6. We are teachers on the field! Do you out coach your opponents with lesser talent? Counters out of multiple formations will give you advantages. Use Science in your thinking: – Physics – Angles, Force, Leverage, and Center of Gravity – Out work your opponents!

7. Why do we use Counters? We are still a base blocking team – Defenses we face have great pursuit To freeze linebackers – We run a lot of power and toss High school defenses can be caught off guard fairly easy – Counter Tray is one of our base plays It’s a numbers game, to the point of attack! – Additional blocker/blockers Better blocking angles – Allows us to still use all of our blocking angles

8. Plan and Scout Your opponent’s initial alignment – Make any adjustments to your blocking schemes When do you want to run your counter plays? – Down and distance Run your counter plays with your best players – The best blocking back you have might not be the best back to run your counters Have multiple counters on your play sheet Repetition, repetition, repetition!!!!

9. Counter concerns to ponder? Counter tendencies! – Don’t be just a third down counter team – Attack to motion, attack away from motion Have counter pass plays
