    Potential (Eligible) Receivers Defensive Players (X)

    Line of Scrimmage: Extends across the field, where the ball is at the start of the play. (LOS)

    Center Offensive Linemen Quarterback

    Running Backs (either can take the hand-off from the Quarterback) The offensive positions: We often use circles (O's) to show offensive players, and X's to show defensive players. The Basic Running Play: The quarterback takes the snap from Center, and hands off to the running back. The offensive line attempts to drive the defenders away from the "hole." (1) Another running back may also be used to drive the runner away from the hole. (2) The running back hits the hole at full speed, breaks through the line and attempts to score a touchdown. (don't worry about the play names right now!)

    The Basic Passing Play: The quarterback takes the snap from the center. He then backs away from the line of scrimmage to get space from the defense, while making his decision about which receiver is going to be open. The Receivers run their "routes" at the snap, expecting the ball to be thrown to them on timing. The offensive line sets up to block the opposing defenders from getting to the quarterback while he makes his decision. The examples here are a basic 3-step drop with very simple routes.
