Inside the Playbook: Ohio State's Book and Run Scheme and Arrow/Slide RPO

Everyone knows the basic zone reading pattern. Lock zones (or one of several types of zones ) when the back lock is unlocked for QB reading. If DE breaks the stitch, QB releases and escapes from behind. When DE is in the house, QB gives it to RB, who works on the main inside.

The more mathematical and precise the defense becomes in the reading area, the more difficult this "reading" becomes for the QB. You now have games like Scratch Exchange where DE collapses and LB fills the back. They have a more athletic wing that can force you to quit but can come back to play from behind. One option is to replace the read defender and the other option is to use additional defenders to change the block style . In this article, I'm going to talk about an alternative to the book and gun systems the mayor has used in Florida for some time.

book / bible outline
The Book is a game that uses TE/H-Back/FB to stamp the "Bible" as a relative spirit, reading the player (or in some rare cases, two defenders outside the red cannons). Although the bible looks like a divided area at first, the book starts behind the game to see the second level blocker pressure level and from there it folds to the second level.

The player who reads it always becomes the second DL at the end of the game (the head counts as the middle of the upper back). Depending on how the 3rd and 4th Defenders are in the line of defense, you can get BST #3 and TE #4, but they are rare.

This book project has several advantages:

1. Arch obstruction can affect the expansion of DE. Most defenders play by the rules of ban and reduction . The presence of the TE arc outside of it often extends to them, with early lessons indicating that they are working towards this. This allows you to have 2 type of block with one TE, often removing DE from the game and preventing the linebacker from coming back.
2. When teams work with cannons including scrap changes and other plays (which can cause DE to crash), this makes reading the QB easier. So the defense wants to use another DE defender to save QB and now that defender is blocked and if QB stops hitting DE hits RB and is removed from the game.
3. Like the previous two points: This increases the risk of QB escaping since they now have a blocker on their heads. This can sometimes change the defensive area and prevent 3rd level defenders from penetrating the Arab defences. This way you distribute the protective snap of the post.

The Bible, like the book in its final form, focuses differently on defense because it initially resembles a divided territory. Hence the following DEK Bible forces the following to follow the rules of prohibition and etiquette to avoid being "caught". This "scriptural" aspect will encourage DE to work behind the game, especially against groups that favor "false targets" (discussed in the ban link). However, if he pushes too hard behind the game, the TE can get close to the second line of defense and help the QB deal with the operation.

Examples of books

This is the book's primary challenge. Here the TE will fall from the DE (keep sliding from the inside rather than attacking from the top of the hill) and immediately block the NB from the outside. This allows BST to immediately act on the back side of the ILB and focus on that block, a clearer flight from the QB's final region.

Here is an example of a 'Double Book' where there is a TE/Wing combination on the back Each of the two 'Book' blocks move behind TE#3 and the wing returns to the second level allowing the DE to jump inwards.

Here you really get two skins. This is an example of a 'Bible' invocation, but it also includes an example of a 'loop' invocation (see next section) where the BST falls first and then goes back to the second level to affect the DE. In this case, DE flies behind RB as he must be part of the wing. However, both outside players are blocked by the "Loop" and "Bible" blocks.

Gun

The rifle is actually the same concept as the "Book" but not with the TE/H-Back/FB but with the BST. It can be used as an online appeal against a specific image or as a game challenge like drawing a book. Depending on the defensive structure, BST will either come in early (to close a direct free throw from DE) or act immediately as a defender. He can eliminate the third defender ("gun") or "repeat" at the second level.

Examples of guns

OSU vs. Oklahoma, the "gun" with which the BST was originally drawn, escaped. DE tries to attack, loses balance and escapes from the game. Banning more sports OLBs brings him to the end of the game and drops the RB TD with ease.

And from the last area, look at the good angle of BSG vs. LB without even thinking about DE help.

Same goes for Wisconsin in the Big Ten Championship play. DE attacks from the top of the hill and doesn't spin fast enough to drop RB down.

Here's what you can do to "save" later in the same game: LINK

Bull / Chute RPO
Finally, let's explore a similar concept, but for now replace the back block with a pivot path. I would like to start by saying that I am very skeptical about this RPO. The angle of this shot forces him to have high accuracy in the movement position (not just over the shoulder and off the body), often with an unstable arm position (handling the ball is the basis of the throw in time). Likewise, clumsy corner catchers (effectively avoiding QB) can be hard to grip, a track and transmission who have little time to adjust their hands while the ball is in the air. However, as we've seen from OSU, PSU, and Oklahoma, they can easily be seen as every team used them very effectively in 2017.

Again, there are two different examples: an arrow screen that acts as a "book" to "block" the rear defender from this direction; The "waterfall" initially appears as a split zone but has the same effect on defence.

Here you can see that RPO's stock allows RB to fall back, completely removing the guns from wholesale.

Here's the RPO chip. In this case, the OSU uses the movement of the socket. And the poor army doesn't know what to do here (check the security on the side of the game so they don't escape).

I'm hesitant to mention that the power supply uses the same circuit that I've used more than anyone else in the last year.

Inside the Playbook: Bluff and Go RPO

Presentation

At the university (and high school) level, RPOs are becoming increasingly difficult to prevent. With loose rules on field players, defenders are forced to maintain long and long coverage after clear points. There is no game other than Bluff and Go RPO.

Original - Reading environment

When the reading area was first installed, it was as easy as walking in one direction, falling backwards, and completely unprotected.

But they know it quickly: If you want to be a QB, all you have to do is stop following DE. Run a garbage business (or other game) if you want to trick Cubin into saving.

Smart football

There were two main ways to soften the attack. One of the three alternative versions was running, which allows the QB to always be correct. We will return there. Later, defenders began using the arc screen to effectively block attempts to prevent QB reading.

This wild arc has become a major theme in football in recent years.

And when the defenses are adjusted, attacks also occur, two forward blocks are sent from the defensive position, and the scattered elements begin to enter the dense and heavy structure.

 Original - screen action

In the early 2000s, Rich Road offered a three-fold option to read in the new field.

But he did not want to force a double attack, so he changed the Pitch Man screen bubble three times to RPO. As the field expands, bubble man field becomes an option, and field-side WRs serve as external blocks for DBs outside of the "Peach Reading" shield (usually a tip type shield).

As more and more teams return to the bubble attack screen, they will begin to see QB Top Defender being dropped by numbers, especially during the ongoing game.

Fish duck - As the group often beat the bubbles, they began to avoid safety measures in the bubble action or immediately followed the bubble action with its top defenders or both.

The strong natural response to this defense is similar to the concept of game action, which I often call " screen action . " Externally, the initial movements are the same as those seen on a regular screen game at one step and at a crossroads.

Screen action works with different WR screens . I will return to that in the next article.

RPO Bluff and Joan

I first saw this idea in Ohio State vs. Michigan State Week 6. Although I'm sure it was implemented for the first time, it was a great idea because MSU is trying to get the CBs to the edge to protect the QB address.

Here the Buckeyes are effectively implementing the double concept behind the wheel. The Spartans play in the back field with the outside stick and eyes using an extra cube in cover 2 / trap mode. Messages # 3 and # 1 work to block security. Meanwhile, CB Bluffs # 2 seems to be clearing the way between MSU Apex Defender and CB. Once the CB is attached to the rear eye, it returns to the WR field and returns vertically behind the CB and out of safety. The original concept behind the wheel is a good use.

Note that OL does not preclude. This is not an Arab ARPO. The only rush option in this game is QB shuttlecock or shuttlecock, which acts as a place to read the action in the background.

A week later, both Illinois and Michigan share the same conceptual differences.

First, Michigan. Here Michigan 3x1 starts with 12 employees. Indicate overview of the arc field (this is a stream outside the room area )

Nub TE first deletes the DB block from the outside. When DB jumps out of it, he breaks the te and returns to a corner.

The good thing about the knot is that it often emphasizes the known defenses. This adaptation can come in the form of "copying", CB is following the WR on the opposite side of the field, "copying" when security is now in the hands of an outsider, or when security is at its peak. ) Or employee (CB is currently responsible for establishing the benefits of the race).

Here, the dB, which is aligned with the umbilical cord, is clearly seated at the tip of the lead and is placed on the te to protect the outer rod. A single MOF is highly secure, facing QBs and WR sides on the field and eagerly matching the numbers. All of this means that your priority is to support TE, especially for someone who works far away from you.

Note: The offensive line is being blocked (maybe a little more) and given a chance.

Note that following the grid point, the QB works directly horizontally, as if it were initially slightly backward. This path gives you a distance from the DLL and gives the CB time to attack, cover or move (ie, extend the CB reading time). In this case, the QB is reading the database in the receiver, and has the ability to perform an in-depth security check to prevent it from working.

The exciting thing about adding Bow Block is that Michigan will try to implement the idea earlier this year. Here CB gets deeper and WR can never be blurred and narrow enough gaps. No problem, there are key attackers to make the QB implementation plan go smoothly.

Illinois later came up with the same idea but came up with the WR series.

Here, WR relies on the blockchain in CB. CB will give you an internal release and WR will return to the generation. The internal opening makes the transmission angle extremely difficult, but the WR passage can vary from CB to fall.

I want to add bubbles at the top of the screen. It does a lot of security in that direction, but it does a lot to draw LBs that way. In addition to the high level of coverage, you will also receive free border protection support from the central bank, so avoiding protection from other areas can be of great benefit.

Surprisingly, the Michigan bluff go to Arc Zone and MSU RPO is back.

Here, like Illinois, they run from a 3x1 field, only one receiver is a common WR. Unlike Illinois, WR fractions are compact. It helps a lot. When WR moves through the collection block, it can gain space and have more space on the side. When it hits the screen and the CB eyes start to go back, WR can break and win the side line, which makes the QB pass angle easier, and Michigan gets a simple TD.

The final point is the final game of the year against OSU. OSU, under Nickel CB, is called Defense 4-4. When Michigan moved to TE-Wing with 12 employees, CB WR resumed. This means that LB was responsible for this structure.

To make these LBs more controversial, Michigan uses a zoning concept, which seems to protect the OLB division zone. RPO enters opposite RB. When you look at the QB's deep security, you can be sure that the LB is getting support from above. Without this support, you would be worse off knowing that your TE is LB 1v1, and at most conflicts with the performance provided by the LB TE partition.

In addition, the structure of the TE wing allows it to be expressed within the internal TE structure , which normally results in protective coating problems, as the group is forced to care for receptors with internal LBs rather than wings. They are especially known for their outstanding performance. You_ _

The TE layout acts as a "compressed" WR partition, which gives a lot of edge space. Here, with the defender outside Los, it can be assumed that the TE has closed the box. These trunks allow you to work towards the tip, not to the side and not to the side of the corner.

A great project game from Gettys. I know that controlling the OSU structure from the 12P wing "overwrites" the cover game at high angles. LB remains abnormal. https://t.co/WhtiSK5xtf
