Defensively, we have to adjust to what you're doing. This can be a nightmare! However, these are three
of the most important things defensive coaches take into account when game-planning for your 8 man
offensive schemes. If you can think like a defensive coach and overcome these three keys, you'll be able
to score quicker and more often.
If we, defensively, do not match up with your 8 man football offense, we will be left “a man down” and all
you need to do is have one half a man more than us to seal an edge and run for a touchdown. In the
“Unbalanced” image, all a team would need to do is run a QB sweep to the right and the defense would
be in for a long night.
TIP: Find a way to make defenses unbalanced. You can try this by lining up overloaded, using pre-snap
motion, or even doing multi-player pre-snap shifts to confuse the defense.
TIP: Whether you employ a passing 8 man offense or not, have some audibles ready in case you see a
Corner/Receiver mismatch. These can be hitch routes, go routes, or a trusty slant.
You, as an offensive coordinator, have the same opportunity. Many teams struggle against Counter plays.
Defenses, especially fast ones like mine, “flow” too quickly and it is easy for them to overrun the play.
TIP: Equalize a defense's speed by using Counter and even trick plays to slow down a defense. Keep
them guessing! If they don't know where you're going to come from, they cannot blitz as much. And if they
do, you have a higher chance of catching them in a blitz with nobody there to stop your perfect play call.
