5 Wide Offense Axioms

 

1)  NEVER let the defense dictate to you.

​

2)  Control the amount of players in the box with your formations.

​

3)  Throw the football to setup the run.

​

4)  Make the defensive line tired.

​

5)  Run to win…in the 4th quarter when the defense is tired.

​

6)  Always run plays to where the offensive has the number advantage.  The offense has the advantage when the numbers are even.

i.e.  5-on-5 or 6-on-6 in the box, 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 in the secondary

​

7)  NEVER pass protect with the running back or receivers, release them into routes and make the defense defend them.  If you use them as protectors you give the defense a one player advantage.
