6. (“Defensive Confusion).
“Running the Sweep, Shovel & Shovel Option Using Multiple Formations” “Bringing it to the Table”
Sweep, Shovel & Shovel Option + “Double Shovel” =
“Compliment each other” or “exploit” the defensive over aggressiveness.
Good outside game opens up the inside running game.
Forces Defense to play assignment football.
Shovel is safest pass to throw & Slows down outside pressure.
What the Sweep & Shovel Option Series has done for Colton Football:
Multiple Formations Create Massive Preparation for opponents.
(“Defensive Confusion).
Helps blockers and blocking angles when defensive is hesitant.
Most productive plays in our offense the past couple of seasons & continues to be the most hated offense by opponents.
