“Quick” Mechanics Overview for HL / LJ 9/23/2013

Getting Spots (Not near GL or LTG) Dead ball = Middle of Field Both wing officials comes in ‘unobtrusively’, or until there’s resistance. Officials mirror one another. LJ primarily responsible to rule when LTG is obviously obtained. DE CB T L LJ WR RB
Getting Spots (Not near GL or LTG) • Dead ball = Outside of Hash (Side Zone) • Covering official comes in ‘unobtrusively’, or until there’s resistance. Offside official mirrors by coming in between the numbers & the hash marks or until there’s resistance. The further ball is dead in a side zone, the further coming in when mirroring. • LJ primarily responsible to rule when LTG is obviously obtained. DE CB T L LJ RB WR
Getting Spots (Near GL) Near LTG Both officials crash to get an accurate spot!!! LTG: Hold spot until the Referee has time to observe the spot in reference to the LTG. L LJ RB DE CB T WR
Miscellaneous Wing Topics • Goal Line Mechanics: • 4- & 5- Man: Responsible for the GL at whens snapped at the 10 and in. • 6-Man: Responsible for GL at the 7 and in. • Go directly to GL and then move back up field once play is dead to get the spot, if necessary. • If the spot is near the GL, run in, with a purpose, in the field of play, not the end zone, then find the ball. Don’t guess. • Whistle Mechanics: • There should be a whistle after each dead ball. The whistle does not ‘KILL’ the play, simply signifies that the ball is dead. • Don’t guess and never blow until you see the ball. Better late than never. . .and definitely better late than inadvertent!!!
More Miscellaneous Wing Topics • Chain Mechanics: • When LTG is obviously gained: • LJ stops the clock and signals to the Referee. HL can kill the clock if sure. Should never look back at the chains. • Be sure there are no flags. • Visually communicate with the Referee. Wait for the Referee to give the First Down Signal. • Then, waive to your chain crew to move. • Present your downfield foot for the down box, then set the back stick on the down box. • Set clip on nearest ‘big’ line to back stick. • When LTG is not obviously gained: • LJ communicates to Referee that we’re close (“Close, Close Close” or “Take a look!”) • Referee decides if LTG was obtained or if there will be a measurement. • If measurement, the LJ marks the clip spot. The HL sets the clip on the clip spot.
