Honest NFL

In order to save anyone the hassle of asking me about it, I decided to cave and put together a quick explanation on the private drive I post about on here. ===CONTENTS OF THE DRIVE=== INSTALLS — Hundreds of various forms of installs that I've compiled over the years from both sides of the ball (Special Teams coming soon) that span from high school to NFL. COVERAGE LIBRARY — An organized library of installs and materials from the installs and other sources. This is a favorite of most people I get feedback from. FILM — Although it's not the main focus of the drive, there is a hefty amount of college and NFL film that is cycled in & out. These are downloadable so that they can be kept even after they're cycled out. CUTUPS — One of the most informative parts of this drive are these cutups that are labeled and organized in a way that allow them to be used for teach tape. These are currently focused on the Reid system since it's the offense I'm able to provide context and additional resources for. MANUALS — Along with some position manuals that span from HS to NFL level, all of the documents I put together and use as teaching tools are available within the drive. This includes the "Winning With Pre-Snap" manual and a wide variety of glossaries. OFFENSIVE SYSTEM — The last main piece to this is my personal system's pass game materials. There are hundreds of diagrams and a complete manual that provide context to everything included in this folder. My system is built on a Reid/Pederson west coast foundation with some modern flourishes. Basically, if you are interested in learning the specifics about any of the following, this is an excellent resource for it. — Pass game concepts — Coverage mechanics — Quarterback process (Pre- & Post-Snap) — Quarterback fundamentals (footwork, etc.) — Teaching the pass game — The Andy Reid offense — The Vic Fangio defense — West Coast offense — Baltimore defensive system — Coverage techniques — Route running — Creating & implementing a system — Scouting opponents — Evaluating talent For those who are interested in access, it's now $20 (via CashApp or Venmo) up front to help offset the storage costs and allow for constant new updates. Instead of a subscription model, this is just a one time thing and you'll get access for good. If you are outside of the US, just contact me to work something out because I know those aren't available to you. The main goal is to share information rather than gatekeeping it, so if you aren't in a position to contribute, just let me know and I'll make it work…no questions asked. I'm not going to shut anyone out of these resources and I'm happy to help anyone who may not be in a position to contribute right now. I've been in that position many times before and others were always helpful to me, so don't hesitate to ask. Anyone can either just send it to CashApp ($TheHonestNFL) or Venmo (@TheHonestNFL) with their Gmail included so I can set you up, or get in touch with me. Just requesting access to the folder itself isn't an option anymore for reasons that are out of my control, so you need to go through me to get it.

It never gets old

MacNamara is hilarious to watch on the sideline, but he’s completely invested in every single possession like it’s the team’s last and I love it.

Updated Fangio staples of the Base and Sub packages.

@TheHonestNFL i have a bit of film on all of the fronts through the years, but all of it wasn’t clear (sub). it’s labeled Cassie, Cheat [Over w/ 9t], Flex [Over w/ 6t), Jet [Odd Victory], Mix, Shade. As for base what’s the diff between Tite, Tuff, Solid and Roll.

Love this call on the pick-6 by Hunt. They start in their normal Nickel Cassie look and stem into Penny to play Bandit where the Mike rushes and Sam/Will drop as rats (also known as Splinter, which is a great term). The front charge is basically the same as Wasp/Bee with the Nose working so Mike can loop around the Center.

@BeauBedene Looks way cooler

@TheHonestNFL I’m going to do the honor of proclaiming you the king of the visio shadow feature

The (Rt/Lt/#) part of the Roll Pack call has resulted in a lot of inquiries asking to explain, and it didn’t really detail the front aspect in any substantive way, so here’s the Roll front mechanism laid out.

@uhhhhhhhhnoir All Over fronts, but different modes of play and utilization. Cassie is the same as Cheat, but it’s set away from the HB in Gun rather than to the closed side. Flex is a more traditional Over front that is more suited to the run.

@TheHonestNFL What's the differences between Cheat(9)/Flex(6) and Cassie? All 3 seem like over fronts to me

Nobody is saying it’s revolutionary. It wasn’t explained in something that was previously posted, and that’s the only reason for it. It’s for the people who asked me for an explanation on it. There’s no need to be a douche on the internet when discussing front structures (or anything, really).

@TheHonestNFL Calls used to be “Shade strong, eagle weak” or eagle strong or double eagle. Point is this D has been run for yrs, known as a 5-2 or okie shade. 5-2 became known as a 3-4. All solid fundamentally sound, call what you want, but it’s not new or revolutionary. It’s all good.

@kcalpeguy Eagle front is what this would be if they were to just call it and close it based on the formation. This is a predetermined closed call mechanism that isn’t relative to the TE.

@TheHonestNFL What’s old is new. This used to be called a 5-2 shade. Closing the E (used to be called a T) was called an eagle. Good solid D, nothing out of the ordinary.

For the CP enthusiasts

Fangio Penny front and two of my favorite 3rd down fronts.

It’s great, yet also a shame that Sinners and One Battle After Another had to be released in this same year. Coogler and PTA are both deserving of every award they’re nominated for.

These are the final versions that will be going into the drive

My favorite fronts in the Fangio system are 50 & 60 with the built-in stems to Penny & 6-1, respectively. Zack Baun really allowed these to shine.

These are the final corrected versions that will be going into the drive

The primary Fangio Base fronts

@DownwiththeMets Yeah it should. I switched it to a slot formation instead of 3x1 to save space and just forgot to change it

@TheHonestNFL In the Tite ✔️ Gone, shouldn't that be a reduction to an over front instead since the 3t is set toward the te?

@Moonlightswami A plan for the ages

@TheHonestNFL when Belichick/Flores brought them out to combat McVay in the Super Bowl >>>>

Again, the non-Midnight Green version. These will be a featured prominently in Dallas as well.
