The beauty of the Hurricane Gun Option Offense is the defense never knows exactly what's going to hit them. In this video, Coach Will Orbin presents his best methods for utilizing the passing portion of RPOs in his offense.
Screen Run Combos
Coach Orbin gives an explanation of his RPO system, including his philosophy behind utilizing RPOs in his offense. He breaks down his team's RPO system into three categories:
- Screen run combos
- Pass run combos
- Run pass combos
Next, Orbin diagrams all of the screen run combos that he utilizes while including specific information on identifying the leverage defender, route running, and quarterback reads. He also explains how to manage these calls so that your QB can execute them at game speed.
Pass Run Combos
Coach Orbin continues by diagramming his "pass run combos." In Orbin's scheme, the pass run combos are quick game concepts that are called along with a run play. This type of RPO is a very simple way for an offense to implement RPOs in their system as the post-snap read is eliminated. You'll get several quick game combinations, plus a QB read progression and route running coaching points that are supported by game footage examples.
Run Pass Combos
The video concludes with Orbin diagramming the run pass combos that he includes in his offense. These plays feature both a pre-snap and post-snap read to determine sides of the formation. Additionally, they require reading a third level defender to the leverage side post-snap, which is designed to make supporting the run difficult for the team on defense.
You'll see Coach Orbin diagram three concepts that his team utilizes, including the:
- Coke concept
- Pop concept
- Sprite concept
This video will give you a comprehensive look at an outstanding RPO system. Coach Orbin provides everything you need to run these RPOs and dominate the opposition next season!
