DEFENSIVE PLAYBOOK 2008
USMMA DEFENSE We will employ an odd front as our base defense. Built into our 50 scheme will be complimentary fronts, line stunts and a multiple blitz package. We will also have the ability to play 4-3, 4-4, 6-1, 4-6, 3-3 and Nickel fronts within our defensive package. I. Huddle A. Alignment 1. The entire defense will face the sideline. 2. The Nose will set the huddle 1 yard from the ball. 3. The DT’s and OLB’s will align according to the side of the ball they play on. 4. The Mike will call the signals and the Dime will align in the front row. 5. The FS will also call signals. The Anchor will always align in the back row, behind the LB. 6. The CB’s will align according to the side of the ball they play on and will be at the end of the huddle. 7. The front will bend over, hands on knees, back straight & head up. * N USMMA M DT DT SIDELINE S W FS D A CB CB B. Huddle Procedure 1. The Nose will set the huddle and call “Huddle.” 2. Once the defense hears “Huddle” there should be silence and all of the players should see our sideline as the huddle is formed 3. The Anchor will give the Down & Distance. 4. The Mike will give the front and the stunt (e.g. ‘Okie Drive Tight’). 5. The FS will give the coverage (e.g. ‘6-5’) 6. The FS will say “Ready” and the team responds with “Hit” as they clap and break the huddle. C. Calling Line Stunts / Complimentary Alignments 1. Stunts and complimentary alignments may be called in the huddle in 2 ways: a) The Mike may predetermine the side of the stunt by saying “To,” meaning the side of strength or “Away,” meaning the side away from strength. b) The Mike may say “Tight,” in the huddle. This means that the Mike will give direction at the LOS.
II. At the Line Procedure A. Declaring Strength 1. The Anchor will declare strength with either an “Anchor right” or “Anchor left” call. 2. When the ball is on the hash, the Anchor will align to the field. 3. If a “Special” call is given in the huddle, the Anchor will align to the boundary if the formation dictates. 4. In the MOF, the Anchor will align to the side dictated by the formation strength. The most dangerous passing threat dictates formation strength. B. Coverage Calls 1. The FS will call adjusted coverages after the offensive set is recognized. a) The other DB’s, OLB’s & LB’s will repeat the FS call. C. Tight Call 1. Mike will always make a Tight Call. (Tight Left or Tight Right) 2. When “Tight” is used in conjunction with a frontage stunt or a comp alignment, the Mike must give the front direction at the LOS. 3. According to the opponent’s formation, a “Gee” or “Haw” call will be given. a) “Gee” moves the front right. b) “Haw” moves the front left. D. OLB-DT Communication 1. The OLB’s will make a “You” or “Me” call to the DT’s. a) “Me” signifies the OLB will be on the LOS (Press). b) “You” signifies the OLB will be off in coverage. c) The You – Me call will tell the DT if he is a contain pass rusher. E. Stem / Random 1. The front will stem on the command of “Move” given by the Mike. a) When two fronts are called (e.g. Okie Move Even), the Mike will stem the defense by calling “Move”. 2. When one front and/or stunt is called in the huddle, it is a “Random” situation for the entire defense. a) The Nose will call “Ronnie” for right, telling the front to align to the right of its final alignment. b) The Nose will call “Louie” for left, telling the front to align to the left of its final alignment. c) The Nose will call “Deuce” for a double eagle alignment. d) The LINEBACKERS and SECONDARY will based on their rules. 3. If a “Now” call is given in the huddle, the defense will align in the defense called and nobody will stem.
