The 'Scorched Earth' 2-Pack

The 'Scorched Earth' Spread Attack Passing Game

with Scott Maxfield,
Henderson State University Head Coach

Coach Maxfield presents his passing game philosophy out of the Spread Attack. He concentrates a lot of the presentation on the three-step passing game. This scheme utilizes slide protection with the back coming over the top, which provides several advantages to the offense. The slide protection allows the offense to pick up stunts or twists and provides time for the quarterback to throw while minimizing his hits. From this look Maxfield covers the Hitch, Out, Slant/Bubble, Vertical, Double Slant, Slot Out, Smash, Sluggo, Turn and Inside Receiver Fade routes. Play action pass routes are also a part of the passing package. The 314/315 Cap route and Push Route are play action option plays. To slow down the pass rush, Maxfield uses the screen game, featuring the 33/43 Boy Screen from the 2-step drop. Screens out of the shotgun are the 600/700 series. The best screen, Rambo & Limbo, is called a total screen. A quick throw against a soft corner is the River/Lake play. This DVD concludes with game footage from the Henderson State passing game. The philosophy presented here is about versatility, adjustments and multiple looks and options.

The 'Scorched Earth' Spread Attack Running Game

with Scott Maxfield,
Henderson State University Head Coach

The Spread Offense provides several advantages. First, it utilizes skill athletes and takes the pressure off the offensive line. The spread can neutralize a dominant front seven, is hard to prepare for and is hard for the defense to disguise coverages. The spread also makes it easy to read the blitz and spreads the defense out. The no huddle style is one that players enjoy and is part of the Henderson State spread offense. Coach Maxfield shares his "no huddle procedure." The Misdirection series is broken down, as is the Power Series. Maxfield also explains play action options and blitz control. The 18/19 play, inside zone, draw, shuttle pass and dart play are all features in this running game. The dart, a misdirection run play, is seen by showing game footage. The dart can be run out of the shotgun or under center. Blocking schemes are taught for simplicity and consistency. This is an organized look at the potent Spread Offense.
