In the early season, we deal with fine-tuning our schemes with a challenge being the fact that we may know very little about the opponent. Sure we can do our research on what they do, and the schemes they rely on but like our own teams there are new pieces to the puzzle that are being tested to see how they fit.  

Today we look at two approaches to handling the early season and think about how much can we do early, and then how we handle the imperfections of our schemes and the players executing them especially as they are continuing to learn and fine-tune their performance.

Our guests today are Steve Steele, Head Coach of 6x state champions RIggs HS in South Dakota, USFL Michigan Panthers Offensive Coordinator Eric Marty, and USFL Offensive Coordinator John Tomlinson. They share their insight on handling the early season progression of offense.
