Hurricane Gun Option Offense

with Will Orbin,
Christopher Newport University Assistant Coach / Offensive Line;
forme Louisburg College Offensive Coordinator

Coach Orbin has a long history of producing explosive offenses. In his first two seasons as offensive coordinator, Louisburg has finished at the top of the NJCAA in rushing. In 2015, the squad finished first in the nation with 336 yards per game and followed that up with a third best in the nation 279 yards per game. The past two years, the offense has averaged over 45 points per game, finishing in the top 10 nationally both seasons. Coach Orbin has over 20 years of coaching experience, including tenure in Division I FCS college football, junior college football and high school programs.

Multiple attack defenses have evolved because of the spread offense. Blocking multiple looks and pressure defenses is a challenge. With gap scheme blocking, the advantage goes back to the offense because of the simplicity of the rules for the linemen and the ability to block any defensive look.

Coach Orbin extensively covers gap blocking schemes and techniques for each position using the two back shotgun formation. He uses a teaching progression in this video that allows you to clearly understand the offense:

• He diagrams the play, going over a multitude of formations they use
• Details the blocking rules with player-by-player assignments
• Shows practice video of the extensive drill work that displays the step-by-step process that Coach Orbin uses to develop a dominant offense
• Closes with game video showing live shots of each play

Power and Counter Blocking Schemes

Drill all five offensive line positions on how to execute the Power and Counter blocking schemes versus various defensive fronts, blitzes and stunts. Orbin describes the small but critical details of offensive technique that allow your players to execute more consistently and aggressively. Some of the techniques outlined by Coach Orbin include:

• The Guard & Tackle combo block
• The Center & Guard combo block
• The Center's back block
• The H-Back's kickout block
• The backside Guard's skip pull
• The backside Tackle's "seal & wheel" block
• The backside Guard's kickout block on Counter
• The H-Back's open pull on Counter

Power With Built-in Read

Louisburg College uses the power blocking scheme and a three and two back shotgun set to run a unique power play that has a read option in which the quarterback will read the force defender or outside linebacker for dive or pull. This concept puts tremendous pressure in stopping the power run without having numbers in the box to do so.

Counter With Built in Read

The Counter play complements the Power play. The Counter play uses the same blocking concept and attacks the weak side with the quarterback executing the same read as on the Power play. It provides an answer for teams that try to key the H-Back's pre-snap alignment.

Coach Orbin's in-depth instruction makes this video a must-have for anyone wishing to implement the two-back power run game. Give yourself an advantage against any defensive alignment your opponent might try to use to stop this devastating offense.

Being physical in the spread offense is a problem for several who run it. With this series, your offense will develop a physical demeanor and be able to run the football on even the most elaborate defensive scheme.

Coach Orbin has developed a base plan that can be incorporated at all levels of football. He runs a simple, yet highly effective option game using balanced and unbalanced formations. Applying rule-based gap schemes to his plays allows the offensive line to be physical and play fast every play, regardless of defensive alignment. It also allows your team to execute and play efficiently.

Coach Orbin begins by giving an overview of the run game concepts that he utilizes at Louisburg College. He uses a teaching progression in this video that allows you to clearly understand the offense:

• He diagrams the play, going over a multitude of formations they use
• He details the blocking rules with player-by-player assignments
• He shows practice video of the extensive drill work that displays the step-by-step process that Coach Orbin uses to develop a dominant offense
• He closes with game video showing live shots of each play

Dash and Dash Wrap

The "Dash" and "Dash Wrap" play is Coach Orbin's version of zone read, but with a gap blocking scheme rather than a zone blocking scheme. Key coaching points for the tailback and H back are given, as well as the quarterback mechanics and read progression on the play.

Jet and Jet Wrap

The "Jet" and "Jet Wrap" play is his version of the power read. Coach Orbin explains the proper footwork and mechanics for the quarterback, running back, and H back, as well as the technique of the wide receivers on a stalk block. Coach Orbin explains the key difference in the path of the H back on this play using game footage as examples. Coach Orbin also explains the read progression of the quarterback, as well as key coaching points for the offensive line.

J Sail

You'll learn a play action pass play that takes full advantage of the dash and wrap plays. The option plays force the defense to add players to the box to help stop the run. Once the defense commits extra defenders to the run game, the sail pass combination is available.

Coach Orbin diagrams the formation that he likes to call 'the play from' and the advantages of doing so. He explains the routes for the receivers, the protection used, and the quarterback's mechanics and read progression on the play. The J Sail play is a must-have play for any team that runs this system as it puts tremendous stress on a defense that is focused on stopping the run.

If you want to use a unique option offense to pick apart defenses, Coach Orbin's instruction in this video is a worthy addition to your coaching knowledge!

Coach Orbin has over 20 years of coaching experience, including tenure in Division I FCS college football, junior college football and high school programs.

The spread offense has evolved, and so have spread defenses, which attack more and disguise coverages pre-snap, making it challenging for a quarterback executing in the typical spread. Coach Will Orbin shows you how to attack any defensive structure and implement the triple option that is easy to run, along with the gap blocking scheme that will take care of any blitz the defense can conjure up.

This triple option with a power gap blocking scheme uses balanced or unbalanced formations so you can use either load or arc blocking schemes at the second level. The simplicity in the blocking scheme allows you to run multiple running plays with the same rules for the offensive line. Coach Orbin uses a teaching progression in this video that allows the viewer to clearly understand the offense:

• He diagrams the play, going over a multitude of formations they use
• Details the blocking rules with player-by-player assignments
• Shows practice video of the extensive drill work that displays the step-by-step process that Coach Orbin uses to develop a dominant offense.
• Closes with game video showing live shots of each play

The Power Triple allows the offense to create the illusion that the power play is coming, but with traditional veer option reads the quarterback has the ability to hand-off or get to the perimeter with the option. The Triple Wrap is a weak side play with the same read and blocking as the Power Triple.

Coach Orbin next shows you how to hit vertical plays with the RPO by reading a third level defender. You will see four explosive plays that complement the offense and give you the ability to score anywhere on the field.

All coaches running the option (or wanting to learn more about it so you can defend it) will benefit from watching this video by Coach Orbin!
