Revision Date: 9/12/2008
Note:
This PDF file contains both Offense &
Defense
Offensive Tip: All the plays contain a formation, a number and
the actual play, example: 7 2 2 Buck
The third digit of the number in the play always
tells what hole the carrier runs through.
7 2 2 Buck
This part is the actual play “Buck”
This part of the play is the formation
“7” (see formations on page 5).
The second digit of the number in the play always
tells which back will carry the ball.
So in this play the 2 Back carries the ball through the 2 hole. To see how the holes are
numbered, see Basic Offensive Guidelines(a) on page 2.

Huddle:
Q
Play Calling:
•Play is called with the first number telling the formation.
•Second number called will tell what back will carry the ball.
•Third number called will tell what hole the ball will be run through.
QB will …
•Receive the call from sideline
•Call the play to right side of huddle, then release the center.
•Call the play to left side of huddle, followed by “Ready” and “Break”, at which time all players will clap their hands at once and yell “Break!”.
•Players will then sprint to the line of scrimmage.

•Center is lined up directly over the ball.
•Guards will line up off of Center as far as legally allowed (helmet should be even with the Center’s waist, see image above)
•Tackles and Ends will line up even with the Guards.

Play Calling (continued):
•All linemen will have 1 foot splits.
The 4 Back will …
•Always go to the “Y” End side.
•Line up 1 yard outside and 1 yard deep from “Y” End in 6, 7 8 and 9 formations.
•Line up in 2 point stance with hands on thigh pads.
•Lines up in a 2 point stance, 1 yard from line of scrimmage and facing the line of scrimmage.
The 2 Back will …
•Line up behind QB, almost within reach.
•Always be in a 3 point stance.
The 3 Back will …
•Line up on the opposite side of the 4 Back in a 6 & 7 formation and on the same side as the 4 Back in the “Strong” formations.
•Line up to the inside eye of the Tackle, about ½ a step back from the 2 Back, facing the line of scrimmage, in a 2 point stance, with hands on thigh pads.
•The X End will always be opposite the 4 Back.
•The Y End will line up on the same side as the 4 Back.
The QB will have three basic steps for running plays (imagine a clock):
•An Open 45 – which would be open to 3 o’clock or 9 o’clock (open meaning to the play side).
•A Reverse 90 – which would be opening away from the play side to 6 o’clock.
•A Reverse 45 – which would be opening away from the play side to 7 o’clock or 4 o’clock.

QB Pivots:
In order to be more precise about where to step, we will refer in play descriptions to the quarterback’s first step. It is useful to remember that as a general rule the
QB pivots to face the man in motion. As for the precise step to take, we find it easiest to to teach him to think as though he is standing just about in the middle of
a large clock face (actually he is slightly above the exact middle). Because we so often expect the QB to turn his back completely to the line, we teach him to
stand slightly pigeon-toed in a narrow stance…

MOTION
There are 4 types of Motion
•Rocket (full speed motion across the formation to the right)
•Laser (full speed motion across the formation to the left)
•Rip (shuffle motion to the right at a 45 degree angle toward the 2 back)
•Liz (shuffle motion to the left at a 45 degree angle toward the 2 back)
* Motion calls beginning with the letter “R” go to the right and motion calls beginning with the letter “L” go to the left.
These motion examples are using the 900 formation:

Man-On Blocking
All the opponents are numbered starting at the nose
guard or zero man. As you move away from the zero
man, either left or right, the first man you come to is
number 1, then number 2, 3 etc.

This back is numbered as “1” even though
he is a back because he is the first man you
come to as you work your way left from the
center or 0 man.
We got a nose guard,
so we must have a 5
man front!

Tight 922 Wedge
(#2 Back stays in wedge)
S
S
The Wedge is the ultimate team
play, in effect concentrating
the force of 9 blockers at the
point of attack.
Three things can defeat the wedge:
1)
Allowing the wedge to stop.
2)
A hard rush around the
outside, catching the runner
from behind.
3)
Penetration of the walls of the
wedge, it must stay intact!

At the snap of the ball players
quickly form a wedge around the
2 back by lining up inside
shoulder with the outside
shoulder on the man in front of
you.
T
T
E
C
Y
4
Q
IMPORTANT – The wedge must be formed quickly and prior to opponent contact. The team needs to keep it really tight
to avoid penetration and keep their feet moving to keep the ball alive!
•QB: If it’s on “GO”, make sure everyone is set. Step out of the Back’s path with your right foot. Nothing fancy, just hand him the ball. Then follow the wedge looking into
the line and be prepared to cover the ball should there be a fumble.
•3 & 4 Backs: Hustle inside and block “YOUR TACKLE” and keep you feet moving. You should never attempt to push the ball carrier, instead stay behind your Tackle
and push him up field while guarding against opponents that may try to slip in from behind the wedge.
•2 back: Hit quickly with no delay. Be prepared to dive over the pile should things stack up. Otherwise, push the wedge. Take lots of short choppy steps with knees high.
Keep your eyes open and look for daylight.

“Off 3”

“Off 3” is audible called by backs when offense is unbalanced or unrecognized and it just changes the play to the basic “Tough 3”.
Example: Coach calls
“Tough Slant 3” but
offense comes out
unbalanced. S&W
should call “Unbalanced”
& “Off 3” and move the
front four down one row.
