  1. 2007 SUPERBOWL 1st Quarter 14:46 Remaining 14 seconds into game Bears 6 Colts 0 KICKING GAME !!

  2. 1-6-4 PUNT COVERAGE Three Levels of Coverage Malcolm B. Robinson, Jr. • March 2007

  3. 1-6-4 Punt Cover Great Youth Kicking Game Scheme

  4. 1-6-4 Punt Cover • Simple concept • Easy to teach • Easy to learn • Provides steady, reliable coverage • Requires just a few minutes per week to maintain skills

  5. BASIC PUNT FORMATION • OL splits - 1 foot • Up Backs - A Gap protectors - 1 Yard behind OGs • Personal Protector - 5 Yards behind football

  6. SCHEME IS NOT ALIGNMENT SPECIFIC Many alignments may be used SPREAD PUNT

  7. Deep Set Spread Punt

  8. Narrow Set Spread Punt

  9. 1-6-4 Punt CoverageThree Waves or Levels of Coverage

  10. 1-6-4 Punt CoverageThree Waves or Levels of Coverage First Level -Deep Snapper: • Clean Snap - snapper releases & becomes ‘Gunner’ • Gunner - no rules, other than attack & tackle the football in the open field

  11. Second Level of CoverageThe 6 Offensive Linemen

  12. • Release upfield, locate angle of punt and work to be outside the ball to your side • Goal is to have 3 defenders to each side of ball • As Second Wave gets to about 5 yards from return man they ‘break-down’ and chop feet, staying squared-up to end zone. • Expect returner to try to beat you outside (wide)

  13. 5 Yds 5 Yds 5 Yds • Have each End work to align in a 5x5 relationship with ball • As return man moves laterally, Ends, Tackles & Guards also move laterally to keep ball between Guards

  14. Third Level - Safeties: Two Up Backs Fan out & Become Wide Safeties Safeties Align 8 Yards Deeper Than 2nd Level

  15. Third Level - Safeties: Personal Protector & Punter Fan Out & Become Inside Safeties Safeties Align 8 Yards Deeper Than 2nd Level

  16. Third Level - Safeties: • Remaining 4 defenders of the coverage team (backs) become the third wave.• Release and sprint upfield to a 4 across alignment behind the 6 defenders in Second Level - 8 yards deeper then Level Two.

  17. Now, entire scheme looks like so...

  18. First Level - Snapper

  19. First Level - Snapper Second Level - 6 Offensive Linemen

  20. First Level - Snapper Second Level - 6 Offensive Linemen Third Level - 4 Backs - The Safeties

  21. Snapper/Gunner • has no rules;

  22. Snapper/Gunner • has no rules;• is encouraged to tackle the return man in open field;

  23. Snapper/Gunner • has no rules;• is encouraged to tackle the return man in open field; • If that happens, the play is over and the next two levels of coverage have no job to do. But... assume he misses.

  24. Punt Returner • Coverage is effected by lateral movement as a UNIT

  25. Punt Returner • Coverage is effected by lateral movement as a UNIT • 6 Second Level defenders move laterally as one, keeping 3 defenders to each side of football.

  26. Punt Returner • Coverage is effected by lateral movement as a UNIT • 6 Second Level defenders move laterally as one, keeping 3 defenders to each side of football.

  27. • Third Level -(Safeties) sprint down field behind second wave and align 8 yards deeper

  28. • Third Level -(Safeties) sprint down field behind second wave and align 8 yards deeper • Safeties move laterally just as Second Level does, striving to keep 2 safeties to each side of the ball.

  29. Punt Returner • Eventually Return Man will give up going wide and attack inside. • Second Level then breaks down and attacks the ball and makes the tackle.

  30. COACHING POINTS:SNAPPER• Deep snapper - be sure snap is clean before releasing;• Sprint down field and make an open field tackle.

  31. COACHING POINTS Offensive Linemen Second Level:

  32. COACHING POINTS Offensive Linemen • Second Level: • Secure inside gap, deny penetration; listen for ball punted and “GO” call from punter; • Release and sprint upfield, widening as you go; locate ball and bend release to accommodate angle of punt; • Work to advance upfield in time and space with your Second Level teammates; don’t run away from them; • As you get to return man break down at 5 yards from him; chop feet and come under control; • Stay square to end zone, don’t turn shoulders/hips to sideline;

  33. COACHING POINTS Offensive Linemen • Second Level: • Whether you are Guard, Tackle or End, fight to gain and keep outside leverage on the football; • We want 3 defenders evenly spaced on each side of the return man; • Ends on either side of the ball should never allow the returner to get anywhere close to a head-up position, keep fighting for contain leverage, even if you have to lose ground somewhat; • Ends assume a 5 yard by 5 yard relationship with the return man - 5 yards deeper & 5 yards wider.

  34. COACHING POINTS Offensive Linemen • Second Level: • Tackles and Guards -work hard to keep the return man between the OGs and to deny returner the chance to outflank your position; • VIP to move laterally w/o turning hips and shoulders to sideline; • Let ball come upfield to you; don’t break second level and create a hole in unified front to get to ball.

  35. Ideally, the alignment would appear like so: 5 yards 5 Yards 8 Yards

  36. COACHING POINTS Safeties- Third Level - the Safeties: • Release when football is punted; • Up backs fan out wide and become outside Safeties • Punter & Personal Protector slide upfield inside and align as inside safeties • Safeties align 8 yards deeper than second level coverage.

  37. Key Points For Success with 1-6-4 Punt Cover • • Deep Snapper must first be a reliable punt snapper; if he can play in open spaces, too - this is a big bonus; • • Second Level - try and match abilities here - use kids that can run and have the Ends be the better runners; - no ‘Fat Freddies’; • • Make sure Second Level adjusts their paths to accommodate wide punts; • • Rep the lateral movement of the 6 OL in Second Level. • • Breakdowns happen on change of direction by return man; rep this and have second level plant & change direction w/o losing their alignment.

  38. REMEMBER… • the kicking game may prove to be more important than either of the other two phases of football.•Rep it every practice !

  39. PRACTICE AT LEAST ONE PHASE OF THE KICKING GAME EACH PRACTICE In theory this is 1/3 of the game, but many times it turns into a great deal more...

  40. The End …
