Where this fits: this is a season update, not the starting point. It is what we ran and adjusted that year, and it builds on the Gun T RPO Playbook instead of replacing it. The books run in order, 2.0 through 7.0. If you are starting from scratch, get the Gun T RPO Playbook first at fbcoachsimpson.com/downloads/guntplaybook and come back to this one.

Gun-T Playbook 2.0 gives you answers for modern defenses.

Defenses change. Personnel changes.
Your offense has to evolve without losing its identity.

That’s exactly what Gun-T Playbook 2.0 was built to do.
