In this video, see how Dave Clawson and Warren Ruggiero overhauled the Run/Pass Option (RPO) game at Wake Forest football to turn the Demon Deacons into one of the most explosive offenses in the country. We'll look into the background and development of each coach's offense, and then we'll turning to WF's "Slow Mesh" backfield action, which lets them combine their RPO game with lethal downfield passing options on the same play.

    Are you talking like a Scheme 101 thing, or more of a history of a particular concept? I have a Scheme 101 course that's basically written, but I'm still working on exactly what I want to do with it, how I want to distribute it, if I want to try and sell it vs. just uploading it to the channel, etc. As for a history video that's focused on a certain concept, I'd love to do that kind of thing, but it's harder since there's no resource that can tell you who was running what, and when. So, finding examples of something like Mesh before the Air Raid, or even tracking its spread after the Air Raid, would require a lot of luck and/or a TON of film study. I definitely want to do some breakdowns of influential offenses/defenses from the past, though, with a goal of showing how their schematic world was different from what we see today, and key concepts would definitely figure into that. In a perfect world, though, I'd build up a big enough audience to land some interviews with some of these guys, and then I could ask about specific concepts/plays, where they were coming from, what the thought process was, and all that. There are lots of superficial articles on coaching backgrounds, and there are a lot of resources aimed at coaches ("Here's how we run Cover-3"), but there isn't too much that combines a more technical schematic discussion with the historical angle, specifically, and I'd love to be the one to do it!

    Thanks! That means a lot. It's rare to see a team doing something truly unique, but Clawson and Ruggiero are pushing the limits of the RPO attack, especially when it comes to their blocking schemes. They solve a lot of problems that other downfield RPO attacks struggle with, and I think that a school of future offensive coaches that want to go down this path will develop and be forever indebted to them.

    Another option I see is for the RB to run some sort of Pass block/option route on the slow mesh RPOs. If a blitzer is there too quick for the RB to pickup after the mesh then it could be a quick 3-4 yard completion as well as it could help if the QB messed up and should’ve handed the ball off giving him another passing option.

X receivers crack block linebackers after the boundary receiver has motioned into the backfield to become basically an A back. This is all run out of formations that would usually signify a passing play. They show an option look and throw the ball. Or they don’t. The stress that Willy Korns offense puts on defenses is high. This isn’t Paul and Gawja Tech homie, Coastal can throw the ball, and they do a lot. Don’t be so passive aggressive, it’s mad feminine energy.

    I want to do some historical offenses/defenses, and a video on the Delaware Wing-T would be awesome and very do-able. The T formation stuff is harder to get film on at the college level, but if I can pull it off something on Clark Shaughnessy or Frank Leahy would be absolute gold, so I'll see what I can find! It's best if I can tie these videos to specific colleges, because that's what drives almost all of my search traffic.

    I have to wonder if the routes are choice routes for the WR’s and they’re taught to read the same thing as the QB. This makes things very, very interesting. Thanks for this video and all the work that went into it. Awesome content as always coach!

    In the Clawson clinic that I mention, he doesn't mention any choice routes on these RPO's. Their conflict on these plays is all coming from the balance between run vs. coverage numbers, and simplifying things for both their passing game and their run game by ensuring that neither is ever working into bad numbers. It's not really like the run and shoot, where the passing game is asked to solve most problems.

    Incredible research. I wonder what they teach their offensive lineman. If you got guys firing downfield off the LOS, you'd be running into a lot of ineligible calls downfield with that walk mesh. You can even see in one of the clips a couple of uncovered OL are slow to advance downfield, I assume partially because of this risk.

    Awesome video! I got one question tho: in a regular-timed RPO the pass is abled since the O-Line did not have the time to get downfield, therefore it's a legal play. However, on a slow mesh, you can see that the O-Line got up about 3-4 yards before the ball was released downfield (15:19). How is that legally possible? thank you, love your work!

    That's a problem for most RPO teams at some point, but you're right that the Slow Mesh does seem to increase the risk at first. I think #55's got a foot beyond 3 yards on that play, as you say, so they could've technically called it, but it's rarely called when it's that close. Kind of like holding or PI, you could call it on a lot of plays, but refs usually aren't too nit-picky about it. Wake Forest also accounts for this by adjusting their OL technique. Because of the concern about penetration, they are really 1st-level oriented, so the OL isn't looking to fire up and get up to the LB's as quickly as other teams would in a Zone scheme like this; WF's OL lets the LB's come to them, which helps limit ineligible receiver downfield calls.

As for the timing, I try to do my film study in pods so that I get the most out of each breakdown (e.g. I looked at both the Clemson D and Syracuse D vs. Pitt O and Wake O, so that I can get four videos from just four game breakdowns), so breaking down Pitt O vs. Syracuse D and making those two videos will be next, but I'm heading to B1G country next to try and hit the best units/some big programs there, and maybe sneak a ND video in as well, so Day will be one of the first few videos in that pod.
