That latest collaborative effort between Coach Tony DeMeo and Option Central, Attacking the 44 Defense is a course created for the CoachTube platform that focuses on the weaknesses inherent in a 4-4 Defense and how to attack them with the Triple Gun (or ANY) Offense.

“It all starts with the Gun Triple” and the new course opens with a “deep dive” into the “core play” in the Offense. Game video is used extensively by Coach DeMeo to illustrate Give, Keep and Pitch reads as well as how the Gun Triple adapts to Defensive tactics such as “stemming”. Coach DeMeo explains how to use formations and motion to attack the defense, and create advantages for the Offense while making it possible to get the ball to any ball carrier.

This comprehensive course also includes sections on the Triple Gun Quick Game, Double Options that “put speed in space” and “make the big guys chase”, and the Play Action Passing game off the Gun Triple that takes advantage of the inherent weaknesses of the 4-4’s 3 shell coverage schemes by attacking seams with the Hitch/Seam combination.

Also included is a collection of Supplemental Runs that are ideally suited to attacking a 4-4 that features the Half Reverse and the QB Iso. The course concludes with a section on Spreading the Defense with Empty sets, and includes two RPOs that, like many of the aspects of Coach DeMeo’s Offense were “ahead of their time”.

Attacking the 44 Defense combines PowerPoint slides, Chalkboard-style play diagrams and extensive game video presented in “Chalk Talk style” format. . Over 3 hours of instruction organized into 39 lessons – with over 20 “Chalk Talk” style presentations of plays in the Triple Gun Offense.  Watch, listen and learn from one of the games most respected authorities on Option Football.
