8-Man Flexbone: Tossing from Empty
Video Description
In this video, I break down how to run the toss from empty in the 8-Man Flexbone offense. This play lets you get the ball outside fast while keeping defenses honest, even without a traditional backfield look. You’ll see why the Flexbone is built to give your players simple, repeatable answers against any defensive alignment.

Before the 2010 season, Falls City HS (TX) had never won a regional championship in school history.
In 2010, after running a camp with Lou Cella as Camp Director, Falls City HS (TX) won the Regional and State Championship for the first time in school history in Texas while scoring 680 points in 15 games.
“The biggest thing for us is that it gave our kids the opportunity to work together in our offensive system before the season started – the techniques and fundamentals they learned was so big, so was the team bonding, and so was having an outside source (Lou Cella) teaching them – this was invaluable.”
– Mark Kirchhoff, Head Football Coach
