Joe Moorhead was the offensive coordinator at Oregon in 2020 and 2021 and his offense had great success. He also has had an excellent offense at other places he went, including Penn State in 2016 and 2017. That is part of the reason he has been hired as the new head coach at Akron.
Joe Moorhead Offensive Principles:
Joe Moorhead has been running his system for a long time.
1. QB Run Game-QB Pin and Pull, some power and various read draw components.
2. RPO Game, He has some great RPO's and answers. You will see some creative RPO's to the boundary and off a very solid run game.
3. Run Game
A. DUO
B. Pin and Pull
4. Vertical and horizontal pass concepts that stress 1 defender.
5. Using the RB in creative pass plays and heavily in the pass game.
A. Mesh wheel play is a staple in his offense and they love to use the RB in the passing game.
PIN AND PULL(Read)
He uses a few concepts with pin and pull to attack the edge. At times he will run crack toss and at others he will read it and block the 2nd level with the crack block.
The first play is the outside zone read with a pull component. I know some people call it a different play but to me it's Pin and Pull with a read component.
Let's look at the pin and pull to start. After we discuss the play you will see 5 clips on it.
They run it quite a bit to the boundary, with a crack block. It is highly effective vs man to man coverage as you will get some 2 for 1 at times with the crack block by the Tight end.
They had great success with the scheme against Ohio State.
11 personnel
They knew they were getting cover 1 so they run it to the boundary. They get nice 2 for 1 with the WR cracking on the LB. They also know Ohio State was trying to spill and sending the DE down hard. It allowed the guard to not even block him(read key) and get on the edge.
12 personnel- TOSS PLAY
Play variation, they toss it and block pin and pull.
Motion man cracks on the de
On ball TE blocks and cracks 2nd level.
LT and Center pull after TE seals the edge
The 2nd time they run it they do it out of 12 personnel with a flexed TE and off ball TE in twins. They get man coverage. Hard to crack replace when in man coverage.
Same play as earlier. This time with the H Back in motion. Nice design, different look, but pre snap motion tells the offense it's man coverage. They get a 2 for 1 on the Edge with the crack vs man coverage.
Here are 5 versions of how they attack the boundary with their pin and pull blocking scheme.
They design a nice QB pin and pull off of motion. They get both the LB and CB to react and get a nice surface with the 6i to the tight end. Stanford OLB cuts the guard and does a decent job but the QB makes a nice run for a 12 yard gain.
This is part 1 of the Moorhead offense. Next up Part 2 RPO Game
