Coach Fracassa condenses his many years of sideline experience into this power-packed offensive DVD. Included in this presentation, is Fracassa's highly successful ISO play which can be run with two tight ends, from the Power-I, wing, overset, Pro Set or from a motion set. Next up, the legendary coach details all the ins and outs of his vaunted Toss Play - which is from the overset formation and features linemen sprinting to a zone, finding any player they can. You'll also get an inside look at the Power-I Power Play in which the halfback kicks out on the hole as the fullback blocks the first man he comes to. This play is effective because the QB makes it look like an isolation play, but it becomes a power play. Other gems from Fracassa's playbook include the Sprint Draw, Counter Pass, Sprint Pass, Quick Pass and Cross Pass. With a great combination of diagrams, teaching points and game clips, Fracassa accurately presents each of these highly effective plays into a format that makes it easy to implement into your team's playbook.

Running the ball is a very important weapon in Coach Schmidt's successful high school program and this DVD shows why. As a complement to the power running game, Schmidt shares his potent misdirection running game. The first key element of the misdirection scheme is that it keeps the defense honest. Another benefit is its ability to exploit or slow down fast flow linebackers. A third advantage of misdirection is that it forces the back side pursuit to say home. Offense advantages include: Allows for inside cutback run, diversifies your offense to get more people involved and it can be built into the "Check with me Package." Schmidt shares his philosophy in this DVD. Major points of emphasis include allowing a line of limited athletes to succeed, use various formations and limiting the number of plays by increasing the repetition. To clearly define each player's duties, Schmidt covers responsibilities for the quarterback, fullback and tailback. Game footage allows for further explanation and understanding on the finer points of this offense. Coupled with a power game, the misdirection game adds diversity and flexibility that is hard to scout and defend. Use the concepts on this tape to strengthen your offense and win more games with the misdirection running game.

A giant in Pennsylvania high school football, Coach Schmidt led Neshaminy to a remarkable 15-0 season in 2001. The center of his program is running the football. In 2006, his team averaged an impressive 7.6 yards per carry, but fumbled only five times in 430 attempts and his offense scored in the Red Zone 39 of 43 times. Facing defenses that overplay the strong side, coaches must "Answer Each Action" appropriately. An example is to have a cut back scheme in your power game and hold the defense in there with an exotic, reverse or play action pass. Using a variety of formations, Schmidt illustrates his running scheme with use of game footage. Examples include inside power, option strong, option to open side, option reverse and trips. By using videotape, Schmidt is able to stop the action and explain blocking schemes, player responsibilities and play formations. A special set of clips demonstrates play action, waggle and screen plays that are run with success. Schmidt's presentation targets in on answers that have allowed his teams to score points, score consistently in the Red Zone, and take advantage of defenses. Keep your opponent off balance by answering the challenge on every play!
