I got a message from a coaching friend recently saying, “You have to check out Bixby’s QB Run Game!”
When I turned on the film, I was blown away by the creativity and execution. QB Counter, QB Draw, QB Pin & Pull and more. They ran the QB out of Condensed Formations that resembled Single Wing, they ran the QB out of Empty Formations with shifts and motion. After spending some time watching the film, I knew I wanted to learn more from the Offensive Coordinator and QB’s Coach at Bixby HS, Tyler Schneider.
I’m fired up to announce that Coach Schneider will be presenting at The Play Caller’s Club Clinic in Houston, TX!
Here are a few cutups that caught my eye:
Empty Bunch Rt Jet QB Super (Super) Counter
I wrote about QB Super Counter in “The Ultimate Guide to Counter” but that only included 3 Pullers. Here Bixby uses 4 Pullers (GT + both Wings) to create a huge numbers shift for the defense.
Formation Unbalanced Jet QB Super Counter
This is a beautiful Super Counter off Jet Action. In UGTC I talked about how difficult it was for the defense to identify an In-Line TE Pulling. Bixby had a phenomenal TE who was athletic enough to Pull on on these Counter Schemes.
Empty QB Same Side G/H Counter Draw
Jenks (OK) has an impressive Tite Front Scheme led by DC Adam Gaylor. Jenks was one of the few teams to slow Bixby down at all. This Same-Side G/H Counter is a great wrinkle with Delay QB Draw Action. The Guard gets to the Mike LB and the H-Back works up to the Support Safety.
TE/Wing Lt Lead QB Pin & Pull
Here they run a standard Boundary Pin & Pull Scheme, but instead of handing the ball off, the QB flash fakes and the RB leads for the Weak Support Player. Adding a number into the Boundary springs an explosive play.
Formation Unbalanced Stack Rt Jet QB G/H Counter
If you watch Bixby, you know how much they stress the defense with Jet Sweep to the Field. The perfect companion play is a QB Counter back to the Boundary. They do a great job mixing Jet Sweep and Counter - they have weapons all over the field.
I would love for you to join us for The Play Caller’s Club in Houston, TX or virtually!
