The 10 Questions You Need Answered Before the Season

The 10 Questions You Need Answered Before the Season

The hardest part of RPO football is not drawing it up. It’s keeping it productive once defenses have film and start changing the picture. Late rotation, fit changes, man-match, pressure, and bracket answers show up fast. These are the questions you want answered before the season starts.

1) What are defenses doing now to stop RPOs after they have film?

What fits are changing? Are rotations are showing up late? What pressure looks are being tied to your best calls?

2) When teams funnel the ball and add an extra fitter, what is your answer?

How do you keep the run game productive when the defense is daring you to “just hand it off.”

3) What holds up when teams go Cover 1, man-match, and bring pressure?

Where do you go when your access throws turn into contested throws and the QB is under heat.

4) How are you solving two-for-two and bracket problems from wide splits?

What you do when defenses stop playing zone space and start taking away your quickest wins.

5) What are the best “coverage lie detector” formations right now?

What top coaches are using to force the defense to declare and simplify the QB’s world.

6) What concepts still win when the picture is cloudy?

The calls you trust when you do not get a clean pre-snap answer.

7) How are you using motion with intent, not motion for motion’s sake?

What motions consistently give information, soften leverage, and create clean throws.

8) How do you build QB run answers from empty without messing up footwork?

If you want the plus-one advantage, how do you teach it clean when there is no mesh.

9) How do top play callers choose the weekly RPO menu?

How many tags stay “in” each week, who controls it, and how they avoid carrying too much.

10) How do you steal reps so the QB sees the read every day?

The practice solutions that keep RPO execution sharp without burning 30 minutes of team time.
