About this video
Dale Weiner's Spin offense against the 4-4 defense is a game-plan session for one of the most common fronts a misdirection offense will see. The 4-4 puts eight defenders near the line of scrimmage to stop the run, and Coach Weiner shows the formations, blocking strategies and plays he uses to make the Spin's deception work against it. It picks up where his base Spin installation, running game and passing game videos leave off.
