Hal Mumme's Air Raid Offense 3-Pack

with Hal Mumme,
New Mexico State University Head Coach

Hal Mumme's extensive resume has allowed him to see every offense in football. Using game footage, he shares some of the plays and explosive offensive strategies from the Air Raid Offense. Coach Mumme starts with warm-up drills. These drills are done at one-quarter speed in position groups. All receivers are involved in the noose & settle drill, which is a catch, tuck and turn up the field exercise. The pat & go is an individual drill for receivers that help develop the skill of looking the ball in over their shoulder. Performing a set of unit drills develops the quick game. A segment of quick screens is another important part of the practice routine. One-on-one passing versus defensive backs and the inside drill are valued drills within this offensive attack. Mumme wraps up this presentation with team drills and game plan.

The beauty of the Air Raid Offense, according to Coach Mumme, is that players love to play this offense and fans flock to see it. To complement the passing attack, Mumme presents the basics of the Air Raid running attack. Mumme starts with the basic Iso situation. He covers the alignment and blocking technique for the Iso and the Iso Flipset. Lead Draw Iso and the three technique are displayed on overhead and by using game footage. A focus in the running game is the draw play. From the open set in pass action, the draw is used to off set the throw. Because the pass is thrown about 55 times a game, pass protection is of utmost importance. Walk throughs and extensive use of videotape aid the coach's preparation for practice and games. Teaching levels with offensive linemen is critical in this system. Also covered are the odd man front, the even man front, and nickel.

Coach Mumme's offensive game plan has turned around football programs at all levels. A major focus of the Air Raid Offense is forcing the opponent to cover the entire field. Spreading the field horizontally and vertically must be understood before getting into this offensive attack. Details of the inside and outside receivers are covered in detail. Inside receivers are taught to take an outside release and occupy defenders. Teaching the concept of settle up or run is important in terms of counteracting the strategy of the defense. Mumme covers his four vertical set, which is a no back set where the tight end becomes like a running back. Another version of four verticals is Y-Sail, which is run out of several sets. The quick screen package can be seen live with use of game footage.
