About this video
Tommy Lewis and Jamie Lemmond open their five-part "Simplistic Multiplicity" series by defining the defense Victory Christian Academy uses to shut down the spread offense. The idea is in the name: a system that stays simple for the players who run it while looking multiple to the offense that has to block it. This first session lays the foundation the rest of the series builds on, from stopping the run-pass option and the jet sweep to defending the spread passing game and forcing turnovers.
What you'll learn
- What "simplistic multiplicity" means and why a spread offense struggles to get a clean read on it
- How one set of simple rules lets a defense present multiple fronts, movements and coverages
- Where the pieces fit together: the fronts, the stunts and blitzes, and the coverages behind them
- Why showing the offensive line and quarterback different looks is the heart of the approach
- How this framework sets up the later sessions on the RPO, the jet sweep series, the spread passing game and turnovers
Who it's for
Defensive coordinators and head coaches at the high school level who face spread teams every week and want a system that is easy to teach but hard to prepare for. It applies whether you base out of a 3-3-5, 3-5-3, 4-2-5 or 4-4.
About the coach
Tommy Lewis served as head coach at Victory Christian Academy in Lakeland, Florida, with Jamie Lemmond as his defensive coordinator. Together they led a program that won a Florida state championship and built this five-part series on stopping the spread offense.
