the face of an offensive player.Example :

Hand Placement

- Thumbs up and elbows in, aiming at the top of the numbers

Lock Out After we have great hand placement

NOW LOCK OUT ARMS

This allows you to control the blocker

This creates a clear view to your gap and allows you to Peek and find the ball

This makes it difficult for the O-linemen to hold us

This allows us to shed blockers with less difficulty

'X' An 'X' call tells the D-linemen to exchange gap responsibilities with the blitzinglinebacker and safety. DT will Face to A -Gap. Sam LB will prowl to A Gap thenexecute blitz to B Gap exchanging gap responsibilities with the DT

LBs will take a 45 degree, 6 inch, downhill read step at the snap of

the ball.

LB primary keys are Guard to Near Back. The Guards will tell us the direction of the play.

ON PASSING DOWNS Lbs will drop to the high shoulder of

the threat in their zone. WE DO NOT DROP TO SIT WHERE THERE

IS NO WORK! THAT IS WAISTED ENERGY & A WAISTED MAN.

Base B locks

OG heads straight ahead

LBs will attack the blocker from the outside-in

with his inside shoulder, keeping the outside arm free.

DOWN BLOCK


7/22

guard down blocks on the NG and the B-gap is open, you ATTACK your

gap immediately. It indicates an inside zone, Iso, or Power G play.

LB Play vs. Down B lock

LB will ATTACK the lead blocker (Fullback or Pulling Guard)

LB will ATTACK the outside shoulder at full speed keeping outside leverage

- meaning you hit him with your inside shoulder.

Power G LB must get around the 3 Tech and 5 Tech defensive linemen to hit

the OG with his outsideshoulder


8/22

Reach Blocks OG tries to get outside of you, his first step will be to try to get an

outside angle on the defender to seal off your pursuit of an outside

running play.

LB Play vs. Reach Block

LBs will take a 45 degree downhill read step at the snap of the ball.

Making a Reach Block read will then shuffle-step outwards to stay on

the outside half of the guard, then attack the OG outside shoulder


9/22

Front side Pull When the Guard to your side of the formation pulls out and heads

outside to your side

The pulling OG tells us the play will attack outside,beyond the OT/TE behind the pulling OG

On front side pull LB scrapes around behind the DE to search for the

first opening he can find and presses it.

Backside LB will DRAG THE ANCHOR looking for cutback threat

in front side A-gap and B-gap


10/22

Backside Pull When the guard to your side of the formation goes away.

Backside pulls are incorporated into counters, traps, and power

plays. Usually where the guard goes, the ball will be following,therefore you are the cutback man.

Backside LB will DRAG THE ANCHOR looking for cutback threat

in front side A-gap and B-gap


11/22

VEER

The veer block is a down block, but involves both the frontside G and T. It is the basis for most option plays and

counters, but can be used on long traps and power aswell. Guards and Tackles in veer schemes will usuallytake a slightly wider split.

If the LB recognizes a veer block, he shuffles outside theveering OT and is responsible for the C-gap. He mustknow that the ball is coming to this side of the field.
