It’s even made its way to the high school level. Gwen Lawrence has two Super Bowl rings as the yoga instructor for the Giants for 16 seasons.

It’s another week of looking at some possible adjustments, tweaks, and wrinkles to keep your offense and defense rolling. Offense We are hitting mid-season and teams have gotten a chance to see what you do. They are studying you on film and trying to hone in on your tendencies. The last thing you want is your offense to bog down. Finding a way to pick up a chunk of yardage or even a touchdown at a critical time can help propel your team towards its goals. Adding a screen to what you already do can be a great way to get an explosive play and break a tendency. If you already run screens, you can make your screen game more multiple or add a screen to some of your best runs, passes, or even add to a wrinkle that you have already added. Defensively, it's not necessarily about adding another blitz or stunt but refining the ones you have. This involves identifying techniques which can be improved and focusing on how you can work those in practice. On special teams it is also about refinement by identifying a

Hopefully your team is finding success in the Red Zone. It can make a huge difference in any game. The red zone requires some thoughts and adjustments on both sides of the ball. For the offense, vertical space is decreasing and causes them to adjust their route concepts. They look for formations and routes that help them get free of tight coverage. In the run game they look to add hats especially as a defense commits more to the run. The defense must adjust and stay out of situations where the offense is picking off defenders and getting a receiver wide open. The defense needs to be able to react quickly and commit to stopping the run. Both sides of the call must have a plan and execute if they want to win on this part of the field. Today we share adjustments for each side of the ball in the Red Zone. Offense: -QB run with Swing Screen -Swing Screen action adjustment vs OLB causing issues -Empty with multiple quicks/hots -Using Zone run/pass pro vs. pressure -Play action Defense: -Alignment to not
