7. Trying for Penalty - 4th & Short (No Brainer)
This is a situation attempt to draw the defense offsides on a ©
"4th and Short" situation in the opponent's end of the field.
We will probably be in field goal range, close enough so that
a five yard "delay of game" penalty will not put us out of the
field -goal range. |
We will send in our Short Yardage/Goal Line team for the attempt.
These are tne rules. to follow:
is The. play in the huddle will be called "No Play On Infinity"
(continuous snap count). Quarterback keep players in huddle
till 15 seconds remain on "4) Second" clock. Players hustle
to Line: of Scrimmage. |
2. Line up as to run a play.
3. Quarterback call normal cadence - using various emphasis on
voice inflection (Do. Not use any type of head bob).
4. After cadence reaches 4 - Halfback will go in motion either
direction and then stop when near sidelines and get in a
3 point Stance. Remain motionless. !
Quarterback. remain motionless-and-continue -cadence- xe
"40 second" clock runs out. (We will receive a 5 yard
delay of game penalty).
6. Never snap the ball under any circumstances. (If a defender
jumps offside, we must depend on him to touch one of our
players to draw Eus penalty. Line use "Influence" technique.
7. Everyone remain mòtioniesé until the referee blows the play

P
Play called at the line of scrimmage changing call made in
huddle. The approach to the use of audibles is as follows:
a. There. will be situations by game plan where the best way
to take advantage of the defensive alignment will be with
a check-orfr.
Color designated as live will be used as check-off signal.
If the QB calls any other color than the live color, then the
piay called in the huddle will be run. The next number called
will be a fake. |
If the QB repeats the live NES the Lies called in the

OB can also use the live color and dá in the huddle. Disregard’
“the color. Then call the designated live color on the line of |
scrimmage. Offense will disregard the live color and run play..
called in the huddle. This will 2m anyone who might
past up the Juve color:

It isa good idea to go on second sound a few times early in
the game. This keeps the defensive line tense and off balance.
On 3rd down QB may use defensive front instead of "RED" to change play.

OFFENSIVE LINE PLA
+
Effective line play begins in the huddle. “Upon hearing the
play called by the quarterback, you should begin concentrating on
the most important part of the play, YOUR ASSIGNMENT. Your mind
must be clear and receptive. You must be able to put thoughts
about the last play and your opponent aside so that your mind can
play successful. Know exactly;what the most important:part of your
job is and get yourself in position to do that first. Visualize the
possible defenses, calls and possible adjustments. Communicate with
your teammates on the-way to the line of Scrimmage. Keep the snap
count continually in mind. One of the marks of a great offensive line.
is the ability of each player to burst from his stance -at.exactly the -
Same instant that the-ball is snapped. If you are Slow coming off the
ball or uncertain about anything, you will not achieve the togetherness
and aagressiveness that is required to defeat your opponent. The `
o Sã style of football is marked by tremendous AGGRESSIVENESS.
In order to win the SUPER BOWL we must always be determined to play
with more AGGRESSIVENESS than our opponent. . | E
Intelligent, aggressive line play is vital to the success of a
great offensive football team. Each and every lineman should feel .
that the team's success is dependent upon his ability to handle the:
man across the line from him. No detail should be overlooked regardless
of how minute it may seem on the surface. Each one of you should have |
your own individual "Game Plan" for your opponent. © Ask yourself these
questions-about him: 00000 mE EN WR
1. Is he a "reader" that is flexed off the line and.
‘reacts? What is he reading? My stance, my head
or the blocking scheme? ' | : |
2. Is he a "blower" that charges recklessly across |
, he line of penetration? NET SÉNG p
. 3. Does he charge high? or low?
= * &- Can He step firstewith either foot?” Does/hé play —— ^
from a right or left handed stance?
| £j
9: Does he use his hands well? Does he get them up
quickly when his ball is snapped?
6: Does he seem to use his.right arm and shoulder. more
than his left? | —
7. Does his stance or alignment tip off stunts or
games? Does the alignment of his teammates tip
off any stunts or games? ^ r
8: Can he be cut? On which plays can I cut him?
How does he play.a cut block? a | RN
Mo, H
DEED
joue —m— plit: Normal split = 2 feet
9. Ls: he protecting an injury? What is it?
10. What are his strengths and weaknesses? Speed,
quickness, reactions, strength, size, experience,
|, pursuit, conditioning, effort and Hustle?
11. What does he do best? Play the run or“rush
the passer? ` | m i
12. What are his best pass rush moves? Slap-arm-under,
Slap-arm-over, Head-butt-jerk, or Power-rush?
What is the best way for me to pass block him:
13. What is his name and number?. (You need to know
it because . will ask you).
- Each of our practices is planned to prepare you for the situations
that you Will face during the game. You must prepare yourself for each
practice. „Have a PRACTICE PLAN for each practice.“ Know what plays and
situations we will be working on and what to expect from the defense.
Talk to the pláyers that you practice against and tell them what
techniques you. want them to use so that you can get the best simulated
picture of what ydu will be facing in the game. Pick out something that
you need to improve on and work on it prior to practice. Get someone
else to help give you the right picture. If you have a problem during
practice, stay after and work on it until-you have it perfected.
Football is your profession and, if you are willing to perfect your
skills to become an authority on your position, you will have a long
and successful career. Everything that we do on the practice field.
. is designed to make you a better player and the +. a better team. `
Push yourself to practice hard and with a purpose so that you will be
totally prepared for every game situation. Never go into a game or
practice undecided about how to handle any situation that can occur.
Fundamentals
Short yardage (vs. 3-4) = 18 inches
Short yardage (vs. 601) + Goal line = 6 inches
Keep your stance wide enough (it makes defenders
nervous when you split them). Keep it consistent.
Alignment: GUARDS and TACKLES, align yourself so that your
É HAND is EVEN with the stripes on the CENTER'S
shoes: This alignment will give you some depth
off the line of scrimmage so that your man is not
as close to you. On short yardage and goal line
move up and get all of the ball.»
enter So
ene Lan
b
- Stance:.. You must continually check yourself to be sure that
i your stance ig consistent. Be able- to- make all the
. necessary movements from one stance. Defenders are
constantly etudying you to see if you are tipping

Head Priority: On each running play, you will be given a
head priority, which indicates the target spot where your head
should end up. ~ This head priority is designed to give you the
leverage to force the defender to take the long pursuit angle to
the ball carrier. You must be determined to get your head where
1t belongs on each play. |
Eyes: Before the snap, visualize the target point on your
“man. : At the snap, locate the target point with your eyes and
direct your head into the proper. head priority position. You
must keep your eyes open and "look your eyes" and head all the
„way into your man. "Looking your eyes in" will allow your body
“and feet to automatically make the proper adjustments.

Pop: I£ executed properly, the "pop" will momentarily stop
or stun your opponent and enable you to control his charge.
"Pop" should be delivered up and through your man with the head
first, then the hand, arm and shoulder rip, timed a split second
later to get the maximum control. The "rip up" of the arms
should never precede the "pop'. When it does, over-extension
results.
Hands: The proper hit and arm rip is designed to get your
hands into the.body of the defender. Work hard.to get your hands
into his cheat. Once you get them there, keep them there. Use
them to feel his reaction to your block and to control his

lower and explode up and through the defender. Swing your knee
up into his groin and follow through on your feet. You should

| “MATE BLOCKS
Our offensive system is based on the principle of two or
more blockers being responsible for reading the relative |
alignment of two or more defenderá in an area and making the:
appropriate calls that enable you to gain the best blocking
angles for the play. To accomplish this, both blockers must see
both defenders. The mate blocks are named ta. specify which two
blockers are involved in the block.
Technique: Start the block by double teaming the down
‘lineman. The onside blocker should fire out straight ahead, |
aiming your head at the down lineman's onside shoulder pad, (you
have backside: help). The offside blocker should step laterally,
to. the down lineman. Keep your eyes focused on the.
linebacker while aiming your head into the middle of the suh
| lineman's numbers. Both of you should rip vp and through the
defender with your hands (offside blocker-use one hand on DL

| Cut: Indicates that you are on the offside of a
wide play and we want the defensive lineman cut tothe ground.
‘The onside Blocker should power through to the linebacker. The
offside blocker should pull down the line, aim your head past the

linebacker, to. give yourself a ciue as to any etunt that may take

The CENTER must be the leader of the OFFENSIVE LINE. The
majority of the line calls are to he made by the CENTER, and to
do this he must first have a clear understanding of the concept
of the plays that ve will use. He must know the assignments and
the adjustments of all the offensive positions. He must be. able
to recognize and call out the defensive fronts and be able to
quickly determine which calle to make to gain the best blocking
: The CENTER must also be quick and consistent. Work to
improve your quickness in every drill. Our whole emphasis will
be to establish consistent, high quality performance and
everything must étart with the CENTER.

FOOTBALL LEAGUE. o Ke o E
In order to maintain CONSISTENCY.in our passing attack, we
must develop tremendous personal PRIDE in our ability to PROTECT
the PASSER. We must work INDIVIDUALLY and COLLECTIVELY as ONE
WELL COORDINATED UNIT to become the BEST IN THE BUSINESS. We
must develop the ability to ANTICIPATE each other a moves and be
able to make the PROPER ADJUSTHENTS without: HESITATION. We must
also be able to ANTICIPATE and ADJUST to any type of defensive
manuever. To do this with any degree of efficiency, requires
that we.KNOW every possibie DETAIL available about our OPPONENT.
PASS PROTECTION, in its eimplest farm, can be reduced to.
your having MORE DESIRE to keep your man off. the. passer, than he
hag to get to the passer. Each time a pass play is called, EVERY
OFFENSIVE LINEMAN should have a feeling in the pit of his stomach
that he REFUSES td be beaten. "NOT ME, HOT NOW, I'LL DO HY JOB
“AND MY MAN WON'T GET THERE". All the technique in the world can
not help you if you don't have this kind of. DETERMINATION to get
the job done. Think of yourself as an ALL-PRO. Then think. of.
how an ALL-PRO pass blocks. It ta true that a person IS Or
BECOMES what he THINKS ABOUT. Successful people are guccessful
because they have made EXCELLENCE their way of life. In order
for ua to become the. BEST IN THE BUSINESS, we- must first think of
ourselves as the BEST IN THE BUSINESS. This pattern of thought
should begin NOW. | |
While it is generally thought that the offensive lineman’s
role in pass protection must be that of passive resistence to the
pass rusher, who has all the advantages, it does not have to be
that way if you are AGGRESSIVE in your technique. With our
technique of page protection, we can CONTROL the rusher with our
————————ÀM L mE ————Pal— ER een a si.
— —— ANDE and DICTATE TO HIM the moves he can and can not make. We
WILL NOT simply set back and let them THROW us around like rag
dolls. With the proper techniques and YOUR AGGRESSIVENESS, ve-
vill be able to PUNISH the rughers as well as keep them OFF THE.
QUARTERBACK. This requires a unique blend of DETERMINATION, `
CONTROL, CLEVERNESS, CUNNING and PATIENCE. | |

Football is a COLLISION sport, and anyone who plays it must

(SE PASS SET
The first and most fundamental element of pass
a. good FUNDAMENTAL POSITION to take on the rusher. The manner of
getting depends on the ALIDNHENT and CAPABILITIES of the
opponent. Getting, and then maintaining proper body position
(BETWEEN the RUSHER and the PASSER), is the first basis for
getting the job done. Get out of your stance as QUICKLY as.you
can, into a good FUNDAMENTAL POSITION with both FEET in.contact '
with the ground and the body under CONTROL and in GOOD BALANCE.
The. CENTER and GUARDS ahould set OM THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE and

SHUFFLE your feet QUICKLY as if feeling the ground with them. Do
not pump them up and down as if running up stairs. The more your
feet are in CONTACT with the GROUND, yet still MOVING, the FASTER
you are able to PUSH off the ground when REACTING to your man. A.
body in motion tends to stay in motion and a body at rest tends
to stay at rest. You can not pass block at rest. Keep your feet
MOVING, even LÊ you must wait for a delayed rusher or a blitzer.
Kasp your feet APART ta ayiti crossing over. If you
can not avoid crossing over, at least strive to delay it as long
as possible. You are more susceptible to being thrown off
balance when yoür feet are crossed. Keep yor legs FLEXED and
your head UP to. avoid overextension. Leave your feet only as a
last resort." Dependence on cutting will only get you into
trouble. dë ^ |
It is better to give up a little ground, to maintain
and adjust your position, than to over-commit and lose your man
too quickly. Yau must follow any commitment by immediately
fighting to regain the fundamental position. Make your
correction immediately before he can take advantage of you.
KEEP YOUR FEET MOVING! | |

Keep the CENTER of your body DEE BETWEEN the
RUSHER and the PASSER (basketball him). The CENTER and GUARDS
should keep your HEAD in the MIDDLE and MIRROR your man with your

You must DISCIPLINE yourself to set CONSISTENTLY and
IMMEDIATELY react AGGRESSIVELY to his first move. Take and

SLIDE to a favorable position to intercept him and: STAY BETWEEN

linemen on either. side of you that you are leaving the area and
they must area any twist between their men without your help.
Step back with your near foot pushing off of your far foot to get
depth. Your eyes should initially be on your first
responsibility. AB soon a you eliminate him, shuffle to your
next responsibility, scanning for an outside blitzer. Always
maintain INSIDE/OUT position on the autside rusher. ‘Never set so
deep that he has a TWO WAY rush lane. „Go towards him and punch
him vith your hands and head to stop his momentum and make him
start over. Continue punching him to control his movement. If
neither one rushes, and you are free, help the tackle in front Gf
you. If he is in good shape go back inside and help the center or
guard. Always HIT someone...

ADDITIONAL COACHING POINTS |
i. The key WORDS in pase protection are:
QUICKNESS
AGGRESSIVENESS
BALANCE
CONTROL
POSITION
PATIENCE
POISE
CONSISTENCY | i
Còntinually concentrating on these points will help you
to avoid problems. |
a, -
seg ad
34,
2. Stay after your man. Never quit or let up until you hear
the WHISTLE. Da not be HON downfield to see who ig
- open.
3. Carry aut your assignment ALONE. Never be. dependent on
an uncovered man to do your job. He may not be able ta
help you. i
4, When helping on an escaping rusher, HIT him before he.
escapes. Make him know that he has been hit.
Anticipate. |
5. If your man slips Ba is at your feet, ATTACK him and
take your best LEGAL shot at him BEFORE he can recover.
He would do the same to you.
6. If he jumps up in front of you, DRIVE your helmet and
hande into his mid-section to keep his hands down. Never
let him get away, painlessly, with batting down our pasa.
7. Keep your poise, even if you break. down. Immediately.
begin concentrating on the NEXT PLAY go that you don't
make a series of mistakes while you are. thinking about
something that already happened. Between series, on the
gidelines, analyze your technique and that of your
opponent and come up with a plan for the next series of
plays. (Example: What did I do to cause the breakdown?
What did he do to beat me? What oc d can I use to
counter his moves next time?
8. Your ability to accurately analyze your technique saniat
be over-emphasized. Be FLEXIBLE in your method of
ATTACK. Alvays have a PRIMARY PLAN and at least one
SECONDARY PLAN that you can go. to. If you are having.
trouble with a.technique, you must make some changes.
However, you must have CONFIDENCE in your techniques and
execute them with tremendóus EE for SUM to be
effective.
9. Pass protection FUNDAMENTALS are what you must |
consisténtly concentrate and work on for as long as you
play in the NFL. The tougher the situation and your
————————À——Ggponent, the 1658 you experiment, and the more you must
emphasize the. BASIC FUMDAMENTALS.
iQ. we realize that you can only keep your man out for &
limited period of time, but as linemen, you must accept
. the responsibility. of providing whatever time is
NECESSARY to get the ball off. Never use the excuse or
alibi that you blocked your man long enough. If. the |
QUARTERBACK gets HIT, we all failed. VE WILL NOT FAIL
BECAUSE WE ARE THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS!

TWIST- Term used to describe a defensive pass rush maneuver in
EN
which one 'or: more defenderg LOOP around one or more other
defenders. We will strive to AREA BLOCK all twists if.
possible. We must work together, at the same LEVEL, and
COMMUNICATE with each other QUICKLY, to be effective against
twists. As you set for the pass and the defenders begin
their pass rush, the LINEMAN whose rusher ig etarting to
LOOP around must call out "TWIST", and immediately slide TO
THE DIRECTION that his man is LOGPING. HIT the penetrating
defender hard to knock off his grip on your teammate and
also push your- teammate off so that he is in position to
pick up the looper. One of the main reasons for locking our
arms out and stabbing the rushers away is that if we keep
the rushers from getting into our bodies, their twists will
not work. It is very important that we allow NO PENETRATION
by the defender going FIRST on the twiet. NEVER RELEASE your
man to your teammate until you FEEL that he. has CONTROL of
him. You will usually have more time to pick up the LOOPER
than you think. BE PATIENT! When the defendera go into.
their twist late: and: you are on different levels, STAY with
YOUR defender end MAN the twist.
"PICK"- Call by the TACKLE (id he has time to make ity when aie
"END shifts into the GAP, NEXT. TO a DEFENSIVE TACKLE, so that
the defenders can run,a quick, twist. The TACKLE will fire!
out aggressively and equare up on the defender going FIRST,
and the GUARD will set and block the LOOPER. Even if.the '
TACKLE doeen’ t make the, cail, ‘the GUARD should recognize the
shift and block it this WAY. tert: Be sure that the END has
shifted NEXT. to the TACKLE and l : to. DIAMOND or 7UP.
