THE TRINITY OFFENSE
The THS Offense is built on three basic principles:
MOVING THE CHAINS
MULTIPLICITY
•Attack with multiple personnel
groups, formations, and movement.
•Gain leverage, create good
matchups and blocking angles.
•Make full use of all skilled players,
showcase what they do best!
•Control and dictate game tempo by
sustaining first down after first down
with consistent, relentless play.
•Use a complete “toolbox” that allows
us to capitalize on any defensive
weakness and play “downhill” with
high-percentage plays
•Understand each situation and play
smarter than our opponent.
RELENTLESS ATTACK!
•Expect to score each time we take possession of the ball!
•Dictate to the defense, make them uncomfortable!
•Use all parts of the field, sideline to sideline, short and deep. Make use of a complete
arsenal that includes Power, Misdirection, Perimeter runs, Screens, Play Action, and Tricks.

THE
UNCONQUERABLE
SOUL
- a poem about mental toughness & trinity footballOut of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from Pole to Pole,
I thank My God for the Strength in me,
For my Unconquerable Soul.
In the fell clutch of Circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the Bludgeonings of Chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the Captain of my Soul.

The Huddle:
“A brief, efficient business meeting”
•How we conduct and break the huddle sets the tone for how we will play
once the ball is snapped…it must be disciplined, focused, and unified!
•The Center sets the location of the huddle, then calls the business
meeting to order by giving the down and distance situation.
•Sprint to it and out of it! Create TEMPO!
•Once the quarterback enters the huddle, he assumes COMPLETE
control of the business meeting. NO ONE else talks!

The Huddle:
“A brief, efficient business meeting”
1. Center sets the huddle, calls down and distance .
2. Substitutions sent from sideline, incoming subs call out personnel group or name of person being
subbed for. Replaced player exits ONLY when he sees his replacement approach the huddle!
3. Quarterback enters and takes control of the huddle, saying “eyes up.”
All ten men make eye contact with the Quarterback!
11! 11!
4. Quarterback calls formation, motion, and play .
5. QB does NOT give a cadence; it is
Z Y F H X
Standing, shoulder to shoulder, hands behind back.
understood to be on “SET HIT”
unless he calls “False.”

Huddle Tempo
•We have two types of huddle tempo, and also two kinds of no-huddle
tempo! Each do a particular job in certain situations in a game!
•Our HUDDLE tempos are “Normal Huddle,” and “Four Minute Huddle”
–Normal Huddle: Designed to keep us in normal game rhythm. We generally should
be out of the huddle by :15 on the play clock. Brisk, business-like pace.
–Four Minute Huddle: Designed to protect a lead and run clock. Emphasis on staying
in bounds, protecting the ball, making first downs, no penalties! We will be out of the
huddle on normal time, but the QB will slow the pace of getting set, starting the
cadence with approximately :07 on the play clock!
•Our NO HUDDLE tempos are “On the Line” and “Speed.”
–On the Line: All calls are made on the L.O.S., but we’re not in a hurry. We can take
our time and manipulate defenses with the threat of running a play at any time.
Receivers move in to hear the play, then move out to their positions.
–Speed: Used to speed up the game and conserve time. All calls at the L.O.S., NO
dummy calls, NO motion! We can huddle if the clock is stopped if we choose.

From the Huddle to the Line:
“The Six Second Rule”
•The most important six seconds of a football play happen BETWEEN the
huddle and the line of scrimmage…how you prepare yourself during this
time will determine the success of the play!
•“The Six Second Rule” is a simple mental routine that each position has
that allows them to do their thinking before the play so that they can be
prepared, confident, and aggressive once the play begins, and be ready
for anything that might happen!
•The actual routine varies by position, but its basic elements are:
–WHAT IS MY JOB (or basic assignment) on this play?
–What, if anything, should I do with my ALIGNMENT to help me do this job?
–What is the DEFENSE’s basic alignment?
–Based on the defense I see, what will my FIRST 2-3 STEPS off the ball be?
–What ADJUSTMENTS might I have to make, based on the defense, to get my job done?

The Cadence: Basic Information
•The cadence is a critical way for us to gain an edge! The team that gets off the
ball usually wins each play!
•Basic formula: Number/Number, Number/Number, “Set,” “Hit!”
–Example: “1-22, 4-66…1-22, 4-66…Set, HIT!”
–QB must call each set of numbers clearly to both sides!
–There will be a slight pause between ‘Set’ and ‘Hit’…offensive linemen and backs
must anticipate “HIT” right after set, and get off the ball on the H sound in “Hit!”
–Receivers always move only when they see the ball move!
•We can change or check to plays using a live number in the first digit
–In the above example (“1-22, 4-66”), if “1” were our live digit that week, the play
would be changed to “22”…if “4” were our live digit, the play would be changed to
“66.” If neither were live, then we have made a “dummy” call and the play is
unchanged.

The Cadence: Types
•Basic cadence:
*Unless we use a “False” cadence (see below), our plays will always be run on “Set Hit!” The
quarterback may use the number call prior to the “Set Hit” either as a dummy call or to change
the play, or he may go without the numbers and simply go on “Set Hit.” These two possibilities
would sound like this:
–Without number calls:
–With number calls (live or “dummy”)
“Set, Hit”
“2-17, 4-64 - 2-17, 4-64 - Set, Hit”
•“False” cadence:
–No play called in the huddle - just the formation and “False”
–We DO intend to run a play, but only after trying to draw the defense offside first!
–QB goes through normal cadence sequence with two “Hit” calls, then starts the cadence over
–QB will then go through a normal cadence sequence, using a live number to call the play.
–Ball is snapped on the first “HIT” of the second cadence!
–Example (Assume “3” is the live number of the week)
“1-65, 4-40 - 1-65, 4-40, Set HIT! HIT!…
“6-21, 3-74 - 6-21, 3-74, Set HIT!”
**Ball is snapped, “74” is run!

Gap Identification
Most all defenses base their schemes around the idea that they will defend “gaps,” or potential
holes between offensive linemen. Those “gaps” are labeled using letters, beginning with “A” and
working out in the following fashion:

Defensive Front “Techniques”
When identifying the location of players in the defensive front, we describe them in terms of the
“technique” they’re playing. Understanding these different locations, or “techniques” is critical to
us for a number of reasons:
*It provides a very strong clue as to what gap a man is responsible for, as well as the defenders around him
*It determines for linemen, in many cases, what their first two steps will be and how they’ll go about doing their job
*Often, it determines which way we’ll “check” a play to insure the best chances of success!
“6” “4” “2” “0” “2” “4” “6”
*Special note: Defenders aligned in a
linebacker position have a “0” added as
a second digit to their technique. For
example, a linebacker aligned 4-5 yds
deep over a guard would be called a
“20” technique, or a “Deep 2”

Defensive “Cores”
The next step in identifying defenses is to classify the front structure in terms of its “core.” The
“core” refers to the how defenders are aligned within the “A” and “B” gaps. There are only four
basic cores, as identified by the Center at the line of scrimmage, and they provide a great deal of
information as to how the rest of the defense is being played around it and how we want to block!
The cores are named and identified as follows:
V
V
V
V
V
V
V
-Center has a down lineman
on him (0 or Shade)
-Either one or both of the
guards does NOT have a
down lineman on him.
-Center has a down lineman
on him (0 or Shade)
-Both Guards also have a
down lineman over them
(usually 2 or 3 tech).

Core is “Odd”

COMMUNICATING MOTION
The way we do this is to simply say WHO we want to go in motion
(H, Y, F, X, or Z)
and WHERE on the field we want him to end up.
The “spots” on the field we can send motion men are numbered IN
CONJUNCTION WITH OUR HOLE NUMBERS as follows:

For example, if the phrase “H4” is added on to the end of a formation, we are
literally saying,
“H, line up as the formation calls, then go in motion to the 4 spot.”

*Technique note: On most motion, the motion man should use a “shuffle” technique
as he completes his course. In other words, as he gets to the final 2-3 steps prior to
reaching his “spot,” he squares his shoulders to the line of scrimmage and shuffles,
allowing him to attack defenders more effectively and maintain the timing of plays.
