48-49 Instructional

1. 48-49 Instructional 3-4 yds outside TE TRUST TEMPO DISCIPLINE PREPARATION SHARED RESPONSIBILITY Toss FS Outs: Outside stalk man on. Alert for “Bomb” call! FS Ins: Outside stalk man on. KEY block! Must maintain! TOSS v. “Split” FS TE: Reach rules! “REACH” RULES *Basic premise is to REACH one gap in front of us! *If I’m uncovered, I plan to REACH and OVERTAKE the down lineman in front of me. If that man slants away to the railroad track of the blocker in front of me, I stay on MY wide railroad track and RUN up to a linebacker. *If I’m covered, I first identify whether there’s a down lineman over the man in front of me…if he is, then I plan REACH and OVERTAKE him. If not, then I will REACH, RIP through the man over me, and RUN on my railroad track up to any 2nd or 3d level player that first shows up on my course! I only run once my buddy from behind takes over and yells “GO”! *COVERED linemen should cut their split if possible! *All linemen: LOSE ground to GAIN an angle! *Stay on your RAILROAD track on a wide angle! C C W M S R E T T E FS T: Reach rules! FS G: Reach rules! CENTER: Reach rules! BS G: Reach rules! BS T: Reach rules! 5 tech doesn’t count as covered! R: Automatic offset Strong/Soft to the call to make it happen quicker! Pre-read alignment of E.M.O.L. and support. “trapper’s arc,” look toss in & sprint to a spot 3-4 yds outside where the TE is or would be…key the blocks on E.M.O.L & support. Stay on a sprint to the sidelines unless he “skates” across your face. If he crosses face, plant sharply on outside foot and cut up North & South. This is a cut up play, not a cut back play! BS TE: Reach rules! 9 tech doesn’t count as “covered.” Get downfield! BS Outs: Convoy, cut off deep middle 1/3 saf. TD Block! BS Ins: Inside cut off the man over you.. H (Wing/Slot): Get on the next RR track outside the T /TE and block support. Attack his outside shoulder, maintain contact, drive to sideline if he widens .Can act as a lineman & use zone rules at times from Wing & Slot. “Crack” tells you to block the CB. “Clamp” tells you to double with T/TE on the outside shoulder of the E.M.O.L. QB: Reverse out tightly and make a soft, end-over-end toss into the RB’s outside armpit, following the toss with your eyes until the back has secured it and taken a step. Boot out deep, find E.M.O.L. - C l i c k h e r e t o r e t u r n t o d I r e c t o r y -

2. Perimeter Blocking 2 RECEIVER BLOCKING ADJUSTMENTS “DOOR” call “ALLEY” call “ED” call (2 man) “ED” (3 man) *Secure the block on the low man before you step off! C S 2. C *”EDDIE” call tells outside man to Inside Stalk instead of Crack! C C R 2. R R V E E *”EXPRESS” tells receivers the exact same thing as “EDDIE.” The only difference is for TE/OL! 1. 1. *Combination block by two receivers to “get the play started” by double teaming the force defender initially at the point of attack. 1. DOUBLE THE FORCE: Inside receiver inside stalks the man over him, insures against inside penetration. Outside receiver comes down to his outside shoulder to secure & move him. *Same idea as “Door,” applied to alley safety support. Can be done with the two outside receivers or the middle & inside receiver in Trips. Double the man over inside receiver, step off to safety when he fills. 1. DOUBLE THE LOW MAN: Inside rec. inside stalks the man over him, insures against inside penetration. Outs. receiver comes down to his outside shoulder to secure him. *Inside man, from 2-3 yard split, steps flat and seals E.M.O.L., outside man cracks. Often used from Squeezed sets to “shorten the edge.” Inside man: Step flat, shoulders should be perpendicular to L.O.S., “shield” E.M.O.L., don’t allow upfield penetration or pursuit underneath you. Use his momentum against him. *Inside man, often from motion, blocks CB, middle receiver executes “ED” on DE, outside receiver Cracks. Outside man cracks, Middle man steps flat to block E.M.O.L... Inside man (can be stationary or in motion to 4-5), step tightly around Crack block, eyeing CB as you do. If you can get outside leverage on him, “Hook” him as you would in “Cross...” 2. Both blockers eye CB. As one takes over the block on the force man, the other steps off to block CB when he closes up. 2. Blockers eye near safety; the one not taking over the block steps off, blocks him when he fills. If CB keeps outside leverage, “kick” him out, drive him out of hole with short, choppy steps! - C l I c k h e r e t o r e t u r n t o M a I n R u n n I n g G a m e M e n u -
