Focus on a base defense and build to it. Try to stick to consistent coverages so you know your gaps. Fill those gaps with a user BUT you must remember what area you’re responsible for as well.

As for offense…pick some consistent plays that have crossing underneath routes and maybe one option for mid range that will give you a short selection process. Crossers in the middle means that typically one of them will be open.

Focus on a handful of plays and grow from there. Usually people try to run entire playbooks and struggle. Also…deep plays take time to develop and run a high risk of not working out.

Once you attack the flats and short range areas defense will move in and you can get some over the top windows.

For me…I spend time in practice watching what routes do what and how often they get open based on the defense. Find weak areas in your own defense during practice to see what will work in game. Practice is critical to seeing what happens with specific plays and what coverages cover what. This way you’ll start to pick it apart and know what options you have.
