Introduction: One of the things I love about this blog is that I get to pick a couple of topics and research them. The challenge is always trying to find enough good video share. In this weeks post I am going to share a few thoughts that I have on Gap Schemes. I was very lucky to find some great schemes that I had in my HUDL RPO LIBRARY. The film clips that I am sharing with you are just a few of the 1,500 that are in the RPO Library. If you think this stuff is good you should see what the library has to offer.

King Concept
One of the concepts that I added to my teams playbook for the playoff was the "King" gap scheme. This year I have been searching for variations in formation and RPO concepts that I can add to this very versatile concept. One of the reasons I like this concept is because it forces the defense to add a defender in the box because of the H-back. If the defense does not match up numbers in the box, or overloads to the formation strength it is easy to create an explosive run play for the offense. Below are a few concepts that I thought you might like to see.
Sprint Draw
If you use your H-back to help seal the edge in Sprint out pass protection you will like the Sprint Draw King Concept. This is a great way to break a tendency that you may find at the mid-point of the year. Diagram-1 is a traditional 3x1 look and Diagram-2 is an unbalanced sprint draw look.

King RPO Concepts
I love this concept because it has three plays built into one. The run concept "King" is a pre-snap box count. A 5 or 6 man box the quarterback can give the ball. When looking at the "Bubble" or "Fast Screen" leverage and numbers will determine that throw. The last read is the single receiver side. If one on one match up has leverage or soft coverage throw the speed out. In the video clips you will see some good reads and some bad reads. Make sure you are clear with your QB on what you want him to do with the football.
