Book Reviews of Defending Spread Offense

Book Review: Essential Guide to Attacking the Spread Offense
Summary: 5 Stars

Coach Rice has put together an essential reference guide to attacking the spread offense. I have to strongly disagree here with the reviewer who claimed Rice only treats one kind of semi-spread offense -- that's simply not true. He devotes the last two chapters of the book to defending the most extreme version of the spread offense, the empty spread, from both odd- and even-front defenses, for example.

Coach Rice breaks his material down by fronts, coverages, and blitz schemes, and he walks you through each one so that you can find a useful set of tools for combating the spread, whether you run a 3-Stack, 4-3 Over or Under, or even the 46 Bear.

If you face spread offenses, you need this book. Highly recommended.

Summary of Defending Spread Offense

This second edition of the hugely successful Defending the Spread Offense examines why the spread offense has become so prevalent in the last few years, and offers the philosophy, concepts, tips and diagrams of current defensive strategies that give the reader necessary tools to successfully defend against the spread offense. Including information on formulating a defensive strategy, attacking various pass protection schemes, and a new chapter on fusing bracket coverage and pressure concepts versus the spread.
