The Contrarian Edge for Football Offense by John T. Reed
$29.95 - Preparing for an opponent that runs the same offense and defense that you do, or that other opponents do, makes your preparation to play them much easier. Why do your opponents the same favor by running the most common/popular schemes? It's your duty to have contrarian tactics, contrarian plays, contrarian offense, defense, and special teams.

Single-Wing Offense for Youth Football by John T. Reed
$29.95 — Most recently known as the "Wildcat" offense used by the Dolphins and other teams in 2008, though not precisely the single-wing.
