Coach Calandes GOOD/GOD Blocking and the Balanced Single Wing

The System begins with the 10 GAP numbering system. The snapper is assigned 2 numbers, 1

and O. One is the left foot, and Zero is the right foot. The right side of the line is assigned

even numbers, and the left side assigned odd. The aiming point is the outside leg of the player

(except snapper because both of his legs are tagged). Notice there is no #6 to the right side.

This is reserved for tackle over alignment in which case the #7 will align where the #5 is andthe left tackle becomes the #6 on the right side.

10 gaps-odd to the left, even to the right

All assignments and rules remain the same whether balanced or unbalanced. Only the tackle

obtains a new number in unbalanced formations. This gives us better ability to get a bigger

body on a defensive end.

The defenders will align and will be labeled using standard technique.

Def ensive Fr ont Techniques

0 Technique - Head up on the Center

0 Cheat or Shade - Aligned on one of Cs shoulders

1 Technique - Inside shoulder of Guard

2 Technique - Head up on a Guard

3 Technique - Outside shoulder of a Guard

4i Technique - Inside shoulder of Tackle

4 Technique - Head up on a Tackle

5 Technique - Outside shoulder of tackle

7 Technique - Inside shoulder of Tight End

6 Technique - Head up on a Tight End

9 Technique - Outside shoulder of a Tight End

8 Technique - Head up on a Wing player

When identifying the location of players in the defensive front, we describe them in terms of thetechnique theyre playing. Understanding these different locations, or techniques is critical tous for a number of reasons:*It provides a very stron g clue as to wh at 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 theyll go about doing their job*Often, it determines which way well check a play to insure the best chances of success!

*Special note: Defenders aligned in a

linebacker position have a 0 added as

The Defensive gaps are labeled A-E beginning from the snapper and working out.

Gap Ident if ica t ion

A GAP - Between Center and GuardB GAP - Between Guard and Tackle

C GAP - Between Tackle and Tight End

D GAP - Between Tight End and Wing

E GAP - Outside the Wing

Most all defenses base their schemes around the idea that they will defend gaps, or potentialholes between offensive linemen. Those gaps are labeled using letters, beginning with A andworking out in the following fashion:

A AB BC C

D DE E

The GOOD/GOD system applies to all Power, Counter and Traps. The hole tagged, reveals what

defender will be kicked out or trapped.

0/1 holes- kick out first defender past the A gap

2/3 holes- kick out the first defender past the B gap

4/5 holes- kick out the first defender past the C gap

8/7 holes- kick out the first defender past the D gap

The player who will be kicking out the defender depends on the blocking tag.

Power- Blocking back- #3 will kick out

Trap- Backside guard #3 lineman (even trap)

Counter-#2 guard will kickout out first defender beyond gap called. (odd

trap)

The play call will be built using a five column model.


4/23

An example would be WAR 145 Counter Swap. War is the formation, and the snapper wil

hand to the 1 back who will carry to and handoff to the 4 who will run to the outside leg of #5

lineman. The play will be blocked using counter scheme but the #3 back will swap duties wit

the backside guard. With this system the playcaller can pinpoint which defender he wishes to

attack and how he wishes to attac;, double team, trap or even sucker trap.

Applying the rules of the Calande GOOD/GOD system to the single wing.

RULE 1.If we run at you, YOU must be GOOD.

The playcall will indicate by the last number which linemans leg we will be

running at. 14 Power, 12 power. Each example the 1 back will receive the snap

and run to the outside leg of the appropriate linemans leg.

GOOD is an acronym for the At mans progression

Inside Gap= G On= O Outside= O

6/23

defenders face. Is the defender aligned

is such a way to threaten your inside

gap?

Man ON Defender who is on the line o

scrimmage (or within 2 yards) AND the

defenders helmet is between the

linemans feet.DOWN When the defender is ON your inside

neighbor

Covered A man ON or in his outside gap

RULE 3: The snapper will be included on the playside and his rule will always be MOMA

MOMA is an acronym for the snappers blocking progression

Man ON= MO Man Away (outside gap) = MA

If the snapper has a defender both ON and Away he will make a Domino call

(discussed inter)

RULE 4: The Defender directly outside of the AT man is the KingPIN

The Kingpin wants to seal the defense inside. If the GOOD buddy has posted his

defender then the kingpin forms the outside of the running double team. His rule

is GAP, Down, Backer. He will stay on the double team until the backer threatens

the hole vertically. If the At man is not covered then the Kingpin will have aBacker rule and will release directly to the second level linebacker inside the At

man.

RULE 5: THE FBI Always follows the KINGPIN

FBI is an acronym for first backer inside. Inside means inside the FBI blocker. The

AT man and or the Kingpin will be working the fist backer inside the At Man.

1. If we run at you, you must be GOOD. Your job is to post block a man on or in your outsidegap.

2. Anyone GOOD has GOD inside them.3. AT Men always have a KINGPIN (blocks GDB) pinning the defender inside4. The FBI Always follows the KINGPIN5. We are kicking out the 1stman pas the at Mans outside gap6. Backside Guard and Tackle always pull on power, counter and trap7. Backside Tightend must cut off B to C on power, counter and trap


7/23

8. The backside guard kicks on counter or trap9. The blocking back kicks on power10.We only use GOOD/GOD on power, counter and trap.

Here are some examples of the GOOD/GOD system to attack the 3, 6 and 7 technique to

eliminate doubt and frustration. The defense is aligned in a 40 front and the defensive end

changes his alignment and assignment to various shades from D gap to C gap.

To kick him out call your 2 hole trap and power. The kickout blocker will kick out the first

defender outside of the AT mans outside gap. (Red player). The AT man( #2) and his Gosh

Darn Buddy (GDB) (#4) will double the defender on the AT man. The AT man posting up, and

the GDB forming the outside of the double team. The #6 will work up to the 1st

backer inside

(FBI).

If you want to double team the defender, call 4 hole power and trap. Now the At man is #4

and #8 his Gosh Darn Buddy (GDB) form the double team. In the single wing the wing back

becomes the FBI onto the linebacker. Alternating between the #2 and the #4 should frustrate

the C/D gapper.


8/23

Perhaps that defender also lined up on the inside 1/3 of the tight end (#8) as a "7" technique.

He may move

alignment to a "6"technique or a "6i" or

even a shade on the

outside. (Somewhere

ON the tight end). We

can double team him by

calling power to the

#8. The wing will step

onto the line and

become the Gosh Darn Buddy (GDB) and form the outside of the double team. Further, we are

getting a double team on the 1, 2 or or 3 technique defensive tackle resulting in the DOUBLE

DOULBE. Now to take make the defender on the tight end worry about the double team we

tag the 2 hole power or trap with ON . Nothing changes with the tag other than to move the

Wingback onto the line of scrimmage. (this covers up the tight end making him ineligible for a

pass).

To further be able to attack this player we can go to the unbalanced alignment and insert the

left tackle into #6.


9/23

To go back to kicking him out, call the 4 hole again. Now the double team works back to the

defensive tackle and the

defensive end remains

confused as he fights double

teams and traps an entire

game

Now the

Defensive

end is ready

to blow

through the

double team

only to find

no resistance

and he falls

on his face or

he gets

moved out of the hole by the kickout blocker.


10/23

The system allows for the play caller to pick on the defensive tackles just as easy. If you want

to double

team him,

you run

right AT

him. Call

the 2 hole

power or

trap and

the At am

and his

Gosh Darn Buddy will form a double team and the the tight end works to the linebacker (FBI).After he tires of being double teamed on every 2 and 6 hole the playcaller calls a 0 trap. 0 is

the right foot of the snapper. The #2 becomes the Gosh Darn Buddy and the

tackle will be FBI. 30 and 31 are very good single wing plays which hit very quick. With

backfield action and the direct snap to the blocking back, defenses have a difficult time finding

the ball until several yards have been gained.

The GOOD/GOD

system is effective

against the 50 front

as well. A quick look

shows we can

double team the

nose and kick out


11/23

the DT on any 0 or 1 trap. Even if the defensive tackle is widened from outside the guard to

outside the tackle. The offensive tackle has a nice angle to the linebacker for a 31 or 30 trap. If

we want to double team the tackle we run 4 hole play. As long as he is aligned somewhere on

the tacle. Inside, head up, outside, he is going to face the double team.

If he were to align truly in the B gap, not on eitehr ther Guard or the tackle the best way to

double team him is with the 2 hole power. (however, there are other calls in the playbook

that bette fit, ie seam, if the DT aligns directly in the B gap)

Often defenses will bring in the linebackers to create a 7 man line. Nothing changes for the

GOOD/GOD system.

Looking at the shades

shown, we can doublethe nose and

kick out the defensive

guard with a 0 hole trap,

we can double the

defensive guard and kick

the defensive tackle with

a 2 hole power, counter

or trap and we candouble the tackle and

Kick the End with a 4 hole power or counter. Backside is covered unless the tight end cannot

cut the B gapper. IF not he calls HOME and the tackle will not pull. Practice reps will letthe

coach whether the tight end can slow up the 2 and the 4 tecnique.

The final analysis will be to have the snapper call the CORE defensive stucture at the line of

scrimmage. We will identify the core in the following manner:


12/23

The base alignment will be:

1. Snapper over the ball2. Guards, horizontal split is 6 inches, and vertical split is toe to the snapper heal3. Tackles, horizontal split is 6 inches and vertical split is even with guards feet4. Left end will align 4 yards off the left tackle and be on the line in 2 point stance5. Right end, horizontal split is 4 yards from end man on the line and vertical split is

even with tackles feet

6. Tailbackwill be 4-5 yards deep with right foot in line with snapper left foot7. Fullback/QB will be 4-5 yards deep with left foot in line with snapper right foot.8. Blocking back will be 1 yard deep between the left guard and snapper9.

Wingback, horizontal split will be 1 yard from end man on the line and 1 yarddeep in a 2 point stand angled at a 45 degrees.


13/23

The numbering system for the players will be:

1. Left end 72. Left tackle 5,63. Left guard 34. Snapper 105. Right guard 26. Right tackle 47. Right end 88. Wingback 49. Blocking back 310.Fullback 211.Tailback (QB) 1

PLAYS-

1. 14 power. This is astraight power play in

which we want to

outnumber the defenseat the point of attack.

With 14 power the 2 will

be the AT man and post

up his man allowing the

tackle to form the

outside of the double

team. The blocking back

will anticipate the 5

technique being shallow

and taking a flat angle to dig him out. The wing back will have the first linebacker inside

of his alignment. The backside guard has a very short pull and must get into the funnel

quickly looking to dig out the first player outside the hole. The snapper will stop

penetration of the 1 technique. The left end must prevent inside penetration. Key to a

successful power play is vertical movement on the double team and a violent kickout by


14/23

the blocking back. The tailback must catch without false stepping and explode to the

outside leg of the inside tackle. No cutting until he is through the line of scrimmage.

a. Make an under callfor the wing back and he will come under the double teamand lead up through the hole like an isolation play.

b. Make an Edge calland it moves 14 power to 16 power. The wing will crack downon the Defenisve end and the kickout will be outside the C gap. The right end (#8)

will become FBI. The back aims for the outside leg of the power tackle.

c. Make a BULL Call Test to see if 143 counter is open. Run 14 power BULL . The 4back will now fake taking the 143 reverse and the #2 back will be have LB

responsibility

d. Make X CallTellsBackside guard to stay,

Frontside guard to pull,and the inside tackle to

block MOMA.

2. 14 trap. This is a way to kick out the DE. We will get a double team on the defensivetackle and the 4 back will

work up to the linebacker

inside. The #3 back has a

good able leading thoughout to the 2nd outside

defender. If a keybreak is

needed, unlikely, send the

#3 back wrong. Also, this

can be run from double

formation to set up a

weakside pin and pull

sweep.


15/23

3. Buck 214 trap. The #2 backmust catch, set, show, snap

and sell. We are not going to

read the play so the #2 back

must sell the fact we are.

He must make it appear he

has the ball every time there

is a mesh. The 1 will follow

behind the pulling guard.

Vertical push on the double

team is a must. To slow

down the backside

unblocked defensive end/OLB the 2 back should put his eyes on him during the mesh

4. Spinner 24 power. The Spinner can be very deceptive but much care must be taken toteach the mesh and the #2

back steps. This cannot be

rushed and must be perfect.

The installation is described

in the coaching points. The 4

back will go in slow motion at

the motion sound and willaccelerate after the snap to a

spot directly behind the #2

back. The #1 back will bucket

step and raise his left arm and

clamp down as he taking one

more step before taking

sweep path. The mesh should

look like 3 backs in a line. If the Mesh is not perfect the middle linebacker will read the

play and make the tackle. The base formation for spinner will be with the blocking back

in strong formation. The 1 back and the 4 back must carry out the fakes if theya re not

receiving the ball.


16/23

5. Rocket 24 trap. To takeadvantage again of

linebackers too anxious to

protect the edge we will run

rocket 14trap. Rocket is run

from the spread formation

and the 2 back will go in jet

motion and form the mesh

behind the playside guard.

This is a spread to run

formation. Again, the mesh

must be executed perfectly to

make it appear the 2 back has the ball.

6.

24 seam This is a fast hittingisolation play. From the hole

to the outside will block their

inside gap, on and then

outside (GOO). Everyone

inside the hole will block

GOD. The 1 and 4 back will

fake 143 counter. The 2 back

will take the snap and followthe 3 back between the guard

and inside tackle.

7. Laser Larry 20 power TheLarry tag tells the #3 back to

align behind the left guard 1

yard deep. The 2 back must

make a good mesh and not

be in a hurry to get to the

hole. After catching the snap

he will execute his normal

laser rul es and shuffle with

the motion. Taking care to

set, show, snap and sell. We

will not read this so the 2


17/23

back will be shooting through the wide A gap hole created by the cross block action of

the guard and the #3 back.

8. Laser larry 30 trap. Larry tellsthe 3 back to align on the

left cheated closer to thesnapper. He will receive the

snap and count 1 while the

guard pulls shallow to trap

the A gap player. Behind him

the mesh is taking place so

he must take care as not to

stand tall and draw attention

away from the mesh.

9. 18 sweep: The offensive linewill zone block right. The #4

back will perform a slime and

slide on the defensive end on

or outside the power tackle

and work his way to the

linebacker inside. Also, we

will run this as a pin and pull

scheme by adding a Thunder

Call. This tells the playside

guard to pull to the outside

and wrap around the pin

being made by the power

tackle. The #2 back on the

Thunder tag now as A gapresponsibility and will run

through to attact linebacker


18/23

10.Spinner 18 sweepThunder. All blocking

remains the same for the

Thudner tag and the

Spiiner steps for the

1,2,3,4 remain identical.

The #1 back needs to

trust his speed to get to

the edge before looking

for a cut up lane.

11.Rocket 18 Sweep ThunderThe Jet Series allows the 1back to get a full speed

head start to the edge.

The QB is responsible for

selling the mesh and not

slowing down the back.

This play is not being

read,b the 2 back should

eyeball the middlelinebacker to keep him

from running with the jet

motion

12.31 trap is designed to takeadvantage of the

aggressive defensive

tackles and fast flowing

linebackers. The ball will

be snapped to the

blocking back who must

wait one count and then

follow behind the pulling

guard. A variety of

backfield actions will be


19/23

run with this. Spinner motion is very effective as is the JET Spread formation. Run the

trap to the 3 technique side

13.Spinner 21 Trap can be usedto attack the aggressive

defensive tackles and

linebackers by threatening

both edges and then

running underneath the

pressure. The spin of the 2

back will give the delay

needed for the guard to get

out and take short angle

upfield to dig out thedefensive tackle

Spinner 21 Trap nothing changes from our base 1 hole trap play. The 1 is the left leg of

the snapper so that is front side. The guard will be his gosh darn buddy and double team

the 1 technique. The left tackle is now FBI and we will trap the defensive tackle. The

Defensive end/OLB is unblocked. If the mesh is good he should be coming upfield

looking to tackle the #4. We will run under him. We will also snap directly to the #3 back

and run Spinner 31 trap.

14.Rocket 21 trap: from the Jetformation send the 1 in rocket

motion. The 2 back is not

reading the play but must use

the set, show, snap and sell to

open the A gap cutback lane

we are trying to take

advantage of.


20/23

15.23 counter is a designed totake advantage of the

reactive MIKE on the 1 back

action. With 23 counter we

will snap to the 2 back and

he is going to let the 1 cross

his face and take two moving

steps getting on his outside

hip, then plant the outside

foot and arrow behind his

guard. To dress it up and

give the defense more to

digest we will run this with a

fake 143 counter being rununder and the 2 back will use

the 4 as a lead blocker. Also,

run from Double formation

aligning the #3 back 1x1 over

the left offensive tackle in

base or the left end in

unbalanced, which should

move the outside linebacker.#3 blocking back must take

care to identify 1st

linebacker

inside depending on the

formation he is in.

16.Buck 23 Counter Buck 23 isthe same way to double the

defensive tackle and kick out

the defensive end/OLB. The 1

and 2 back must take great

care to endure a great and

proper mesh.


21/23

17.Double 23 Counter G willmove the 3 back to a 1x1

left wing position. He is

now FBI and the backside

guard will be kicking out

the first player beyond

the B gap.

18.143 counter. This playrequires a handoff from

the 1back. A 5 technique

getting too far upfield

combined with a MLB

chasing the #1 back sets up for positive yardage. The #3 back will be the FBI blocker andthe backside guard will

kick out first defender

past the B gap. IF need

too, cheat the left end

out a few yards and see if

the OLB will move out

some as well. If we need

an additional blocker wewill tag the play lead

and the #2 back will

shuffle left with the 1

before aiming at the

outside leg of the left guard and looking for outside uglies.

19.Flash 143 counter: Flashis the spin series without

the 4 back going in

motion. HE must cheat

back 1 yard on the Flash in

order to have the correct

angle of attack to the left

leg of the left guard.

Again, this will be run


22/23

from Double formation as

well

20.Double Flash 143 counterG By placing the 3 back in

double he has a better

angle on the linebacker and

the pulling guard will now

G block and kick out first

man beyond the B gap.

21.Rocket 143 Counter. Tocatch linebackers flowing

too quickly to the jet

motion we will run Rocket

143 power. Here the 1back will catch, show,

snap, and sell as normal

but now will take step back

to the #4 back who will

take the inside handoff

and follow his guard. Since

it is a counter, the #3 back

will kick the first player

beyond the B gap. #2

guard will pull

22.Laser Larry 247 Sweep The 4 back must trust his speed and get to the edge. The 1 backwill crack back inside and the #3 back will lead out to the corner. Uncovered lineman

must reach and overtake

the defender above

them. Covered must

reach rip and run to the

second level.
