How We Call Plays
First Word = Formation
Second Word = Motion
Third Word = 2 Digits
First Digit tells the B Back where to go
Second Digit tells who the AT man is where the ball is going
Fourth Word = tells you the blocking rules
EXAMPLE
Tight Rip -- 88 -- Super Power
B Back
goes to 8
The Ball is
going to 8
Formation
Motion
Tells you your blocking rules
The man furthest from the AT man carries the ball.

The Snap Count
In order for us to keep the defense off balance we will use the
following varying snap count.

Black 85! -- Black 85! GO! Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Hut
If the QB calls the play and says ON Black then you go on the second
Black Word
If the QB calls the play and saysON GO then go on GO!
The Motion Man goes in motion on Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
To keep ourselves from jumping off sides and to keep the defense off
balance we always:
run all B back (fullback) plays Wedge, 4X, 5X, 6G, 7G on Black!
All Pass plays on GO!
run all other plays on Hut
We can also change the play at the line of scrimmage if the QB;
calls a color other than Black like RED & then calls the play
EXAMPLE: RED 6G! --- RED 6G! THAT MEANS THE
PLAY IS NOW 6G

Offensive Line Blocking Rules
General Rule If the play is coming to the AT Man on your side then your blocking rule is:
GAP ON - READ UP
This means that you block down to the GAP AWAY from the play first.
If no one is there then block the man on you
If no one is there then block the first linebacker strait ahead or inside.
FOR EXAMPLE: Tight RIP 88 Super Power GAP ON READ UP








THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE THEY ARE;
If you are a Guard and you hear the words G,O, 2 or 3 this means you are pulling.
If you Hear the word REACH then you block the GAP toward the AT Man or the side of the play
On 4X and 5X - X means that the Tackle and the Guard are executing a cross block Tackle goes first.

ON and OFF calls for Tight Ends, A and C Backs
Tight Ends are required to make an ON or OFF call on every play.
The ON or OFF call tells the A or C back which man to block
Lets break the blocking rule down in steps;
Step I
The Tight End will come to the Line and apply his blocking rule GAP-ON-READUP
Step II
If the Tight End has someone in his GAP and NO ONE ON HIM he calls OFF
OFF tells the A or C Back to Read UP to the inside Linebacker
Step III
If the Tight End has a MAN ON him then he calls ON
ON tells the A or C back to Double Team with him.
Both Tight Ends are required to make this call even if the play is not coming to
your side. We do this to fool the defense.



Offensive Line Blocking Rules
On or OFF call

Offensive Line Blocking Rules - Center
On every play the Center will bock MAN ON - MAN AWAY
There is only ONE exception to this rule and it is when we face an Eagle or 7 Man GAP front
or when the Center must fill for a Pulling Guard and he is covered.
Lets break the blocking rule down in steps:
Step I
The Center comes to the LOS and looks at the front
If he sees a MAN ON him and a MAN ON THE BACKSIDE GUARD and the play
dictates that the Guard is going to pull, he CALLS GAP IT
GAP IT Tells the Guard Tackle and the Tight End to BLOCK DOWN
Once the GAP IT call is made then the Guard, Tackle and Tight End call it too. This
tells everyone that they are blocking down.
FOR EXAMPLE: Tight RIP 88 Super Power Against a 7 Man Front
