The Power Spread Offense

The power spread offense is a combination of taking the old school I and power I running game, quick pass, hot pass, screens and play action schemes and turning into a new school spread offense that utilizes the same principles or tough, physical football. I LOVE POWER FOOTBALL!!! In this day and age though, it is tough to get buy in from the kids and the community because the old school I and Power I are not as sexy as the spread offense. I have run this offense for 10 of my 11 years as a head coach with much deviation in yearly talent. Some years we have utilized a TE.  Some years we ran the jet sweep as the core of our system. Some years we utilized 2 TE's. Some years we installed some 5-step drop passing plays.  Some years single back exclusively and others we used multiple 2 Back sets. You can truly design this around your talent year in and year out.

What I love about this offense?

• It is a man blocking and gap scheme offense that utilizes easy to remember acronyms for blocking rules.
  • Slam, power, counter, iso, toss, sweep, dive
• The rules will block any front you will see without variation and give your kids confidence to know they will never see a front they can't block or when they are caught by surprise.
• Tempo - You can huddle, no huddle, play slow, play fast. It is up to you and what your team needs to do to win.
• Passing game is simple and effective. The quick, hots, screens and PA passes are easy to install and perfect.
• Adaptability - Multiple formations allow for you to be Pro style, TE Spread or no TE spread depending on your personnel.
• It is a TOUGH, PHYSICAL, GATA spread offense in a finesse, pretty spread football world.
• QB run game gives you an edge and the ability to run power I schemes and outnumber the defense at the point of attack.
• You can run it without having a huge offensive line due to utilization of blocking angles and blocking smart.
• Your playbook is a menu. Each year you can pick and choose what items in the menu best fit your personnel so you can put put your kids in a situation to be successful without an offensive overhaul.
