Is it possible to be a team that can produce explosive plays and still hang your hat on being physical?
James Clancy, Head Coach at Klein Cain HS in Texas believes you can. They are a run first program. He uses RAPs--run action passes to create unguarded spots by manipulating the conflict defender and using the defenses scheme against them.
This video is a portion of his online clinic. You can view his entire presentation on Glazier Drive.
