FLY OFFENSE GREEN LIGHT

X X X X X X X XX X X

- Usually crack.- Blocking back has to start sideways. Need 3 steps sideways on GREEN, 1 on RED.- Want 2 blockers on # 2.- They like shorter edge ( GT better than GTTE ) Don’t like TE edge. Run YELLOW. Run to slot/SE.- Out of trips widest rec. always has Safety.


x x x x x x x x x x x

- GUARD blocking scheme only used on 3 man side ( side with TE ).1 is CORNER2 OLB or man coming thru that spot.They call SAFETY 4. They don’t crack on tackle.

BELLY GUARD


2 X X X X

X X 1 X 4 X

- If DE playing wide, run STOP and kick him out with Tackle staying on him. It’s like ISO to sweeper. + They don’t force sweep, rather go to STOP. + Rarely they make “LOAD” call and crack. Tackle goes to ILB. + Start by telling PT reach. + They WANT to doubleteam # 2. 70 % of time 221. X comes off if 2 gets off underneath and X looks for most dangerous ( usually 3 or 4 ). If # 2 gets off outside, X stays with him and Slot looks for most dangerous. First 2 weeks don’t tell anyone to come off. + GOAL for tackle is stop DT’s feet. + Don’t pull guards because when they don’t pull they limit flow ( no run throughs) and back can cut back. ( Make a hole first, limit flow 2nd ).

+ GOAL for tackle is stop DT’s feet.- If DE on air, Run GUARD + They’ll call SWEEP GUARD or SWEEP GUARD FOLLOW. + SWEEP GUARD is GRREN LIGHT SWEEP with GUARD blocking when DE is crashing. ++ Very good 1 back play.

X X X X

2 X X 1 X 4 X

- Can run FLY against 5-3 defense with either 3 blockers ( 231 ) or 21 with GUARD blocking ( above ) . + Coaches have to watch OLB. If he runs, run inside him. If he sits, give ball.

46 YELLOW GUARD- With standard YELLOW blocking ( TRACK ) , HB runs STRIKE path and stays on backside.Can run with PT blocking down ( GUARD scheme ) and TE reaching. No change for FB/TE YELLOWIS YELLOW. With GUARD Call HB runs BELLY path with GUARD call when you want DE to close.- With one back QB runs fake with GUARD call.- PSG tracks around 2 tech.BELLY GUARD FOLLOW - QB carries ball behind. FB and Sweeper fake SWEEP.

- If DE is spilling Long trap, GUARD ( Long Trap ) scheme can be run with YELLOW. DE will spill and beout of play. BG logs DE. If DE comes head on, Guard blows his up. If he plays out, stay engaged with him. FB and TE run usual YELLOW sweep scheme.

X X X X X X X

X X X X

BELLY GUARD FOLLOW

- They like YELLOW vs. 50. Tackle tracks up. Guard cuts DT if he pinches. =- Like on goalline.

- KIS OF DEATH on YELLOW Sweep is 2 guys blocking one.

X X X X X X X

- Don’t like YELLOW when the PT and TE have to both reach block. like above.- RED with crossblock better or get TE away and only have 6 tech.

They like GUARD blocking scheme to 7 and 9.

YELLOW LIGHT cont.


- Watch 7 tech ( DE ). + YELLOW only run to 7 and 9 with GUARD blocking scheme. + FB has 1st dangerous defender. In STOP FB has ILB period. + FB has playside ILB. For SWEEPER, TE, and FB same YELLOW SWEEP as always. + Run sweep first and see 7 tech’s reaction. ++ With GUARD scheme you can run QB FOLLOW


- Good from 1 back.


- Could be 21, or 221 ( offset ) or 142.- If HELP call used, 2nd man on 221 has to know he’s alone. But SAFETY unblocked so run only withdeep Safety. Don’t let DE dictate what you are calling.- Run RED LIGHT vs. above if DE loose. Don’t need TE for RED LIGHT.- In RED LIGHT X always has # 1 . Backside back shouldn’t fake playside ( GO ). Fake backside (STRIKE) or SPEEDY away.

142

RED LIGHT- Used with EAT, OUT OUT, WALL, GAS blocking. + OUT OUT esp. against 7 and 9. + GAS good on goalline. ++ Esp. good against moving defenses. ++ Blocking back has to look for ILB as he takes first flat step. ++ Can be run to GT side only. With OUT call.

- RED LIGHT ‘EAT” blocking is crossblock between T and TE with sweeper carring ball. + Good vs. all fronts.

X X X X

- With EAT blocking, TACKLE calls CRASH ( Crossblock ) or BASE ( Man on blocking ). If Tacklesees defender headon or if he thinks the DT is pinching or slanting away, Tackle calls BASE. If DT playingoutside shoulder or head on and coming straight ahead, tackle calls “CRASH”.- FB blocks first man he finds in hole. FB always goes C gap. + Guard looks for LBer run through first before going backside combo. If LBer walks up, guard has LBer all the way.- Vs. a heavy reader OUT OUT call can be used. If EAT not working, try OUT. Probably hard reading DEsqueezing TE. OUT OUT should work. ( Reach influence ) OLINEMAN’s hand goes to inside shouldernot outside.

X X X X

- PT and TE reach step and club Defender and block the out as defenders fight out.- If you have WING vs. 50., wing goes to SAFETY. FB small flat step. WING has SAFETY on YELLOWand CORNER on RED- PG vs. ODD has ILB blitz ahead. If ILB scraping to hole, FB has him. PG steps with hand to NOSE incase NOSE flies ( Feel block- If he feels NOSE still don’t stop feet.) , then goes to Backside ILB. + If ILB far back and no threat Guard can pay more attention to backside.- C should be able to reach.- FOOD call is EAT blocking with GREEN LIGHT blocking. Adjustment when RED LIGHT is gettingstuffed.

FB kickout

- Better against Edge 3 ( below TE/REC. or TE/WING edge ) + TE/WR best

FLY OFFENSE ISO



- For Willamette ISO is BELLY ( strong side ) and ICE ( quick side ). + They would rather run GO vs. Slanting team than ISO.- ISO can be run with standard blocking above so no blocking call is made.- Blocking back reads DLineman closest to hole. Man over Guard and then man over tackle to find route tolber. Whichever side the dl takes, the blocking back takes the other side. + Lead back never blocks RUNNER. RUNNER chasing motion. + STANDARD + GUARD blocking can be used. + SPECK ( man ) blocking can be used.

X X X X

X X X XX X X

- If Center can handle nose man alone, fan blocking can be used. Guard and Tackle block out.- QB should always fake KEEP away from ISO.

x x x x x x X X

x x x

- GUARD blocking scheme only used on 3 man side ( side with TE ).- ISO path can be ISO GO, ISO LONG TRAP, -

BELLY MAN - Tells FB to fake a sweep and line to block MAN or GOB.- ILB in 4-4 usually reading FB and will run.- Run if ILB running out with sweep. Pull guard opposite on FLY early to find out.- Back reads 3 tech.-

BELLY GUARD


x x x x X x x x x x x

- If DE running upfield, they can make WALL call ( kickout )

FLY OFFENSE ISO



ISO KEEP- Run FB first and get see if OLB making tackle. Thencall follow. QB always fakes behind ISO KEEP.

X X X X

X X X XX X X

ISO GOB

- ‘FEEL’ technique - BT inside step releases, if he feels Defender on release, stay with him.- HB follow FB.- Also can GOB block it.- If they run it away from motion, they run JO or run QB with lead ( CLINTON ).

X X X X X X X X XX X X

ISO FAN


- Can be run with HB influence.

- ISO SPECK would have FB fake sweep with man blocking. They run that when ILB is running out with SWEEPER.

FLY OFFENSE GO


- For Willamette GO is a split flow short trap scheme ( vs even ) and man scheme vs. odd.- Trap is always run to 3 technique. Center calls side to be trapped. REX or LEE. Center also calls REX/LEE on other plays. Back runs same path over center regardless of which DT being trapped. Vs. odd backreads Nose and cuts off him. VS. REDUCED 50 still trap 3. Back path same.- If there are two ‘2” techniques, the Center calls the blocking to the motion side.- NO CROSSOVER STEP ON GO !! Can also fold backside vs. slant/pinch.- Wedge on short yardage also or coming out.- GO good vs. good mobile NOSE ok not vs. good NOSE who 2 gaps.

X X X X X X XX X X

- GO GOB is a fold blocking scheme used with GO against an EVEN front.

- Their QUICK would be our GAG. It’s run from M set with FB behind QB. Formation is 1 back set orSTRONG or WEAK back set.

GO

X X X X X X X

GO GOB

X X X X X X

- Against a NOSE moving with motion ( or standup NOSE moving to motion) run GO and backreads NOSE. GO will be base blocking vs. ODD.- PG responsible for backside Lber. Playside ILB should be running to sweep. PG starts verticaland checks ILB. If PILB walks up, he takes him.


- Can run QB GO out of 1 back set.

FLY OFFENSE STRIKE

X X X X

X X X XX X X

X X X X X

X XX X X

- Long trap scheme.- Good scheme vs back readers.- Back goes crossover plant. Vs. 4 -4 they use JO. They don’t run this play to strong side. TE has OLB vs 4-4.


FLY OFFENSE VEER


- No mesh by QB & Sweeper- They have run veer path with motion to offset FB. Ball snapped early and sweeper became pitch man. They like the play better against teams that don’t rotate but back up.

X X X X X

X XX X X

- Looking for 1 tech. side. + blocked 12 on flank. First time give to sweeper. Box watches DE. QB reverses an disn’t reading. FBwatches and calls “ME ME ME ME” if DE wide. QB then gives ball. If DE tight, FB doesn’t say anythingans QB gives ball to sweeper. They ran Veer to 1 and Midline to 3.

X X X X X X XX X X

FLY OFFENSE TRAP/ COUNTER

- LONG TRAP SCHEME featuring split flow.- TRAP is weakside blocking scheme. COUNTER TRAP ( SG longtrapping ) Also could be COUNTER FOLD + COUNTER FOLD good vs. SLANTING /PINCHING 50 and even 3 tech. .- Counter and Strike same scheme for Willamette with different blocking. ( COUNTER is weak side longtrap carried by FB, STRIKE is long trap carried by HB.- COUNTER path for backs is open step and then go.


COUNTER TRAP COUNTER GAT

X X X X

X X X XX X X

FLY OFFENSE COUNTER/STRIKE/ SCISSORS

- LONG TRAP SCHEME featuring split flow. Away from motion.- Counter and Strike same scheme for Willamette with different blocking. ( COUNTER is weak side longtrap carried by FB, STRIKE is long trap carried by HB- STRIKE steps for back have to be flat so it looks like he’s running ISO.


COUNTER STRIKE


x x x x x x x x x X x

SPINNER

- Reach blocks, Traps harder because of reading.- One back or empty set usually. QB turns and goes opposite of NOSE.- Don’t run with 2 in hole.


GREEN BAY( DICKEM )- Like SPEEDY but no QB read.

- Playside reach.- SE + HB 21.- Good vs. 1 in the hole.


SPINNER

- A gap play.-


TAG

- Don’t pull TACKLE on TAG

FLY OFFENSE SCISSORS

SCISSORS GUARD- HB always goes first. FB always goes 2nd.

X X X X X X X X X X X

X X X X X

X X X X X X

X X X X X X X X X X X

- Blocking alternative = PT show pass.

- Vs. a pinching/slanting DT: PT should wash down DT and BG turn up in hole when no one to trap. + PT rule: Gap Down Lber + BG rule : Pull and kick or wall. +

FLY OFFENSE MIDLINE

- Vs. odd if QB run called, FB bends around and blocks PLB.



- Can be run with HB faking FLY.QB doesn’t fake sweep. Most notreading QB.

- QB just keeps ball vs. NOSE.- Still read vs. 1 tech. 90 % chance of pull but DT may loop out.- Always give vs. 5 tech.

FLY OFFENSE QUICK

- QUICK is run to back behing QB. (M set) .- Still trapping 3 tech. Same rules as GO. GO GUARD QG traps. QUICK TRAP SG traps. + 2 3’s trap to motion. Center calls with motion. + Run with KING or QUEEN set. Needs 2 back formation so other back fakes sweep. ( Can be SPLAT JO KING ). 3 - 7 times per game on avg.


WILLAMETTE FLY- They have STRONG and QUICK side. TE goes strongside unless formation has ‘JO” added to it.- They would rather run GO vs. slanting team than ISO.- CLINTON is an outside QB KEEPand FOLLOW is an inside QB KEEP.- BELLY is a path. It tells HB to run a BELLY path. Coule be used with several kinds of blocking ( stan-dard, Guard etc. )- GO and QUICK are equivalent except QUICK is usually run from M position behind QB.- GO/QUICK are short trap schemes. However, GO is man blocking vs. ODD.- If a team has “1 in the box” against their 1 back formation, they will run without motion. Example STAR Formation vs 1 in the box they run ISO weak- Veer path 6 yards.- Most options not really read.- STRIKE is a LONG TRAP scheme to the weak side.- Against a 50 with Nose moving a lot, run GO.- For Willamette, GUARD is weak guard pulling and TRAP is strong guard pulling.They don’t run BELLYGUARD vs. a 3 ( left ) because G&T have to be good. They’d rather run GO at 3 tech. (right) probably GO GOB

X X X X

X X X XX X X

3 kinds of FLOW + FULL flow - ISO, SPEEDY both backs going same way. + SPLIT flow - GREEN, ISO MAN, ISO GUARD, ISO GOB,GO, STRIKE, MIDLINE + CROSS flow - SCISSORS, COUNTER

- On SCISSORS 1st man always gets ball. COUNTER 2nd man gets ball?

- Have guards pull away on FLY sometimes to read LBers.- Vs. 4-4 don’t run backside because 2 are in the hole. 4-4 has trouble playing ISO, attack to TE. + Against motion, can run DICKEM - QB chest passes. Or can run like SPEEDY and LOAD block tokeep ball in QB’s hands.

X X X X

X X X XX X X


- They usually take don’t take the motion component out of play ( ie they don’t run double lead Midline orusing sweeper to kick out DE ).

WILLAMETTE FLY- BELLY & FLY Same play to either side.- GUARD ( long ) & TRAP ( short ) same thing.- GOB & SOB - C & G fold- FOLD ( QT and QG fold ) & GAT ( SG & ST fold )- EAT ( T & TE cross )- MAN

- They call DOWN blocking ( Down, Down Kickout ) GAS blocking.- All sweps split flow. You want to see what playside ILB does on sweep. KEYS: + Who inside does fake hold? + Who takes off and runs with sweep. + If schemes require too much discussion among coaches, forget them. Players won’t get.

ISO not good vs. 50 PINCH.- FAN block ISO vs pinch if you handle NOSE.- Don’t like WR blocking Corner on FLYS. Only makes sense vs. Bump man. + They have WR just run off Corner if he has 1. + Makes sense if C crashing. + They make sweep call sometimes if C coming. + Fly good goalline play.

- If DE playing wide, run STOP and kick him out with Tackle staying on him. It’s like ISO to sweeper. + They don’t force sweep, rather go to STOP.- If DE on air, Run GUARD + They’ll call SWEEP GUARD or SWEEP GUARD FOLLOW. + SWEEP GUARD is GRREN LIGHT SWEEP with GUARD blocking when DE is crashing. ++ Very good 1 back play. ++ They really like GUAD blocking scheme.OFFENSE should be 1/3 sweep, 1/3 inside run, 1/3 pass.- 70 % OF GREEN SWEEPS 221- If # 3 outside tackle don’t run sweep.

- Vs. pinching odd teams they increase Tackle’s split.- They like YELLOW vs. 50. They like YELLOW on goalline.- THEY WANT 2 GUYS on # 2- COUNTER path for backs is open step and then go.- TELL QBS - “GIVE LONG ( extend arms more) FAKE SHORT ( keep arms tight ).- When you are having Guards tracking, if they come off and say they can’t get playside LBer, that LB isfliying out so run something like GO at him.- Minus Nose must be handled by PG and Center.On RED LIGHT when DT and DE are outside leverage, take advantage of that and run OUT OUT block-ing. Then you have to get teh 3 tech to stop his feet.- If FB has to stop and turn back, FB is wrong.- When dbs locked up, nasty split crack on inside plays good because it’s two for one block.- Could always hand WHITE when 2 backers step up like BULLETS.

- On JO call X flips along with TE.- Put better T on STR side.- When Guard is going to block DE, + If DE spills, Guard logs him. + If DE faces him, he attacks DE with correct shoulder ( pull right-hit right ) + If DE runs upfield, he kicks DE out.- Call KEEP ( QB ) when DE spilling.- GREEN BAY is DICKEM play, looks like Speedy except no QB read.NEVER FAKE SOMETHING YOU AREN’T GOING TO DO.- FOOD call is EAT blocking with GREEN LIGHT blocking.STAR 48 FLY FOOD.

- FROM DAY 1 Backs have to know 1 and 3 tech. Makes difference on GO, BELLY, QUICK, and 90. + Sometimes call WEDGE on short yardage.

PAIRED PLAYSBELLY/ICEGO/QUICK

COUNTER/STRIKE- Blocked same different ballcarrier. Both cross action. To quick side away frommotion.COUNTER/SCISSORS - Counter long trap to quick side. Scissors is GUARD blocking scheme to strong side.- DON’T THINK oF TE as strong side.- SCISSORS is a long trap to strong side with motion. So is BELLY GUARD. can be folded also.- Can run RED and YELLOW with endover.- QB handoff on STRIKE is one handed.- 90 VIRGINIA PATTERN + Receiver reads DB by 5th step. If he can go deep, just keeps running. Puts up hand if he is going tobreak it off as out. ++ QB watching for hand. - In redzone if CB axing ink on WR, run him off.

- As team comes to LOS, coach in box looking for how they line up to edge and how motion affects them. Then after snap: + Who is force? + Is fake holding anyone? + Is anyone tackling fake? ++ Receiver coach looking for open middle. ++ Someone watching point of attack. # 2 vs. 221 example. ++ Someone watch ST to see if DE reacting to down blocks. ( Line coach )HAVE CHECKLIST PLAY 3 - Did ILB follow guard? YES ____ NO ______Counter trap white.CLINIC is first weekend of MAY. Starts Friday ends mid day Sat.


HOLE - The HOLE is the box area away from motion from the Guard to just outside the TE or where the TE would be shallower than DB depth 6 yards. - Run that area vs. 1 in the hole. - Avoid that area with 2 in the hole, or put TE on that side also. - IMPORTANT TO KNOW is there 2 in the hole BEFORE or AFTER motion.

MOTION ADJUSTMENT DESCRIPTION- First box description should be number of men in box and how they react to motion. “ Runner and 2 in the box”

“Two in the hole” DE counts.One in the hole before motion

QUESTIONS1. They said SPECK ( man ) blocking can be used with BELLY (ISO). If that is a sabse blocking scheme,who does back block when Olineman is blocking LBER? - They also said they coukld use GUARD blocking. Again, who does back block? YES HE LEADS ON SWEEP2. On Go does TB run directly over Center? PATH IS OVER THE CENTER FROM THE SPLITBACK SET, OBVIOUSLY HAS TO AVOIDTHE QB, WILL TAKE THE BALL FROM THE QB SLIGHTLY TO THE QUICK SIDE BESIDE THEQB.3. When you are running REDLIGHT EAT against a 50, does the playside guard try to cutoff the Lber infront of him or combo with the center on the Nose & backside lber?G HAS RUN THRU BLITZ. IF HB OVER HIM IS “THERE HE WILL TAKE HIM, IF LBER ISRUNNING TO SWEEP HE WILL HAVE BACKSIDE GUY, IF LBER IS IN B GAP (BLITZ) WEEXPECT GUARD TO CUT HIM OFF.4. When you run REDLIGHT with FAN blocking, is it the Guard and Tackle who are blocking out ( againsta 50 I presume? If so is the FB leading through inside the guard on the Lber and does the sweeper turn upin the A gap. I don’t think I have this right because I don’t see how the FB beats the sweeper through thehole.IT IS THE T AND TE BLOCKING OUT OR JUST THE T IF OPEN SET. RULES ARE THE SAMEFOR THE G IN THE OUT OUT AND EAT. THE SWEEP GOES INSIDE THE T NOT THE G.

- Is tackle ever part of numbering sysytem on Green.

5. When you run STRIKE FOLLOW I wrote down MAN blocking. Is that right or would the line still useSTRIKE blocking and the HB would lead for the QB?6. What does HB do on backside of RED LIGHT OUT OUT?7. Does QB automatically keep ball on midline versus a NOSE?8. On YELLOW sweep vs. a 50. You said PG cuts DT if he pinches. Is guard on track checking DT first?9. When do you make WALL call on BELLY and how often do they use it?10. If you ran BELLY GOB what would the playside G & T be doing? Would the playside back still beleading?11. What is trap?12. If you run BELLY GUARD FOLLOW with QB following TB as lead blocker, how does TB knowwhether to go inside or outside Guard’s block on playside DE?13. If COrner is playing deep and OLB is outside SE, is OLB 1?14. Is a standard 50 with an ILB on the Guard, DT on the tackle and DE on air vs. a quick side ( NO TE ) “2 in the hole”?15. What is “TEDFORD STUFF” passing game Coach Specman mentioned? 16. What kind of patterns do you throw with the TAC call?17. On the video you mentioned Belly Man and Belly Spec. What bis the difference?

GUARD- GUARD is a long trap scheme. Always Long trap ( GO is short ). Only to TE side.- Used with Green ( get DE to spill and not pursue ) Yellow, Belly, Scissors, Follow,


X X X X

- If GUARD blocking is called and DT pinches, PT will take him down and trapping guard will turn up inhole and look for Lber. If DE also pinches, TE will take him down and Guard will turn up outside.QB HANDS AND ROLLS not veer path. Also can run ISO with FB. SPREAD opens defense up.


- GUARD schemeGREEN FOLLOW GUARD- QB generally fakes KEEP or fakes TAC pass. + Tie line fake with QB fake. Tie backside of line fake with QB. ++ They use line calls for pass as part of cadence ( LION (left ) RAM ( Right) MOOSE ( Man ). +++ Only mean something if play is pass. - If QB make call where BT is reaching ( LION on STAR formation ) QB fakes Keep. - If RAM called, SPINNER fake. - MOOSE was TAC fake. ++ Backside Lber and Safety may pass drop. + Only applies to SWEEP. QB bootlegs and Tackle fakes

PASS PROTECTION- One set of rules for 3 step and 5 step.- Backs usually protect play side.- Have QB looking into blitz if you are blocking 3 on possible 4 man side.

- Usually if we widen the X instead of the usual Nasty alignment, the Corner will back off. The blockingcall will be 12 ( left ) or (right ). From BLUE RAM we could run 122.

2. We will combo # 2 whenever possible. 221 puts X and the WB on # 2.

1. We will usually crack unless the Corner moves up on the line and attacks motion.

- If a crack is called and the Corner or OLB is attacking outside the SE, the blocking back has to adjustand kick out anyone crossing his face.

ADJUSTMENTS TO DEFENDER COMING HARD OFF THE EDGE.

COMMON EXAMPLES

E T T E B W M BC C S


BLUE RAM 48 FLY 221

- Anytime X is cracking ( first number not a 1 ) he tightens his split. Most of the time he will take a NASTYsplit ( 4 yards ). We want the OLB to stay inside him on FLY. If the OLB moves outside him with aNASTY split, he widens his split ( approx 8 yards ) on the next FLY to see if the OLB drops inside. If theOLB still lines up outside him at 8, we should be running inside the OLB from that formation. If a FLY iscalled with a crack, the X has to line up even wider.

- The SE and WB double the OLB with the goalof not letting the OLB escape over the top of theblocks. If the OLB fights underneath, the Xcomes off and looks for the first dangerous man.

- Can run FLY against 5-3 defense with either 3 blockers ( 231 ) or 21 with GUARD blocking ( below ) . + Coaches have to watch OLB. If he runs, run inside him. If he sits, give ball.

OFFENSIVE LINE - All linemen are on track which is REACH step and rip to outside. + Tackle ( and TE if one ) to play side has to stop feet of DE.

THE BLOCKING BACK- Blocking back has to start sideways. He takes 3 steps sideways on GREEN.- The blocking back needs to attack the outside shoulder of the defender.- The blocking back never runs past any defender crossing his face. The back has to adjust and kick out the defender.

COACHING POINTS- They like shorter edge ( GT better than GT&TE ). Run YELLOW instead of FLY. FLY can be run to slot/SE.- If DE playing wide, run STOP and kick him out with Tackle staying on him. + They don’t force sweep, rather go to STOP. + GOAL for tackle is stop DT’s feet. + Don’t pull guards because when they don’t pull they limit flow ( no run throughs) and back can cut back. ( Make a hole first, limit flow 2nd ).- FLY with GUARD blocking scheme only used on 3 man side ( side with TE ).- If # 3 outside tackle don’t run sweep.- If DE on air, Run GUARD

231 CALLED

- If the DE is aligned too wide for the Tackle to trackaround, the Tackle can call “LOAD” if there is a WBto his outside. If he calls “LOAD”, the WB blocksdown on the DE and the tackle releases inside on theILB.

- If there is no WB, the tackle has to try to reachthe DE and stay with the DE and turn him out. No“LOAD” call can be made if there is no WB.
