You'll<br />see Tony not running much across the middle of the field, which would require a<br />quarterback to get a clear understanding of what he is seeing (to throw<br />Dig/Post/Shallow where a Rat would be).

Both are in major conferences, both are in recruiting hotbeds, and both have proud athletic traditions marked by 10-15 years of some serious underachieving--mainly by being the pesky little brother (fair assessment or not) to historical powerhouses (USC and Texas), but also because of athletic department/coaching incompetence in some instances.<br /><br />That said, in no way do I mean to undersell what Dykes. Actually, because of the advantages TA&M and UCLA naturally have, Dykes and Franklin's successes at La Tech in the last few years are far more impressive in that light. To put it in perspective, I've only begun to learn about the Air Raid no thanks to you and Chris over at Small Football, but Rob Likens WR drills, techniques, and route videos done for the Tony Franklin system are some of the most in-depth, well-put together videos I've seen for the position.endersgamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-79069592453071053192012-12-03T19:20:42.415-06:002012-12-03T19:20:42.415-06:00streamlining is never a bad thing.
I didn't ...streamlining is never a bad thing.<br /><br /><br />I didn't do a very good job, but this article was attempting to draw together the previous posts about Mazzone and Franklin's use of tempo and streamlining and their impact on defenses. We could go deeper in a James Burke-Connections type approach (hence the picture above) where all these trends are interrelated. The don't exist by themselves but as cause-effect byproducts. You could have 5+ man pressures but it doesn't much help with how these teams have been attacking, so there is no need to put an emphasis on extending protection (times).<br /><br /><br />By moving so fast, they reduce the picture needed to process and can sling it all they want because they'll immediately move on to the next play. If you slow it down, more will be required to make each play count. The tempo in part is what is helping them avoid negative yardage plays because they can keep defenses off balance.matthew brophyhttp://twitter.com/brophyfootballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-46109035393941510402012-12-03T16:26:58.851-06:002012-12-03T16:26:58.851-06:00Thank you for the reply!

Are you looking at having a field day at that point if the players are able to do their job?NoHuddleAirRaidForTheWinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-39485337417820665062012-11-29T18:11:09.066-06:002012-11-29T18:11:09.066-06:00the primary reason would be SPEED.
Like the numer...the primary reason would be SPEED.<br /><br />Like the numerical list attempted to illustrate, once you go down the rabbit hole selling out to the accelerated tempo the playbook has to be distilled and minimalized to operate at that speed. A by-product of living in an attack tempo for an ENTIRE game is that defenses simply don't blitz any more. Watch the La Tech games this year and see how many snaps they get more than 5-man pressures. On one hand there is not enough time to coordinate a decent pressure and the other would be how La Tech attacks the field with very little 5-step middle of the field concepts (most is perimeter levels).<br /><br />You could carry 7-man, 6-man protections, like the original Air Raid was designed but it wouldn't be efficient to move at the rate these teams operate. Its all related. What is important to note are the connections between the tempo, concepts, protections, and personnel groupings that make the entire package.<br /><br />http://articles.latimes.com/2012/nov/07/sports/la-sp-1107-louisiana-tech-offense-20121107brophyfootballnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887802820654018134.post-66288191224378311462012-11-29T16:56:21.037-06:002012-11-29T16:56:21.037-06:00Coach,

Is it an inconsistent back, an increase in practice reps, or flexibility?<br /><br />If you have a running back who is outstanding in pass protection, would you still recommend using 5-man pass protection exclusively?NoHuddleAirRaidForTheWinnoreply@blogger.com
