The Spin Offense - Play Action Passing

The Spin offense is a run-based, misdirection attack, and it works because defenses commit hard to stopping the run. Barry Gibson, the innovator of the Combo offense that became known as the Spin offense, shows how to make them pay for it with a five-play play action passing package. Each pass is taught the same way he teaches the runs: formations, blocking scheme, position-by-position responsibilities and everything needed to install it and run it on Friday night.

What you'll learn

• Spin Pass Drag: a short, safe throw away from motion that goes against the grain and works against any coverage
• Spin Pass All-Go: a quick vertical threat with three receivers, built for Cover 2
• Spin Pass Middle: attacks the void over-pursuing linebackers leave, with the right-side split end as the target
• Spin Screen Right: the low-risk complement to Fullback Screen Left that gets the ball to the left slot back
• Spin Flea Flicker: a change of pace shot that fits the red zone against run-committed defenses
• Formations, blocking schemes and every position's responsibility on all five plays

Who it's for

High school and youth offensive coordinators and head coaches running the Spin or Combo offense who need a play action package to punish defenses that crowd the box.
