How much time do you spend drawing up intricate route combinations, only to have your quarterback get confused about where to go with the ball? Most coaches install dozens of pass concepts to attack different coverages, but the reality is, your play-calling decisions should be much simpler than that.
It all comes down to one fundamental question: are they in man or zone? Because once you know that answer, football gets real simple, real quick.
When you master tempo, you control the game. That’s why we’re so excited about our latest release: The No Huddle Blueprint: The Complete Series
Man vs Zone: Simplifying Your Play Calling
When you think about zone coverage, there are 16 different areas a defense needs to defend with only 11 players. That’s why zone teams have to make choices – they literally can’t cover everything. The advantage automatically goes to us as an offense because we know where those weak spots are going to be.
Man coverage seems simpler for the defense, but it comes with its own problems. The advantage goes to the offense because we know where we’re going and they don’t. Defense is inherently reactive. If this receiver is running an out cut, he knows that before the defender does.
Against zone, we’re attacking spaces. Against man, we’re attacking matchups. It’s that simple. When we see man coverage, football gets real simple real quick – now it’s just about getting to our best win rep. When we see zone, we just need to identify if they’re playing with soft corners or hard corners, and we have specific plays ready for each.
