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.
