The Spread Multiple

West Coast Offense

Multiple West Coast
Spread Offense
 Derived from Urban Meyer, although most of the
terminology is from Sid Gilman / Joe Gibbs /
Colorado State University (Sonny Lubick)
 Passing offense: Single-side receiver across –
backs routes are called – protection is called
 Run game is set up with Series Number based
on number of backs and position of backs –
helps the line with line-calls and blocking
schemes
 Formations are called with descriptive one-
syllable names for easy learning and repeating
 Everyone is told what to do in the play call (no
memorizing)
 Each ‘motion’ receiver / back is given a ‘tag’ call
to go in motion – we motion into the called
formation
Overview
 Introduction
 Philosophy of the system
 Play-calling Philosophy
 How the run game is set up
 How the passing game is set up
 Basic “Spread” pass protection
 Incorporating two separate sets of
progressions
 The formations system
 How motions are called
 How shifts are called
 How the play-calls are made
 Practice / Installation Philosophy
 How the call sheet is set up and used
 Introduction
 As a teaching philosophy, this is a
complete offensive system that is very
logical and simple to comprehend by both
players and coaches
 This system allows you to spend quality
time teaching fundamentals, because you
don’t have to spend an inordinate amount
of time running plays to teach the system
as well as specific plays to the players
 Once the language of the system is
learned and installed, the possible play-
calls and formations are virtually endless
Introduction (cont)
 Easy to understand and easy for players
and coaches to learn
 Simple to install in a short period of time
 Allows a team to make adjustments at
anytime during a game
 Extremely flexible

Note of Interest – It turns out that this is

very close variation of Sid Gilman’s
system. Joe Gibbs (New Redskins Head
Coach) runs a similar system – Extremely
flexible for shifts, motions and multiple
formations!
 Philosophy of the System
 Use a system where a coach can teach efficiently
with high quality instruction – teaching becomes
a priority
 Create a precision-timed passing game with
explosive capabilities, i.e. vertically push the ball
downfield
– We also have to go into any given season
being able to beat the bump & run defender
consistently – we use our own innovative
techniques
 Be able to physically run the ball effectively by
double-teaming at the point of attack (the inside
and outside zones are also included)
 Have the capability to make immediate
adjustments during a game
 Create an offense that is hard to prepare for
because it is so multifaceted
 Use multiple formations and a multitude of plays
 Take what the defense gives us most all of the
time
 Spend quality time teaching individual technique
 Play Calling Philosophy
 Make sure the players are fundamentally
sound
 Spread the ball around to many players
 Call plays that get the players in a position to
succeed – if they make big plays, it’s a plus
 Put the ball where the defense is vulnerable
 Only audible when absolutely necessary
 Do everything we can to put the defense on
their heels
 Keep the ball from the defense if necessary (a
ball-control offense)
 Push the ball downfield and score points (if
you decide you have to get into a shootout)
How the Run System Is Set
Up
 Basic line splits
 The hole numbering

 NOTE: The Guard’s and Tackle’s

hands are even with the Center’s
shoelaces.

40 Series (Back on left-side)
46 Stretch
 Rule For the ball-carrier
Read the lineman’s helmet. If it’s on the inside, go outside.
If it’s on the outside, go inside

Outside Zone (Stretch)

I. The ball carrier has two reads; a point of attack
read, and a secondary read in certain cases.
II. Your 1st read is the first down-lineman from the
outside, in. Linebackers are not down linemen.
III. You go to your second read if that man (your
1st read) goes outside your blocker. Ask
yourself “is your read’s helmet inside or outside
your blocker?”
IV. If you go to your secondary read, that read
becomes the next down-lineman in, which will
be double-teamed.
V. You only get to make one cut; then you must
push the ball vertically up-field.
VI. Whether you are wrong or right on your read,
you make a choice and then must push the ball
Goal: To make the End show us right now exactly
where the football is going.
Right Tackle
1.) You must stretch his outside while grabbing his
inside with your inside hand. You are doing this so he
does not stretch you wide, and then throw you wide
and then slide up inside.
a. This must be drilled constantly!
2.) You must control his inside with your inside arm
and make him make a decision on going inside or
going outside right now. We don’t want the defender
just standing there – we have got to move him one
direction or the other.
 DT E

C RG RT

Goal: To double team the back’s number 2 read which in this case
is the Tackle (DT) so that we can control him should the End go
outside. Predominantly, the defensive tackle will be a better athlete
/ football player than the offensive guard. We will double the DT as
long as he doesn’t move. We need to help our guard with the
center. Now the backside Guard will attack the Nose.
Right Guard
1.) Your target area is the outside half of the DT. You will have help
on the inside with your Center (DEN call). You will block the
outside half of the DT and knock him off the ball. You are not
worried about him coming inside at all.
Center
1.) Your target area is the tackle’s (DT) helmet. You will drive him
until he disappears and /or then look for the backer plugging.
40 Series (Back on Left-side)
42 Read
 Rule For the ball-carrier
If your 1st read goes out or doesn’t move go behind him.
It now becomes a “roll-back” play. You only get to make one cut

Inside Zone (Read)

I. The ball carrier has two reads; a point of attack read,
and a secondary read in certain cases.
II. Your 1st read is the first down-lineman outside the
center. If there is a man on or shading the center, he is
NOT the read.
III. You only get to make one cut; then you must push the
ball vertically up-field.
IV. Whether you are wrong or right on your read, you make
a choice and then must push the ball up-field.
V. If the backside end is inside the backside tackle, you
will roll it all the way backside.
 Tight Zone (Read)
1) You must give the ball carrier a clean read every time.
2) If you have a combination block and are the inside
lineman, your aiming point is to put your helmet on the
defender’s helmet.
3) If you have a combination block and are the inside
lineman and have not made contact with the down
lineman after your first step, its now time to climb to the
second level – the ball is now rolling back behind you.
4) If you have a combination block and are the outside
lineman, you have the outside have of the defender. If
he goes outside, you now must lock you backside hand
because your help is climbing and the ball is rolling
back behind you.

 Special Situation
Throwing from a balanced
four or five-wide receiver set
 Special Situation:
Throwing From a Balanced
Four or Five-receiver Set
 When we get into a balanced, four or five-
receiver set such as Dallas, Houston, or
our Island Package, and we are running
“mirrored routes”, we will call the routes
as if they are a strong-side route
combination call (the inside receiver’s
route will be called first, followed by the
outside receiver’s route).
 An example of this type of play-call
would be “Dallas Right, 39 F Stab
Queen”. The protection call (Queen) will
alert the linemen that the play called is a
pass play, and not a thirty-series run
play.
“Dallas Right, 39 F Stab Queen”
Tagging Mirrored Routes
 When we are in a balanced
set running mirrored routes
and we want to change one
of the receiver’s routes in
the pattern, we “tag” it.

“Right”.
“Bali Right, 826 Flat - Hitch Gone”
 Switch Passes
(with Mirrored Routes)

 We’ll call Dallas Right Switch Left

(or Right) Quick 22
– The “left-side” receivers will run the
‘switch’ quick-2’s, and the other side
receivers will run the regular quick-2
routes.
Example: Dallas Right, Switch Left, Quick 22,
Queen
 Switch Passes
(with Complimentary Routes)
Perhaps when going no-huddle
 We’ll call
 “Dallas Right Switch Right 88-Dig,
Jack”
– Now the “right-side” receivers will run
the ‘Switch’ 8-routes, and the other
side receivers will run the regular
Square-in / Dig routes.
 You’re going to do this in no-huddle
type situations when you don’t want
to “flip” the formation.

Example: Dallas Right, Switch Right, 88 Dig,

 Switch Passes
(on both sides)
 We’ll call
 “Dallas Right Switch Spot – 7 F
Choice Jack”
– Both sides will run “Switch” releases and
run their respective routes. The outside
receivers are always HOT and peak into
the backfield as they run their routes.
– We call the pattern exactly like we would
if we were in a mirrored route situation
where we go inside out with the
numbers.
Example: Dallas Right, Switch, Spot – 7 F
Choice Jack
 Horse (hay) Passes
(H and Y Switch)

 We’ll call
 “Press Right Hay (Horse) 826 H Chase
Jack”
– Everyone does their route called except
now the H and the Y are “Switching”.

 We’ll call
 “Press Right Haze 863 H Shoot Jack
– Everyone does their route called
except not the H and the Z are
“Switching”.
Example: Press Right Haze 863 H Shoot Jack
 Seam Releases

 We’ll call
 “Dbl. Stack Right Seam 787 H Dig
Jack
– Seam tells the X and the Z to run Seam
Releases.
– Everyone does their route called and
now the X and the Z use Seam
Releases, while the H and the Y use
Burst Releases.
Example: Dbl. Stack Right Seam 787 H Dig
Jack
 Burst Releases

 We’ll call
 “Dbl. Stack Right Burst 45 F Choice
Jack
– Seam tells the X and the Z to run Burst
Releases.
– Everyone does their route called and
now the X and the Z use Burst
Releases, while the H and the Y use
Seam Releases.

 Basic pass protection

“Jack” and “Queen” calls – if we

want to get both backs out and
still employ a six-man
protection scheme.
Direction of release by the
backs
 The pass protection calls tell the backs
which side the release from
 This allows for a great deal of diversity in the
offense
 Examples
– Trex 839 F – V Queen: The back will line to the
strong side and release to the strong side due to
the protection call
– Crush 526 H Chase Jack: The back will line up
to the quick side and release to the quick side
due to the protection call
Example: Trex Right 839 F – V Queen
Example: Crush Right 526 H Chase Jack
Jack
 A “Jack” call free releases the
Back on the Strong-side.
– The other back will check release
to the “Quick-side.”
 The Center, Strong-side Guard,
and Tackle will block to the
strong-side.
 The Quick-side Guard and
Tackle will block to the Quick-
side, and the back will check
release to the Quick-side.
Queen
 A “Queen” call free releases the
Back on the Quick-side.
– The other back will check release
to the “Strong-side.”
 The Center, Quick-side Guard,
and Tackle will block to the
Quick-side.
 The Strong-side Guard and
Tackle will block to the Strong-
side, and the back will check
release to the Strong-side.
 Other protections
“Gone” gets both backs out of
the backfield using a five-man
protection scheme. You need to
build in HOT routes to one side
of the formation, while blocking
three to the other side.
“Gone” is just “Queen”
Protection for the linemen

Incorporating Two Separate
Sets of Progressions
 Similar to having two separate pass
plays in one play-call
– The QB comes to the line and decides
which two - three progression read to
go with

The Formation System
 When counting both right and left
formations, we have over 100
distinct formations that we can run
plays from.
– But because we are telling each player
(X, Y, Z, H, and F) specifically what to
do, we can move players to any of 5
different positions, giving us the
illusion of over 500 different
formations.
 This gives us the ability to take
advantage of specific match-ups.
 EXAMPLE:
– We can move our X receiver to the F position,
and have one of our best receivers coming
out of the backfield matched up with a
linebacker.
– We can move our F back to the X position,
giving us a good blocker on the perimeter
matched up against a cornerback.
 Scripting Our Formations

 We will script the first 15-plays with

15 different formations / (motions)
 We can tell what formations they
have not had time to prepared for,
and then attack them with those
formations
 Because of our stable terminology,
we can run the same play out of a
multitude of different formations
giving us a distinct advantage over
our opponents

 Shifting
 Shifting is a tactic used to either confuse
the opposition, or force them to run a
“base” defense, by showing a particular
offensive set, and then radically changing
that set before the snap of the ball.
 Shifting (Cont.) 2
 We will call a predetermined shift by
calling the formation that we want to shift
from first, followed by the formation we
will be shifting to, second. An example
would be “Near, Dallas Right”. In this
case, the term “Near” would tell the
players to line up in a “Near Left”
formation, and then shift to a “Dallas
Right” formation when the QB yells “Go”.
Near, Dallas Right
Shifting (Cont.) 3
 Another example would be in the
play-call “Dance – Maui Right”. In
this case, the eligible receivers will
line up in a “Dance Left” formation,
and then sprint to a “Maui Right”
formation when the QB yells “Go”.

How the Play Is Called
 Shift (possible)
 Motion (possible)
 Formation
 Play-call
– Blocking (master call in run game)
– Pass pattern (in passing game)
– Protection (in passing game)
 Snap count
– Red (on one), white (on two), blue (on three)
 What the Call Would Sound
Like If It Were a Run Play
 Hum – Dallas Left – 53 Read – on white, on
white – ready break.
– “Hum” would be the motion.
– “Dallas” would be the formation we want to end up
in.
– “54 Read” tells the back to line up on the right side
(5) and to run to the 3 hole and the blocking
scheme is “Read”.
– “On white” tells everyone the snap count is on two.
 If a player forgot the snap count at the line of scrimmage,
he would say “check – check” and he would be told
“white”.

What the Call Would Sound
Like If It Were a Pass Play
 Zoom – Dallas right – 866 H Post Queen,
on blue, on blue – ready break.
– Zoom tells the Z receiver to go in motion
across the formation.
– Dallas right is the formation.
– 866 tells the single receiver (X) to run a post
route, the inside receiver on the two-receiver
side (Y) to run a square-in route, and the
outside receiver on the two-receiver side to
run a square-in route.
What the Call Would Sound
Like If It Were a Pass Play
(cont.)
– H post tells the H receiver to run a post route.
– Because the F did not hear a route called for
him, he will automatically run a Swing route.
– Queen tells the line to zone the quick-side
and man the strong-side. This will release
the back on the quick-side into the pattern
right away. The remaining back on the strong
side will check release into the pattern.
– “On blue” tells everyone the snap count is on
three.
 If we wanted to audible to a different play, blue is
the live color since we called the count on blue.

 Play-action System
 Names of animals / reptiles will be used
to tell the offense what “action” is to be
performed in the play-action passing
game.
– Shark 6 / 7 = Spread Stretch Action
– Dragon 6 / 7 = Spread Read Action
– FOX 2 / 3 = Lead (ISO) action
– COUGAR = Counter action with Waggle
action by the quarterback
– ZEBRA = Outside Zone action with boot
action by the quarterback
– SPRINT = Move the pocket

Philosophy
 Teach incrementally rather than solely using a
holistic approach.
– Teach each player individual mechanics and
techniques.
 QB – Drops, WR – Routes, RB – Paths and Routes,
Line – Run block / Pass protections.
 Once each player knows exactly what to do, bring
groups together – then the entire offense
together.
 This saves a great deal of time down the road and
leads to better execution of the offense.
– Start with 40 minutes of individual teaching time, which
can be reduced to 15 minutes as the season
progresses.

Philosophy
 This is the foundation of this offense.
 Once each player knows exactly where to be and
what to do based on what he is told in the play-
call, the play will be executed as it was intended
every time.
– Using only the holistic approach (just running plays
and coaching “on the run”) will lead to individual
player breakdowns, and the offense will never be
precise.
 For example, a receiver will run the same route at
different depths, or the QB will take different drops
for the same pass.
 This will cut down drastically on the productivity of
the offense.
