on the backer and uh again this is a running down call so i ran this a lot on third and three okay because i figure we can gain three yards the fullback this is when we were running a lot of uh uh we're running this back when we were running a lot of triple option okay we're not running that anymore but we're running this angle for the fullback so he's crossing over and you know aims for the for the hip of the guard and you know we just hit it up in there trying to gain three four five yards this is not a touchdown play this is a running down call first and ten second and five third and three it's a running down call third and two and you'll see a couple a couple of calls like that but uh now the quarterback kicks out at 45 puts the ball in the fullback's gut if he's going to give it to him takes a step back and throws the butt fakes the bubble or he kicks out sticks the ball out real quick not a ride fullback hits it up in there and he throws bubble so it's a quick hitting play and uh uh and it just depends on you know where where this outside linebacker is this fella right here okay if he's outside we're probably going to give it if he comes inside head up on this guy we're going to throw the bubble okay so it just depends where this fella here is so let's take a couple looks at it and see what we have and it's just so it's just so apparent it was just so easy and all this is almost like a it's a sweep it's a you know it looks like a toss sweep so right here they're bringing that back or we know there's nobody out there the quarterback sees it right now so kind of fake the inside veer and and get it to that to that wing who's in the trips uh coaches he's in trips but it's it's a wing and then and then the two receivers out there it's it's not your true um you know trips that you see he's it's a wing with two receivers to make the trip's formation you have to slot with two receivers outside of the slot correct so you can see the defense i could see the defense just kind of ignoring the slot you know they kind of think he's just there to block yep now you're going to see this this one here coming up right here this was the third down and two and we're trying to ice the game and boy if we'd have thrown the bubble it was a touchdown but we need we needed two yards to ice the game so we ran we ran the full back in i had a great fullback this kid led the conference in rushing two years watch this great block by my left tackle they pinch he takes him down and that fullback just runs right through that backer but we only needed two yards yard and a half two yards hit it hard get a yard exactly exactly now this i want to go down here this play here i'm not even sure what the rules are anymore but i think this is an illegal crack but back when we ran it this was legal but you're going to see right here let me pause this right here i mean this is a gimme they got two over r3 okay this is this is stealing so yeah and the outside backer is not even guarding number two he's he's on your slot so you're you're number two receiver is in great crack position uh watch what happens to i think i said i don't even think you're allowed to do this anymore and you probably shouldn't be allowed to do it but this is like i said i should have been arrested for it for stealing on this plate but here's what happens yeah so the number two receiver in the trips cracks the outside linebacker who's not even out on the trips the corners just stopped blocked by number one you throw the the you got the wing or the slot on the on the on the bubble and uh nobody left nobody left and you're not you're diving the fullback at that place side backer so he's broke he's frozen you see you see what i'm saying yeah so it it uh and again this is where i was going with all of this this was i ran out of years that's all i did but when my brain is still working you know and the last thing i want to talk about here is is the wham because i think this is a play that every every team should have and i don't know if you're running any wham rick but this is a great play against a a a 4-2 team or against a 50-front team 3-14 and the first time i put this i ran in high school years ago and didn't run it for probably 20 years we were playing a a gross city had a great nose guard the year before he must have made 15 tackles and he was a man so i had a wing back who was about six one two fifteen uh he was a high school tight end uh i made him a wing back and this kid would knock the snot out anybody so we would still line up in that french formation now we we bring the wing in motion and we trap the nose guard outside in the center avoids the nose and goes to one backer the play side guard avoids the nose and blocks the other backer and this guy's just sitting there he's sitting there out on an island coaches it's a real short motion he's just sliding the mo the guy sliding only two or three steps because they're trapping the nose guard who's on the wing side because the tight end is opposite so the three tech they've set the three tech to the tight inside coach we have done this because i've always felt like nose guards never work in practice on how to wrong shoulder traps and really they never practice getting trapped by a wing who's coming in motion right they're used to being trapped by guards exactly exactly and we ran this the first time we ran and boy we maybe the second played a game and we lit this nose guard up and you know he he looked like uh uh like the gophers in in uh that bill murray movie that golf movie you know as soon as the ball was snapped the first thing he did was raise his head up to see who was coming and every time he could see the motion man coming across he could still see him out of his peripheral vision but boy we negated him he made one tackle he was he was useless and well we had our way with him that that way but this was a uh this was a great play for us but what people started doing to us was this they when we would bring this the this the uh slot in motion to trap the nose they started bringing this backer in with him you see what i'm saying bringing that outside backer yeah bring him back into the water who you know they've brought it they brought him in with them so now that's an extra guy you can you can't account for him okay so that's when we put in the rpo off of it with the bubble out here because as soon as they start bringing him in now that left my inside receiver the man on the line to block the most dangerous receiver the outside receiver runs the inside bubble so it was a very easy throwing catch for the quarterback because why he's coming towards him okay so it's an easy throw and catch so coaches coaches what happened you listeners is the the outside backer comes inside the box with the motion guy the he's got his number two guy in the trips on the line of scrimmage there's nobody on him so he just takes care of the corner who's the only guy left out there and then and the most outside receiver number one receiver is running what they call some guys call it a hot screen and now screen that he just takes one or two steps inside the quarterback catches the ball and follows that number two guy who's now stalking the corner since the outside linebackers came in the box and he's going to be frozen with the play-action fake to the dive back because he coaches diving behind the behind the right guard behind the playside guard exactly the folk the fullback takes a lateral step we used to call it quick belly back in the old days when we were running belly belly option we took quick belly steps so the quarter the fullback takes the lateral step and aims for the crack of the guard's tail end and he's hitting it right up in there and uh it's a fast hitting play it's a north and south play and it's just uh it's been a you know so i added in my last year i added this rpo off of it because that's what people were doing they were following our slot in the box so they had an extra guy we couldn't account for them and it was causing us a headache we couldn't run the play and it was too good to play not to run now the other thing is if you've got the plate called and for whatever reason they uh you know they reduce the front they shift the line and they bring the nose to a three technique okay now no matter what happens you gotta throw the bubble because you can't wham a three technique you don't have enough people to it's a big mess in there so we would automatically throw the bubble so this is you know this is kind of what it looks like now this first play is is the way this is years ago the first few times we were running wham so you'll see this the slot come inside and trap the nose and the full back just goes it's a straight ahead play coaches that wing back in motion absolutely demolish that nose guard that's it and coach that's not a big wing back that nose guard's a big boy he's a tough kid he was a tough kid that was chris garcia boy he was as tough as they came right there that kid so chris garcia right in ibm right he's an ibm kid itty bitty mexican he probably is i don't know you see the smart kid i know that okay now here here is um here here's it come you'll see that you'll see the uh fella come inside there now that the the five technique slanted inside so my full back sees that and bounces it outside but i still had my twins out there to block for him so we want us we want to trap the nose which we do but with the slant of the tackle you know it kind of screwed us up there but your right tackle made a good decision when that five tech slanted inside your tackle just washed it down exactly now watch here you see him start cheating that wing in i mean that outside backer in so now we just it's an easy easy throw and catch out here easy throwing catch we see we see him moving in a little bit so we just easy throwing catch at what point is the quarterback making that decision during the motion he's seeing what that number that the the apex uh outside linebacker is doing yes yes now here third down and three golf this is a running down call again third and two third and three they have the three technique to our side you see it here yep yeah no good the play's off we got to throw the bubble whether we want to or not we got to throw the bubble because the play won't work the the running play is off so we have to throw we have to throw the bubble in that instance that's why i put that on there so everybody you know and your quarterbacks got to recognize that so the coaching sequence is is is is um on the motion read the read what the the trips defender does but hey pre-snap if they run an under front with a three-tech week then you you have no choice throw the rpo bubble you got to throw the bubble i'll just have a couple more videos i want to show you here your your this is what carnegie mellon is doing now and i want to show you how easy they're going to put the rpo in off of this i've been talking to them for i don't know how many years to do this and now they're gonna they're gonna do it okay because it's stealing again we should be arrested but uh you're gonna see the the wing come in and trap that nose and uh shout out to rick stewart they're a coach that was out of pistol so i love it they're they're almost exclusively in pistol now okay and they but they still they're tight end wings sometimes and they but watch this watch this i recruited that kid he was my freshman fullback my last year and they moved him to he was like an h-back for them slot h-back type of guy and they're trapping that was a that was a if i was right that was a four zero four front so you're you're trapping a true zero tech head up nose dart yep now look look look at the how easy would be the the bubble out here would this be stealing out here or what this would be so easy and and it's oh my god there's nobody on number two nobody on number two it would be stealing okay the the the person on number two is my my heavens he's he's 15 yards deep so like i said they're they're going to do this you know if the right guy gets the head coaching job next year they're going to do it next year okay so now they do have a tight end in there now the only thing you got to coach up and they they didn't coach him up here if you if the center tries to block the backer to the left and if the if the nose guard goes with him then the the the wham back should go vertical and block the play side backer just have the center take the nose but this would be stealing like right there they didn't have to throw the bubble because they had three over two so we recap that coach so the nose guard if he's not gonna come up field to be trapped he's going to wash because the center's stepping left to go get that backside inside linebacker if the nose guard mirror steps with him then the center just go and lock up on him and the motion guy who's supposed to trap that nose guard you insert up and get the back or you just exchange the blocks exactly okay i say that right okay you said it perfect exactly okay but you see what i'm saying here how now you can run it from pistol you can run it from you can run from anything okay and this is again rick you know we run we ran some pistol i'm going to do a little talk uh sometime for the glacier people on the rocket stuff we were doing uh rocket scenes the orbit motion rocket sweep got a pistol and uh you know i would have run the swamp play with the rpo out there this is where i was going with all of this when i like i said i ran out of years this is this is so much fun and it just uh you know you can dictate to the defense you know you're you're in charge that they're not they're not dictating to you you're you're dictating to them and you know like you so astutely looked when i went friends and kept the tight end in well now i forced them to have a three to nine technique to that tight end side okay so then i i had my one i had the one technique where i wanted them to wear them okay yeah coach people ask me all the time you know they a lot of the spread guys if i've got him to come over from the dark side and run wing t because they say oh you're in pistol and you've got four receivers with two slots and then they want to run everything out 10 first now i said that's fine and dandy but man it's it's really powerful when you have a tight end now and then because with it i don't know how you felt coach but i felt like with my tight end i could kind of dictate the fronts and manipulate where the three tech was going to be uh because with a tight end they almost have to shade the 2d tackles whether you want to shade away or two i mean i don't know how you felt with the titan i even if i didn't have a tight end i took a third string tackle game in 80 jersey and i lied to him and said we were going to throw the ball sure absolutely we did it many times that's and that's the beauty to me rick of this offense you know and and why why i loved it for so many years you know you could you can you can emphasize who you want to emphasize i i did it with the greatest pure pastor of all time with dan marino but boy you should have seen him run running waggle and counter boot okay he ran for about 800 yards his senior year coach back up back up i didn't realize that they have said that multiple times on different message boards even on tv that dan marino ran the wing t in high school i'd even connect the dots damn right around the windshield high school because you were his coach well we were let me let me tell you what i had to do okay the the fella before us got got fired running running a wing t so they said what do you run i said uh we run the slot eye so we we we lined up in the i formation but we ran wing t blocking rules okay i mean power is power you know i mean power blocking rules is the same wing t or i formation whatever okay we would we would run bucks buck sweep except now the fullback would hit we pitched the ball to the eye back okay so i mean it was all the same it was to say it was it was mirrors you know and we ran counter boot you know we're just mirrors and so so uh now our goal line offense and you're going to laugh at this was full house tee we ran buck sweep to both flanks belly to both flanks waggle to both flanks and belly keep pass to both flex okay so so so in your tombstone is it coach early the man who made dan marino run wing t in high school well his his uh uh uh his his agent was i think lee steinberg's son whatever his agent marvin demoff was his agent and first time i met him he saw yeah you were the smart high school coach who ran the wing t with mourinho we won a lot of games you know i thought that was the object was to win the game let's win games win games hey you know what uh brett favre ran the triple option uh rich gannon ran the wing t we could we could go on and on hey coach we got to wrap this up coaches this was awesome if they want
