3 Down WarWin that war and move to the next one

MTCMove The Chains

Allergic to turnovers

Fumble in a game, they are out and wont be back

Fumble in practice, they run, someone else takes their reps

Fans love to see the football in the air because they can see it.

If You Cant Deal

You Need

To CoachIn An

Orphanage

If it isnt perfect, it needs to be improved

Coach one player,

Every rep

Every play

Every day

Happy OffenseEveryone gets to block

Good FB is a guy who doesnt fall down

FBs stay in the funnel

FBs make cut on 2ndstep If its cloudy, put your shoulders down and get us 4 yards.

BYOBBe Your Own Blocker

Dont care about DL who go upfield

Pull at 45 degrees and get feet and butt out of the way

QB-clear midline and push ball back to FB with one hand

Push ball back as far as he can

Put hand in and get it out fast to maintain same speed

Fake two hands to the HB

Rock cradle when faking

Dont get tackledIf tackled, no longer faking, we want people to run with

him.

QB-hand on hip-Key is energy out of the ride.

Fake with eyes

Look at exchange from other side

Run trap at soft spot in the defense

As a rule, look outside the end and count to see what plays to run

End and Corner outside, run sweep and pass

7/25/2019 2005 Constantine Clinic Notes

2/3

End, Corner, and Safety outside, run in the middle

Open hand fake to HB on 20 series.

Block every front under the sun.

Go into Wing and FS moves to the Strong side

Teams slide into a 2i and 5 and leave a natural ISO

This is what we do and we are going to do it well

Wing-t Basics

Why does it work?

It allows us to focus our off-season work on the development of athletes,

rather than the development of skill.

Repetition Simplicity, kids play with confidence

It is a linemans offense

Attacks the entire field from one formation

Off-Tackle Play

Good FB is a guy who doesnt fall down

Co-Ops (Doesnt Double Team)

Make sure you take care of business at the LOS

Co-op the widest guy from the POA

Always get to the 2ndlevel if your removed from POA

Spend a lot of time J-blocking and Hooking

First step is straight ahead on J-block with the outside foot. This gives us a good inside-out angle

Keep ball wrapped

Bends FB into first seem A gap out

HBs dont run outside the tunnel

QB is deep on the midline so the handoff is at 90 degrees

QB needs great energy after the ride.

Off-Tackle play is an I formation ISO with an extra man blocking and energy on

the outside

Four yard gain is a great football play

If your making 1stdowns, the defense starts to crumble, then you hit home

runs

Keep

QB-race to the HB-Energy out of ride-hold edge and keep if off of the off-tackle

play.

Any midline run through is taken by FB

Quarterback Play

Who?

7/25/2019 2005 Constantine Clinic Notes

3/3

Leader (Confidence)

Worker (Spends far more skill time than other positions)

Playmaker rather than a thrower

Quickness is most important attribute

Keys to running the Keep

Great mechanics Energy

Downhill out of the ride

Great backside play

(Got to be able to run the off-tackle play)

Two key mechanics parts to offense

Mesh between QB and FB

Accelerate through mesh and deposit the ball without making it look

different

Ride on Keep

Ball is in and strong and HB is on it and strong

Eyes go in to HB HB selling on fake

Pump hand with no ball in it

Keep ball on hip for at least two steps, by third step the ball is out.

If your QB can defeat one defender with his feet, he cant be defended.

Throw on the run

CONSTANTINE COACHES

Bag Drills

18" bags (6) and a cone for the finish

High knees, shuffle (sideways) touching each bag, Shuffle in and out of bags

(shoulders square), Sprint through (Strides)

Backs (Sometimes will take TEs)

Use a center on every play

Handoff Drill

Done on a line on the practice field

No gap between QB and FB

Also do without FB so they learn to run hard without he FB

Practice with J-blocks at the same time

1ststep on J-block is straight ahead

Also work hook blocks

Have ends fire upfield, Backs must learn to read and react

Done with and without shields

Use hands
