Move the Chains: Planning vs. the Blitz

Most offensive coaches spend time preparing for pressure. The best offensive coaches have a plan for it before the game ever starts. In this special preview from Move the Chains: Situational Offense, Caleb Corrill is joined by Tyler Bolen, Brandon Labath, Billy Hug, Lane Little, and Andrew Weeks to discuss one of the most important aspects of offensive game planning: building a blitz plan. The conversation explores how successful coordinators identify tendencies in pressure, prepare quarterbacks and offensive linemen to communicate protections, create answers to blitzes, and structure practice to prepare players for game-day adjustments. Whether you're an offensive coordinator, offensive line coach, quarterback coach, or head coach, this discussion provides practical insights you can immediately apply to your offensive process.
