US Sports Football: Learn from 'Juggernaut' Offense and Cleveland Browns vs. Las Vegas Raiders Game Highlights

What is a “juggernaut?”

Juggernaut:

Noun - a huge, powerful, and overwhelming force or institution.

The word “juggernaut” gets thrown out there every now and then, but by definition it fits the Morningside College offense under offensive coordinator Lucas Luders’ guidance.

After leading Morningside College’s offense to back-to-back NAIA National Championships in 2018-19, and a nod as the Football Scoop NAIA Coordinator of the Year, Lueders has moved on to Central Missouri bringing his high power offense with him.  

Unfortunately, with a pandemic canceled 2020 season, there’s no stat line from Central Missouri, but you can bet they will be at the top of NCAA D2 when they return.

Lueders is one of those coaches currently flying under the radar of some of the big schools, but don’t expect that to stay that way long.

How does he do it?

He identifies their mode of attack as a no-huddle, multiple formation offense.  He organizes their attack as follows:

Vary formations

Be flexible

Vary run schemes

Power

Counter

Outside zone

Simplify for QB

Critical for adjustments

Mass reps

Simplify mesh/exchange

Attack conflict player

Keep the defense off balance

#’s, leverage and grass

When you ask a coach how they are successful, the best won’t point to the scheme, they will point to how they practice.  Here’s what Lueders has his offense focus on in practice to make them so effective at RPO and Screens:

On Air

Mesh/exchange

Timing of routes

Live reads

Moving pieces/In-between read (cloudy)

Create a confident and precise decision maker

Running back (eyes, aiming point, waterfall)

Sonic Tempo

Max reps

Move every 5 yards (vs Defense/Scouts)

Substitution plan

Sonic Tempo period lets Lueders offense maximize reps. His OL rotates every 6 plays, and back-up and 3rd stringers get a ton of reps. Starting at the minus five, they move the ball every 5 yards regardless of what happened.  They go down and back and get 30-35 plays in a 10 minute block.

Things like Sonic Tempo give his offense the ability to work towards perfect execution and bring it to the level they are at.

Watch Lueders talk about his Philosophy and Practice in this video:

Lueders gives insight into some of the most high powered parts of his offense in his course RPO’s and Screens:

Philosophy

Practice

3rd Level RPO

Leverage, Numbers, Grass

3x1 Film

Using the Whole Field

Pre-Snap RPO

Fastballs (1 word calls)

Designed Called Screens

US Sports Football: 5 Keys to Using Trick Plays and New York Jets vs New England Patriots Game Highlights

 

• By Coach Grabowski

---

The teams that you face now are usually of equal or greater caliber. 

Solid offensive performances are still built around the core of what you do that has got you to this point. However, being able to strategically add an explosive play through the use of some kind of deceptive or trick can provide the spark plug you need to overcome your opponent.

Here’s Five Keys for Using Trick Plays

Know your opponent and what players on defense are quick to react to an initial key. Plan your attack here.

Decide when and where are the appropriate time to use these plays. Most of the time these plays are effective when the game is tight.

Set up the play to fit into what you do. Use looks and formations that are already part of your game plan. A formation the defense hasn’t seen sometimes causes them to play less aggressively and could be an indicator that you are doing something out of the ordinary.

Practice your plays but not too much. Give it a few team reps and over the week and that’s all. If there is a key mechanic involved with ball handling or a pass, let the players involved practice it separately.

Have fun! These plays are always fun when they work out and the players love to execute them.

There are many possibilities for the tricks you can design. Here’s three unique trick plays to get your creative juices flowing.

#1) “Tony Disco” from Shawn Liotta

Shawn Liotta has plenty of gadgets that work.  This is one he let his players name and they called it “Tony Disco.”  It’s a variation of Philly Special, and is great in the red zone.  The Speed sweep action gets the defense flowing immediately and leaves them exposed on the opposite flank for the TD.

#2) “Razorback” by Rick Darlington

He’s known for his explosive offense, and he’s not shy about using trick plays.  Coach Darlington put this play into his arsenal after seeing Gus Malzahn run it while he was at Arkansas, thus the name.  Again, sweep action gets the defense moving and both the player aligned at QB and the TE on the crossing route are wide open.  Coach loves this play against defenses who play man coverage.

#3) Eric Marty’s Tight End Toss Pass

Eric Marty, offensive coordinator at Grambling features another play borrowed from one of the great coaches in the game, Steve Spurrier. This is one that has fly motion, a toss to the tailback, and a throw to a tight end that delays his release.  All of the action in the backfield, and the initial block of the TE allows him to get lost in the secondary even though, as Coach Marty points out, they prefer not to run it against this coverage.  It works anyway.  It’s another play that’s good in the red zone.

Trick plays are always an opportunity to change the game and put your team ahead.  

Here’s one more resource with all-22 video of 95 trick plays if you are still looking for ideas.

US Sports Football: Dominate the Defense with Double Teams and Las Vegas Raiders vs Denver Broncos Game Highlights

 

• By Coach Grabowski
 

---

Dominating the line of scrimmage means you are moving people and there’s no better way to accomplish this than with combos. It gives the offense the opportunity to put two on one to get level one movement before coming off to level two.  While this seems simple and smart, to be effective you must have a system for doing this, and the teaching progression and drills that create the execution you need.

Level 1 - High Knee

Taking care of level 1 is priority #1. The correct footwork, hand placement is necessary to get the block and the run play going. For Steve Ciocci, offensive line coach at Bryant University, the movement on level one is created with a high knee position which gives his linemen the leverage the need to get movement on level one started.  He explains the five situations for the “high knee mentality” in this video.

Teaching Uncovered/Covered Principles

In order for double teams to work all the time against different fronts, alignments, and movements, having a system for assignments allows the offensive linemen to be set up for success.

Ohio University Offensive Line Coach Allen Rudolph explains his system for teaching combos here:

Perfect it by Drilling it 

Once you install the techniques and the system for how combos will work, drilling it over and over allows this to become second nature for your offensive line. There are plenty of drills and equipment which help in this process and Coach Rudolph and Coach Ciocci include their drill progressions in their CoachTube courses.

University of Central Florida Offensive Line Coach Herb Hand uses a tried and true piece of equipment that many programs have had for a long time - the Crowther Sled.  He spoke for over an hour and a half at the COOL Clinic.

Coach Hand explains a little of the history behind this sled as well as why he believes in using it to teach and drill his double teams. In this set of videos he explains what he means when he says “The Crowther doesn’t lie.”

Whether you have a Crowther or not, having sound progressions which teach all aspects of dominating the double team are necessary.  Building the performance of the offensive line in practice does not happen by accident.

These three courses which total over 3 ½ hours of video are loaded with the details and drills needed for you to displace defensive linemen and get level two blocked as well.  

Whether you are teaching zone schemes or gap schemes, these techniques will help you dominate the defense and get the ground game rolling.

If you want to get the run game going, this is specifically focused on double team/combos will give you all the details you need from some of the best offensive line coaches in the game. Courses from these three coaches are available.

US Sports Football: Always have a plan to play your best 11 and Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Las Vegas Raiders Game Highlights

 

• By Keith Grabowski

Always have a plan to play your best 11

You are always in a better situation if you have your best 11 on the field.  

Injuries

Depth charts are great, and in the course of a single game, a second teamer will most likely play, but what do you do in the case of an injury?  How does the next most dynamic defender get on the field if one of your starters goes down?  

What tools do you have or how does your structure accommodate a change?  

For example, let’s say there is an injury to your starting defensive end and your next most dynamic guy is an undersized outside linebacker.  

He clearly gives you more than the next defensive end. Do you have something structurally that allows you to get him on the field more?  

It’s something to think about now.  Always understanding who your best 11 are trumps a depth chart in many situations.

Four down team

Let’s use the example of a four down team.  

I saw a team using multiple outside linebackers (a 4-3 team).  They were alternating during the course of a game.  Then the defensive end went out.  He was clearly one of their best defenders.  

Just based on watching the next player run in for him, I saw a big drop off and fortunately for them, the injured defensive end was back in the next series.  

The question becomes what can the defense do to adapt and keep the best 11 on the field?

Adjustments

RPI Defensive Coordinator Jeff Dittman had to handle a similar situation. Needing something different in the middle of the season, he found a way to add an odd front into their four down defensive system on the fly.  

This didn’t require major overhauls.  He kept it simple and it proved very effective.

Coach Dittman used various odd front alignments while keeping the thought process the same for his defenders. 

“Bama” allows Dittman to get his defense into the “mint” front which utilizes 4i’s.  Many coordinators like this to shut down inside zone teams because it forces the ball wide instead of downhill. 

Here Coach Dittman shows the change-up: 

Bama video:

In the scenario we talked about earlier, the replacement is that outside linebacker (OLB) who was subbing in with another  outside linebacker (OLB). When the defensive end (DE) goes down or needs a break, the replacement is used from an odd structure to maintain their 4 down front responsibilities. Now a more dynamic player is on the field rather than using that next defensive end.

Conclusionsion

These are questions to ask now and work into practice.  Prepare for all contingencies.  As you go through the season, what do you need to package up to be able to get a different 11 on the field if you do not feel someone next on the depth chart is not your best option.

It may never come into play, but when it does you are prepared.  It can also be used as a change-up.  Maybe that DE also plays offense and getting him a break here and there, especially early in the season is a smart thing to do.

These packages that provide variations can add stress to the offense in their preparations. It makes it simple for you, but they must take extra time to prepare. That’s an advantage for the defense!
