Ramp Up Your Red/Tight Zone Attack with TAMs Four Verts - Darrell Dickey

Coach Darrell Dickey defines the Red Zone as between the 25 and 16 yard line.  The "Tight Zone" is from the 15 to the 6 yard line.  The Goal line is from the 5 yard line and in.

The video below shows some of the schemes he ran when he was the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M.  Coach Dickey is currently an Offensive Analyst at Georgia.

To see his entire clinic Texas A&M Redzone Package out of a Multiple Pro-Style Offense, go to Glazier Drive.

He breaks the field into the three zones because the things that happen in each of those zones is a little different.

He has found that in their red zone area, teams will play coverage.  Once TAM got into the "Tight Zone" teams would come after them to create negative plays.  When they get inside the 5 if it is a passing situation, they will get a seven across look with Tampa 2.

They scout each of their opponents as to how they will be defended in each of the zones.

What they tell their teams in the three zones:

🏈No turnovers
🏈No penalties
🏈No sacks (Stay in field goal range)
🏈You are working in smaller spaces with tighter windows
🏈Use the entire end zone
