Charles Fishduck; thank you so much for this series, I found you and the website in Feb 2014 when I first learned about CFB; Smartfootball, and I was watching 2013 season in the offseason, trying to understand this wacky new world (to me). Im in NYC, a gaping hole in Friday and Sat football. Love to see Ducks like Herbert, Kayvon, Penei Sewell, succeed in NFL and that's going to keep the recruits coming.
Yeah Fishduck is a treasure. Seems he got busy or despondent when the Ducks had a coaching carousel for a few years. It sucks; CFB teams esp need continuity but they're human beings, they're gonna chase the bigger $$. Nike's founder can only donate so much.
I watched an Oregon game at Buffalo Wild Wings about a year ago and they put up almost 70 points in the game. It was impressive and I became an instant fan.
Nice work. Lifetime Seminole fan but I love to watch Oregon play. Watching Oregon reminds me of watching old FSU. When Bobby Bowden would call any play at anytime and keep the defense off balance.
Even though I'm not an Oregon fan (Huskers, GO BIG RED!), I really enjoyed your tutorials. I also am a fan of the Washington Redskins, so now I understand much better what they were doing last year with RGIII and company.
@large74 I think the reason you saw the offense struggle against LSU and Auburn is because those teams were bigger and more physical one the defensive line than Oregon was on the offensive line. In order for any offense to work (including Oregon's) the offensive line has to win the battle at the point of attack. In the NFL I think this offense could work because there is not a huge gap in separation team to team in the trenches. Every team is big and physical and both sides.
@large74 I agree. I am a Alabama fan and my father went there during the Bear Bryant era but I really like this offense and other variations such as the triple option. I enjoyed seeing Denver try some of it this year although they were limited due to their offensive personnel and an OC that had no experience with that type of offense. I would like to see what a team could do if they committed to this kind of offense more in terms of drafting players that fit the style.
the basis of the offense is the inside and outside reads with play action and ancellary plays there seem to be vaiations of the plays themselves. at 11:15 against sc that is a trap with a fold block, no read on it. at 9:09, 9:15 and 10:03 the defenses are left with only two people on the weak side, the tackle doubles down and the back breaks to the back side with the qb reading the de, that is actually veer action. they are counting the front and running a variety of plays depending on numbers
+adam shekerjian This is not a true statement at all. There are plenty of coaches who've never played football. @Metacom don't listen to this false statement.
+Marcus Carter I wouldn't say he's completely wrong. he needs to know the basic skills such as a proper defensive 3 point stance and proper offensive three point stance. how to block, tuck the ball, backpedal ect. also its the law that he's gotta show people how to tackle or he'll have a lawsuit. doesnt mean he has to play football but playing football is the BEST way to learn that stuff.
kodiakid.....go into the website and look at the presentation Chip Kelly gave at the coaches convention...in it he said that the IZR sets up the OZR because the DL tightens up their alignment which makes sealing the outside easier for the OZR. That's what Chip says, but it's good-or-good. I like your way too!
@mrkeeaumoku Thank you for the response, although im a big usc fan. I was excited to see the spread in the NFL with chip Kelley going to Tampa. I guess we will have to wait.
you basically eliminate a defender without blocking him. once you can run effectively, they move people into the box which opens up the passing game. simple
The announcers "Get confused" because literally anyone can be turned into the read key. One play the Mike can be your key, the next play the D end a d Will backer will be the 2 reads. So in their defense that is why it is hard to tell in just a couple seconds of analyzing.
Great vid, except as Nick Saban would say, all that strategy of the zone option read is for nothing when the O-line can't make their blocks. And after watching that title game between Oregon and Auburn, I'd say it's true.
You do know that the Announcers are semi correct when they called it the veer. Technically its not a veer, but the principles are basically using the exact same principles as the veer teams
I played against these schemes in high school and college, also played against the wishbone, which is rarely seen. But with the right players virtually unstoppable.
I made the diagrams! And I apologize to all who have commented and I have not responded. More videos at FishDuck.com and look for the tab "Videos" at top.
Announcing was truly awful as far as learning why a play happened. Televised 'analysis' was even worse; amounting to arguing 'Does Tony Romo Have what it takes to win in this league?" "Is Romo a winner?" And before that Bledsoe. Arguing about Cowboys QBs grit, was HALF of the hour long shows. I found Smartfootball, Footballoutsiders film room, lots of guys who don't write anymore to actually LEARN what happened last Sunday and what might happen next sunday. Talk shows, talk radio, is for the idiots who don't want to learn about coverages, run fits, 3 technique, Whats ACTUALLY happening on field.
Abbie has aged well, and still loves cheese and is simply a wonderful dog. She is half Shar-Pei, of which is horrendously aggressive in the breed's native China, and the other half is Pit-Bull, and I don't have to tell you THAT reputation. This should be a terrible, terrible aggressive and combative dog...but is not. These dogs just want to please their owners, and are incredible pliable and will learn and adjust to anything. Teach them to be a killer--and they will to please you. Teach them to be a sweetheart--and they will and life with them is a beach. It is not just an expression, but the truth, "it all comes down to the owner." Pit Bulls are incredibly happy cheerful dogs, but their weakness is their propensity to please. They will kill for you if taught that way. They will be superb dogs with children and family for you as well if taught that way. My daughter has taught this dog superbly. My only regret is their limited life-span. We love Abbie, and thank you for asking!
the "talking heads" do know what they are talking about. this is a very well known concept and has been for years. you have a few things wrong. 1. the zone, inside or outside, isnt designed to go to any particular "hole"...the back carrying the ball is running to space. this isnt a traditional "numbered" offensive running scheme. 2. the "veer" thing is wrong. you guys may be running "inside zone" but it is functioning as a veer. the downhill angle, the direction of the read. its a veer option.
Oregon lost the 2012 Nat'l championship to...another team that was running a spread-option offense. Auburn's version of the offense was a little different though.
I appreciate these videos, but the way you say that the quarter back is zone reading is incorrect. He isn't zone reading, he is just reading. The zone comes from the blocking scheme. You run zone, with a read component by the qb. Not that the qb is zone reading the defense.

Nice video, nice dog also, thanks for posting it... my dog is a "Golden Retriever" he is often spotted with a Cardinal collar. His name is Traveler and he hates Ducks. Well, actually he likes to chase them down much like my Trojans will do to those Darn Ducks this year! We gonna pay you boys back this year and reestablish PAC-12 dominance... Yep, things will get back to normal in 2014...........We R SC!
professional linebackers much harder to block then college linebackers. im skeptical just cause it's chip's first year but u know McCoy will have a 1,000 yd season for sure... iono about 1400 tho...
Mike McCarthy decides to incorporate the Oregon option scheme into his playbook: "Here's a play for you Rodgers: fake the inside handoff to Lacy who sweeps wide right, then run off left tackle. If the cornerback is waiting for you, then turn it back inside and fight for extra yards." The play sends Rodgers screaming towards the sidelines, where a 250 pound linebacker pummels his ass out of bounds. Packer fans are aghast. This is the essence of the spread option, and why it will ruin football.
The Quack-Attack should have been highly effective vs. aggressive SEC speed, and "D" intensity. Those boys were scared, which is why they R Ducks not Trojans. Its tough being on top. OU walked in Trojan sized shoes for 9 years but couldn't close the deal as we have so many times. Yep, Ducky have nothing to show for it. Be advised: Only we can stop the SEC, no other program is legendary enough to derail them, all others have failed, no other is worthy, to slay the beast. We R Coming..... WE R SC!
Lighten up Skippy, or make your own instructional videos. Why are there so many wanna-be Trojans here? Do I need to dumb it down for you guys? WE DON'T PLAY YOU THIS YEAR. Look it up dummies. REAL Trojan fans are classy and never post the crap I've seen here.

As a Virginia Tech fan, I loved how you broke down everything for the lay-fan. Please keep it up as Oregon is my second fav. team!
i love the zone read ...so simple yet very complex for the defense to defend
I watched an Oregon game at Buffalo Wild Wings about a year ago and they put up almost 70 points in the game. It was impressive and I became an instant fan.
Nice work. Lifetime Seminole fan but I love to watch Oregon play. Watching Oregon reminds me of watching old FSU. When Bobby Bowden would call any play at anytime and keep the defense off balance.
Great video. I'd read Chip's description of the plays but nice to see so many of them cut up in one video!
Really enjoyed this, this is pretty much what we as coaches explain to our players. Well done sir.
I'm a Brit learning the game - got loads from this video, thanks! More please!
Even though I'm not an Oregon fan (Huskers, GO BIG RED!), I really enjoyed your tutorials. I also am a fan of the Washington Redskins, so now I understand much better what they were doing last year with RGIII and company.
Thank you so much, Charles! You are the best, sir! I would also like to hear more about what Abbie thinks of the IZR & OZR. Vicki & Blazer

Fantastic video, you made it very easy to understand, even as an Australian college football fan!
Very informative. Thanks from a casual, but rabid Penn State fan.
I love learning the small details of football better. Thank you. I'm looking forward to the games the next 4 years. Go Utes!
@FishDuck83 "the talking heads at ESPN would say they're running the veer and blah blah blah RIN TIN TIN" hahahaha great job man
Charles, I'm always interested in our Oregon Ducks and wish to thank you for this post.
Fish on! Go Ducks! WTD!
49er fan watching these videos!
Same here
+amcynic Yup and I'm about to share the hell out of this as well! #NNNNiiiinnnneeeerrrrssss!!!!
+Ronbo Sports look at u ronbo lurking lol
"Bill Walsh...is my favorite coach of All Time, his offense had me in awe as a child" !!!
This is great! Simple and to the point. Looking forward to putting it to use during game time.

I watch these videos so i can become a coach when i grow up
if you wanna coach you gotta play. there's so much you won't understand until you're making reads on whatever keys your position requires.
+adam shekerjian This is not a true statement at all. There are plenty of coaches who've never played football. @Metacom don't listen to this false statement.
+Metacom Football Don't listen to this. You can do whatever you want to do as long as you put in the time and effort.
+Marcus Carter I wouldn't say he's completely wrong. he needs to know the basic skills such as a proper defensive 3 point stance and proper offensive three point stance. how to block, tuck the ball, backpedal ect. also its the law that he's gotta show people how to tackle or he'll have a lawsuit. doesnt mean he has to play football but playing football is the BEST way to learn that stuff.
Thanks Charles...learned a lot watching this...
GO DUCKS!
kodiakid.....go into the website and look at the presentation Chip Kelly gave at the coaches convention...in it he said that the IZR sets up the OZR because the DL tightens up their alignment which makes sealing the outside easier for the OZR.
That's what Chip says, but it's good-or-good. I like your way too!
Great analysis. I love Xs and Os.
This aged well. Great tutorial, but the music is beyond distracting.
Awesome video, can't wait to see more of your work in the future!
my football coach told me we going to be running this offense so he told us to look this up
I'm not an lsu fan, but why did the offense fail? Would it be the same reason the offense is not ran in the NFL. Or was it the speed of the defense?
@mrkeeaumoku
Thank you for the response, although im a big usc fan. I was excited to see the spread in the NFL with chip Kelley going to Tampa. I guess we will have to wait.
Really great work. It will be hard to top this vid.
you basically eliminate a defender without blocking him.
once you can run effectively, they move people into the box which opens up the passing game. simple
Nick F stuff like this makes me confident in what chip is doing.
Spectacularpooh24 but this is the nfl it could be stopped, you never know
Nick F its more than that but that's a summary
The announcers "Get confused" because literally anyone can be turned into the read key. One play the Mike can be your key, the next play the D end a d Will backer will be the 2 reads. So in their defense that is why it is hard to tell in just a couple seconds of analyzing.
It seems like Kelley understands the Art of War. When you want to attack a point, make the opponent believe you will strike the other.
Hi Charles. Do you think Chip would still be effect as a college coach?...thxs
So cool! I can't believe I never noticed! Thanks man.
amazing info and illustration. Thanks
can you post links to that article by chip kelly?
Great video.
I hope the Ravens Staff are looking into this for preparation for the game this Sunday Night....
Great vid, except as Nick Saban would say, all that strategy of the zone option read is for nothing when the O-line can't make their blocks. And after watching that title game between Oregon and Auburn, I'd say it's true.
how can i download that chip kely presentation?
question whats a coach's convention
Excellent video.
Damn, makes me respect Stanford's defense even more.
Hope Kenjon is still around the 3rd or 4th round... or even Kyle Long too. The more Oregon guys on the team the faster the Eagles can get it going.
@ModernDayPoet - yup!!! This was an excellent breakdown on their offense...
Legendary video
WOW this was an amazing video
Great Work!
You do know that the Announcers are semi correct when they called it the veer. Technically its not a veer, but the principles are basically using the exact same principles as the veer teams
This is perfect for any football newbie
I played against these schemes in high school and college, also played against the wishbone, which is rarely seen. But with the right players virtually unstoppable.
well there will be an adjustment if it gets figured out.
What a great job ! love it
Great video!
This helped a lot!
I'm gonna use this for recess.
How did you find the diagrams?
I made the diagrams! And I apologize to all who have commented and I have not responded. More videos at FishDuck.com and look for the tab "Videos" at top.
Love the digs on announcers...then...Romostradamus emerges

Nice Vid Fish!
Vols fan watching this in anticipation of Chip Kelly being new HC.
not happening buddy hes coming home to Gainesville florida to be with us. sorry for the bad news buddy haha
Love this! Great work!
where's the, 'Doesn't work against SEC defenses' disclaimer?
So, how's Abbie doing?
Abbie has aged well, and still loves cheese and is simply a wonderful dog. She is half Shar-Pei, of which is horrendously aggressive in the breed's native China, and the other half is Pit-Bull, and I don't have to tell you THAT reputation.

They will kill for you if taught that way. They will be superb dogs with children and family for you as well if taught that way.
My daughter has taught this dog superbly. My only regret is their limited life-span.

nice vid fish
Damn good. I just learned alot
Lol you posted this about a month before they played LSU! 😂😂
thx for the vid
Nice video, nice dog also, thanks for posting it... my dog is a "Golden Retriever" he is often spotted with a Cardinal collar. His name is Traveler and he hates Ducks. Well, actually he likes to chase them down much like my Trojans will do to those Darn Ducks this year! We gonna pay you boys back this year and reestablish PAC-12 dominance... Yep, things will get back to normal in 2014...........We R SC!
awesome, thank you
how do you put text like this czcams.com/video/ekf3RGWwqMQ/video.html#t=448 in the video, what programs are used?
Haha! Yes!! Gotta' love the SEC!
This is now the 49ers offense in a nutshell. It is no coincidence that we have LaMichale James.
professional linebackers much harder to block then college linebackers. im skeptical just cause it's chip's first year but u know McCoy will have a 1,000 yd season for sure... iono about 1400 tho...
this is the triangle offense for football
Mike McCarthy decides to incorporate the Oregon option scheme into his playbook: "Here's a play for you Rodgers: fake the inside handoff to Lacy who sweeps wide right, then run off left tackle. If the cornerback is waiting for you, then turn it back inside and fight for extra yards."

No shit--he said that at the very beginning of the video. Its for *casual* viewer.
this is the year where USC handed you your asses at your house.
I hope ohio states defense watches this
They are in good hands with Urban Meyer. www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2015/01/mark_helfrich_on_relationship.html
lol I know I'm a year late but I think they beat the hell out of them :)
Go Eagles!
LeSean McCoy + Chip offense = Oregon O on steriods
FIGHT ON!
7:07 Thats what she said
yeee u tell em nigga
north central lakers all the way bruhhhhhhhh
SC, or anyone else for that matter, is no match for the SEC. ROLL TIDE! Rammer Jammer Yellow Hammer.
Im ganna deck someone
Trollbait.
What the fuck was the point of the dog..?
...and the NFL thot it would work...chip got greedy! chip had the hottest female in the state and let her go
Lighten up Skippy, or make your own instructional videos.
Why are there so many wanna-be Trojans here? Do I need to dumb it down for you guys? WE DON'T PLAY YOU THIS YEAR. Look it up dummies.
REAL Trojan fans are classy and never post the crap I've seen here.
oh look how these plays didn't work against the SEC and couldn't win the ducks a national championship...lol.
and look how these plays didn't work against Stanford...and they are only a decent defensive team...wah wah wah wah...and nice cliche.
They should not put this on youtube
