B Back
One Yard from QB
(Fullback)
2 point stance straddle
the TE’s Hip – 1 yard back
2 point stance straddle
the TE’s Hip – 1 yard back
We always line up in this formation unless we call another formation in the huddle.

How We Call Plays
 First Word = Formation
 Second Word = Motion
 Third Word = 2 Digits
 First Digit tells the B Back where to go
 Second Digit tells who the “AT” man is – where the ball is going
 Fourth Word = tells you the blocking rules
 EXAMPLE
Tight – Rip -- 88 -- Super Power
Formation Motion B Back
goes to 8
The Ball is
going to 8
Tells you your blocking rules
The man furthest from the “AT” man carries the ball.

The Snap Count
 In order for us to keep the defense off balance we will use the
following varying snap count.
Black 85! -- Black 85! – GO! – Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy – Hut
 If the QB calls the play and says “ON Black” then you go on the second
“Black Word”
 If the QB calls the play and says“ON GO” then go on GO!
 The Motion Man goes in motion on Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
 To keep ourselves from jumping off sides and to keep the defense off
balance we always:
 run all B back (fullback) plays – Wedge, 4X, 5X, 6G, 7G on Black!
 All Pass plays on GO!
 run all other plays on Hut
 We can also change the play at the line of scrimmage if the QB;
 calls a color other than Black – like “RED” & then calls the play
 EXAMPLE: “RED 6G!” --- “RED 6G!” – THAT MEANS THE
PLAY IS NOW 6G

Offensive Line Blocking Rules
 General Rule – If the play is coming to the “AT” Man on your side then your blocking rule is:
 GAP – ON - READ UP
 This means that you block down to the GAP AWAY from the play first.
 If no one is there then block the man on you
 If no one is there then block the first linebacker strait ahead or inside.
 FOR EXAMPLE: Tight RIP 88 Super Power – GAP – ON – READ UP
Read Up
Gap
“AT MAN”
On

QB


THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS TO THIS RULE – THEY ARE;
If you are a Guard and you hear the words “G,”O”, “2” or “3” this means you are pulling.
If you Hear the word “REACH” then you block the GAP toward the “AT Man or the side of the play
On 4X and 5X - X means that the Tackle and the Guard are executing a cross block – Tackle goes first.

Offensive Line Blocking Rules
“On” or “OFF” call
 “ON” and “OFF” calls for Tight Ends, A and C Backs




Tight Ends are required to make an “ON” or OFF call on every play.
The ON or OFF call tells the A or C back which man to block
Lets break the blocking rule down in steps;
Step I
 The Tight End will come to the Line and apply his blocking rule GAP-ON-READUP
 Step II
 If the Tight End has someone in his GAP and NO ONE ON HIM – he calls “OFF”
 “OFF” tells the A or C Back to Read UP to the inside Linebacker
 Step III
 If the Tight End has a MAN ON him then he calls “ON”
 “ON” tells the A or C back to Double Team with him.
 Both Tight Ends are required to make this call even if the play is not coming to
your side. We do this to fool the defense.
Copyright Michael F Santiago 2004

Stallions
Offensive Line Blocking Rules - Center
 On every play the Center will bock – MAN ON - MAN AWAY
 There is only ONE exception to this rule and it is when we face an Eagle or 7 Man GAP front
or when the Center must fill for a Pulling Guard and he is covered.
 Lets break the blocking rule down in steps:
 Step I
 The Center comes to the LOS and looks at the front
 If he sees a MAN ON him and a MAN ON THE BACKSIDE GUARD and the play
dictates that the Guard is going to pull, he CALLS “GAP IT”
 “GAP IT” – Tells the Guard Tackle and the Tight End to BLOCK DOWN
 Once the “GAP IT” call is made then the Guard, Tackle and Tight End call it too. This
tells everyone that they are blocking down.
 FOR EXAMPLE: Tight RIP 88 Super Power – Against a 7 Man Front
“GAP IT!”
