Build Your RPO System the Right Way | Advanced Spread Option Concepts - Bill Peebles

Indianapolis Cathedral Head Coach Bill Peebles discusses his implementation of the Run-Pass Option (RPO) offense within their spread option system, emphasizing its effectiveness in creating mismatches and exploiting defensive weaknesses. 

The video is a part of the 57-minute online clinic Implementing RPO's in the Spread Option Offense, Including Practice Drills that is available on Glazier Drive.

Some of our key takeaways are listed below the video.


RUN OPTIONS SET UP RPO'S

RUN GAME OPTION PLAYS-READ DL

  • Zone read
  • Q-zone
  • Q-power
  • Counter option

RPOs

  • Inside zone RPOs
    Screens & quicks-read LBs
  • Outside zone RPOs 
    Vertical pass-read safeties

3 Basic RPO Concepts

  • RPO Screens--1st Level
    Bubble & Quick/Slip Screens
  • RPO Quicks--2nd Level
    Tied to our Quick Passing Game
  • RPO Verticals--3rd Level
    Tied to the vertical passing game

RPO - 1 play = 3 Plays

  • Tag Side Route--Pre-snap read--easy access to a 1 on 1 matchup
  • Run Play--Inside or Outside Zone Play
  • Read Side Route--Read a LB or DB--Ensure numbers in the box

By having 3 plays built into 1, theoretically, we will always be able to out number, out flank, or hit 'em where they ain't.

This allows us to create favorable 1 on 1 matchups.
