7. Belly Keep • Advantages to Belly Keep • Rules are the same with the exception of eliminated double team and the addition of the log block. • Great method to utilize special athlete at QB • Another play to get outside that requires limited practice reps. • Deceptive play

8. Belly Keep • The Log Block • Allow contact to occur with the defender on the inside part of the outside number prior to wheeling your hips to the outside. • Eliminate all double teams movement is a bad thing. • Level 2 blocks become critical this is a flow play.

9. Belly Keep • Go over rules and show clips of Dan Terryberry at Onsted High School. It is critical to have a QB who can run to execute this play.

10. Belly Pass • Next year we are going to replace our Power pass (Roll Pass Concept) with Belly pass, WHY: • It allows a hand mesh with the back giving more action and more deception. • If running threat you can create more roll and a run/pass option. • Easier to slip motion man out in route for added receiver without reducing protection. • Can Keep identical blocking scheme on the LOS giving greater action.

11. NEW PASSING RULE • If you get nothing else from me today please take this!!!!! • THROW IT TO THE KID WHO WILL CATCH THE BALL!!!!

12. Belly Pass • Route calling, Why: • We do not run many routes • Never want a missed assignment when throwing the ball • Why not???? It is easy!

13. Belly Pass • All rules are identical to Belly Keep • Emphasis now on Blocking Level 1 • Center must cut Defensive Tackle vs. Down call and protect front side A gap vs. Blitz • Offensive Tackle must block man on vs. Down Call

14. Pass Reads • Always • Sneak a Peak at the Streak • Dump down • Our basic Routes will be Block, Clear, Slice with the motion back running a shoot if we don’t need added protection. • Variation: Clear, Flag Slice, Throwback • Variation: Block, Slice, Clear, with the running back running a shoot if we don’t need the added protection. • If quick pressure off the edge the shoot will be open.

15. G-T Counter • A Counter Variation off of Belly • Tons of action • D Gap Counter • Not a necessary play • Can be defended

16. G-T Counter • Rules are the same as Belly Keep with the Backside Tackle Pulling Show clips and talk about play This give you a whole series that complements itself that is highly deceptive and great against squeeze teams.
