Had a great time at North Central’s Mega Camp. Thank you to all the coaches for helping me improve my game. I learned a lot and appreciate all your time and effort!

@CoachTatum90 Team Alignment, and I am not talking about how we line up vs Empty. Ex: goals, values, expectations. We are also implementing a new practice tool called 'The Standard Chart' that I am excited to see put to use.

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@CoachTatum90 I'm going to assume we got our stance/starts done in pre-practice and are in mid-season form.

1. Iowa Drill (Base, Down, Reach)
2a. Pull Drill (Wrap, Kick)
2b. Combo Progression (Ace, Deuce)

I would rotate 2a/2b with my young dudes in one group and older dudes in another.

@CoachFBInsights Thanks coach

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@CoachFBInsights The game of football is copy-and-paste. The question is can you paste and coach it? If an offense runs IZ/Counter, Quick game, RPO, but shifts, motions, gives the QB check options, and does it at a damn high level, is that an offense?

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@PaceNSpace2 Duo

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@coachklee @CoachTatum90 @FDPlayBook Absolutely. With the run piece of this RPO being QB designed, he needs to take a "rocker" step to get his eyes on his read and feet working to be in a position to throw the bubble or fit the run called. Also helps with timing for both the run/pass pieces.

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@coachklee @CoachTatum90 @FDPlayBook Sweet little wrinkle

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@coachklee @CoachTatum90 @FDPlayBook I would assume the 'pitch' on this is actually a bubble. If the Sam brings pressure or gets out lev. we are throwing the bubble. We would teach out RT to block his normal counter rules here.

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@CoachTatum90 @Run_TheDamnBall @TheLastFullback @txhsfbchat @FilmHistoric @PaceNSpace2 @NC_FB_Connect We loved getting to this formation last year. Ran majority GH counter but can have a lot of fun with 2 sniffer. Here are a couple looks at what we did from an RPO standpoint off of GH.

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@Coach_ChadJohn We leaned on 8-10 plays as our opening script. We would then rep that script on air / vs bags early in practice on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday. The kids loved knowing what those first few calls were. We found ourselves starting much faster on Friday nights.

[Zach Gadbury @CoachGads]

@CoachTatum90 @Run_TheDamnBaII @TheLastFullback @PaceNSpace2 @FilmHistoric @txhsfbchat @coaching_share @FDPlayBook We love Duo vs 3-4. Especially 3x1 to put Nickel in bind. Good stuff, Coach!
