Defending the Spread by Identifying Weaknesses

If you’ve got to defend the spread offense, the first thing you have to find out is if they are a passing spread or a running spread. Even teams that are a good 50/50 balance have one thing or another that they just do better. Even if they do both equally, your defense probably defends one or the other better.Recently, speaking with a coach who was considering changing his offense from a ground attack to a spread game, he mentioned that he had to have someone to throw to. You can spread your own guys out around the field all day, but if you have 4 little guys running around aimlessly on the perimeter, you’ll still get 7 guys in the box shutting down your rushing attack.
