Another week of the #SchemeVault illustrates the creativity of some of the most innovative minds in football from high school, to college, and the NFL continues to impress me with their outside-the-box approach.
Let’s dig in.
This successful onside in a high school game is unreal!

Wheaton (D-III – IL) putting their own spin on a play that has been featured a number of different ways, from a number of different teams in past weeks on the #SchemeVault
Wheaton College (D-III from Illinois) running Outside Zone Short Reverse out of Double Wing.
This is essentially the under center version of the Touch Pass that everyone’s been running on the GL this year. pic.twitter.com/BkIJApfm3A

Unbalanced set from the Chiefs that would make Stanford jealous…and they run play action out of it
Andy Reid is just having too much fun this season. He’s a wizard. 3rd and 1 and you’d think w/this formation he’s running duo into the boundary towards the heavy formation. Nope. Instead he finds the fullback on a rollout. @Chiefs pic.twitter.com/gUW42G5uU1

Pistol counter from Clemson where they pull the center
I can’t get enough of this Pistol Center/H-Back Counter from Clemson!
▪️Wake runs ”Eddy” (End to the B-Gap) leading to a Gap Exchange with the Mike LB (Mike takes over the C-Gap)
▪️Center adjusts to Kick/Log Block the Mike LB
▪️H-Back bounces to the Overhang Defender
