Hey Coach,
Lots of coaches are looking for ways to speed up their offense in between plays.
Adding one word play calls to your offense can give you some of the quickest transitions between plays!
Today we’re going to talk about why Bixby OC Tyler Schneider and his staff (who have won 6 consecutive State Championships) love the one word calls so much, ESPECIALLY the added benefits they learned about once they finally USED IT.
Coach Schneider put together an entire 6-part series on their offense, and it’s one of the many things you’ll find in our Annual Video Pass.
4 Secret Benefits of One Word Play Calls
There are many obvious reasons why one word calls can be effective against a defense, but Coach Schneider also shared 4 things that he and the staff started noticing pretty quickly after they started using these.
1. More Practice of Our Base Plays – Bixby uses their best plays as part of their one word package, which means they end up practicing what they’re good at even more each week, even if the one word call runs the scheme out of a different look.
2. Comfort and Confidence of Running Against All Fronts & Coverages – Because they are running their base plays, and because the defense may not have a perfectly defined look when you are going really fast, this has allowed their players to feel very good about running their base calls against whatever the defense can throw at them.

3. Can call next play before previous play ends (no play direction in call) – Bixby doesn’t use left/right calls in their one word play calls, it’s either a single formation or flipped to the field or boundary. That actually lets this offense go even faster, since Coach Schneider can have his offense bust a 40 yard run, and before the runner is tackled, he can have another play call ready.
4. Limiting concepts, increases complexity – Bixby usually tries to carry only 10 of these calls each season. But since they only have 10, that means each week they can dress it up all different ways, so it looks totally different to the defense but it’s the same base play their players have been practicing since the spring.
