Yeah I've become obsessed with it. I see it so often at the NFL and D1 level. IZ, OZ, Duo and Power are really all you need as an OC... You can do so much with those 4 concepts 🤓 (my opinion)
Super great stuff ! Growing a new channel is always a tough especially with the saturation of football media but with breakdowns like this I’ve got no doubt you’ll find an audience.
Well done video. The WR technique is typically a push crack or the WR pushes toward the CB for 5 yd to get him to backpedal then crack the safety who is typically a better tackler. Would love to see some all 22 tape to be able to see all the techniques on the field
Appreciate the feedback! These main few videos I have on the channel (IZ, OZ, Duo, etc. were created so long ago, I need to update them with new things I've learned and maybe include some more detailed sections like the techniques. Not sure how much the algorithm will like that though lol
The way I learned it and how I teach it to my players... you read the playside LB, not the backside. Press the PSG and then cut off the PS LB. But I'm sure there are coaches who teach it differently and still have success with it, I just don't know any other method 😅
I had to watch this again to make sure I'm not losing my mind 😂😂😂 I think there may be some confusion with playside and backside...the Alabama clip playside is left, reading #40...with the Denver clip, playside is right, reading #59?? (Can't tell. Film not clear enough). Both times the playside inside LB is the read key with the way I'm teaching it. Let me know if this makes sense! If not I gotta change up how I'm communicating this
@@americanfootballacademy1741 Ah yes I’m with you now thanks. th-cam.com/video/mvs5-_L_ddQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q9n83oOa-bnNqHtC I watched this a while ago and maybe got confused because they talk a lot about numbering the backers and ID’in the Mike and a lot of the time it would be the “Will” and it seemed like the read would be a backside linebacker in my mind, maybe I need to watch again 😅 Keep up the great work 👍🏽😎🇬🇧
As a fan of a team, the Los Angeles Rams, that is increasingly using Duo I appreciate you explaining it. I am a medium knowledgeable fan but not big on the x's and o's. I appreciate your video but suggest maybe you try to be aware of using a lot of lingo that a standard fan like me might not understand.
Appreciate the feedback!! Will work to improve that over time. Also, I'm working on a course for fans ;) You'll see that on the channel when it's released. Should help to fill in some of these knowledge gaps and skyrocket your Football IQ 🤓🤓
Let's go. Read that PS backer. But idk how realistic that read will actually be in the game. I haven't been able to play this yet. Last time I was able to regularly play this (or Madden) was a long a$$ time ago... And now when I play I always get crushed by my buddy who watches TH-cam videos showing him every glitch in the game. I do all this studying just to get smacked by a guy who knows nothing about football (André, in case he reads this 😂). Do better than me!
I think the simplest way to envision the difference is the direction of the blockers. Duo is gap scheme. Imagine power... How everyone on the front side is blocking back. Now just remove the puller and you have duo. Inside zone you'll normally see all the OL stepping towards the direction of the run. There's obviously a lot more to it than that, but maybe that helps to clear up the differences. Another great learning method is to draw up the same formation vs 2 or 3 different fronts and then apply the blocking rules for each concept (IZ vs DUO).
Why is Duo always run out of these heavy formations? It seems like if you spread them out wide and use a sniffer, you should be able to run it into a lighter box. This would also let you read an end and RPO a jail screen to the back side. Am I missing something?
I normally run it out of 11 personnel. 3 wrs, allows you to pair it with quick game or a single wr glance. I don't remember if I talked about that in the video. Generally teams use it from this heavy look because in short yardage, it's a great play. Allows for good angles and forces corners to tackle. With the OL knowing the leverage they want and the read being 2nd level, makes it a great play for 1-2 yards. But for sure, the majority of the time I use it is from a 3 wr set. You do need the fullback or TE in there though. Can't run it without unless you option the C gap defender.
american-football-academy.com/the-concept-library This is a new resource I have that shows every concept vs a ton of different looks. Simple answer though, if everyone is gap down, you end up with double teams on the Nose to the backside LB from the C and PSG, BSG and BST take DE to edge LB, then you'd have to define your rules for how you want the playside to handle it. I like having my PST step inside more vertical. If the DE crosses face, we drive him while getting help from the TE (in the win position) up to the playside LB. And you'd need an extra body to pick up playside edge OR you could have PST man up DE, TE in wing takes Sam and you insert a blocking WR into the B gap up to the Mike. Tons of ways you can vary each of these options though. Hope this helps.
I love the way you teach, and add film, keep up the good work
Appreciate it man! Let me know if there's anything you want me to do a video on!
One of my favorite run concepts

Love your channel and videos 👍🏽😎
I thought the back read the back side linebacker so for example in your first play he would be reading the M??
The way I learned it and how I teach it to my players... you read the playside LB, not the backside. Press the PSG and then cut off the PS LB. But I'm sure there are coaches who teach it differently and still have success with it, I just don't know any other method 😅
@@americanfootballacademy1741 fair enough I thought in the clips you showed the backers and you correctly read the backside linebackers anyway 😅
I had to watch this again to make sure I'm not losing my mind 😂😂😂

Love this breakdown, Coach. Thank you. What program are you using to draw this up though?
Glad to hear. This is just PowerPoint and hudl. And I just plug in a cheap ($20) drawing pad. Wacom or something like that. Gets the Job done

Bro thank you I’ve been playing ncaa and they keep calling this play and I can never get any yards thank you 🙏🙏🙏

how do u run this vs a 3 man front??
