Fly offense?
Question
Hi, I'm a highschool level player, in Canada. We played with a fly offense and I was wondering what it requires to be successful. we had 2 5'11 and about 200 pounds running backs/full backs and two good receivers but we didn't pass at all and every run type offense that wasn't up the middle failed horribly. As well as a terrible offensive line. We ran out of a 3-6 defense and our quarterback didn't have enough time to do a 3 second drop back pass our defensive line was on top of them, What offense would you recommend?
Answer
Dear Stephen,
I do not think that the offense you are running is the problem; I think you need a new line coach. However, if you want to make a change we will make a change. Here is what you do.
Line up in a, Double Wing, no split formation. That means that your linemen will line up foot to foot (no gaps). You should be able to run the fly sweep, counters, and play action passes out of this formation. It is not going to fix all your problems but at lease it is a start.
Let me know what you think.
Your friend, Coach Louis.
