The Shovel Pass with Tags in the Gun Offense

For Xmas I got this dvd and I immdiately watched it when I got home. Ken Leonard and John Allison from Sacred Heart Griffin do an excellent job both with their football program and this dvd.

Here is an example of Hawaii running the shovel pass.


You willnotice that Colt Brennan invites the defense upfield and throws an under hand pass that looks very similar to an option pitch to the rb.


Here is another example of the shovel pass but Florida will fake the fly sweep and run what they call crazy option away from the fly action.




Leonard and Allison add the following tags to their shovel plays:

All of their shovel plays blocking schemes are Power O

Offensive Formation 3x1
Shovel Option the rb/f runs the shovel look that is posted above and number three gets into pitch relationship with the qb. The read key is the 5 technique to the man over number 3. If the five technique squeezes down on the downblock of the tackle then the qb pulls and attacks the invert/overhang. Option rules apply

Shovel Bubble Same rules as above but number three runs a bubble. Easy flip for the qb and this play truly stretches the defense horizontally

Shovel Now which I think is the least effective of the three. It is the shovel to a rocket type screen to number 1.

Overall, I think this dvd is a good buy and I would suggest to anyone who is looking for something different to add to their coaching aresenal.
