Now that we know the names of the
positions and the spacing between the players
Lets talk about play calling !

EVERY PLAY BEGINS WITH A
1. LEO (left) or ROGER (right) CALL this
designates where the Split End will go.
Leo (Split goes left)

The TIGHT END will line up opposite the Split

NEXT ----EVERY PLAY HAS A
1. LEO (left) or ROGER (right) CALL 2. NUMBER
that determines how the RB line up That will
take some explaining!
11
BACKFIELD ALIGNMENT
Lets now explain how we number our formations.
Imagine a two TE alignment that looks like this
1 2 3 4 5 6
7
TE
TE
The first thing we do is number each man left
to right (just like you read a book)
12
1 FORMATION
If the WB is on the LEFT next to the 1 man -
the FORMATION is 1
1 2 3 4 5 6
7
QB
WB
FB
HB
13
7 FORMATION
If the WB is on the RIGHT next to the 7 man -
the FORMATION is 7. Pretty simple so far.
Remember that in 1 7 the HB always lines up
opposite the WB.
1 2 3 4 5 6
7
QB
WB
FB
HB
14
2 FORMATION
By moving the HB over to the same side of the WB
behind the 2 man we have changed the backfield
into a 2 Formation.
1 2 3 4 5 6
7
QB
WB
FB
HB
15
6 FORMATION
Just the opposite for the 6 Formation .. By
moving the HB over to the same side of the WB
behind the 6 man we have changed the backfield
into a 6 Formation.
1 2 3 4 5 6
7
QB
WB
FB
HB
Remember that in 2 6 the HB WB are on the
same side.
16
17 FORMATION
The last formation is the 17 FORMATION Very
simply we are placing both RBs in the WB
position.

Some examples of what we have learned already...
This is a ROGER 1 because the SE is to the Right
and the WB is opposite the HB next to the 1
man.

This is a LEO 2 because the SE is to the Left and
the WB is on the same side as the HB next to

Now - Lets look at the Misdirection plays
33
RULES for MISDIRECTION
READ the FOLLOWING STATEMENT
Each of the misdirection plays requires the
offense to identify the HOLEMAN (the man to be
trapped). Once the holeman is identified only the
pulling lineman can trap that man.
REMEMBER THIS AS WELL !!!

READ the FOLLOWING STATEMENT
These are the BASE WING T PLAYS. There are only
six. You must learn them and understand them
before you can add to your offense.
AND REMEMBER THIS TOO
A good offense is determined not by how many
plays you have but how well you run them
38
DID YOU NOTICE.
That BELLY COUNTER look alike And QUICK and
SWEEP look alike THEY ARE PART OF A SERIES OF
PLAYS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO LOOK ALIKE.

PASSING PLAYS

Play Action Passes
Dropback Passes
Delay Passes
We have three different types of passes in our
base offense. Lets look at play action first.
40
PLAY ACTION PASSING
Play Action Passes are designed to fool the
defense by making it look like we are running
the ball.
There are two play action passes we use in our
offense BELLY PASS WAGGLE PASS

plays you have but how well you run them

You now have a basic understanding of our
offense.
One Final Thought
51
Although understanding the Xs Os of
football is important we feel that success lies
in execution, hustle, attitude, toughness,
unity, discipline, unselfishness.
These are the qualities that are the building
blocks of our program
