Download or read book Down and Out written by Surface To Air System Publishing and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genesis of this book is to illustrate and demonstrate for the football community what is happening with the Surface To Air System and its members. We are in an era where the spread offense has become a dominant force in the game for football. That is not to say that all teams are spread, or that all teams should be spread, but the revolution has evolved the game and made the current structure of the game different than anything we have ever seen before. When I started coaching 21 years ago I thought I was innovative when we ran the I formation instead of the wing-t that so many of my colleagues preferred. Then I broke with tradition again by being the first school in my region to run the Air Raid style of Spread Offense. Then an interesting thing started to happen: everyone seemed to become a "spread guy" where there used to be none and that caused a thought to crease my mind. I decided that we needed to establish a base offense that we could hang our hat on, but could also incorporate parts of all the offenses I have been a part of over the years. That evolution spawned the use of RPOs, but it also spawned the creation of a dynamic and universally practical offense we have chosen to call the Surface To Air System.This book will not focus on two major run packages that we have utilized for a long time, the inside and outside zone schemes. While we are a big "zone team" I have published on these before and chose to focus in this book on more of our gap scheme components. This book is about teaching "Power Spread" RPOs because the merger of the spread offense with more conventional gap scheme runs has created an offense that has the benefits of both worlds. I feel that the spread offense has become a bit too finesse and the more traditional under center gets too boring and passive; combining the two has produced better results. I will discuss in the next few chapters why I feel that the Air Raid Spread Offense wasn't enough, why the Power Style football wasn't enough, and why we needed to blend the two together into a version of the Power Spread Offense that we have tabbed, taught, and continue to develop called the Surface To Air System.

This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The modern game of football is filled with plays and formations with names like the Counter Trey, the Wildcat, the Zone Blitz and the Cover Two. They have become part of the sport's vernacular, and yet for many fans they remain just names, often confusing ones. To rectify that, Tim Layden has drilled deep into the core of the game to reveal not only how these chalkboard X's and O's really work on the field, but also where they came from and who dreamed them up. These playbook schemes, many of them illuminated by diagrams, bear the insignia of some of the game's great innovators, men like Vince Lombardi, Don Coryell, Tom Osborne, Bill Walsh, Tony Dungy and Buddy Ryan. But football has also been radically altered by the ingenious work of men with more obscure names, like Tiger Ellison, Emory Bellard and Mouse Davis. In Blood, Sweat and Chalk, Layden takes readers into the meeting rooms-and in some cases the living rooms-where the game's most significant ideas were hatched. He goes to the coaches and to the players who inspired them, and lets them tell their stories. In candid conversations with some of football's most intriguing characters, Layden provides a fascinating guide to the game, helping fans to better see the subtleties of America's favorite sport.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coach Bill Renner shares with you his offensive playbook for the 2x2 Spread Offense Formation. This formation has two wide receivers on either side of the formation and a running back in the backfield with the quarterback in the gun. Coach Renner provides in-depth details of the run plays, drop back passes, play action passes, play action rollout passes, screen passes, throwback passes, pass protection versus ten different fronts, a 5-play memorized sequence called NASCAR that has no play call at the line of scrimmage, using running back motion in pass routes and a play installation sequence chart so you know how to put this offense in. He provides you with a detailed diagram for each play, tells you how to call each play using his numbering system, and he diagrams each player's responsibility on all the plays. On the run plays he provides the blocking schemes versus a 4-3, 3-4, 3-3-5 stack and the Bear front. Coach Renner also gives you specific details of how to read the defense and use each play to attack a defender's technique. These plays are not called at random. You will know how to call each play, run or pass, and why and when you are using a play. Coach Renner also gives you his opponent attack sheet that you can use on the sideline or at practice to call these offensive plays. Whether the ball is on a hash or in the middle of the field, Coach Renner has these plays labeled for you to use correctly in attacking the defense. The design of the run plays with this formation is an aggressive, downhill running attack. The pass play design gives the quarterback a short, intermediate and deep route on every pass route combination. The quarterback is never left with nowhere to throw the football. Coach Renner has called plays for 30 years, 23 years as a head coach. He finished his 30-year coaching career with a consecutive game touchdown scoring streak of 141 games, a span of 13-years. During that time his offenses averaged 31.1 points per game and 6+ wins per season. These things were achieved at four different high schools in two different states. And, all four teams became winning playoff teams. This 2x2 spread formation playbook was an integral part of the success of his teams. It is a complete and comprehensive playbook but easy for you to understand and coach. You will understand the advantage you can have using this formation and these plays when you have gone through his playbook.
