    *The base play of the formation, which can be run with or without motion. We run motion for the QB read to

    answer the question: Zone or Man? The premise is very simple: a) beat themto the flat, b) TB is blitz controlreceiver, c) The TE is the safety valve for zone or man secondary. He runs a flag, but if someone is in front ofhim, he comes back to the ball in the open space. d) one valve for trouble is the TB, who plants under theupright of the goal post after running his slant. Every other play fromthis formation is a hybred or sister play ofthe one before. You can catch the defense overplaying one version and hit themwith another.

    *Switch becomes the first play off the base play (slam). The only difference being that it's differentreceivers running the same Slamroutes. The TE runs to the flat, the SB runs the zone flag and the TBbecomes, in essence, the blitz control route. But, the route that usually opens up is the SB Flag route inthe back of the end zone after the TE clears the flat defender.

    *This is my personal favorite in short yardage when we know the secondary will be in man. Versus man toman coverage, we have completed this pass every time except one; dropped in the endzone in a tie game.The only difference is the SB blocks the Fullback's responsibility, while the FB slips out into the flat. Thedefender responsible for the SB takes himself out of the play by stepping down to cover him. Go on a quickcount, it's much more effective. NOTE: We usually put the FB in a Strong.

    *Teams would see ROCK motion and not chase the SB across, thus evolution occurred. The SB acts likehe is coming back to the formation, pauses, then releases into the opposite flat under a Split End slant.SE will turn back to the corner flag if covered. TE posts to the opposite upright for the safety valve.NOTE: FB aligns almost behind the QB cheating to the SE side of offensive line.

    *Defense becomes smart and chases SB across formation. Once again, out-fox the overplaying defense,have the SB take 3 steps in the flat turn & look for the ball, then turn upfield. The QB can hit the SB with acrisp, upfield pass. SE, uses the corner's inside integrity and takes himto the corner. TE decoys, while theTB runs the under route to the Goal Post. This is actually the route that won Super Bowl XXIII, Montana toTaylor vs. the Bengals.

    *Again, outsmart the defense. When people overplay the slant & flat route to the SE side, give them ahard slant with a SE choice to stop and come back outside to catch the ball. This is a great Red Zoneroute and an easy throw. TE runs to the opposite goal post and the SB runs under everyone to play ashallow safety valve.

    *Allowing yourself to use the formation in the middle of the field gives your receivers confidence inside the

    Red Zone. Here are some routes, that are QB friendly at midfield. The best trips route that I have found inthe last 20 years is the under route. TB runs upfield, allows the clearing, then slants under a TE post & aSB out. SE runs a read route on the opposite side. Great route in the open field. TE can Flag if FS isplaying centerfield. When the FS LB runs with the TE, the TB becomes WIDE open in his absense. Youcan 1/2 roll out to this, or just run normal drop back passing.

    *The Under route stretches the defense vertically, then dumps the ball under the coverage. Wheelstretches the coverage vertically, but moreso horizontally. Receivers are set far fromthe sideline, Wheelutilizes this space. SB runs a wide wheel route to horizontally stretch the corner and Strong Safety. TEruns a good, 12 yard out route, but continues route to the sideline behind the SS. TB runs a deep post,but cuts off the route if FS is playing deep. The Read route on the backside is always in the equation.

    Read Route

    *In the Middle of the field, this is the best route for ball control and out of the hole potential. Most

    teams, as we discussed, will use a 3 deep secondary. They cannot cover this route. A TB under routekeeps LB's fromdeep hook/ curl coverage. A deep Flag or Post by the TE stretches the C and FS. But,the most amazing route is the deep dig. The SB must widen his route off the snap to 12 yards, stop anddig inside to the hash....ball is on it's way, thus a first down. I have yet to see the pass to the Dig battedaway, unless the defense is in Man coverage. If they are in man, the Under route is #1 priority.

    *The most QB friendly route read of the midfield package. QB drops back, stares down the Free Safety. Ifthe Free Safety hammers down on the middle curl route, throwover the top. He drops, throw between theLB's. If in trouble, throwdeep to the SB or the ever flowing tree of reads to the SE. The straight drop backof the QB will split the LB's allowing for a great seamfor the TE.

    *Flood and Drag are the two combinations where the formation becomes balanced. SB motion creates amajor adjustment by the coverage, where seams in the defense are naturally found. The SB uses motionand wheels up the sideline behind a skinny post/ curl read fromthe SE. TE runs a shallow drag routebehind the LB's and the SB posts behind the Free Safety.

    *This package allows a safe route against man or zone. Motion will communicate which coverage the

    defense is in when a Linebacker or D back chases or rotates. If it's man, either the comeback or the postcorner are excellent, but if it's zone, the corner is in a bind. Lastly, the deep crossing route is difficult tocover in any situation and even tougher when it's a receiver with speed.

    *We utilize two specials. Flare uses two methods of thought. A) This is a great short yardage play, wherethe TE will be wide open after the short flat area is wide open fromthe Strong safety flying to the Flareroute. B) Or this is a game breaker because the Free Safety overplays the flag leaving the BS Post open.If you have a great Split End, this is a huge play. If you need 5 yards, the TE will get it for you. If thesecondary does not honor the Flare, toss it to himfor 10 yards.

    and completely confuses defenses. We start in the normal Bunch (Right B) set. On first sound, we SHIFT.TE-Trades, SE- steps back, SB- Steps up. Then, we will motion the TB across to the other side. Here's thething, we have run this play without the shifting and it's just as successful. The play will be shown on thenext diagramdown fromthis one. The shift is shown below.

    2nd portion ofabove play...

    *After the shift and motion across, the TE acts like he slips and falls, delaying for a moment. The TE then

    explodes across the formation and is wide open on the opposite flank. This is the best "Lifesaver" REDZONE play we have found over the last 3 years. You can also run the normal sprint out (Strike) pass to thatside also. If the teamisn't ready for the SHIFT and the FLY motion, then the TB will be open in theopposite flat. **As you can tell, our QB is left handed at the moment. If he's right handed, the play will berun the opposite direction.

    *Depending on your offense, we have found 7 running plays that complement our offense out of the Bunch(Right B) formation. The first play is a power QB keep with many people out in front of him. USC would beproud. The SB and the TE double the D End, then combo off to the LB. TB sprints off the line and stalksthe Corner. FS guard pulls and leads up in the hole, usually blocking the Free Safety. The FB kicks outthe force player and the QB rolls and carries the ball into the 8 hole.

    *We run this play two ways: 48 Pitch and 48 Pitch Crack. Reason: Seeing 7 or 8 man fronts. If it's a 7man front with a force player, we crack back on the force, while the Guard kicks out the deep 1/3 player. Ifit's an 8 man front, like a 5-3, we block it normal with the Guard leading up into the hole and the TB stalkblocking the 1/3. This full flow play becomes huge with our counters.

    *From the onset, we explained that our offensive philosophy is the Wing T. The Down scheme out of theBelly is our #1 play. When teams widen their D Ends to stop the roll out passing game, the Fullback Downscheme becomes very effective. In the NEWBunch package, we can still run this play, while running ALLof the other Bunch schemes. We could not run this play out of the "old" bunch set. This full flow play alsois the reason why our counters are so effective.

    *Using 48 Pitch and 14 G as your full flowplays, 11 Counter can become a huge game breaker. We blockthe counter with some special rules on the SE side by influencing the Guard out. If he's uncovered, hisrule is to block down. On the TE side, the uncovered player pulls and kicks out, while the TE pulls andleads thru the hole. The SB receives the inside handoff and up in the 1 hole. FB fakes 14 G and peelblocks the man over the pulling TE.

    Bunch Plays: Run Offense*Since this counter is already in our play selection, we run this for a wider counter using Trey blocking.

    The rules are the same for the TE side blockers. The uncovered Guard or Tackle pulls and kicks out. TheTE pulls and leads thru the 5 hole. The SB receives an outside handoff and follows the TE thru the 5hole. If you Wing T nuts want a GREAT counter pass off of this, give me a shout.

We can still run it out of this formation, where we couldn't from theold. In our Bunch set, we utilize Twirl motion, or Slam for the SB, to lead on the FS LB. For those whodon't know the midline, we read the first player on or outside the nose of the playside guard. For moreinformation on the Midline, email me.

    *One of the most productive packages in our Bunch set is the 3 Step Drop. The two things that you want to

    accomplish with this is to a) Pick the side you want to control, then control it by using motion. When youmotion across the formation, you have a 2 X 2 formation that has 18 yards of use on 2 sides of it. b)Simplicity: We only run 3 combinations of Bunch- 3 Step routes. Our 3 Step Drop protections are Maxand Tank. Max = FB blocks outside leg of tackle AWAY fromthe TE, TE stays to block. Tank = FB blocksto the TE, TE releases for pass and SB or TB blocks away fromTE.

    *When you motion across the formation, you create a 2 X 2, balanced alignment, Cover 3 becomesdistorted and can be attacked with great ease. When we motion across, we watch the secondary and throwaway fromthe movement. If they don't move, then throwto the motion, it's that simple.

    *Lastly, opponents have tried to run Cover 2 vs. the bunch. a) They can't cover 2 deep people on one side,

    b) the hook to curl zone becomes open, and c) They can't stop the run. We do have 2 routes vs. Cover 2that are a huge advantage. Route A) is a simple Wheel with an out route under it. The second places theSafety in conflict where he has to play honest. Find me a LB that can get under these routes 50% of thetime, and I'll be the first to call a Division I school. This play actually is two plays at once. If we block Tankprotection, the motion back will stay in to block away from the TE.
