Run N Shoot Offense 2016

CRITICAL SITUATIONS – OFFENSE

1. SUDDEN CHANGE – Quick turnover of ball
 Great field position

 Must score for big psychological advantage – go deep - deceptive
 Everyone must arise to occasion
2. HURRY-HURRY – last 2 minutes of half or game
 Poise
 Hustle and be ready quick
 Proper use of time outs
 Who will make the big play
 Get out-of-bounds to stop the clock (also get the 1st down)
3. COMING OUT – ball inside own 10 yard line
 Must get a first down

 Gut situation for everyone
 Failure means poor field position for the defense (4 down area)
 Outstanding players show up in this area
 Except for turnovers – more scores are gotten in this area than any other
 No mistakes in this area
4. GOING IN – ball inside 10 yard line
 Must get a score (TD 1st, FG 2nd)

 No mistakes in this area (error free)
 Gut situation for both teams – who has the stronger intestinal fortitude
 Must control the line and backs must break tackles
 The toughest yard is always at the end but the best always comes through
5. USE OF TIME OUTS – Offense
 Can call time out any time a delay will dramatically effect field position
 Otherwise – always look to the bench

TWO MINUTE COACHING CONSIDERATIONS

Things to practice in Two Minute Offense:
1. Coordinating the offense with the FG team to set up for a kick when there are no
more time outs and the clock is running.
2. Aligning the victory offense to kill the clock
3. Understanding that taking a safety is only feasible when there is eminent

possibility that a kick will be blocked. Knowing that a safety represents a
potential loss of 2-5 points, whereas a blocked kick constitutes a 6-8 point lose.
4. When on the hash, run formation into the boundary. The HB must sprint to the
sideline, then up the field to get as much yardage as he can before getting out of
bounds.
5. All receivers, when close to the sideline, must concentrate on making the catch
while keeping one foot in bounds.
TWO MINUTE OFFENSE (CLOCK OFFENSE)

Theory of Two Minute Offense
The mechanics of Two Minute Offense should be organized with the basic thought being:
the play called and the time remaining is more important than a time out. It is also
important that the following concepts be strictly adhered to:
1. The offense has four downs to make a first.
2. The QB should never go down with the ball in your hand on 4th down. Never give
up your last chance to win.
3. When a call for a time out is eminent, always know where the nearest official is
going to be in order to get the time out called as quickly as possible. Any official
can call time out.
4. When a measurement is in progress, someone other than the QB should

supervise. He should be in the huddle talking to the team.
5. Never use up a time out to correct a confused play from the sideline. The QB must
know the offense so well that he can correct it or call a new play.
6. When the clock is stopped and it will remain stopped, huddle up.
The QB must understand and execute the following necessities of a two minute offense:
1. Meet with the head coach to determine whether a TD, FG or try for TD then settle
for the FG is the objective.
2. Verification of the correct number of time outs – check with referee
3. Notify the team in the huddle that we are in two minute offensive mode.
4. Notify the team of the scoring objective, number of time outs, and the amount of
time remaining.
5. Know how many plays can be run in the time available, usually a rule of thumb is:
15 seconds (or fraction thereof) as a time interval per play. Figure out four plays
per minute. Add one extra play per time out excluding the last one. Save the last
one (whenever possible) for the FG team to be in positioned on the field. From
this information, determine what you need to average per play to accomplish your
objective.
6. In the huddle, remind all ball carriers to get out of bounds, all offensive personnel
to hustle to the LOS and listen for special calls and signals.
7. When behind, request a measurement when the ball is close.
8. When play is stopped and you do not intend to huddle or rehuddle, always have
your team at the LOS so you are ready to go when the referee starts the clock.
9. Finally, NEVER take a sack if a TD is needed; whenever possible; throw the ball
in the endzone.
Things the QB must know that will be critical to the administration of the game:
When will the clock stop:
1. When a time out is called.

2. When an incomplete pass is thrown.
3. When the ball goes out of bounds.
4. When crowed noise forces a time out.
5. When the referee takes a discretionary time out.
When will the clock start:
1. Immediately after a penalty has been assessed on a live ball foul.

2. Immediately after the chains have been set on a live ball first down.
3. Immediately after an injury has been sufficiently attended to.
4. Immediately after a measurement
5. Immediately after a referee’s discretionary time out is used up.
When to take a time out:
1. To get the FG team on the field.

2. When there is five seconds or less on the clock and you have one left (provided
we need a TD to win or a FG and we are in range).
3. If there is a crucial situation that requires a coach’s decision.
4. When a TD is the objective and you need to conserve time, not time outs. The
following is a pretty good general rule of thumb: the first one at the first opportunity
inside 60 seconds, and the third one at the first opportunity inside 30 seconds
(provided you have three time outs).
5. After a sack.
6. When you are faced with any fourth down situation, and you have only one time
out left.
When to throw the intentional incomplete pass:
1. When it is first, second, or third down and the incomplete pass play allows you to
run another play when a completely executed play is probably only going to allow
you to run one (i.e., :10 seconds left on the clock).
2. When you are out of time outs and the intentional incomplete pass will allow an
additional play if initiated with :15 seconds on a stopped clock or :25 seconds on
a running clock.
PLAY MENU

The play menu will be delivered in the same sequence each time. This menu will
consist of the following:
 Formation
 Motion if needed
 Protection
 Play
 Cadence
Pass Example
“Yellow Rip 771 on Second Sound, on Second Sound”
Run Example
“Purple 32 Zone, on one, on one”

CADENCE

We have the ability to snap the ball in six deferent ways
1. On the First Sound

“ HUT….”
2. On Second Sound
“Set….HUT”
3. On One
“Blue 24, Blue 24, Set….HUT”
4. On Two
“Black 5, Black 5, Set….HUT….HUT”
5. Silent Count – Shot Gun

After everyone is set, the quarterback will give the center a signal that he is ready
to receive the ball, intern the center will bob his head up and then snap the ball.
We will primarily snap the ball on one bob or two bob’s from the center. We
could go on three bob’s, but not often.
6. “Freeze”
The quarterback will go through his cadence using voice flexion to try and draw
the defense offsides. The center will snap the ball if he sees someone cross into
the neutral zone. If they do not jump, the quarterback will give a live color and
the new play.
When the defense jumps offsides the center snaps the ball, the quarterback will
either take a knee or throw the fade route to one of our outside receivers if we
have that play on.
The freeze count will also be used in these situation:

A. No Play – Time Out
B. No play – Delay of game
The use of Colors in the Snap Count
There will be certain colors designated as live audibles, any different color will naturally
be dummy audibles.
The quarterback also has the ability to break the cadence when a pre-snap read shows
a blitz on a pass play or a blitz or dog shows to a side of a run which is called in the
huddle. The quarterback will use the word “CHECK” as an alert.
EXAMPLE:
3 on 1 was called in the huddle, and the quarterback begins his cadence “Blue 44” and
then notices a blitz coming by the strong safety. The quarterback will then say
“Check….Black 6….Black 6….Set….Hut.” The play was changed from 3 to 6, black
being the live color.
“Blue 44….Check….Black 6….Black 6….Set….Hut.”

Clock play

I. When the QB needs to kill the clock, the call is “Kill”, “Kill”, “Kill”. On the kill call
all linemen must hurry to the L.O.S., get set quickly (Tighter Splits), and post
inside (wedge) on the snap. When Receivers see the clock signal, they must
hurry back to the L.O.S. and get set quickly to the nearest spot on the L.O.S. (All
most be on the L.O.S.) Receivers will not move until play has been whistled
dead. The Superbacks will get back to the L.O.S. if in a route or set quickly
anywhere behind the L.O.S. if in protection and not move until play is whistled
dead.
II. Quarterback mechanics on clock call:

After getting the clock signal from the sideline, the QB will begin communicating
“Kill”, “Kill”, and signal with is arm. He will then approach the center making sure
everyone is set by looking left then right. QB will then tap center’s hip then call
“Hut” for the snap. After the snap the QB will take two quick steps back and
throw the ball in front of his front foot and behind the center, away from the
linemen’s feet

MOTION CALLS: The following motion calls may be made to allow greater flexability and speed in
calling plays. The calls apply to the POSITION no matter where the man is lined up in the formation.
All motions going to the Right begin with R. All motions going to the Left begin with L. Both motion
calls with an I in the middle (Hit, Sail) is a motion in to the formation and then back out to your original

FORMING THE HUDDLE:
1. The linemen will line up on the center 5 yards from the L.O.S. with their backs facing the L.O.S.
2. The X, A, SB, Y & Z will line up in front of the linemen with hands on knees and heads up.
HUDDLE PROCEDURE BY QUARTERBACK:
The quarteback will step into the huddle and make the call "Eyes" "Eyes". This call is to get the attention of
everyone in the huddle. There should be no talking in the huddle other than the quartrback after the
"Eyes" call is made. The quarterback will then give the formation, motion if any, play and snap count
twice. The quarterback will then say "ready - break" to break the huddle. Everyone will then respond
with a clap of the hands and saying "break" as the quarterback does and then sprint to the L.O.S. If
anyone makes a "Check" call in the huddle because they did not hear or understand the play, the
quarteback will call the play again before breaking the huddle.
* Perfect plays start with a perfect huddle!!!!!

PASS BLOCKING PHILOSOPHY
Block the first six defenders to show leaving the 7th rusher free... We will start with Man Blocking
Principles (Rule) which protects for the Quarterback moving to his launch point. We will use a numbering
system utilizing an inside-out design. We prefer to block our big people on their big people. All uncovered
blocker can get off quickly to the backside if the defense brings outside the tackle rushers.
The emphasis is an aggressive on the line "Stiff" or stalemate by the frontside a "Step and Spill" by the
backside.
We will always protect to the onside gap in head and shoulder relationship to the defender we are
assigned.
The closer we are to the launch point "around the playside B gap area" the more that we step to the
position ourselves on the defenders playside middle. The father we are from the launch point, the more we
step to the position ourselves on the defenders playside number. When we obtain this necessary
positioning, we will refer to this as gaining leverage.
We would like our backside tackle to establish an inside-out. foot to crotch relationship to the defender....
If your defender is aligned slightly to your backside, you can set directly to his playside number.
Obviously the closer you are to the launch point, the more playside leverage point is desired.
For the frontside tackle with a wide aliigned rusher we prefer a head-up relationship.
We want to establish playside leverage on each rusher. If 2 adjacent blockers are stepping towards a
rusher, the blocker who has leverage will take over and the other blocker is free to be the Free Man Out
and protect immediately to the backside. We do not want a two on one blocking combination until our
frre man out checked the backside #7.
You will only pass off your man only when you feel the bump of your adjacent blocker and the second
rusher crosses your face. We have established a cross your face rule: If an angling or slanting defender
passes your face you must lock on, for he is your block when you have established leverage.
DEFENSIVE NUMBERING SYSTEM
General Rules:
1. Number begins and proceeds out.
2. All defenders aligned over the Center is #0
3. In all stack alignments we will count the down defender 1st and the stacked Linebacker as the #2 man.
BLOCKING RULES
We are blocking man on man when ever possible. As mentioned, we count from the inside-out in an an
attempt to block our big men on their big men. Our Superback always accommodates the call given up front
and adjusts accordingly... It is imperative that any uncovered blocker protect to the backside after checking
intial responsibility. The Superback will scan frontside to backside when his responsibility does not rush
based on his indicator.
Center Block #0
Frontside Guard Block #1
Frontside Tackle Block #2
Superback Block #3
Backside Guard Block #1

Backside Tackle Block #2
Always block your responsibility unless:

1. You receive another blocking call by the Center
2. Cross your face rule (an angling, slanting or dogging adjacent defender crosses your face).

FREE MAN OUT (FMO):
Vs. 3-2/3-4 defense the guards have the greatest potential to be free man out to the backside if their primary
responsibility (#1) does not rush and the adjacent defender to the playside does not angle across your face. The
FSG sinks to a depth of 12" behind the inside leg of the FST giving the FST 2 Step Assurance.
.
Vs. the 4-1/4-3 defense the center has the greatest potential to be the free man out under the same set of
circumstances. The center sinks to a depth of 12" behind the inside leg of the FSG giving the FSG 2 Step
Assurance. The uncovered center will make a "Sink" call to alert the guards he has the greatest FMO potential.
.
Free man out potential may be limited by a tight angle slant by the adjacent corresponding rusher. Give help
to your playside gap always, but remember, no two on one blocking. Get off of him and get backside if
your adjacent lineman has established leverage on the tight angle slant and your responsibility has not
looped across his face.
. .
If the adjacent corresponding rusher does slant across your face and you do establish leverage, then your
adjacent blocker becomes the free man out if no other rusher would cross his face.
. .
Vs. over/under fronts the center will make an "L/R" Call followed by the number of the LB the stack is
working to. If the LB does not rush the backside lineman becomes the potential FMO. The technique of the
backside lineman is to powerstep, punch, and pivot to put his body in the best position to dule read the
LB's.
"L" . "R" .
"HIP"/"RAIDER"/"EMPTY"/ Call
The Backside Guard and Backside Tackle are assigned to block the 1st two potential rushers that show
on the backside. It is always best to sink to your sink point, not toward your responsibility unless he is
aligned as an inside technique. We prefer that the BSG/BST lose ground and gain direction toward the
launch point.
Block the first 2 rushers off the backside. With 3 potential rushers we must block the first 2 rushers who
show first and we correspondingly leave the 3rd free if all 3 rush.
. . .
To correctly execute the responsibilty, the Backside Tackle must make a "HIP" or "RAIDER" Call based on
the alignment of the LB.
A "HIP" Call is made any time ther is only 1 man aligned on the LOS head-up to outside alignment of the
Backside Tackle.
. "HIP"
Obviously, the wider a LB aligns, the less of a threat hie is to dog or blitz from the corner. However,we must
always be alert for any unexpected blitz off the backside corner. Essentially "HIP" means the threat of the
defender coming off the backside is not as great.
It is important that the Backside Tackle realize the tighter the LB aligns the more of a threat he could be to his
playside gap. A deep set is a priority in the case to handle a B Gap potential blitz.... The FMO would
obviously pick up the free rusher from the backside.
. "HIP"
A "RAIDER" Call is made when there are 2 men aligned on the LOS head up to outside the Backside
Tackle.
.
We will assume that the end man on the LOS will rush most of the time. Therefore, the FMO can pick up
the "RAIDER LB" off the corner if his primary responsibility does not rush.
.
In any event the "HIP/RAIDER" Call is an important pre-snap call to alert the playside of the potential
rush off the backside. If the defense selects to only bring 5, we can effectively get a free man out to pick
up the backside.
.
An "EMPTY" Call is made when there are only 2 potential rushers on the backside.
. .
The BSG and BST are still accountable for the 2 potential rushers if both rush. Since we have 2 blockers to
the defenses 2 rushers, the need for a Free Man Out is negated. Our Center, FSG, and FST can now stay
frontside without the urgency of Free Man Out rule in their thinking.
. .
"BASE" CALL
An onside or playside call whenever the Frontside Guard covered with only 3 potential rushers
strong. The FSG still has #1, but the Superback will now be responsible for #2. Obviously the
FST blocks #3. Center still has #0, if no #0 "Snake" to the backside or become the FMO.

"SNAKE" CALL
If the defense is an even structure and there is no #0, the Center, BSG, and BST will block a
backside gap asignment. This call is made by the Center to the BSG and BST.

If the #2 defender walks up into the B Gap, The Center would make the "SNAKE" Call. The Center
and BSG must now side to their backside gap and block the stunt as it falls.
C B A
.
The BSG becomes the FMO if the #2 does not rush. He can effectively pick up any 4th rusher off the backside.
The "HIP"/"RAIDER" Call is obviously an important call potential rush off the backside.
.
The Center is accountable for the 1st potential rusher (A Gap) or any defender that crosses his face.
The BSG is accountable for the 2nd potential rusher (B Gap) or any rusher that crosses his face.
The BST is acountable for the 3rd potential rusher (C Gap) or any rusher that crosses his face.
If the BSLB #2 rushes, the 3 protectors will block the 3 rushers as the appear.
"RENO"/"LOBO" CALL
When facing a 4 - 1 defense, if the FSG is covered and the #0 LB is threatening the FS "B" Gap, the Center
will make a "Reno"/"Lobo" Call. This is essentially a 2 man slide (Center & Guard) playside to handle the
pressure. If the LB does not rush, the Center is always the potential FMO depending on the call of the BST.
0 0
"Reno"
. "Reno-FMO"
.
"RAVEN" BLOCKING
This is a call made to alert all linemen to block to the playside to handle the stunt/blitz of 4 defender
overload aligned from head up the center to the playside. A "DOG" look can identify the
"RAVEN" call possibility.
The playside should add one to their rule:

The Backside Tackle should block down on a "RAVEN" call if the BSG is covered with an "A" Gap
walk-up.
.
If the BST is left with a 2 on 1 blocking situation, it is important to sink deep enough to position himself
to block the innermost rusher.

with a #4 blitzer coming of the playside. The Superback must make the adjustment buy having a
double read with checking #1 and block #4 vs. this look if he blitzes.The FSG uses the Fan technique

your land mark you will hook up away from the defender and find the open window back to the
Quarterback. In man coverage, when you get to your land mark you will break and run away from the
defender.
