About this video
Dale Weiner's Spin offense against the 5-2 defense shows how the Spin's misdirection handles a five-man front with two inside linebackers. Coach Weiner lays out the plays, formations and blocking assignments he uses to beat the 5-2, building on the double slot set and the quarterback pivot that define the Spin. Five down linemen change the blocking picture for every Spin run, and this session shows how to account for them.
