INTRO + INFO

 

Intro / Info

As promised here’s a full offensive scheme in celebration of 20,000 subscribers over on YouTube. Much love to all of you who have supported me over there & especially those of you who chose to become Members on the site.

If you’re new to the site this is pretty much what all of our schemes look like. This is the perfect place to elevate your game so definitely consider becoming a member & gain access to all of our schemes acemadden.com/memberships

ADDITIONAL INFO

Playbook: Miami Dolphins
Formations: Gun Split Close Pro, Gun Split Close, IForm Close, Strong Close

IMPORTANT NOTE
Every single setup in this offense is going to be STRONG SIDE to SHORT SIDE. If the ball is on the right hash – your TE should be on the right side & vice versa.

 

Hash Info / Play Design

All of the setups in this ebook are designed with the STRONG SIDE to SHORT SIDE. The easy way to remember this is your TE should always be on the same side as the ball. (Right Hash = TE on right)
