Football Fundamentals: I-Formation RB Gap and Pull Run Plays

This is a series of posts with lots of game charts. Where it does not have depth, we hope it will compensate for the width. The purpose of this article is to present the many subtleties of a racing game that are beyond the basic things available to you that you can find almost anywhere. I will highlight a few key features of the game, but most of the cards will stand out on their own, except for a brief description. This position is (necessarily) limited to the powerful drama given directly to the RB. Excludes FB, QB, H-Back, Wing, TE or WR runs. It also does not include the option set. This thing for the next post.

Why did I choose a training that is mostly out of fashion and how can I expect to use this information? I-Formation is a classic two-set that made great history during the introduction of football. After all, it is a highly adaptable racing configuration, featuring wheel shift, H-back and other aspects that fit almost any racing concept into its frame. And here's the point: you can watch an ongoing game in i-formation and easily transfer it to many modern formations. With footwork and possibly changing times, any one of these games can be used in the following cases, for example:

• Walk with two defenders (the second defender might be FB, H-Back, Wing or Sniffer)
• 1-back shotgun QB run (Arabic as an extra block)
• Read option 1-back shotgun (read run-run, run-pass, or pass-run options replace extra blocks).

Many of today’s great border crossings often return to old patterns. In the NFL, with the modern broadcast concept, you see a lot of the best offenses using the Wing T concept (variants and fake suits are not included in this article, so it is somewhat limited). Below, each match is associated with two equal main fronts (4-3 overs and less).

Let's take a look at Gap Racing and Basic Shooter Racing games now.

Game delivery
Twins
Also known as "Power Without Extractor". Read RB MIKE on Duo . When MIKE is complete, Arabic jumps. When MIKE scratches upwards, RB hits the middle. Often confused with inland areas, there are certain subtleties to distinguish them, but it is important to note that this is a gap racing game, not a zone racing game.

Stomach cramps

A gap-blocking variant of the belly game, known for attacking corners. Here, the attacking line will close the gap (double and return), and FB will quickly remove the defensive EMOL. Arabic will fall quickly and try to get between the outside blocks and kicks. Dual teams do not expand because the goal is to create a game fold and quickly overcome it.

Bounce
A gap-blocking game that looks like a Duo but bounces The initial path of the RB is similar to that of the Duo, but the FB registers the EMOL and the goal of the game is to seal the inner defense before it jumps.

Shooting game
Too much power
RPO - Run regular ribbon . Ordinary running games, if it ever existed, could be launched against any front in a variety of ways .

Mainstream Y.

A racing match with three Arabic. The first side of the RB will now be the player “knock out” and the second side will lead through the hole. Can be calculated with a play call, only structure (if Y is out, it turns into a back) or another set of rules.

Single wire ball O

Another series of three RBs, we now use unique power and rear blockers (hit with OT) to allow the second lead blocker to pass through the hole. Due to the non-extensible nature of LOS, it tends to be a little narrower. Note, however, that if an unblocked defender threatens the edge, the "front blocker" on the playing side must be held responsible instead of leading through the opening.

Off

Another version of Power O, this time it does not bet on extended doubles, only the down block (i.e. not the first level combination block, the exposed OL going straight to the second level). This helps strengthen the game's late defenses and makes the game much more D-run than an ABCD interval.

Power recovery

Power and another form of it, now with the desire to jump out. To do this, FB now registers EMOL and OG shooting bypasses it. To make sure it is sealed inside, OG may have to double the EMOL and so the double side of the game / TE works with the LB side of the game.

That boss of power

Y-Boss is a nice change of pace when the defense starts to slow down the game on the SS side. Due to the path (Y is trying to work outside of EMOL) it looks like a root exit or series block, which helps to extend EMOL to kick out, which makes it a well-planned answer for 6 / 6i DE or DE Makes technology. Offer. Note that this reading is usually played on a CD, because the rear LB is no longer counted with the front.

Single supply and

When a power O is executed from a rear structure, the invading EMOL is responsible for eliminating the protective EMOL. Even if we have a two-defender set, we will now use the second RB as the header blocker and therefore block the LOS as a one-throw pass. This is a good change of pace if you have a defensive EMOL that tries to strike an internal strike or badly because there is no room for it against the LOS blocker. It also helps if the LB on the play side passes the OG in front of the hole, because now the lead blocked FB can hit fast.

Boss is a single force
Another way to manage SS. This time we use one power and single spin and use extra spin for SS. It can work outside of LOS or through LOS as needed.

Single rail power o

Adding a split current to the power O makes the protection very difficult to detect. This allows the rear OT to go straight to the second level to shorten the rear LB.

BOB single power o

Look at another of the split currents. But here FB will work in LB's hole. For this reason, Arabic is first allowed to read the middle block. If the center loses on the playing side, he can hold that block and penetrate the RB back gap A. Otherwise, the gameplay side of Power O comes back alone. This will help prevent runoff from the back of the house.

Strength c

Traditionally, this is more of an online call. In cases where the 4i rear technique can be difficult to block downwards, the cross may work better than the OG rear. However, if the defense controls your defenders and you have a center that can shoot, this is a nice change of pace and allows the game to hit a bit faster as the center is closer to the player's side, but keep in mind that there is a recession right now. Run BCD

Power-o scissors

Now there is nothing to read, cut the ball again in the Arabic game. Ideal against overflow from behind.

Power scissors power o

Same as in previous games, but now we use FB as an additional lead block to block the rear LB.

Cable protocol t

We move away from Power O and now attack from outside in front of T. To do this, we now plan to use FB to save EMOL and allow Tackle to exit the game.

Crack tea lude

Magazine blocks can be complex, so using crack blocks adds an extra block to the side of the game and allows the desired layout of the rastrack to place two blockers outside the front cover. This allows the FB head to be locked on any protective filler, forcing the CB to attack instead of the LB.

Crack lead GT
Shoot the two top OLs just like in the game This match needs to come out fast because LB can close that gap, but it creates a lot of mass on the outside to lead the attack.

O Vou GT effect

Taken from the Flexbone / Wing T-Game build, it uses natural defensive flows in response to the Lead GT. Throw the ball into the RB on the way to the start just like the lead GT and once you get the ball, work through the straight lane. This game can be a DL unlock, which means you have to see the evidence of their prey shooters. TE can move its first level block as soon as the shooter feels the release of DE. Overflow counter d

OG scan
Classic long game with OG draw. Try sealing the EMOL inside to make both subtractions work; FB This task can be assigned.

Download the emission scan
Add an exciting game QB. This effectively eliminates the danger of a pass, but like a QB attack, it adds an extra edge to block play. Four blockers in front of the outer hook.

Packer wipers

Racing game that made Lombardy famous. Here, FB will lead through the hole and help to double the DT on the playing side before that duplication at the LB level. Helps to prevent internal intrusion and prevents LB from playing stream on game site due to FB path.

* Please note that all naming is mine, although I try to stick to the standard. In addition to adding games, you can add "markers" to base games (as I did) or create simple word names to replace short contacts.

Jay Johnson: Coaching Primer

With his impressive defense, Mark de Antonio opened one of the most successful positions in the history of football in Michigan. While the quarterback's strong defense in the quarterfinals is memorable, the fall was at least partly due to the overall incompetence of the attack. While I don't think the uniform is a major factor in the 2019 Michigan State disaster, it will be interesting to see what fans will bring to the new recruit for Mail Mail. As a result of the change in training, Tacer hopes to bring his former team from Colorado to East Lance. Taker is with former Colorado attack coordinator Jay Johnson. The Buffaloes 2019's first year in charge of Taker showed me what I expected from the Spartan attack.

Warnings

There should always be warnings, and when it comes to training, changes and what to expect in the future. When it comes to Tacer State and Michigan, there are very few.

1. Colorado, in particular, seems to be limited by the depth of the attack. They chose WRs and QBs, which they struggled to read back, but succeeded in splitting the bet.
2. Tacker was only one year old on the board. Although this does not give the attackers a clear idea of ​​what they want to do, it does give them a clue as to what they will choose and what their attack will be based on.

The Colorado offensive line did not surprise me much. OL coach and athletics coordinator Chris Kapilovich worked at the CU for many years and traveled with Tucer to MSU. However, Kylovich has a relatively successful history, especially in the UNC, so it can be difficult to say where he came from without examining him. Attack Coordinator Jay Johnson also plays a role in Tucker headquarters, so waiting should be a very similar crime.

As for talent, Michigan should have some restrictions, at least at the beginning of the Tucker era. The QB's position should have been a concern after Leverk's dismissal, and no one took a step forward to become a clear replacement. For many years the offensive line was ineffective. And the best WR crash in the NFL Draft. However, they have promising players in the right place and will be well-employed in the future. Maybe this is a transitional year, but the treasury is not empty.

Personal, training and pre-shooting

There were 11 employees in Colorado (1 farmer, 1 TE), probably 90% of the workforce. Outside the Red Zone, select 10 to 12 employees and select only a few images between different work groups. There was a slight increase in the use of 12 people in the Red Zone, but in most cases it was still 11. Nation.

The breeder has an open stem, which accounts for about two-thirds of the owners and probably 75% of the total locks. Behind this was the clear support of former Cass Tech Judge Yaren Mangam.

WR 4 passes through three common WR spots at the same time, the first two leaving the field are not clear. CU TE has almost never left the field.

Colorado is officially under siege due to limited use of personnel and widespread use of firearms. Most bullets are divided between short-range (TE) rifles, long-range (non-TE) rifles and pistols. On some floors of the game there was an element below. Almost always jet movement and final round use (remember the ram attack) were all with Ace's back area.

Another limitation on training was that TEs had 80% of the ammunition in the Y-Off position. This means that since one-way WR is always different from the configuration, there was little or no basic configuration.

The two main combinations are Double Y-Off and X Open Y Trio.

Double Y-Off.

X Open Y Trio Gun

One way to make support difficult is to take TI to the WR class. This happens in a variety of ways, either 3 WR in 3x1, in a group as a number, or sometimes 2 numbers in a set of twins (on the los line or outside).

Next to the twins:

They often used compact shapes to pass the ball, often adding a lower main body. As they passed, it was often a network concept.

As mentioned earlier, they sometimes go downhill

You can say that some back-to-back compression increases, so Y-Off TE sometimes deceives in a "sniffer" mode by laying the back of the contrast protector instead of out of contrast.

The movement was a small part of the crime and took three different forms.

First, there were some game-focused activities, such as moving the arbiter and attacking Safe Run to make the most of the three-person race in Arizona.

Second, they performed some basic training exercises or RB exercises to help identify the most commonly used cover from the main lower third.

Finally, when you want to threaten jet clearing

We had to clear the border with jet jets to win the Michigan fans, sorry ...

They often play tricks on the field to get the team down.

Another time, after the change of ownership, they added some steps.

Colorado had a serious attack, but when the time came, they found themselves in the middle of the group. There are a few exceptions, but this is not a tool you use most often.

Get angry and run away

Colorado has suffered a major attack on the interior, with both the unit unit and the encrypted environment operating in the same way (Note: In PAC12, many groups use a three-person front, which may have some effect.) Read more about Balance)

Separation area ;

Weak interior;

Two standard editions were used during the year , basic stretching zone play and belly reading .

There was a somewhat different feeling in the leading extension area. Off-Y TE is used as the FB sidewalk to the LB level, but TE does not serve as a secondary backup level. See how it was delayed to release Off-Y to fight LB.

Before moving to the second level, they played on the solid formation side of the abdomen due to the collapse of the TE to resemble the first level block, although they performed a different flow process.

In one of the rare cases where 12 staff members entered the game, it was a good time for both teams to get stuck in the game.

What Colorado has seen is the addition of a unique twist to each game, which makes the game plan feel certain, not necessarily something that will be transported or included in future games. This applies to construction, circuit movement and curves.

Some of the crashes that Colorado has repeatedly encountered include Counter OT (I have seen it in two games) and Duo (compared to Arizona). Although all seasons use jet fuel , they are more dependent on Washington. However, the torch was added that these racing designs were very different from the game plan and were not part of the attack. Giving strength. Future competitors to explore.

Passing through the crime

Colorado was a serious violation of the "concepts". This means that the general concepts of two or three people in the crime are used without much attention. On the positive side, these are relatively simple QB concepts and provide clear movement / advanced buttons that allow for fast processing. The defense, on the other hand, has a lot of tools and experience to counter these ideas, and the Colorado attack has left the QB at the foot of the game for a long time after the break.

One thing is certain: The attack gives WR a chance to play on the field. One of their reference concepts is the IZ Play Action 3 Verts (this is a cleaner, lever version than the Houston concept or the Seattle concept). Find a match, take it out and wait for WR to play.

In terms of aggression, there are some basic concepts that many rely on, often reflecting the concept on both sides in 2v2 groups . Double polo is my favorite.

Another popular two-way concept is that the internal receiver is a little deeper than the external WR.

Some concepts include glass plate-7, plate-9, smash and so on.

They also use the fair share of three-person concepts, sometimes the third person comes in the opposite direction. These are usually your regular concepts like stick , boot , flood and snag .

They usually include a front ax before a 3-person concept, usually to bend or close. QB reads and relates usage and attacks the only recipient when appropriate.

Finally, the concept of merging in the red field is Mesh .

I would like to point out that their success in the network has not been good but they have dedicated themselves to working with him on various platforms (Arbi Will, corner tracks, super network, etc.). So, I expect it to continue as the main thing.

They play a little on the screens, but that's not a big deal. The most striking feature is the pseudotunel rear screen for the open field.

Passing through the crime

There was no serious RPO violation in Colorado, but it was. Most of their screen offers come from "present" screens that are part of the RPO .

Note that this is a pre-installed RPO based on number / usage. They also used twists and turns in their attacks on RPOs after firing, but were rarely used. Like I said, this is not an obvious violation of the RPO, but it is enough to justify the violation.

and so on.
I watched a short film about Johnson's time in Minnesota. The crime was very similar to what happened in Colorado. The main difference is the capture of FB and the possible OLF. This resulted in more use of the pin and drag, some power patterns in the game book and some space patterns / resistance, more prominent. However, they were still very dependent on the inner zone.

General Ideas

Overall, I do not agree with the attack, but in principle it is good. The idea seems to be a simple attack that allows players to play faster. Demonstrations are limited, playlists are limited, but you can say that they have concepts that they think they believe in. Unfortunately, this WR has resulted in a number of issues that have not been opened and the QB has struggled to play. Johnson gives kids a chance to play but in addition to some game plan concepts it does little to open up game players.

They have some intelligence. In my opinion, games based on game planning often make sense and bear fruit. They were ready to take them from different fields and link them to existing texts. Overall, however, there were some obvious trends based on formation, distance, and position on the field. There are reasons for trends, and fans who claim to know the directions may not realize that they are creating trends and turning them into strategies based on what is right for you, but it is a very simple mistake.

Finally, and it is very difficult to understand, there are always individual errors, especially in the informal versions. That's why Buffalo relied heavily on a certain set of games, it could be a player limit, it could be a limitation of management, it could be a feature of the first year war, but because of obstacles, many games were stopped. Road junctions, etc.

Personally, I think Salam has a more interesting project attack. He used different team concepts, had a relatively strong RPO attack, and the game was confusing in terms of passing. Maybe new employees can reach out and stick to their plans or maybe they have a foundation they want to build on simplicity and performance.

I like that killing gives children a chance. This allows the team to play at different speeds, attack faster and get ready to hit the field. They relied on a very boring inner zone plan, but that MSU is a recurring theme, and you can build on that, especially for an attack that I thought would be around 50-50 balanced. But in general, the program forces the ISU to beat its competitors and does not give them a program advantage from one game to another.
