Talking Football with Coach McKie

The Wing-T is the world's worst offense. Nothing but foot to foot splits... ...running into a loaded box... ...and coaches wearing tight shorts while screaming "Run da ball" But...the ONE THING Wing-T offenses have going for them is their play calling. The 'If/Then' play calling style is something that a lot of coaches WISH the Air Raid Offense had. Well, now it does.

What do you do when you discover the BEST Air Raid Screen of all time while searching YouTube? You do everything in your power to get the coach who created the screen onto a Live Coaching Clinic. And that's what I did. On today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie, I talk with the GREAT Coach George Coltharp. We dive deep into the Air Raid, what works, what doesn't work, and more.

Spring ball is over with. The Offensive has been installed... ...the players KNOW what to expect... ...and now it's time to iron out the rough points. But what are the rough points? What was learned during Spring Ball that will propel us forward? Was it a new play? Was it a new offensive philosophy? Or was it all of the above? Find out on today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

The Air Raid Quick Game is the LIFEBLOOD of the Spread Air Raid Offense. It helps get the ball to your play makers the ball quickly... ...AND gets them in space fast. But what happens when defenses do everything in their power to stop your Spread Air Raid Quick Game? Do you pack it in and not run it? Of course not! You use this amazing Air Raid READ Screen to make them pay. And that's what we talk about in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie.

Want to discover the BEST AIR RAID screen to run in a game? I'm talking about a screen that will DESTROY defenses AND protect your RPO game? Of course you do. And that's why you are going to listen to today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie. Because we are talking about the beautiful crack screen.

I can't STAND the Wing-T offense. The foot to foot splits. The NEVER throwing the ball. The BORING practices. BUT... ...I love the Wing-T philosophy of play calling. Having a system of 'If/Then' statements which allows you to ATTACK the defense. That's something I can get behind. And that's what I talk about in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

So many coaches want to run the Spread Air Raid Mesh concept but don't know how. They want to know which way is the best: Mumme's, Leach's, or June Jone's. They want to know what the reads our. They want to know how long it takes to install. They have all of these questions but they can't find any of the answers. Until now! Because the man Coach Drew Piscopo goes in depth on the Spread Air Raid Mesh concept on today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie. You'll lea

The Spread Air Raid Mesh Concept is THE BEST passing concept there is in all of football. (If you don't believe me then we are going to fight.) But how should you run the concept? Should you run it the Hal Mumme way? The Mike Leach way? Or the way other ways smart coaches have come up with? Well... ...this spring I've discovered how NASTY the Air Raid Mesh Concept is when you run it the Lincoln Riley way. And that's what I talk about in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie.

The Spread Air Raid Offense is all about 'finding grass, taking grass'. Meaning...your players will sit in open 'space' or windows when they find them. This way your players are ALWAYS open. But what happens when your players don't know how to sit in open windows? Then your offense can stall......you won't score points...and you will have to 'take the L'. But we are going to fix that. Because we have drills you MUST RUN ever single day to get better at finding grass.

Everyone wants to pass the ball in the Air Raid Spread Offense... ...but many coaches don't know how to set up their Pass Protection. Do you use Big on Big? Full Slide? Half Slide? Roll out? All of them? If you have these questions floating through your head and it's giving you trouble, then you are in luck. Because on today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie, we are talking about Simplifying the Pass Protection.

Are you struggling in the Spread Offense? Do you find your players aren't quite getting the concepts? Well...maybe it isn't them and it's YOU! YOU might be using too many concepts. YOU might be using too many tags. YOU might be using too many formations. But don't worry. Because we are going to talk about how to simplify the Spread Offense in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

To be a GREAT offensive coordinator you must know what the defense is trying to do. That means you MUST study the defense. And the best way to do that is to learn from the GREATS. Coach Jerry Gordon is one of those greats. And I've learned a ton from him. That's why it's my pleasure to have him on today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie.

The Run and Shoot offense is a NASTY OFFENSE because the wide receivers will always be open. And the Five-Wide formation is NASTY because you spread the defense sideline to sideline. So what happens when you combine the two? And devastating offense that always offenses to SCORE AT WILL! Interested? Good. Because that's what we talk about today on Talking Football with Coach McKie.

The Inside Zone Scheme is what most teams in high school and college hang their hat on. It allows offenses to protect EVERY gap and to play the RPO game with the defense. But what happens when your running back can't run the Inside Zone Scheme correctly? Do you get rid of the play? Heck no! You use this simple Inside Zone drill I talk about on today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

Does your quarterback struggle with his footwork? Is he just not throwing on the last step of the drop? Are your routes not matching up with his footwork? Then you need to listen to today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie.  Because we are talking with Coach Grady Breen.
