"We don't specifically run a college-based offense at our high school, but this video has given me a ton of ideas of how we can adjust our own schemes and block the many defenses we see in a season. I really appreciate how thorough Coach Warinner explains these concepts and recommend it to any offensive or defensive coordinator coaching today. It would take hours of clinic talks to equal the information detailed in this video." - Customer Review
