![]() ![]() They get excellent angle on this play, and for the most part they do a good job of blocking. They are the key to the success of the play. To be successful at the jet, you must practice it at full speed to ensure timing. We make the jet, plays off jet action, and play-action passes about one third of the script in camp. We work offense in one session and defense in the other. The big problem is the amount of linemen we have. When we get to two-a-day practice, we continue in our pre-practice with the focus on teaching rather than speed. The next things are the power and quick series. They are the first three plays we put in every year in the run game. The zone, jet sweep, and option are very similar schemes for us. We get as many players working as possible. I let my quarterback coach work with the older players, if I work with the younger players, I know they will work better because I am the head coach. In camp, I always look at the younger players. You must know when to put him in motion, when to snap the ball, and how to get an accurate shotgun snap. In the shotgun, it requires a lot of time. When you run the jet from the shotgun, you want the ballcarrier at full speed when he receives the ball. We simply took two-by-fours, painted them, and worked off them. When we teach the timing, we work in three groups and use line spacers to represent the splits of the offensive linemen. We run it out of 2x2, 3x1, empty, and toward a tight end. The timing of the jet play is the entire thing. We start with the jet play in the summer. All runs are called for the quarterback (i.e., 16 counter, 46 counter).The second install is iso, power, and counter (down and kick schemes).We install zone, jet sweep, and option because of similar reach schemes.Four offensive days, four defensive days, two 7-on-7s.In Ohio, we get 10 days of practice in the summer. ![]() John's, you must keep your grades up, or you cannot attend school there. We are consistently in the top 10 in the state with team GPA. We averaged 270 pounds across the front this year. We have not been shy on talent, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines. We now have three juniors with current Division 1 offers. We had three MAC players this year and seven overall. We currently have four linemen in Big Ten. Since I have been there, we have had 20 Division 1 or 1AA players We played our home schedule at other high school fields or at the University of Toledo stadium. We played all our games on the road up to this point. Next year will be our first home football game. We have some good players, and they are smart. It is my alma mater, and we made the playoffs six of the 10 years. We have a junior high that has about 150 boys enrolled. Three schools in the conference have won a state championship. It is the only conference in Ohio with public and private schools. Our school is a member of the Three Rivers Athletic Conference. John's Jesuit is Catholic all-boys high school. Having players like that makes us all better coaches and gets us invited to speak at clinics. The reason for that was the player carrying the ball ran the 100 meters in 10.7 seconds. Two years ago, we averaged almost 11 yards per carry. This year, we averaged 8.4 yards per carry with it. We changed the blocking scheme slightly and got some better athletes. We ran the play years ago, but we were not very good at it. The play that plays a big part in that is the jet sweep. ![]() I am going to talk to you about attacking the perimeter. I worked for Jim Herman and many great Michigan coaches, and it was a lot of fun. I worked at Michigan football camps many years ago. Living in Toledo, I am about a mile from the Michigan border. ![]() I have had many connections with Michigan coaches over the years. Thank you for having me up here to speak. ![]()
