The T-Formation Offense Overview with Zach Davis & Coach Parker Mind of a Football Podcast Power FB

Dive deep into the history, versatility, and best plays of the T Formation Offense! This classic football formation is the oldest formation but remains incredibly effective today, run even by college teams as a short yardage package. Join Coach Parker (Youth Coach) and Zach Davis (High School Coach, host of The Mind of the Football Coach podcast) as they review the various T Formations like Chicago T, Split-T Power T and Michigan T variations. The T Formation is a fantastic choice for coaches looking for a power based offense that utilizes misdirection and forces the defense to be gap sound. It is also highly versatile, offering many unique variations. This video is packed with insights on running the T Offense effectively, whether you are coaching youth football (recommended for 8U non-option level) or competing at the high school level, where the T-formation is still making appearances in state championship games. In this episode, we cover the core T Formation concepts and play series: 00:00 Introduction & The Oldest Formation Coach Parker discusses the history of the T Formation, noting its many variations like the tight T, split T, modern T, and Michigan T. The hosts note that everything seems to flow out of the T into other offenses. 06:06 Overview: Why Coaches Love the T The T Formation is praised for its old-school style, balanced formation (preventing defense from overloading a side), double tight ends, and three backs. It also offers good play action opportunities. 11:15 Youth Considerations Tips for running the T Formation at the youth level, including adjusting backfield depth (Youth should consider three yards instead of the high school four yards), and ensuring you have enough skilled backs. 18:44 Weaknesses & Strengths of the T Offense The T Offense doesn't have a huge passing playbook but is bigger than expected. Its major strength is downhill power, putting pressure on linebackers, and allowing for effective counteractions and misdirection. Coaches should focus on running off-tackle plays and celebrating three-to-five-yard gains to wear down the defense. 25:35 T Formation Base Play Series (The Power T / Michigan T) Zach walks through the core series plays that look the same in the first couple of steps, making them hard for the defense to recognize. • Trap Play: An easy play to install, focused on hitting the funnel tight and running "into darkness" until the daylight appears. • Power Play: Bread and butter old-school power football, using the backside guard wrapping through the hole. • The Keep (QB Sweep): The quarterback runs to the edge, set up by the motion of the other backs, and uses the goo hinge block on the backside. 37:21 Play Action & Pass Plays Explore key play action concepts including the Keep Pass (where the halfback runs a corner route after the run fake) and the Michigan Pass (a drop-back play featuring two corner routes and a down-the-middle route). 42:37 Cross Buck / Dog Play Zach shares his favorite counterplay, a cross buck fake (called "Dog") that is very hard to defend. Coach Parker and Zach Davis also expressed appreciation for engagement, inviting viewers to like, subscribe, share, and comment to help out with the algorithm. They are always available and love to talk football. Coach Parker ended the episode with his motto: "play for fun and winning is funner," and Zach Davis noted that if listeners liked the episode, they could go into more depth with some film in the future The T-Formation Offense Overview with Zach Davis & Coach Parker Mind of a Football Podcast Power FB Please check out the Mind of a Football Coach website: https://mindofafootballcoach.com/ Find Coach Parker Websites: https://coachparker.org/ https://beastoffenseplays.com/ https://youthfootballcoachingtips.com/ FIND ME HERE......
