COACHES SHOULD SELECT AND UTILIZE ENTRIES/PLAYS AND CONTINUITY OFFENSES THAT WILL SUCCESSFULLY ATTACK OPPOSING TEAMS’ OVERALL DEFENSIVE WEAKNESSES—

Every opposing man-to-man defense has inherent team weaknesses. Coaching staff should learn the opponents’ particular styles of the defenses that are being used so that the offense may attack and take advantage of the general weaknesses of each defense. Every man-to-man defense has specific strengths and weaknesses of the overall opposition’s man defense. Coaches should study and know the particular styles of the man-to-man defense being used against their team to avoid the strengths and probe the inherent weaknesses of that style of defense. An opponent’s seemingly defensive strength might be able to be converted into a weakness with the proper offensive scheming. While also searching for that defensive weakness, the opposition’s defensive transition skills might be the key weakness. Once discovered, those weaknesses can be attacked and capitalized on by the offense.
