Eagles (SFCHS) vs Bishops School · How We Attack Their Defense · 264 Clips Analyzed
Bishops gave up 8 plays of 15+ yards in this film. Their secondary breaks down on vertical routes and crossers. This is not a bend-don't-break defense — it bends AND breaks.
Our offense ran 49% and passed 51% — and it worked. Bishops cannot load up against run OR pass because we can go either way. Don't become one-dimensional.
Their defense has seen LOOSE the most (20 snaps). They may have tendencies vs LOOSE. Come out in a different look — TRIO, STACK, or TURBO — and hit them with our best plays out of unfamiliar sets.
Y SPECIAL A JERK went for 32 yards. Crossing routes stress their linebackers and reveal their coverage. They struggled to carry crossers from hash to hash.
They faced EMPTY 3 times in film — small sample. Go EMPTY more than they've seen. A 5-wide set with our QB in shotgun will expose their LB coverage ability. They likely don't have LBs who can cover slots.
If they load the box against our run, they create soft coverage behind. B PARROT look into play-action = high percentage deep ball opportunity.
Bishops allowed 24 rush plays in this film. They are not run-dominant stoppers. B PARROT is our bread-and-butter — and it gashed them before. Run it in EVERY game plan.
| Run Play | Formation | Why It Works |
|---|---|---|
| B PARROT | Split / TRAIN motion | 67-yd TD against them — this is our best run. Go to it early and often |
| B PARROT LEAD | Under TEA | Short-yardage specialist — 3rd&2 conversion in film |
| B PARROT GUARD | Split | 41-yd TD in film — guard pull creates cutback lane |
| DINO | Trio | B-gap right — consistent 6-9 yard gainer from Trio |
| A TIGER JET TOSS | Jet motion sets | Gets speed to the perimeter — puts defense in conflict |
Go STACK or TURBO — both are 100% pass and our best shot plays. F JAILBREAK (46yds) and NINER (TD) are clock-eaters in the best way. No huddle, STACK formation, hit the vertical.
Only run if you need a yard. B PARROT LEAD in under 2 min for a 3rd-and-short conversion. Don't let the clock die — keep the pass game active until you need to bleed time.
Open the 2-min with F JAILBREAK. If it hits, you're in field goal range or scoring. If incomplete, clock stops. No-risk, maximum reward. This is their biggest pass play — have it ready.
Y SPECIAL A JERK (32yds) is your checkdown safety net — it's a crossing route that can pick up 15-20 yards even when other routes are covered. Call it on 2nd-and-long.
STACK alignment forces single-high coverage — the seam is always open. NINER hits the #2 receiver releasing inside off the stack. When Bishops goes single-high (you'll see both safeties not at 12 yards), NINER is the call.

F JAILBREAK — their cornerback bailed hard at the snap, giving a full cushion on the F receiver's vertical route. When Bishops shows soft coverage (CBs 8+ yards off), run TURBO and launch it vertical immediately. Their safeties aren't fast enough to rotate in time.

After running B PARROT LEFT multiple times, the guard-pull RIGHT (B PARROT GUARD) caught the defense flowing the wrong way. 41-yard TD. Key teaching point: mix the direction of your B PARROT family to exploit over-pursuit. Bishops' defense does over-pursue to flow.

TURBO formation spread the defense wide. The Y receiver ran a crossing/jerk route — 32 yards. Bishops' LBs are slow to close on crossers in space. When Bishops walks linebackers up to stop the run, hit them with TURBO crossers behind the blitz.

TROUT from TRIO — the defense bit on the formation expecting DINO. TROUT hit a different gap for 12 yards. Key: mix your TRIO run plays. DINO and TROUT run from the same formation — run both to keep the defense honest. The crease opens when they over-commit to one gap.
