No. 24 North
Carolina hung onto the Victory Bell after a double-overtime thriller in
what was likely Drake Maye’s final game in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels
had 537 total yards of offense in the win, as Maye completed 28 of 43
pass attempts for 342 yards and a touchdown through the air. He also
picked up 2 more TDs on the ground. Omarion Hampton ran the ball 31
times for 169 yards and a touchdown as well. Tez Walker had a monster
game, making 7 catches for 162 yards in the win. For Duke, QB Grayson
Loftis completed 16 of 28 passes for 189 yards and 3 touchdowns, with
all three scores going to WR Jordan Moore. RB Jordan Waters had 20
carries for 113 yards and 2 touchdowns in the loss.

For teams that are RPO-heavy in their attack, the defense will start to take away conflict by bringing a safety down into the box either pre-snap by alignment or by rotation in buzzing a safety down into the box.
With this move, they effectively equate numbers in the run, and the underneath passing windows are typically left open by a 2nd level player whose run-fits are now taken away.
This creates the necessity of having vertical answers.
An offense can drop back and use seam reads or choice routes, but the
objective of any RPO is to run the ball while having a protection
answer.
Of course, the RPO can remain the call by simply shifting to a 3rd Level RPO.
Most of these are designed with some sort of underneath throws still
available with quick routes or key screens. When the offense is
successful with these, then the defense needs to decide if it really
wants to bring that extra defender down.
Today, we will take a look at three 3rd Level RPO with the Glance, Bender, and Slot Fade and how each attacks a void in the defense.
Glance
If the backside safety comes down, then Glance is a favorite for many programs. These typically are run as a 5-step break.
Glance can be run to the field as well. At Alabama, they call it “pop.” The idea is to attack space as Alabama WR Coach Holmon Wiggins points out in this video:
Glance is fine to the field as well, but you have to be wary of the backside safety. Noel Mazzone has his receivers flatten it out to what he calls a grass glance. The purpose is to not bring the Glance into the safety. He explains it in this video:
Bender
Another option is to use a Bender route allowing the receiver to bend into the void rather
than giving a distinct break. This type of route comes into play
versus different rotations but it allows the offense to attack a void in
the middle of the defense with an easy throw. Former Averett OC Kirkland Brown explains it off of a gap scheme in this video:
Slot Fade
Glance and Bender bring the receivers into the middle of the field, so safeties are always a danger, but the slot fade attacks a different void of the defense and can be protected with back shoulder throws as well.
Defenses are getting better and better in how they defend RPO. Having a mechanism to attack their aggressiveness can provide answers and explosive plays.
Planning for some 3rd Level RPO answers can be an effective way to get the chalk back for the offense.
Football Training Techniques for Football Training Like the Pros
Whether you're a coach or parent, how much do you really know about
football training techniques and helping your players or son train
properly to reach the ultimate success they're looking for? With all the
football training aids and programs out there, it can be quite
overwhelming and/or confusing.
If you're not helping your players or son dramatically improve in the
areas of conditioning, strength and speed, how in the world can you
expect them to have success, especially against the best teams on the
schedule?
It doesn't matter if it's Pop Warner or high school, you need to
focus on football training like the pros...it's all about teaching how
to develop acceleration and deceleration, as well as change of direction
speed. That's what gets you more offensive yards and prevents giving
them up on defense.
It's time to educate yourself, whether it be through the best youth
football training dvd out there, or a total football training program.
These days, it's not longer OK to neglect the best football training
techniques available, allow a free-for-all in the weight room, or think
"gassers" are sufficient to get football players into shape.
Even if you're overwhelmed with how to provide the correct speed,
strength, and conditioning players need, or you don't honestly know
enough about it, focusing on better schemes, scouting or film
preparation will never overcome a team that doesn't have the size,
strength and speed of the top programs in your district.
If you're a coach, it's your responsibility to give your team all the
correct football training techniques. If you're a parent and frustrated
by the lack of speed, strength and conditioning help your son is
receiving by his coach, you must do more than having your son look at
one youth football training dvd or use a couple of football training
aids.
There are too many quality total football training packages available
that are comprehensive and complete in the information provided to not
take advantage. People like NFL head strength and conditioning coach
Duane Carlisle are providing help to youth coaches, players and parents
that results in understanding what football training like the pros
really entails.
What needs to happen is that you take action. Get the right tools.
Help your players or son. Their success and happiness depends on you
taking a proactive approach to bettering their strength and
conditioning.

football training dvd and how football training like the pros is done.

Today we look at receiver play, specifically route running, from two different perspectives. We first get some keys to being a great route runner from
Tony Sorrentino, Assistant WR Coach for the Minnesota Vikings, and then from a player, Will Swinney, former WR, Clemson.
You
may recognize the last name. His father is Clemson Head Coach Dabo
Swinney, so I’m sure he’s picked up a ton from a coaching perspective
along the way.
To illustrate the art of route running we
will focus on the Corner today is how to win the space inside and create
a window for the quarterback to throw into.
The Coach Perspective
To begin, Coach Sorrentino believes there are three keys to route running:
Win at the line of scrimmage. Defenses will press until they believe you can beat press.
Whether it’s for a job interview or in the classroom with his players, these are things that Coach Sorrentino is convicted about and will share in any situation he’s asked to talk receiver play.
Let’s focus on developing the top of the route, especially how it relates to the Corner route.
Fundamental
to any route is the Feet. Everything is about feet: Feet get you out of
the break and create separation, especially by staying underneath the
body.
Coach believes he can learn a lot about a receiver in
preparing for the draft by studying and analyzing the top of the route.
He explains the importance of developing the top of the route in this
video:
Let’s take a look at how this applies to the Corner route. In this example, he illustrates how Cooper Kupp wins the Corner route and the adjustments he makes along the way to win and create space for the throw:
Will Swinney believes there is an art to running a Corner Route. He sees it as being a master of deception. You want to make him think you are doing something else. This is done by marrying routes up and make them look the same.
He wants to get in the defender's head and have a plan to win the route beforehand and then adjust after.
He goes through the specifics of running a Corner route in this video:
The consistency between what Coach Sorrentino and Will Swinney emphasized is making everything look the same and having a plan. There
is the ideal break that’s drawn on the diagram, then there's the
technique and break necessary to get the route open and give the QB the
window he needs.
Receivers who are developed beyond
running the route as drawn on the diagram will get a quarterback in
trouble or at the very least force him to move on in the progression to
another receiver. We know our guys want the ball, so they should be motivated to learn the art of route running.
As
you get out on the field more in the spring and summer, developing the
skill and savvy of your receivers will pay huge dividends in the fall.
As the game constantly evolves, plays and concepts come and go, and that’s been true of stand alone quick game.
In
my first year as a head coach, we had plenty of issues to deal with and
one of those was a very undersized offensive line. In the run game we
made use of plenty of gap schemes to give our guys angles, but the passing game required us to use play action, which we did, and most importantly, get the ball out quick!
At that time I studied Andrew Coverdale’s books inside and out and went and watched him for six sessions at a Glazier Clinic to learn all he was teaching. It paid off as we led our conference in passing primarily off of quick game.
Quick game is something that Arizona State Tight Ends Coach Jason Mohns
believes in. In an era of RPO, the quick game on its own disappeared
temporarily, but Coach Mohns mad his case for putting it back in your
offense in his talk at Lauren’s First and Goal.
The Need for Quick Passing Game
Coach Mohns noted that in recent years, they’ve observed a decline in completion percentages, which he attributed to the fact that they weren't calling a lot of quick game anymore. Defenses
started to get better at defending RPOs, taking away gift routes and
easy completions. This has forced the offense into more shot plays down
the field and one-on-ones.
To counter this, he decided to
focus on creating easy throws for their quarterbacks to get into a
rhythm and bring back some built-in adjustments to man coverages.
Benefits of Quick Passing Games
#1) Get the ball in your playmaker's hands effectively and efficiently:
Quick passing games involve higher percentage throws for your
quarterbacks when you're not pushing downfield. This allows you to get
the ball to your playmakers more quickly and efficiently.
#2) Great built-in answers to pressure:
Quick passing games help you avoid having to worry about picking up six
and seven-man pressures. Instead, you can throw the ball to beat the
bullets and keep your quarterback in the game.
#3) Simple and easy progressions: Quick passing games have simple and easy progressions for your quarterbacks, making it easier for them to execute the plays.
#4) Versatility:
Quick passing games can be easily dressed up and disguised to keep your
opponents guessing. You can use window dressing to make your schemes
look different while keeping the progression the same for the
quarterback.
#5) Ideal for open down calls and first and 10 and second along calls:
When building your game plan, quick passing games can show up
consistently on your game plan, providing you with more options to
outsmart your opponents.
Incorporating Quick Passing Game into Your Strategy
To
start incorporating quick passing games into your offensive strategy,
focus on creating easy throws for your quarterbacks to get into a
rhythm. Study your offense, do some self-scouting, and make sure you have some built-in adjustments to man coverages.
Dress up your schemes with the illusion of complexity to keep your
opponents guessing, and make sure you have open down calls, first and
10, and second along calls in your game plan.
Examples from Coach Mohns
Consider Adding Quicks…
By mastering the art of quick passing, you can significantly improve your offensive production and boost your completion percentages. Quick passing games offer versatility, efficiency, and a higher probability of success for your quarterbacks.
It’s worth exploring putting quick game back into your offensive menu.

Having the
quarterback who stands at the middle of the field in December and raises
the state championship trophy begins with clear expectations. Beyond
being an accurate passer, Coach Dodge shares the characteristics that he
must see from his quarterback.
Coach explains the aspects of training
a quarterback including his “3 camera” coaching point to help the
quarterback understand the “stroke” of throwing a football which helps
with accuracy.
Dodge spends a good portion of the
presentation covering how the quarterback’s footwork must match the
concept. Coach demonstrates how they think about calibrating their
passing game with proper footwork illustrating their methods with drill
and game film.
He shares how they drill the quarterbacks in all aspects of developing their technique including RPO execution.
