The Huddle:

A brief, efficient business meeting

How we conduct and break the huddle sets the tone for how we will playonce the ball is snappedit must be disciplined, focused, and unified!

The Center sets the location of the huddle, then calls the business

meeting to order by giving the down and distance situation.

Sprint to it and out of it! Create TEMPO!

Once the quarterback enters the huddle, he assumes COMPLETE

control of the business meeting. NO ONE else talks!

Huddle Tempo

We have two types ofhuddle tempo, and also two kinds ofno-huddle

tempo! Each do a particular job in certain situations in a game!

OurHUDDLEHUDDLE tempos are Normal HuddleNormal Huddle, and Four Minute HuddleFour Minute HuddleNormal HuddleNormal Huddle: Designed to keep us in normal game rhythm. We generally should

be out of the huddle by :15 on the play clock. Brisk, business-like pace.

Four Minute HuddleFour Minute Huddle: Designed to protect a lead and run clock. Emphasis on staying

in bounds, protecting the ball, making first downs, no penalties! We will be out of the

huddle on normal time, but the QB will slow the pace of getting set, starting the

cadence with approximately :07 on the play clock!

OurNO HUDDLENO HUDDLE tempos are On the LineOn the Line and SpeedSpeed.

On the LineOn the Line: All calls are made on the L.O.S., but were not in a hurry. We can takeour time and manipulate defenses with the threat of running a play at any time.

Receivers move in to hear the play, then move out to their positions.

Speed:Speed: Used to speed up the game and conserve time. All calls at the L.O.S., NOdummy calls, NO motion! We can huddle if the clock is stopped if we choose.

From the Huddle to the Line:

The Six Second Rule

The most important six seconds of a football play happen BETWEEN the

huddle and the line of scrimmagehow you prepare yourself during thistime will determine the success of the play!

The Six Second Rule is a simple mental routine that each position has

that allows them to do their thinking before the play so that they can be

prepared, confident, and aggressive once the play begins, and be ready

for anything that might happen!

The actual routine varies by position, but its basic elements are:WHAT IS MYWHAT IS MY JOBJOB (or basic assignment) on this play?(or basic assignment) on this play?

The Cadence: Basic Information

The cadence is a critical way for us to gain an edge! The team that gets off the

ball usually wins each play!

Basic formula: Number/Number, Number/Number, Set, Hit!

Example: 1Example: 1--22, 422, 4--661661--22, 422, 4--66Set, HIT!66Set, HIT!

ReceiversReceivers alwaysalways move only when they see the ball move!move only when they see the ball move!

We can change or check to plays using a live number in the first digit

When identifying the location of players in the defensive front, we describe them in terms of thetechnique theyre playing. Understanding these different locations, or techniques is critical to

us for a number of reasons:*It provides a very strong clue as to what gap a man is responsible for, as well as the defenders around him

*It determines for linemen, in many cases, what their first two steps will be and how theyll go about doing their job*Often, it determines which way well check a play to insure the best chances of success!

-Either one or both of the

guards does NOT have a

Core isCore is OddOdd

The next step in identifying defenses is to classify the front structure in terms of its core. Thecore refers to the how defenders are aligned within the A and B gaps. There are only fourbasic cores, as identified by the Center at the line of scrimmage, and they provide a great deal ofinformation as to how the rest of the defense is being played around it and how we want to block!

The cores are named and identified as follows:

VVVVVV

-Center has a down lineman
