Episode 156 – How To Take Advantage of Empty Formations in Your Offense

Are you using empty formations in your offense? If not, you need to listen to this episode.

Incorporating empty formations into your offense is easy. You should do it without actually changing what you do or who you are.

The advantage is that we’re either getting Cover 0, or a really clean look inside the box. I like either one.

For many defensive coordinators, myself included, the first answer to empty formations is to load the box. Bring heat. Make you get the ball out in a hurry.

But the truth is, once you burn them… decisions have to be made. Stay in Cover 0 and risk getting roasted again? Or give the offense a 3-2 box or a 4-1 box.

Those 5 man boxes are so clean. You’ve got hats on hats. They are respecting your receivers.

To an athletic Quarterback, this is a dream. You can really open up your running game now!

Get all the details on how to use empty formations in your offense. Listen to this week’s episode of The Football Coaching Podcast!
