  23. S Sam-Blitz to Gap *All other LB position are the same call, the name of the LB is a blitz to the assigned gap. (ex: Kat, Blood, Will) *To Blitz to another gap change the blitz call, (ex: “Sock”-Sam outside, “wookie”-Will outside, “Kill”-Kat inside, “Bite”-Blood inside **IMPORTANT-Make sure all blitzers find the ball at the LOS and aim for the up field shoulder of the QB if he is in the pocket. Outside blitzers must keep contain. Defensive Back Blitzes: *Same as LB calls with the name calling the blitzer. You can change names of the stunts to change the blitz gaps.
