Basics of the Slot-T

Coach Herman uses a PowerPoint to explain the basics of the Slot T offense. With a philosophy of "run to win," he explains how the Slot-T is a great equalizer and will allow you to win games you shouldn't and compete when you are clearly outmatched. The Slot-T is a team-oriented schematic structure that emphasizes team football as opposed to one or two players being asked to make all of the plays.

The offense utilizes the rare tactic of flipping the offensive line, which simplifies what each player must know to execute. Simple formations and motions add flexibility to the offense..

300 Series

You will learn all you need to know to install the Slot-T's 300 Series, which creates deception with misdirection. The A Right formation is the base alignment for the Slot-T. Blocking rules for each position and each play are taught before game video is shown of each play. You'll see:

• 3-3-3 (FB Trap) - The base play of the series.
• 349 (Load/Down Sweep)
• 8-Hole Reverse (Slot Reverse)
• Pass 318 Waggle (Waggle)

Coach Herman's misdirection series for the Slot-T couples perfectly with the power series, but could be equally effective as a change-up series for just about any offense. With its simplicity and aggressive nature, this offense is sure to frustrate and tire out a defense while putting points on the board.
