This is the first post of a lengthy
study on the Bear Raid offense. My first three posts will look at
the most common plays in the run game, the quick passing
game/screens, and the deep passing game from the first three games of
the season. I'll outline how our most common plays are supposed to
work, and then comment on how successful they were, what players were
most successful at running them, etc.
Once I've gone through these basics
I'll talk about how all these plays fit together, game-planning,
adjustments, etc. Once I've done this for the first three games of
the season, I plan to treat the rest of the season more briefly in
three game chunks, showing what changed and why as the season
progressed. Let's get it started.
