3. Numbering, Formations, Terminology System • Same personnel w/ multiple formations or multiple personnel groups? • “Normal” = 2TE, 2WB, 1FB • “Ace” = 1TE, 3WR, 1FB • “Deuce” = 2TE, 2WR, 1FB • “Jumbo” = 2 TE, 2FB, 1RB

11. Alignment Variations of H and Z “Close” = Z aligns close to Y            “Tight” = Z and H have tight alignment (close to Y and the open side OT).           

12. Alignment Variations, contd. “FLEX” = flex the Y (2 x 2 / 4-wide) e.g., “STEEL FLEX”         Y Q  X Z H  F

13. Motion H motion HIP = Into formation HOP = Over or through formation HAZE = Away from formation Z motion ZIP = Z Into formation ZOOM = Over or through formation ZAP = Away from formation

14. Huddle Call Sequence:Motion to the Formation Say the type of motion which leads to the formation at the snap. For example: HIP STAR TITE 38 SCISSORS           

21. Double Wing Play Tag Terms “Tucson” = Tackle Toss “Seattle” = Scissors “Solo” = Pull only BSG on DW Pitch. Pull only FSG on STR/STL Scissors. “Boise” = Boot “Tampa” = Throwback

22. Passing Tree Inside breaking routes are EVEN #’s Outside breaking routes are ODD #’s 0 = behind LOS 1 = arrow 2 = slant 3 = sideline 4 = hitch / curl 5 = comeback 6 = dig / cross 7 = corner 8 = post / seam 9 = fade / go   

23. Protections • DW Play Action – Man Schemes • Turnback (1st uncovered) – “Lucky” / “Ringo” • Full Gap / 3 step – “Black” / “Orange” • “Big” keeps BSTE in to block. • “Max” keeps both TE’s in to block. Protection Terms with “L” and “R” tell FB which direction to go – linemen know “opposite back”.
