Talking Football with Coach McKie

It pains me to say this... ...but defensive coaches are smart people. They study the latest offensive trends... ...figure out what DRIVES offensives crazy... ...and put that plan into place. BUT there are some trends I hope defensive coaches don't use. And that's what I talk about in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

Is the defense catching on AND stopping your Pin and Pull scheme? Do you wish you could READ a different defender in the Pin and Pull RPO to keep the defense on its toes? Want to turn the Pin and Pull RPO into a Midline-type play? If you answered 'Yes' to any of the following questions then this episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie is for you. Because today we are diving into THREE TAGS you can use with your Pin and Pull RPO.

Everyone loves the Air Raid Shallow Cross concept because it gets the ball to a play maker in space. But... ...there is always confusion on HOW to install the Air Raid Shallow Cross concept. Do you run it with a Post? Or do you use a Curl? Should you run an Out Route in the Air Raid Shallow Cross? Or should it be an option route? That's what we are talking about in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

Do you go against teams that run a 4-4 defense? Do they spin down to a one-high safety? Do they decide to go man-to-man and say "Bring it on." And are you confused about how to attack them?

Because we are talking with the GREAT Coach Patrick Taylor.

I've noticed a horrible trend happening on Twitter... ...a trend that's slowly tearing the coaching community apart. And it's something we can do to stop it. What am I talking about? Hypocrisy. How do we fix it? That's what I talk about on today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie

Do you struggle to run the ball? Does the defense seem to have an answer for EVERYTHING you do? Are you giving your players the tools they need to be successful in the running game? If you answered 'NO' to any of these questions then you are in luck... ...because today I'm talking with Coach Roger Holmes. Last year, Coach Holmes's team RUSHED for over 3,300 yards and averaged 35 points per game. How? By running a modified version of the Wing-T.

Do you want an edge over a team that DOESN'T rely on changing your scheme? Do you want to create SUPERIOR blocking angles for your team to gain an advantage? Do you want to pack the box to get a better One-on-One for your STUD wide receiver? Then you NEED to listen to today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie.

The NCAA Championship game was a let down. It was over by the first quarter.

To become a great coach you need to reflect on the previous season. And since this is a new year (2019) then it's the perfect time to learn from my mistakes. (So you don't make the same ones I did.) On today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie, we talk about the 3 Lessons I learned from the 2018 season.

It's 3rd and 6 and you've broken out in a cold sweat. You look down at your play call sheet and find the 'Passing' box. You think to yourself, "Do I really have to throw the ball? Should I run Inside Zone instead?" Your mouth is drier than a laundry mat's busiest day. The fans are screaming at you. The play clock is winding down. And you are like a deer caught in the headlights. If any of this sounds familiar to you then you SHOULDN'T RUN THE AIR RAID OFFENSE!!!

Do you get frustrated during games because your opponent's defense is locking you down? Do you wonder why you can't run the ball when your opponent is sitting in a two-high shell? Is your quarterback unsure whether the defense is in man t0 man or zone? Then you need to shout angry things at Coach Cody Alexander. Why? Because he is the author of the amazing website MatchQuarters and he returns to the Talking Football podcast to talk about defense.

So you've been killing the defense with the Inside Zone learned on the last episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie, and the defense is now starting to key in. What do you do now? You run the QB counter. That's what you do. Why? Because defenses aren't keying your Quarterback. So that's when you hit them up with a little bit of misdirection. And that's what we talk about in today's episode of Talking Football with Coach McKie
