Description of
Play
Flanker
Counter Reverse
The 2-back leaves 1/2 a count early
and blocks through the 3 hole. The QB fakes to the 3-back
and then he continues through the 3 hole. The QB then
immediatly hands it off to the flanker, who left a count
early to get there on time. The flanker then runs accross
the back field and then cuts up the field. Blocking is to
the inside for the RG, RT and LG, and to the outside for the
LT. This play is dependant on the fake to the 3-back, as "a
good fake will often replace the need for a good
block".
Power
33
The 2-back leaves 1/2 a count early
and blocks through the 3 hole. The QB hands the ball to the
3-back who then charges through the 3 hole. The wide outs
block up field and the linemen block away from the 3-hole.
Slots should take a linebacker.
Wide
Out/Slot Cross
In this play, both Wide Outs
go 5 yards and then do a post, and the Slot Back and Tight
End do 5 yard down and outs. The linemen to pass blocking
and the 2 and 3-backs help out with the blocking as well.
Look for the out as defensive backs may forget to switch,
and leave this open. As well, there will likely be added
coverage in the centre from the linebackers.
Fade/Seam
Pass
In this play, both Wide Outs
go 5 yards and then do a fade pattern, which is a curved
fly, and the Slot Back and Tight End do straight seams. The
linemen to pass blocking and the 2 and 3-backs help out with
the blocking as well. Look for the fade if possible,
otherwise go to the seam.
