Play of the Day Chalk Talks Volume 86 and 87
We wrap up our series of Play of the Day Chalk Talks that showcases the comprehensive passing game of Tony DeMeo's Triple Gun Offense with a play that combines elements from the Drop Back and Quick Game in a single play. In Volume #87, the play is a Slice/Corner combination in which the QB reads a Quick Pass to the boundary side and a Dropback to the field in the same play and in Volume #86, the play is a Fade/Stick combination on the Goal Line. Both plays are available now in the Triple Gun section of our Video Library.
Both plays are included in The Complete Triple Gun Passing Attack - Coach DeMeo's new CoachTube course.
Play of the Day Chalk Talk Volume 85 - Gun Motion Fade
Two plays that illustrate the combination of Motion and Play Action in the Triple Gun Offense are the Gun Motion Fade and the Post/Wheel combination . In Play of the Day Chalk Talk #85, the Hitch converts to a Fade in response to a "squat corner".
Play of the Day Chalk Talk Volume 84 - Post / Wheel from Option Action uses Motion to dictate the coverage
In the second Play of the Day Chalk that illustrates the combination of Motion and Play Action in an Option attack , Coach DeMeo explains a Post / Wheel combination that uses Whirley Motion to force a 4 Shell to 3 Shell rotation . Combined with Gun Triple Play Action, the result is a next to impossible coverage assignment for the LB assigned to run with the Wheel in this, 84th Volume of the Play of the Day Chalk Talk series.
Play of the Day Chalk Talk Volume 83
The combination of the Stretch and Slice routes from a 3 x 1 formation creates a no-win situation for the playside LB in Volume 83 of the Play of the Day Chalk Talk series.
Using Meaningful Stats Coaches Clinic
At the core of Coach Tony DeMeo's philosophy and strategy for winning football games is the concept of Meaningful Stats. In his latest CoachTube course, Coach DeMeo explains what he views as Meaningful (as opposed to "meaningless") Stats - what he considers the four most important stats in the game. Coach DeMeo then explains how The Triple Gun Offense was designed specifically to win the Meaningful Stats Game and how to incorporate the Meaningful Stats philosophy with any Offensive attack. We worked with Coach DeMeo to make this one hour course available for FREE at www.coachtube.com.
Play of the Day Chalk Talk Volume 82 : Slot Shovel Pass
A Run/Pass Option that is an alternative to a Draw play while getting the ball in the Tailback's hands is the latest addition to our series of Play of the Day Chalk Talks that showcases the Triple Gun Offense's passing game. Available now in the Option Central Members Video Library, along with the entire collection of Play of the Day Chalk Talks.
New Chalk Talk with special guest - Offensive Line Coach, John Strollo
"John Strollo is the smartest and best OL Coach in Football. That includes the NFL. He is WAY better than anyone from the top colleges in the country."
Jim McNally
In our Chalk Talk - Volume TT9, Host Tony DeMeo and highly regarded Offensive Line Coach, John Strollo, talk about the merits of the Two Point Stance before Coach Strollo takes us through 30 minutes of Offensive Line Technique Drills. The Chalk Talk concludes with Strollo showing game video as he explains the "C Gap Zone" play and critiques the blocking.
The Drills in this video are based on the concepts and techniques explained in Coach Strollo's CoachTube Course - Fundamentals of Acceleration in Football .
Triple Gun Half Reverse vs 4-4 Defense
Another new mini Chalk Talk from the Attacking the 4-4 Defense series is a Half Reverse vs a 4-4. The Half Reverse is a key Supplemental Run in the Triple Gun Offense, and what Coach DeMeo referse to as an "answer play", because it counters a pursuing overhang player in a 4-4 Defense. This new video is included in Coach DeMeo's new CoachTube Course - Attacking the 4-4 Defense with the Triple Gun Offense and is available for viewing by Option Central Members in the Member Video Library.
Stretching a Defense with a Double Tight Pro Set to run the Gun Triple
The latest video from our Attacking Defenses series is a mini Chalk Talk in which a 2 TE set creates an open gap in an 8 man front and results in a big play. This new video, like the 4 before it, was made for Coach DeMeo's new CoachTube Course that is scheduled for release later this year. It is available now for viewing by Option Central Members in the Member Video Library.
Applying the "do this unless" thought process to attack a 3 Shell with the Hitch/Seam combo
The third new video from our Attacking Defenses series is a 4 minute Chalk Talk that illustrates reading the outside backer while applying the "Hitch unless" thought process. The new video will be part of the fourth CoachTube Course from Tony DeMeo later this year. Available now for viewing by Option Central Members in the Member Video Library.
Attacking the 4-4 Defense with the Triple Gun Offense
Coach Tony DeMeo kicked off his latest project - a series that focuses on attacking Defenses that will ultimately lead to a new series of CoachTube Courses. Returning to the digital chalkboard for the first time in 2020, these two videos highlight the Gun Triple, because, as Coach DeMeo states.."it all starts with the Gun Triple". Produced specifically for the first of three new courses that focuses on the 4-4, and in a style similar to Option Central's collection of Play of the Day Chalk Talks, the videos below complement our more in-depth, Chalk Talks that also included a chalkboard-style illustration with Coach DeMeo explaining individual position assignments, blocking schemes and more.
In the first play, the Keep is the correct read..in the second, its the Pitch.
* In an additional play in the series the Give is the correct read. The third video is available now in our Member Video Library.
