FULLHOUSE T: OFFENSIVE LINE PLAY

Our philosophy is based on angle blocking. Everything is blocked “down” or lead as described in our rules below. There are Play Side Rules and Backside Rules. When a tag word is added, only then is a change made

*Iowa Wing T Blocking from Coach Forrest Evasheski 1950’s

BACKSIDE RULES:1. Backside guard either pull/traps unless base or power tag word

is called.2. Backside Tackle has Arc Block to the near block of the center.

You protect your inside, unless a tag word is used for you to pull.

Backside Rules:1. Backside guard either pull/traps unless base or power tag word

is called.2. Backside Tackle has Arc Block to the near block of the center.

You protect your inside, unless a tag word is used for you to pull.

3. Backside Tight End blocks the middle third with an inside release.

Playside Rules:1. Hole called is LEAD2. First man inside the hole called is post. If nobody to

post, then lead3. Second man inside the hole called (if off-tackle or sweep

is called) has the OIL RULE. On inside-Linebacker.4. First man outside the hole called has linebacker across5. Second man outside the hole called has linebacker

across

Tag Words: *Tiger *Double Pull *Cross Block *Base *Power *Base Reverse

Final Thoughts: *If in doubt who to block, remember

to block down. Stay on the path *Block an area, don’t worry about

who you block “Angle Blocking within the Zone” Film clips

Spread Offense: Run Game

We will have four (4) run plays from our formations:

1. Zone Strong/Weak2. Zone Read Strong/Weak3. Option Strong/Weak (will vary

from week to week lead or load option

4. Counter Strong/Weak

Playside/Backside Adjustments

Backside Tackle:*Reduce split if threat to inside*Blocking angle: Inside knee of DL

Backside Tight End:*Reduce split if necessary. This is not as important as the backside tackle.*Take an outside release

Backside Guard:*Be off the ball as deep as possible*Trap the first wrong color jersey

Spread Offense: Run Game

We will have four (4) run plays from our formations:1. Zone Strong/Weak2. Zone Read Strong/Weak3. Option Strong/Weak (will vary week to week on

lead or load option)4. Counter Strong/Weak5. QB Sweep

Zone Strong/WeakTailback will receive handoff and find open seam to the call (strong or weak formation). QB fakes counter away. We want to run the zone to the 3 technique. Will use Razor or Larry to switch from Right/Left

Zone Read Strong/WeakQB will either handoff to the TB strong/weak or keep it on the counter action.

Rule for the QB: If you think the backside DE/OLB can make the play on the TB, pull the ball. If we want to call this play instead of the read, then we will trap with the tackle.

Option Strong/Weak

On Lead:1. QB get down hill fast and make the end man on the LOS

make a decision.2. Tailback must get into option phase. We can have the TB

be on the side of the option or on the away. We use both

On Load:1. We designate by formation who will block the end man on

the line of scrimmage.2. Depending on the ability of the QB, we want him to carry

the ball as long as possible.

Counter Strong/Weak1. TB lines up opposite of the side called for the QB2. We will trap with the tackle or guard to off set the keys by

the defense/scheme

Quarterback Sweep1. Can be out of any of the three formations, but works well

with the Tight Set (With TE)2. TB lead blocks for the QB
