FAKE 46 ACTION
8 ROUTE CONCEPT
3RD NUMBER
IS THE ROUTE CONCEPT
IT TELLS THE OUTSIDE RECEIVER THEIR ROUTE
EVERYONE ELSE MUST KNOW THE COMPLIMENTARY ROUTE TO THE PRIMARY ROUTE
IN 100 SERIES THE ROUTES ARE “MIRRORED” BY BOTH STRONG AND WEAK SIDE
READ GAME (QUICK 3 STEP DROP)

PASS PROTECTION NUMBER SYSTEM
80, 90
• SLIDE STEP AND HINGE PROTECTION…TURN YOU BUTT TO THE SPRINT SIDE
• BOTH BACKS BLOCK TO SPRINT SIDE UNLESS INVOLVED IN ROUTE
EXAMPLE:
“85”
80 SERIES SPRINT RIGHT
5 ROUTE CONCEPT
100
• BIG ON BIG FOR LINE
• NO BACK PROTECTION
• EVERYONE ON A ROUTE
• MIRROR ROUTES ON BOTH SIDES UNLESS THE PLAY IS “TAGGED”
• QUARTERBACK IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PLAY SIDE LINE BACKER
EXAMPLE:
“103”
100 PROTECTION WITH A 3 ROUTE CONCEPT
“100 BOUNCE”
100 PROTECTION WITH A TAGGED ROUTE “BOUNCE”
PRE DETERMINED ROUTES
200,300 – “READ” GAME
• QUICK GAME – 3 STEP DROP
• 200 TO THE RIGHT – 200,201,202,203,208,209
• 300 TO THE LEFT – 300,301,302,303,308,309
• BACKSIDE OF LINE CUP PROTECTS INSIDE GAP TO PLAYSIDE
• PLAYSIDE OF LINE AGGRESSIVELY BLOCKS MAN ON (OT CHOPS)
• FULLBACK HAS PSLB, TAILBACK HAS WSLB
• BOTH BACKS BLOCK UNLESS MOTION OUT TO AN OPEN FORMATION WHERE
THEY ARE INVOLVED IN A ROUTE
THE READ GAME CONCEPT IS 200 AND 300 SERIES

“Check with me” ON THE LINE SYSTEM
EXAMPLE:
“201”
200 PROTECTION WITH 1 ROUTE CONCEPT OUT OF THE READ GAME PACKAGE
400,500
• 5 STEP DROP ½ ROLL
• 400 TO THE RIGHT
• 500 TO THE LEFT
• PLAYSIDE OF LINE AGGRESSIVELY BLOCKS MAN ON
• FULLBACK HAS PSLB, TAILBACK HAS WSLB
• BOTH BACKS BLOCK UNLESS MOTION OUT TO AN OPEN FORMATION WHERE
THEY ARE INVOLVED IN A ROUTE
• TAGGED PASS PLAYS MAY BE RUN OUT OF 400 OR 500 AS WELL
EXAMPLE:
“404”
400 Protection with “4” Route concept
“442 Cross”
400 Protection
Fake 42 Lead
TAG: “Cross” route concept
“549 - 8 Route”
500 Protection
Fake 49 G Action
“8” Route Concept
600,700
• 700 TO THE LEFT
• FULL BACK BLOCKS PSLB
• TAILBACK SWINGS OR IS ON PRE DETERMINED ROUTE (MAY SWITCH
RESPONSIBILITIES WITH FULLBACK ON CERTAIN PLAYS)
SAME AS 400,500 FOR LINE…THE TAILBACK SWINGS INSTEAD OF BLOCKS UNLESS HE IS

INVOLVED IN THE FAKE…THE FULLBACK WILL NOW BE IN THE ROUTE (THEY SWITCH
RESPONSIBILITIES)
WILL RUN A LOT OF PLAYACTION OUT OF THIS
EXAMPLE:
“708”
700 PROTECTION
8 ROUTE CONCEPT WITH TAILBACK SWINGING/FLAIR
“652 SLAM”
600 PROTECTION
FAKE 52 VEER
TAG “SLAM” ROUTE CONCEPT
800,900
• 900 TO THE LEFT
• TIGHT END (S) MAX PASS BLOCK, FULL BACK BLOCKS PSLB
• TAILBACK BLOCKS WSLB UNLESS INVOLVED IN THE ROUTE OR FAKE
WILL RUN WHEN WE WANT THE TIGHT END(S) TO STAY IN AND BLOCK
MAX PROTECTION
SAME AS 400, 500 FOR LINE
EXAMPLE:
“804”
800 PROTECTION
4 ROUTE CONCEPT WITH NO TIGHT ENDS IN THE ROUTE
Passing Game Concept & Protection
The Passing Game is based on a numbering system. The first number gives the series. The second
and third number describe the route concept or play action series being simulated.
80 90 SERIES – SPRINT GAME…RUN – PASS OPTION FOR QB

100 SERIES – 5 STEP…EVERYONE ON A ROUTE…NO BACK PROTECTION
200 300 SERIES – QUICK 3 STEP GAME…BOTH BACKS BLOCK UNLESS TAGGED
400 500 SERIES – 5 STEP ½ ROLL…BOTH BACKS BLOCK UNLESS TAGGED
600 700 SERIES – SAME AS 400,500 EXCEPT ONE BACK (TAIL BACK) IS IN ROUTE
800 900 SERIES – SAME AS 400, 500 EXCEPT TIGHT END MAX PASS PROTECTS
TAG SYSTEM
SOME ROUTES BREAK THE RULES AND PASSING TREE CONCEPT…CERTAIN COVERAGES
CAN BE PICKED APART BY ROUTE COMBINATIONS. INSTEAD OF CALLING EVERY
RECEIVER’S INDIVIDUAL PASS ROUTE OR BLOCKING SCHEME, WE TAG OR PACKAGE
CERTAIN ROUTES TOGETHER. BY TAGGING ROUTES, WE CAN GAME PLAN WEEK TO
WEEK OUR BASE TAG PLAYS AND ADD ONE OR TWO NEW ONES. TAGGING ROUTES
ELIMINATE TOO MANY WORDS IN A PLAY…LEARN THE NUMBERING SYSTEM, AND
MEMORIZE THE TAG WORD, AND WE ARE READY.
SOME EXAMPLES OF “TAGGED” PLAYS
• SLAM
• SMASH
• BOUNCE
• MESH
• DIG
• DASH
• TEXAS
• SWITCH
• CHOICE
• SLIDE
• GO
• STREAK
• HITCH
• BUBBLE
• JET
• SHALLOW
COACHING IDEAS
GROUPS
EVERY OFFENSE MUST MAXIMIZE ITS STRENGTHS AND MINIMIZE ITS
WEAKNESSES. IT IS IMPORTANT FOR COACHES PLACE THEIR ATHLETES IN A
POSITION TO BE SUCCESSFUL.
MOVING PLAYERS AROUND
SOME COACHES WILL FLEX THEIR TIGHT END OUT IN OPEN SETS AS A RECEIVING
OPTION. OTHERS WILL SUBSTITUTE A SMALLER QUICKER STYLE OF ATHLETE IN
PASSING SITUATIONS. SO IN ONE PLAY, THE Y MIGHT BE A BLOCKING TIGHT END
WHO ONLY RUNS BOOTLEG PASS ROUTES, WHILE ON THE NEXT PLAY – WITH A
COACHING SUBSTITUTION – THE Y WILL BE A SMALL SCAT BACK USED TO CATCH
A SCREEN, RUN A GO ROUTE, OR EXECUTE A REVERSE. A COACH NEEDS TO KNOW
HIS PERSONELL, AND GROUP THEM ACCORDING TO SITUATIONS, FORMATIONS,
MOTIONS, AND INTELLIGENCE.
KNOWING YOUR OFFENSE INSIDE AND OUT, STUDYING FILM, AND EVALUATING
YOUR ATHLETES ON A DAILY BASIS WILL HELP YOU DRAW SOLID CONCLUSIONS
ON WHAT YOUR PLAYERS CAN AND CAN NOT DO. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE AWARE
OF SUBSTITUTION AND/OR FORMATION AND MOTION TENDANCIES WHICH MAY
LET DEFENSES KNOW WHAT PLAY YOU MAY RUN, OR TO WHICH PLAYER YOU
MAY GO TO. WEIGH ALL OF THESE FACTORS TOGETHER AND ASSEMBLE GROUPS
THAT WILL MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF YOUR OFFENSE.
TERMINOLOGY
PLAYER TERMINOLOGY IS CONSISTENT BUT FLEXIBLE
WE LABEL ATHLETES AS A PARTICULAR POSITION AND EXPECT THEM TO KNOW

IT…BUT WE ALSO EXPECT THEM TO GROW IN UNDERSTANDING OF THE OFFENSE
SO THEY CAN PLAY ANY POSITION. WE WANT THEM TO KNOW THE RULES
BEHIND EVERY PLAY. THIS MAKES US A BETTER FOOTBALL TEAM.
• X OUTSIDE LEFT RECEIVER/ 2ND TIGHT END ALSO CALLED H

• Z OUTSIDE RIGHT RECEIVER/ FLANKER/ WING/ SLOT
• F FULLBACK/ INSIDE LEFT RECEIVER/ ALSO CALLED S BACK
• Y TIGHT END/ INSIDE RIGHT RECEIVER
• T TAILBACK
THE PLAYBOOK
BASED ON EXPERIENCE, IT IS BETTER TO HAVE FEWER OFFENSIVE PLAYS AND
EXECUTE THEM WELL, THAN TO RUN EVERYTHING IN THE PLAYBOOK AND BE
INEFFECTIVE.
EVERY GREAT OFFENSE EVOLVES THROUGHOUT A SEASON. IT IS A DAY BY DAY

PROCESS THAT OCCURS ONCE THE “BASE” PLAYS ARE MASTERED.
PASSING RULES
IN OUR OFFENSE, RULES ARE A FOUNDATION. BY UNDERSTANDING CERTAIN
RULES MAKE THE OFFENSE EASIER TO LEARN, RUN, AND COACH.
IN OUR OFFENSE THE FIRST NUMBER TELLS US WHICH SIDE IS THE STRENGTH OF
THE CALL. THIS HELPS THE LINE KNOW WHO IS STRONGSIDE AND WHO IS
BACKSIDE FOR OUR STYLE OF PASS PROTECTION (WHICH GAVE UP VERY FEW
SACKS OR QB PRESSURES). IT ALSO LETS THE TIGHT ENDS AND BACKS KNOW,
WHETHER NO BACK, ONE BACK, OR TWO BACK, IF THEY WILL BE BLOCKING OR
BE OUT ON A ROUTE. THE SECOND NUMBER IS ZERO UNLESS THERE IS A
PLAYACTION FAKE INVOLVED. THE THIRD NUMBER IS THE ROUTE CONCEPT
UNLESS IT IS PART OF THE PLAYACTION SERIES.
• EXAMPLE
403
400 SERIES IS 5 STEP DROP TO THE RIGHT WITH A 3 ROUTE CONCEPT
IN 3 AND 5 STEP DROP, THE SECOND NUMBER WILL ALWAYS BE A ZERO…THERE IS

NO PLAYACTION INVOLVED. HOWEVER, IF WE WANT TO FAKE A PARTICULAR
ACTION IN THE BACKFIELD, WE CAN PLACE ALMOST ANY SERIES INTO THE PLAY
CALL AND STILL CARRY OUT ANY PASS PLAY IN THE BOOK. THEN, WE JUST CALL
THE ROUTE CONCEPT OR TAG TO COMPLETE THE PLAY CALL.
• EXAMPLE
434 3 ROUTE
400 SERIES
FAKE 34 ACTION
3 ROUTE CONCEPT
OTHER RULES
IN THE PLAY CALL…THE LAST NUMBER SPEAKS TO THE OUTSIDE X OR Z

RECEIVER. THE NEXT RECEIVER RUNS A COMPLIMENTARY ROUTE THAT
CORRESPONDS WITH THAT NUMBER. IF WE ARE IN TRIPS, THE #3 RECEIVER
ALMOST ALWAYS RUNS A 9 ROUTE. IN EMPT SET, THE TAILBACK WILL ALMOST
ALWAYS RUN A QUICK ROUTE OVER THE MIDDLE. CERTAIN TAGS BREAK THESE
RULES, BUT LAYING THE FOUNDATION ALLOWS THE OFFENSE TO GROW.
• EXAMPLE
3 ROUTE CONCEPT
#1 RUNS A 3 ROUTE – OUT ROUTE
#2 RUNS A COMPLIMENTARY ROUTE - CORNER
#3 RUNS A 9 ROUTE - GO
WEAKSIDE ROUTES
SHALLOW PACKAGE AND MIRROR PACKAGE
THE OFFENSE HAS EVOLVED INTO WHAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE COMPLEX

NUMBERING SYSTEM…HOWEVER, IT HAS BRANCHED INTO THIS OVER TIME. FOR
SIMPLICITY SAKE IN THE PASSING GAME, YOU MAY WANT TO MIRROR ROUTES
INDEFINITELY OR ALWAYS RUN A BACKSIDE POST.
ROUTES ENDING IN 0,1,2 AND 3 THAT ARE PART OF THE READ GAME PACKAGE
ARE EXPLAINED UNDER THE READ GAME SEGMENT OF THE PLAYBOOK.
ROUTES ENDING IN 3,4,5 WILL HAVE A BACKSIDE PACKAGE CALLED SHALLOW.

THIS PACKAGE HAS WEAK #1 RUNNING A SLOW DRAG TO THE HASH AT A SIX
YARD DEPTH. SHALLOW #2 RUNS A 9 ROUTE DOWN THE HASH WITH THE OPTION
TO STOP IN THE HOLE AT 12 YARDS. THIS CREATES A HIGH LOW OPTION FOR THE
QUARTERBACK SHOULD HE NEED TO CHECK TO THE BACKSIDE.
ROUTES ENDING IN 6,7,8,9 WILL ALL BE MIRRORED…SO THE STRONG SIDE AND
THE WEAK SIDE ROUTE WILL BOTH LOOK THE SAME.
HOWEVER, IN THE 100 SERIES, NO MATTER WHAT THE LAST NUMBER IS…THE
ROUTES ARE MIRRORED. TAGGED ROUTES BREAK ALMOST ALL RULES…IT IS
JUST A MATTER OF MEMORIZING THE TAG.
TAGGING ROUTES
SOMETIMES ROUTES BREAK THE RULES. OR WE WANT CERTAIN PLAYERS OR
POSITONS RUNNING A CERTAIN ROUTE NO MATTER WHAT FORMATION IS
USED…THIS IS WHEN WE TAG A PLAY. BOUNCE, MESH, DIG, TEXAS, TURBO, DASH,
SLAM, HBO, ETC…THESE TAGS ALL REPRESENT VARIOUS ROUTE CONCEPTS THAT
ARE MEMORIZED IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE EXTRA LONG PLAY CALLS. SOME
COACHES GIVE NUMBERS, NAMES OF ANIMALS, STATES, OR ROCK BANDS TO
NAME PLAYS.
FORMATIONS
FOMATIONS CAUSE DEFENSES TO ADJUST. TWO TIGHT ENDS AND ONE BACK
DEMAND THAT A DEFENSE BALANCES ITSELF. IN SPREAD FORMATIONS, YOU CAN
PLACE DEFENDERS INTO PASS COVERAGE SITUATIONS THEY MAY NOT BE USED
TO. TIGHT, COMPACT FORMATIONS REQUIRE SECONDARY PLAYERS TO MAKE
TACKLES TO SAVE TOUCHDOWNS. AS A COACH, USE FORMATIONS TO ATTACK
THE WEAKNSESSES OF A DEFENSE.
SOME COACHES WILL COLOR CODE FORMATIONS TO ELIMINATE TOO MANY

WORDS. OTHERS WILL NAME FORMATIONS AFTER MUSIC GROUPS OR VARIOUS
ANIMALS. IT REALLY DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOU USE, SO LONG AS THERE IS
SOME FORM OF UNIFORMITY THAT WILL HELP PLAYERS TO UNDERSTAND THE
METHOD BEHIND THE CALL.
IN OUR OFFENSE, THE Y WILL ALMOST ALWAYS GO TO THE CALL SIDE

• “I RIGHT” WILL SEND HIM TO THE RIGHT.
• “TRIPS RIGHT” WILL MAKE HIM THE NUMBER 2 RECEIVER
• “TRIPS LEFT” WILL MAKE HIM THE NUMBER 3 RECEIVER
X WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE FORMATION
Z WILL ALMOST ALWAYS BE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FORMATION
TWINS, FLIP, AND SLOT CALLS BEND THE RULES.
SOME OFFENSES, FOR SIMPLICITY, HAVE AN OFFENSIVE LINE THAT FLIPS…A

STRONG SIDE AND A QUICK SIDE OF THE LINE WHO LEARN ONLY CERTAIN PLAYS.
SOME OFFENSES HAVE A Z RECEIVER WHO ALWAYS GOES TO THE STRONG SIDE,
AND THE X WHO ALWAYS GOES TO THE BACKSIDE. THERE IS NO RIGHT OR
WRONG WAY TO SET THIS UP, SO LONG AS YOU, YOUR STAFF, AND YOUR
PLAYERS CAN LEARN IT AND EXECUTE THE OFFENSE EFFECTIVELY.
FLEXIBILITY
THE OFFENSE IS FLEXIBLE. THE NUBERING SYSTEM, TAGS, TERMINOLOGY,
CONCEPTS, ARE THE FOUNDATION. WEEK BY WEEK A PLAY MAY HAVE TO ADAPT
IN ORDER TO ATTACK A CERTAIN DEFENSE…SO BE PREPARED TO ADJUST.
SERIES RULES ADJUSTMENTS

FOR THE MAJORITY OF PLAYBOOKS, THE NUMBERING SYSTEM FOR THE RUNNING
GAME IS EXPLAINED AS FOLLOWS. FIRST NUMBER INDICATES THE SERIES, THE
SECOND NUMBERS TELLS WHICH HOLE THE PLAY GOES TO, AND THE TAG LETS
EVERYONE KNOW THE BLOCKING SCHEME.
CHANGES
THE BACKS ARE GIVEN A NUMBER. IN THE WISHBONE OFFENSE, GOAL LINE
OFFENSE, PIRATE OFFENSE, WING T OFFENSE, STACK OFFENSE, STRAIGHT T
OFFENSE, WEST COAST, AND Y STACK OFFENSE CONTAIN THE FOLLOWING
ADJUSTMENTS.
• 1 BACK QUARTERBACK
• 2 BACK FLANKER WING
• 3 BACK FULLBACK
• 4 BACK TAIL BACK
• 5 BACK OPEN
EXAMPLE:
44 DIVE IS A DIVE BY THE 4 BACK TO THE 4 HOLE
36 SLANT IS A OFF TACKLE PLAY BY THE 3 BACK TO THE 6 HOLE
25 TRAP IS A INSIDE TRAP PLAY BY THE 2 BACK TO THE 5 HOLE
ADJUSTMENTS
IN GAME ADJUSTMENTS ON A PLAY BY PLAY BASIS ARE VERY IMPORTANT. FIND
A WEAKNESS AND EXPLOIT IT. THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT FOR AN OFFENSE
IN MY OPINION IS HALF TIME. IT IS AT THE MID POINT WHERE THE COACHES PUT
THEIR OBSERVATIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND IDEAS TOGETHER. REGROUP,
MAKE CORRECTIONS, AND FORM A SECOND HALF GAME PLAN WITHIN 3 TO 5
MINUTES BEFORE GOING BEFORE THE OFFENSE. BE PREPARED TO CREATE ONE
OR TWO SPECIAL PLAYS ON THE SPOT…SOME COACHES DON’T BELIEVE IN THIS,
BUT I’VE SEEN THIS WIN MANY GAMES. IF THE PLAYERS KNOW THE RULES OF
THE SYSTEM, THEN ADDING A WRINKLE WILL NOT THROW THEM OFF…SO LONG
AS YOU ARE NOT TRYING THE SUPER DUPER TRIPLE REVERSE PASS OPTION!
COACH WHAT YOU KNOW

IF YOU KNOW THE RUSHING GAME. THEN DON’T TRY TO COACH THE RUN AND
SHOOT OFFENSE. IF YOU KNOW THE PASSING GAME, THEN DON’T TRY TO RUN
THE WING T. SUCCESSFUL COACHES HAVE RUN ALL TYPES OF OFFENSES. EVERY
OFFENSE HAS WON A CHAMPIONSHIP SOMEWHERE AT SOMETIME. THE WING T,
THE SPREAD, THE VEER, THE WEST COAST, AND ON AND ON…THESE DIFFERENT
OFFENSES HAVE ALL HELD THE TROPHY. IS IT THE OFFENSE YOU RUN, OR YOUR
ABILITY TO MASTER WHAT YOU KNOW? BE A STUDENT OF THE GAME AND
STRETCH YOURSELF. LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN SO THAT YOU WILL BE
VERSATILE. BUT DON’T ADD SOMETHING UNTIL YOU KNOW IT, AND KNOW IT
WELL.
BELIEVE
YOURSELF
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. YOU CAN’T ASK YOUR PLAYERS TO DO SOMETHING YOU
DON’T DO. AT THE SAME, TIME, DO NOT BE COCKY OR ARROGENT TO THE POINT
WHERE YOU ARE DISLIKED AND AVOIDED BY YOUR PLAYERS AND FELLOW STAFF
MEMBERS.
YOUR STAFF
BELIEVE IN YOUR STAFF. EVEN IF THEY LACK KNOWLEDGE, BUILD THEM UP,
ENCOURAGE THEM, AND LET THEM KNOW YOU VALUE THEM…THEY WILL BEND
OVER BACKWARDS AND EXCELL UNDER THIS KIND OF ENVIRONMENT
THE PLAYERS
BELIEVE IN THE PLAYERS.
THEY TRAIN.
THEY LIFT WEIGHTS.
THEY RUN SPRINTS.
THEY SACRIFICE.
THEY FIGHT.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT IS FUN.
BECAUSE OF THE FRIENDSHIP.
BECAUSE OF THE TEAM.
BECAUSE OF THE GLORY.
BECAUSE OF A DREAM.
BELIEVE THAT THEY CAN DO IT.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
THE DREAM…
IT IS BIGGER THAN YOU OR ME…THE DREAM OF BEING A CHAMPION. THAT’S OUR
DREAM TOO, ISN’T IT?
LET US PRESS FORWARD, DO THE BEST WE CAN DO, BE CHAMPIONS ON THE

GRIDIRON, CHAMPIONS IN OUR RELATIONSHIPS, AND CHAMPIONS IN LIFE.
FORMATION SHIFTING
TRADE
MOVE OUR TIGHT END FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER BEFORE THE PLAY
NOT MOTION…IT IS A SHIFT
• EXAMPLE: “TRADE TO I RIGHT”
START IN I LEFT, Y RISES UP JOGS ACROSS FORMATION AND SETS UP IN I RIGHT
THIS WORKS WELL FOR DEFENSIVE LINES THAT HAVE A STRONG AND QUICK SIDE
THAT FLIP TO STRENGTH…MAKE SURE X AND Y ARE ON OR OFF THE LINE, DEPENDING
ON WHERE Y SETTLES!
SHIFT
START IN VIRTUALLY ANY BASE OR CRAZY FORMATION YOU WANT (OR THEY WANT)
AND END UP IN THE CALLED FORMATION.
• EXAMPLE: “SHIFT TO TRIPS LEFT”
ALL BACKS AND TIGHT ENDS CAN LINE UP STACKED, WISHBONE, EMPTY…SO
LONG AS THEY LINE UP IN THE CALLED FORMATION WHEN THE QUARTERBACK
YELLS “SHIFT!”
FLIP
FLIP MOVES THE X OR Z TO THE SAME SIDE AS THE TIGHT END. THIS UNBALANCED
FORMATION MAKES THE TIGHT END INELIGIBLE AS A RECEIVER.
• EXAMPLE: “I RIGHT FLIP”
THE X MOVES OVER INTO TWINS ON Z SIDE
OVER
MOVES THE TACKLE OVER TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FORMATION
• EXAMPLE:”I RIGHT OVER”
TIGHT END GOES TO I RIGHT NEXT TO RIGHT GUARD…RIGHT TACKLE MOVES
“OVER” TO THE LEFT
IN BALANCED FORMATIONS…ALWAYS GAME PLAN WHERE THE TACKLE WILL SHIFT
TO…WIDE OR SHORT SIDE OF FIELD.
SUPER
SUPER IS A HEAVY FORMATION
THE WEAK GUARD AND WEAK TACKLE WILL SUPER SHIFT TO THE STRENGTH CALL.
• EXAMPLE: “SUPER I RIGHT”
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT THE FORMATION WOULD APPEAR AS FOLLOWS: X TO
CENTER TO GUARD, GUARD, TACKLE, TACKLE, TIGHT END AND SPLIT Z
FREEDOM
LIBERTY IN AN OFFENSE
WE GIVE THE ATHLETES FREEDOM WITHIN THE SYSTEM. RECEIVERS

WITH EXPERIENCE WILL ROTATE AROUND WITHIN A
FORMATION…SOMETIMES THEY DO THIS TO GET THEMSELVES INVOLVED
IN THE PLAY BY CRACK BLOCKING, STALK BLOCKING, OR BEING THE
PRIMARY TARGET ON A PLAY OR SCREEN. ONE TIME OUR S BACK MIGHT
BE RECEIVER NUMBER 3 IN TRIPS AND THE NEXT PLAY RECEIVER
NUMBER 2 IN TRIPS…OUR PHILOSOPHY IS THAT AS LONG AS THE ROUTES
ARE RUN AND ASSIGNMENTS CARRIED OUT WE DON’T MIND IF THEY
MOVE WITHIN THE OFFENSIVE ALIGNMENTS. WITH THIS BEING STATED,
THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE A UNIT, AND IT IS BETTER FOR
CATCHES TO BE DISTRIBUTED BETWEEN THEM ALL RATHER THAN PASSES
BE THROWN TO ONE OR TWO RECEIVERS.
WE STRESS THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT BEING PREDICTABLE BY

ALIGNMENT AND FORMATION. THERE ARE CERTAIN ROUTES THAT NEED
TO BE RUN BY SPEED…THERE ARE CERTAIN ROUTES THAT NEED TO BE
RUN BY SIZE…AND THEN THERE ARE MOMENTS IN A GAME, WHEN IT IS
CRUNCH TIME, A CERTAIN ROUTE NEEDS TO BE RUN BY OUR
PLAYMAKERS. SOMETIMES AS COACHES, WE WILL REQUEST EITHER
PERSONELL CHANGE, AND SOMETIMES THE PLAYERS JUST KNOW…THE
LIGHTS ARE ON AND IT IS TIME TO SHINE. THEY HAVE BEEN
COACHED…IT IS TIME TO TRUST THEM.
FREEDOM IN TERMINOLOGY
THE PLAYBOOK HANDBOOK IS A GUIDE. IT IS IMPORTANT, TO ELIMINATE

AS MUCH TERMINOLOGY AS POSSIBLE ON PLAY CALLING. THIS IS WHY
SHORT FORMATION CALLS AND PLAY TAGGING ARE IMPORTANT. SOME
PLAYS WILL HAVE THE F, S, Y, X, OR Z INTERCHANGING WITH ONE
ANOTHER ON CERTAIN PLAYS. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN A FORMATION
CALL MAYBE SHORTENED. FOR EXAMPLE, DOUBLES GUN WILL BE
CALLED DOUBLES. WE HAVE ALREADY GAME PLANNED THAT WE WILL
BE IN THE GUN UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE. SOME OFFENSES ALWAYS USE
TWO TIGHT ENDS, THEREFORE THE FORMATION LABEL “TIGHT” WOULD
NOT BE NECESSARY. ALLOW FOR FREEDOM IN YOUR “RULES”.
