9/30

50 HEAD IT IS THE MOST COMMON LOOK BY PEOPLE WHO RUN THE

3-3-5 STACK

WE CAN PLAY A LOT OF GAMES OUT OF 50 HEAD BECAUSE

OF THE ALIGNMENTS THE STACKED LOOK OF OUR LBS ALLOWS US TO

EXCHANGE GAP RESPONSIBILITES WITH THE DL

WE CAN PINCH OUR LINE INTO THE B-GAPS AND ALLOWOUR LBS TO TAKE THE C-GAPS

WE CAN BLITZ OUR LBS TO MORE GAPS BECAUSE OF THEALIGNMENTS

12/30

STEMMING FRONTS WE CAN STEM FROM ONE FRONT TO ANOTHER VERY EASILY

THIS CAN GREATLY EFFECT AN OFFENSIVE LINES BLOCKING RULES

AND CALLS

WE HAVE USED IT A LOT AGAINST PASSING TEAMS IN ORDER TOSET UP OUR BLITZES YOU WILL SEE THIS IN THE CUT UPS

EXAMPLE M 55 HEAD

IN THIS EXAMPLE, WE WOULD SHOW OUR 50 M FRONT AND ON THEFIRST SOUND, WE WOULD SHIFT INTO A 50 HEAD FRONT

IF WE GET CAUGHT IN A SHIFT, WE TELL OUR PLAYERS TO PLAY

FOOTBALL AND TO GET TO THE GAP THEY ARE ASSIGNED TO


13/30

DL CALLS WE USE VARIOUS CALLS THAT ALLOW US TO CHANGE THE

WAY OUR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN PLAY THEIRRESPONSIBILITIES

A LOT OF THE CALLS WE LIKE TO USE ARE IN OUR 50HEAD FRONT

THIS GIVES US THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE BLOCKINGFOR THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN WITHOUT ACTUALLYCHANGING THE FRONT WE ARE IN

EXIT REDUCE LB AND STUNT WITH END

TEX REDUCE LB AND STUNT WITH TACKLE


14/30

DL CALLS - Pinch PINCH IS USUALLY USED IN SHORT YARDAGE

SITUATIONS, OR WHEN WE SEND A BLITZ THROUGH THEC-GAP

THE CALL SENDS ALL OF THE DL INTO THEIR INSIDE

GAP THE AIMING POINT FOR THE DL IS THE OUTSIDE HIP

OF THE OFFENSIVE LINEMAN INSIDE OF THEM

THEY MUST KEEP THEIR SHOULDERS SQUARE!!

BULL


15/30

DL CALLS - Bull BULL IS USALLY USED WHEN WE WANT THE

OFFENSIVE LINEMAN TO STAY ENGAGED WITH THE

DL. THIS ALLOWS OUR LBs TO SCRAPE FREE

THIS CALL TELLS THE DL TO BULL RUSH THEOFFENSIVE LINEMAN OVER THEM AND THEN RIP

TO THE BALL


16/30

DL CALLS

WE WILL ALSO CALL SLANT OR ANGLE WHICH WILL

TELL OUR LINEMAN TO MOVE A GAP OVER IN THEIR

RESPONSIBILITY SLANT TELLS OUR LINEMAN TO OCCUPY THE GAP TO

THE STRONG SIDE

ANGLE TELLS OUR LINEMAN TO OCCUPY THE GAP TOTHE WEAK SIDE


17/30

LB ALIGNMENTS

WE CAN REDUCE OUR LINEBACKERS ON THE LOS

WITH VARIOUS CALLS

THIS ALLOWS US TO BE IN OUR BASE 50 LOOK, BUTTO THE OFFENSE IT LOOKS LIKE A 5-3, 4-4, ETC

THE CALLS STAY UNIVERSAL THROUGHOUT OUR

DEFENSE

ALLOWS US TO CALL MULTIPLE FRONTS, BUT THE

KIDS HAVE LESS TO LEARN
