About this video
Dale Weiner's Spin offense passing game is designed to look exactly like the Spin run game. Once a defense has taken a dose of the Spin Sweep, Counter and Quarterback Draw, Coach Weiner dials up passes that use the same backfield action, so defenders cannot tell run from pass until it is too late. The Spin was first published by American Football Monthly and has since been adopted into more than 500 high school offensive schemes.
What you'll learn
- How the Spin passing game complements the three base runs from the double slot set
- Spin Pass Right: routes, blocking responsibilities and player-by-player assignments
- The Spin Play Action Pass off the same misdirection the backs show on the run
- The Fullback Screen Pass and how it punishes an over-pursuing defense
- Why identical backfield movement keeps the defense guessing run or pass
Who it's for
High school offensive coordinators and quarterback coaches running the Spin, and any misdirection or Wing-T style coach who wants play-action passes that mirror the run game.
About the coach
Dale Weiner coached Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he introduced the Spin offense with its emphasis on faking and misdirection; the scheme went on to be adopted by more than 500 high school programs.
