We are teachers on the field!
• Do you out coach your opponents with lesser talent?
• Counters out of multiple formations will give you advantages.
• Use Science in your thinking:
– Physics
– Angles, Force, Leverage, and Center of Gravity
– Out work your opponents!
Why do we use Counters?• We are still a base blocking team
– Defenses we face have great pursuit
• To freeze linebackers
– We run a lot of power and toss
• High school defenses can be caught off guard fairly easy
– Counter Tray is one of our base plays
• It’s a numbers game, to the point of attack!
– Additional blocker/blockers
• Better blocking angles
– Allows us to still use all of our blocking angles
Plan and Scout• Your opponent’s initial alignment
– Make any adjustments to your blocking schemes
• When do you want to run your counter plays?
– Down and distance
• Run your counter plays with your best players
– The best blocking back you have might not be the best back to run your counters
• Have multiple counters on your play sheet
• Repetition, repetition, repetition!!!!
Counter concerns to ponder?• Counter tendencies!
– Don’t be just a third down counter team
– Attack to motion, attack away from motion
• Have counter pass plays
