I've been extremely busy this week with creating a ton of football resources and school and blah blah blah blah. But I had to get something posted so here is a quick list of great clinic speakers I have seen and recommend.
For those of you that know me well, you know that clinic season is one of my favorite seasons of the year. Early football season, late football season, bowl season, and the thanksgiving season (the wednesday through sunday) are my favorite seasons of the year.
So for the fellow clinic season enthusiasts, here are some of the speakers i recommend seeing.
Duane Carlisle, ex- S&C coach, 49ers. Carlisle had some good S&C stuff. But what I got most out of him was the way he carried himself. Coach Carlisle was extremely genuine and humble. His first slide on his presentation was a list of people he thanked for the great opportunities he has been given in life. I had never seen that and it had a great impact on me. Great guy, great coach.
Blake Miller, OL, Utah. Outstanding info and he also had great film and resources. I picked up my pass pro vs even defenses (which will be explained in a later blog) from him.
Mike Sanford, OC, Louisville. Clever, clever stuff. Like Miller, he also had good film to accompany his material. 90% of my flash/flow series (will also be explained in a later blog) is from him.
Billy Best, OL, West Texas A&M. arguably my favorite clinician ive seen. Dont think ive ever laughed so hard in a clinic session. But he also had great material and was very informative. Very personable guy and was very interactive with the audience.
Will Hewlett, QB Academy. Hewlett was a great speaker. And the QB academy stuff is top notch. Definitely recommend the QB academy to anyone working with qbs.
Nick Rapone, DC, Delaware. Great coach, answered questions well, outstanding teacher of his material.
Will Plemons, DL, Fresno State. I only got to see him for a little bit, but coach Plemons was outstanding. Everything i liked about Billy Best was also present in Coach Plemons. The two are very alike, and very good clinicians.
Marcel Yates, DBs, Boise State. Mind-blowing. Coach Yates showed us the ins and outs of Boise's quarters coverage and it was awesome. Amazing stuff. He was also very personable and helpful.
Scott Huff, FBs & TEs, Boise State. Great, great stuff. good info, good films. My buddy next to me was so excited and jonesing to work with olinemen during Coach Huff's session i thought he was gonna stand up and yell "HALLELUJAH!"
Steve Broussard, WRs, Arizona State. Great combination of scheme and practice stuff. humorous, insightful, solid.
Greg Jones, HC, Kearny HS, Missouri. This guy was phenomenal. Everyone who came out of his session was raving about his stuff. He's a bayou boy from southern Louisiana and is full of million dollar quotes. Great guy, high energy, loves chattin with ya, great, great clinician and coach.
Rick Stewart, HC, Porterville. Although I haven't sat in a full session of his, I have hung around the guy enough to know that he is a great man and a great coach. He's probably the hottest coach in the Central Valley right now, as he turned around a mediocre program into a force.
Although i didnt see his sessions, i have met Dub Maddox and he is a great guy and i hear even better things about his coaching. And again, all of the qb academy guys are good.
Those are some I recommend (that ive seen). I also hear of many other coaches to see but havent yet. I hear Coach Jerry Campbell and Tim Murphy are phenomenal, but i have yet to see either. I probably should, seeing as we live in the same neighborhood.
Hope this was helpful and I hope you take the time to see anyone I mentioned.
And hopefully things will slow down here in a week or two and i can get a really insightful post out. someday.

Maximizing playcalling- minimizing rules for the OL while maximizing play concepts
Glad to finally post something real. 1st real post:
Maximizing playcalling- minimizing rules for the OL while maximizing play concepts.
In this post i will be going over multiple plays to run out of a simple power blocking scheme.
G-Power is one of the most widely used running concepts in all of football. PS blocks down, FB kicks out the EMLOS (end man on line of scrimmage), and guard leads through B gap. simple.
Heres how to do more in the backfield with that blocking.
In my zone system, there are 4 main run blocking series- IZ (_2/_3), OZ (_8/_9), Power (_4/_5) and Counter (_6/_7). Now, theres also about a half dozen zone read tags (which i'll cover in another post sometime), but these are the 4 basic run blocking plays the OL must learn. Thats it! its that simple.
The way to expand off of these is with tags.
So without further due, here is my Power series.
24/25
This is your basic power, as described above.
rules-
Unblocked defender- 1st past the 5 tech
PS T- Combo 2/3 tech to backer, #2 defender PS (cannot be the read!)
PS G- Combo1 tech to backer, combo 3 tech to backer, #1 defender PS
C- Help (Combo Nose/ PS 1 tech, BS 1/2i tech to backer)
BS G- Pull & lead through B gap
BS T- Alley (2/3/4i/4 tech to backer)
H Back- Kickout 1st defender outside B gap
A Back- shuffle step PS, Downhill following BS G
Y (tight end)- PS: #3 defender PS (cannot be the read!). BS: Alley (5/6 tech to backer)
Wideouts- Dog corners
Qb- Reverse Pivot, give ball to A back, Boot
The OL, Y, and WO blocking assignments stay the same for all plays in the power series.
examples-
"I Rt 24"
"Wing Rt Bull 24"
even from the gun (although the A back steps change slightly- must take a step forward, and then across qb to mesh and then gets downhill)
"Gun Lt 24"
Next play in the series is 14/15. The 10 series plays are qb carries, so 14/15 is qb power.
QB power is ran from the singleback series, out of the gun. A back kicks out the end instead of the H, And QB runs ball instead of the A back.
examples-
"Gun Rt Trey 14"
"Gun Rt Flex 14"
After 14/15 and 24/25, tags are placed. On all of the tagged plays, the unblocked defender becomes a read (instead of being kicked out by a back)
the first tag is OPTION.
14/15 Option is speed option. Qb attacks the read and should be pitching it to the A back who is maintaining pitch relationship.
"Gun Rt Flex 14 Option"
"Gun Left Trio 14 Option"
The next tag is the "dash" concept. However, I call it EDGE so that it doesn't interfere with my flash/flow series. It also reminds back that he is going to the edge, not the qb. There is no pitch man.
"Gun Left Flex 24 Edge"
Another tag is a spin off of the Flash/Flow series (i'll cover that in another post i suppose).
Flash/Flow are jet read plays. with 14/15 FLOW, the qb reads the end exactly like he would on edge, but the give goes to the jet motion rather than the A back.
"Gun Rex Flex Jet 14 Flow"
The last tag i got for ya is if you wanna be sexy/
SHOVEL.
The ode to Urban Meyer, ye olde shovel.
14/15 Shovel.
The read is the exact same as veer. QB aims outside of the read. If read follows, he shovels to the back cutting underneath. If read squeezes, QB runs option with pitch back.
"Gun Lt 14 Shovel"
Just as with Veer, the slot can be the pitch back
"Gun Lt Slot 14 Shovel"
So thats all. you can fiddle with em as you please, use receivers to crack, whatever.
Hope it was either helpful, insightful, or at least not a waste of your time.
