Offensive Goals

Five main goals that must be achieved to ensure success.1. No mental mistakes, missed assignments, penalties & turnovers.

2. Score. We want to score every time we have the ball.

3. Control the football (field position and the clock).4. Pressure the defense with two basic threatsthe run and the pass.

5. Spread the defense by attacking the entire field.

This offense will only work if:1. 100% commitment from staff and players.

2. We do not accept mediocrity.3. We must keep it simple & rep constantly (do a few things well).

4. Strive to get 100% from our players at all times.

5. Our blocking rules allow our linemen to block any front we may see.

a. Block from the snap of the ball to the whistle.

b. Down field blocking must be aggressive and physical.

c. Be aggressive, nasty and relentless.

6. Our backs are dedicated to perfection.a. Protect the ball - POINT TO PALM/UNDER BICEP/HIGH AND TIGHT

b. The quarterback must have his mechanics drilled to perfection.

c. We must carry out fakes to the extreme (20 yards down field).

Offensive Line/Hole Numbering

The offensive line will line up as close to the ball as possible. Linemen will get in a

comfortable 3-point stance with very little weight on the down hand. The down hand is

the choice of each linemen and will be a matter of what feels most comfortable. The

guard will align no deeper than at the heels of the center. The tackles and ends will align

their hands even with the guards down hand. This will give us a balanced offensive line

with no bowing. Base line splits will be toe to toe but will vary throughout the season to

take advantage of defensive weaknesses. Hole numbers will be even on the right and

odd on the left. The left tight end will be the X man and the right tight end will be the Y

man.

Backs Alignment

A & C backs will line up in a 3 point

stance at an arms length from the

tight end on a 45 degree angle.

The B back will line up in a 3 pointstance directly behind the QB by

extending his arm so that his fingers

tips just touch the QBs back when

he is under center.

Motion

Rip Motion - Orbit motion by A Back on a 45 degree angle. Large open step with inside foot

and go.

Liz Motion - Orbit motion by C Back on a 45 degree angle. Large open step with inside foot

and go.

Path will allow greater depth for backs to enable us to run more North and South and not

allow the defense to chase.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

8/157

Rocket - Full-speed motion by 2 back aiming for heels of the 3 back. Large open step with

inside foot and go. Flatten path after passing the B back. Get head turned toward the ball.

Laser - Full-speed motion by 4 back aiming for heels of the 3 back. Large open step with

inside foot and go. Flatten path after passing the B back. Get head turned toward the ball.

This motion allows us to beat the defense to the outside and put them out of position.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

Jet - Full-speed motion by A/C back to heels of B back. Quick open step with inside foot and go.

This motion will be used as part of our quick-hitting series (Reach/Trap/Reach Pass)

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

10/157

Rocket Stop - Full-speed motion by 2 back aiming for heels of the 3 back. Large open step

with inside foot and go. On third step come to a stop and run play called.

Laser Stop - Full-speed motion by 4 back aiming for heels of the 3 back. Large open step

with inside foot and go. On third step come to a stop and run play called.

This motion allows to run our base plays while getting the defense out of place.

Play Numbering and Terminology

The first number represents the ball carrier. The second number is the point of attack(inside cheek of designated lineman). Any word or words following the number will

designate the blocking scheme for the play. In this case we have Rip 24 Power. Notice

both backs are attacking at 4. The Power call will tell the linemen and the backs their

blocking concept and the backs the proper backfield action.

Calling the Plays

Plays will be called this way in the huddle unless we are running no huddle:

Motion Play Blocking Scheme

Example: Rip 24 Power

Cadence

Our cadence will be: ready.. down (time here to allow line calls).. go-hut-go:

ready.. down.. go-hut-go!

The QB will come to the line of scrimmage and make sure everyone is aligned properly.

He will say READY then get his hands under center. The QB will then begin his

cadence. On DOWN everyone will get into their 3-point stance. Here there will be a

slight pause to allow the linemen to make their calls. The QB will then finish hiscadence by saying GO-HUT-GO. The A or C back will begin their motion on the first

GO. The center will snap will be on the G of the second GO.

The QB will lift his foot when starting ROCKET and ROCKET STOP motion, but the

cadence will remain the same.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

14/157

Linemen:

1. Athletic Position

- Feet straight at shoulders width apart with weight on the balls of your feet.

- Hips down and back

- Z in the knee helps emphasize good power angles & flat back.

- Proud chest

- Flat back/proud chest/head straight/neck bowed.

2. Offensive Line Stance

- Feet straight slightly staggered at a toe to instep relationship.

- Heels are on the ground with weight on the balls of our feet.

We want 7 cleats in the ground while engaging our opponent.

3. Pre-snap position

- We want our hands on our kneeswith our backside out, a proud chestand aflat backwith our head straight and our neck bowed (this is not a resting position).

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

15/157

4. Procedure

- On the command Down we will reach out placing our down hand in front of ourface while maintaining our heels on the ground placing a good amount of weight onour down hand while maintaining a balanced stance.

- Our opposite hand will be out, parallel to our down hand while not touching theground (this enables our load to be even).

- We want high hips with our backside even or just under our head (this will help usmaintain a chest to knee position on our 1st step).

- Our head is up with our eyes facing forward.5. Linemen will crowd the line of scrimmage (LOS).

- The guard will align no deeper than at the heels of the center.

- The tackles and ends will align their hands even with the guards down hand.

- This will give us a balanced offensive line with no bowing.

- Line splits will be non-existent. We will be toe to toe.

6. Everything we accomplish as a team begins and is finished up front.

- The backs get the glory, but the linemen win the games.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

16/157

7. Blocking technique.

- The key is blocking surface and we want to maximize the area provided to us. Wewant our blockers shoulder, head, and hands on the defender driving him. Neverlean into a defender; keep your center of gravity low and stay under the defender as

you drive him upward. Drive your hips into him so that your body stays under his andyour feet constantly moving towards the defender.

8. Double Team Blocking

- First of two main blocking techniques used on the offensive line.

- Accomplished by the first lineman (post man) blocking the defensive lineman

aligned on him. He will fire out and get the defender lifted, without trying to gainposition. As the defender is posted the adjacent lineman (lead man) will drive hisinside shoulder into the hip of the defender. At this point both linemen will split thedefender in half and work toward pushing him backwards (never sideways).

- Eyes of both linemen are always up and directed at the linebackers. This way theyare capable of handling any alignment, stunt, or blitz.

- Pushing the double team up the field instead of sideways helps open up welldefined blocking lanes while cutting off scraping linebackers.

- Keys to proper double teams are sound engagement technique and good footwork.

- Gives lineman a force advantage

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

17/157

9. Down Blocking

- Second of the two main blocking techniques used by the offensive line.

- Ensures gap protection.

- Will be used against defenses that do not give us double teams.

- Great against an Eagle front.

- Great against stack defenses and defenses that like to stunt a lot.

- A 30-degree angle is followed on playside either inward or outward.

- Exploding off the LOS is KEY!

- Sound engagement technique and good footwork.

- Is used with or without pulling and trapping.

- Easy to understand.

- Simple to teach.

- Simple to implement.

- Simple to execute.

- Simple to adjust.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

18/157

10. Power

- Backside TE scramble blocks

- Backside Tackle & Backside Guard - pull, seal any leakage and then wall off inside.

11. Power O (only run if backside penetration is disrupting the play)

- Backside TE & Tackle cutoff.

- Backside Guard - pull, sealing any penetration leakage and then wall off inside.

12. Iso (great against defense with DE on to inside eye and back walked up)- Backside TE & Tackle cutoff.

- Backside Guard - pull, sealing any penetration leakage and then wall off inside.

- Playside Tackle and TE follow out path (opposite of down block).

13. Counter (includes Counter Criss-Cross/Shuffle Pass)

- Backside TE scramble blocks

- Backside Tackle - pull, seal any leakage and then wall off inside.

- Backside Guard - pull, seal any leakage, kicking out first threat to show.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

19/157

14. Trap Block

- Block by backside guard on the first down lineman on/outside playside guard.

- Accomplished by the guard pulling on a 45 degree path. Head is in the hole and feet

accelerate on contact (If man has his back to us contact must be made above the knee).- If trap man disappears then continue path up the field and lead block for the B back.

15. G Block

- Same as trap but playside guard now trap block outside one to two holes wider.

16. Wedge

- Seven on one block with interior linemen pushing on adjacent linemen.

17. Reach Blocking/Pass Blocking/Scramble Blocking (FLAT - THROW - SCRAMBLE)

- This block will be accomplished by bringing the far ear to the outside knee of thedefender. Once the target is reached the offensive player will bear crawl to cutoff thedefender. Along with being our backside protection block we will also use the scramble

block on many pass plays and outside runs where we need to reach block.

18. Rip and Run

- This block is accomplished by taking the inside arm and ripping across the face of thedefender. We are not trying to block this man. We are blocking defenders at the nextlevel. The defender can never cross our face. We want him to take the easy way outand try and chase the play from behind. He can never make the play. This block will be

used on Rocket Toss.

Backfield Principals

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

21/157

Backfield:

1. 3/B Back (Fullback) Stance and Alignment

- 3-point stance one hand down and same side foot back (numbers on the knees).

- Down hand is directly in front of the back foot.

- Feet are no wider than shoulder width.

- Place little weight on the down hand 50 to 60% of weight on front foot (bend at the

knees and then place the hand down).

- Their eyes are up, tails down.

- Have them get into a four point stance then move foot back and hand down.

- Line up directly behind QB.

- Should be able to almost touch the QB if you stretched your arm out.

- 3-point stance, this helps to hide the B back and makes the deception game better.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

22/157

2. A/2 and C/4 (Wing Backs) Stance and Alignment

- 3-point stance with knees bent.

- Feet shoulder width apart with slight stagger.

- Head and eyes up.

- Shoulders angled inward at 45 degrees and looking at the tight ends outside hip.

-At an arms length from tight end.

- Do not lean forward.

- Sit into your stance.

3. Quarterbacks Stance

- Feet as far back as possible with arms fully extended to avoid collisions with pullers.

- Narrow stance with toes pointed in (pigeon toes) to make pivoting easier.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

23/157

4. Taking a Snap

- The QBs hands should be placed so they are side by side with the index fingers

touching.

- The fingers should be spread to cover a greater area of the ball.

- The hands should be flat against the centers back side, and far enough in so that the

hands can touch the ball once its been snapped.

- Once the snap is received the QB will bring the ball straight to his belt buckle.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

24/157

5. Quarterback Footwork on the Toss (PULL - PIVOT - TURN - SWING - TOSS)

- Quarterback will take a pivot step as he receives the ball from center. The playside

foot will pivot, toes going in toward the other foot, knee turning inside, heel outside.

- As he pulls the ball in to his stomach, his weight is shifted onto the ball of his right

foot, with heel still raised.

- Shoulders turn rapidly toward the motioning wing.

- The toes of his left foot are pointed to the sky as he begins his pivot.

- The quarterback takes a swing step with his left foot with all of the weight on hisright leg. The left foot lands in such a way that the quarterbacks back is completely

to the line of scrimmage and the toes of each foot are pointed toward opposite

sidelines and the left foot actually lands behind the plane of the right foot.

- It is at this point that the quarterback has made his two handed toss to the wing.

- The ball is tossed very gently to the sweet spot about 4 yards deep behind thebackside guard/b gap.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

25/157

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

26/157

6. Making a handoff

- When making the handoff, there must be a good mesh point.

- The quarterback must get the ball to the 2, 3, or 4 back and the back must make a

good pocket so that the quarterback can seat the ball easily.

- The quarterback must look the ball in and then carry out the fake.

- Looking the ball in is a must for two reasons.

- Ensuring that the ball was given smoothly and there is not a fumble.

- The other reason is for faking.

- Look ball into belly of ball carrier.

7. Faking a handoff

- The key is to use the eyes.

- Follow the ball just as you would if you were really giving it to the ball carrier.

- This makes the defense come up and attack the ball carrier.

- Finish the play.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

27/157

8. Taking a handoff

- Make a pocket using arms and hands

- Ball side arm is parallel to the ground and just above the chest

- Ball side arm is pointed outward towards the handoff location

- Palm and forearm are facing down

- Away side arm is parallel to the ground and just below the belly button

- Away side elbow is point to the opposite side of the handoff

- Palm and forearm are facing upwards

- Ball is placed into the midsection and away hand secures it in a 4 point contact

9. Making a Toss

- Toss the ball like you would toss a baby.

- Soft toss with a soft catch

10. Carrying the ball

- Protect the ball - POINT TO PALM/UNDER BICEP/HIGH AND TIGHT

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

28/157

11. B Back footwork on the G (DROP - CROSS - SQUARE - ATTACK)

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

29/157

12. Kickout block on the Power (OPEN - CROSS - SQUARE - SLIDE - DRIVE)- Fullback takes a 45 degree open step with playside foot. Crossover with oppositefoot (aiming point is at rear of playside tackle). Attack first defender to show. Loadhands, square up and explode (LOAD - BAM - EXPLODE).

Offensive Line Principles

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

31/157

1. Snapping the football:

- Both hands are placed on the football where the back third of the football is covered.

- The ball is almost vertical where the point is in the ground with 50% of weight on ball.

- Not only the fastest snap possible, but it has proven safer than traditional snaps.

After changing to this snap we NEVER had another fumble Center-QB exchange.- The ball is snapped directly back to the QB with the ball turning end over end.

- It is being snapped correctly when the QB complains about the snap being too hard.

-A bonus is the Centers arm are loaded back as are all the offensive linemens arms.

- Another bonus is the Center can play from a lower stance.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

32/157

2. Playside Blocking Rules:

- Playside blocking rules on the majority of our plays will be ONto DOWN.

- We will block the first man ONus.

- The ONman is the first one ONus working from our inside to our outside.

- If there is no one ONus then we will block DOWNon the next interior linemen.

- If the DOWNman disappears we will work to second level.

- These rules will be used by the Playside Tackle (T) and Playside Guard (G).

- Blocking rules for the playside Tight End (Y) will DOWNto BACKER.

- The Centers rules will be ONto AWAY.

Offensive Line Drills:

Trap Chute (LOAD - BAM)

1. Drill Organization and Procedure:

a. LOAD

1. Groups of five will align in with heads just in front of chute.

2. On DOWN command linemen will get into a proper 3-point stance witheyes up, a flat back and the free hand a hair off the ground and out in front.

3. On whistle linemen take a short 6 loadstep while loading the arms back.

4. Drill is repeated with opposite foot and with a 45 degree step each way.

5. After all initial steps have been completed the second part of the progressionwill be added.

b. BAM

1. On second whistle linemen will take second step to minimize the groundbetween themselves and the defender.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

42/157

2. Coaching Points:

a. Make sure linemen begin in an athletic position with a proud chest, high hips andhands on knees.

b. On load linemen should always keep chest over knee.

c. On bam seven cleats are to be violently planted into the ground while still keepingchest over knee and arms loaded.

d. At this point a linemans potential energy is at a maximum.

e. From here linemen will move on to the next drill.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

43/157

5-Man Sled (LOAD - BAM - EXPLODE)


a. Linemen will go through same progression as they did at Trap Chute.

b. The explode step will follow with all potential energy being let loose into the sled.

2. Coaching Points:

a. Each step in the progression will be on a whistle.

b. Everything will be done the same as in the previous drill.

c. On third whistle all potential energy will explode into sled.

d. Linemen will do the drill with each foot as well as on a 45 degree angle in eachdirection.

e. Once linemen have completed all of the steps of the drill they will be allowed to gothrough the entire progression in one fluid motion starting on cadence.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

44/157

Takeoff


a. Linemen will go through same progression as they did at Trap Chute, but nowthrough the 5-man chute.

b. Defenders will align on the opposite side of the chute holding shields.

c. Linemen will go on cadence.

2. Coaching Points:

a. Emphasize coming off the ball as quickly as possible.

b. Watch to make sure everyone loads.

c. Make a competition of it.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

45/157

Double Team Block (Post/Lead)


a. The drill will consist of two offensive linemen and two defenders. One offensive

lineman will be designate the post man and the other the lead man.

b. Post man will fire out and get defender lifted upward.

c. Lead man will aim helmet for defenders near armpit.

d. Offensive linemen will split the defender and push him backwards, not sideways.

2. Coaching Points:

a. Blocking defender down is counterproductive. We are looking to push defender intoscraping linebackers.

b. Eyes are always up and looking inside to pick up any stunting linebackers.

c. After the post/lead block is completed successfully for several repetitions, differentscenarios will be presented to make sure all defensive reactions are covered.

d. Finally, techniques will be implemented to dissolve the double team when it is notnecessary, such as when there is a physical mismatch in our favor.

Down Block


a. We usually align a defense that we believe we will see during the upcoming game,

but mix it up to cover our bases.b. Key point is to block area, not man.

c. Step at 30 degrees with the foot in the direction we are going.

d. Feet accelerate on contact and drive their man until the whistle blows.

2. Coaching Points:

a. Players need to understand they are not blocking a man, but an area. If theychase, gaps are created and the assignment of adjacent linemen can be messed up.

b. If no contact is made after three steps a lineman will work up to linebacker leveland block any linebackers scraping across.

c. Occasionally send a linebacker so linemen never guess who they may be blocking.

d. If we face a quicker than usual defensive lineman, aiming point will be his far foot.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

48/157

Trap/G Block(OPEN - CROSS - INSIDE - DRIVE)

1. Alignment:

a. Align defense in the toughest possible alignment to block.

2. Drill Command and Procedure:

a. Pulling guard will take a quick open step at 45 degrees and follow that path throughthe block looking to get head inside of the defender.

3. Coaching Points:

a. Always keep it tight. Its better to trap tight than run by the block.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

49/157

Scramble Block (FLAT - THROW - SCRAMBLE)

1. Alignment:

a. Align a defender in an outside technique.

2. Drill Command and Procedure:

a. On the snap of the ball each lineman will execute a FLAT step in the direction of thedefender they are blocking.

b. On their second step they will THROW their far arm in the same direction they areblocking. The THROW will bring the far leg across their body. When done correctlythis should put the blocker in, at or beyond the outside leg of the defender.

c. Here the blocker will SCRAMBLE into the defender. The SCRAMBLE isaccomplished by bear-crawling through the defender.

4. Coaching Points:

a. Emphasize that players keep their FLAT and THROW steps perpendicular to LOS.

b. Make the SCRAMBLE comfortable for them early on. As time passes work towardgetting the body to turn around the defender to gain position.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

alternating each time through.

b. Two backs will align as DEs, aligning according to what we will expect that week.

c. On regular cadence the back will attack the DE.

2. Coaching Points

a. First step will be toward the line, followed by a cross over step, giving the back a

perfect kick out path.

b. DE will use a specific technique that we are expecting from opponent.

c. Back will attack the inside shoulder of the DE looking to make contact with chest

and both forearms (flippers) to maximum blocking surface.

d. Make sure backs drive until whistle.

a. Align the offense adjacent to a fence.1. Do not use the playside Wing.

b. Set up any defense, but replace the DE and outside force player with bags.

c. On the snap run Power.

2. Coaching Points:

a. The key here is the backs learning to make their cut up into the hole.

1. We are looking for the 3 back and QB to get to their bags as quickly as

possible, but to not make much contact.

2. The running back has a choice to either run the hole or hit the fence.

b. This drill will also get the back to hit the hole faster and hit it more north and south.1. Let the backside DE try and chase the play down after several repetitions.

1. Calls

a. DOMINO: This call can be made by any lineman on the playside. It will

alert all playside linemen to block down. This call works best against a stuntingdefense or an Eagle front.

b. XENA: Call made by one lineman to the adjacent lineman to his outside tocross block with him (usually will be made by the guard to alert the tackle onIso when he has a 3 technique aligned on him).

c. FARMER: Call made by one lineman to the adjacent lineman to his insideto fold block with him.

c. DEUCE: Made by the post man when he can handle the man himselfsending the lead man to second level.

Line Calls:

2. Communication

a. Linemen will make dummy calls on every play.

1. This hides our main calls developed as the season progresses.

2. This will make the defense think more.

b. Linemen will be able to talk to each other at the line to:

1. Ask for help on a block.

2. Ask if they have somehow forgotten their assignment.

3. Ask if snap count forgotten (should not happen, but)

Crossing Routes

I. Basics

A. Blitz control

B Stop hard scraping linebackers

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

121/157

B. Stop hard scraping linebackers

C. Easy read for quarterback

D. Great run after catch yardage

E. Simple pitch and catch

F. Place defenders in conflict

II. 5 Step Drop

A. First read is the inside linebacker

- Do not block linebackers

- If they come throw any time during drop to Crosser

III. Cross A. Cross any players at line of scrimmage

- Crosser must run for the hands of the defensive linemen

- If linebacker comes the ball is received immediately

- Crosser climbs to 5 yards over backside guard

B. First man past the center opposite of cross runs a Dig route at 10 yards

C. FB flare to the side of crosser

- Who is going to cover him?

- Opposite call we will flare to the other sideD. Man away from the Dig route runs the Go route

E. Man opposite Dig runs the Seam

IV. Pass Protection

A. Linemen block linemen

- Quarterbacks read is predicated on whether linebackers drop or blitz

p y

- All purpose routes

- Can be run with any kind of motion

- Great pass out of empty formations

- Easy pass protection rules- Put you best players in space

Rules for the 2 Man Scat

- The Ends always run the Scat

- The Wing back runs the glance

- The backs flair

- Out of the double wing a Right or Left call is made, telling which HB to run the Glance.

Scat Route

- The Scat route is a spacing route in which the receiver finds the hole between the linebackers

approximately 6 to 7 yards deep

- Punch & Pivot

Glance

- The glance route is just a skinny post run by the WB. He will nod on the seventh step and run for

the near post.

Terminology

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

142/157

Cadence: the snap call progression.

Counter: a play where the running backs run opposite of the called play with the

exception of the ball carrier, who runs to the point of attack.

Double Team Block: our main blocking scheme where a lineman at the point of attack

will POST their defender and an adjacent will LEAD.

Down Block: the name for our blocking scheme where we are stepping on a hard angle(usually 30 degrees), continuing on an imaginary line and blocking any defender that

crosses our path. We may adjust our angle according to the speed of the defense.

First Level: defenders lined up on the line of scrimmage (LOS), usually defensive

linemen.

Kick-out Block: an inside-out block on the first defender past the point of attack.

Aimed at his inside jersey number so that he is sealed from the inside.

Line of Scrimmage (LOS): the area directly across from the offensive line, usually

within 6 inches of the ball.

Log Block: an inside-out block on the first defender past the point of attack. Aimed at

the outside jersey number so that he his sealed to the inside and away from the outside.

Pl id th id f th b ll h th l i b i

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

143/157

Playside: the side of the ball where the play is being run.

Point of Attack: the area we are running the ball to, most often designated by a hole

number.

Scramble Block: our second of our two main blocking schemes used by our TE on the

backside of most of our running plays and by our linemen on sweeps and pass plays.

Second Level: defenders directly behind the first level of defenders, usually linebackers.

Seal Blockan outsidein block by the wingback. Takes an outside release step and

does not attempt to touch the defensive lineman inside him. He turns inside

perpendicular to the LOS and attacks the first linebackers outside jersey number inside

of the point-of-attack.

Third Level: all other defenders beyond the second level, usually defensive backs.

Trap Block: a block where a pulling lineman blocks out the first free man at the point of

attack.

Wall-Off Block: a block to cut off defensive pursuit at a point immediately beyond the

line of scrimmage.

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

144/157

Wedge Block: a block where we will try and bring the offensive line together to block

one defender. We will drive our inside shoulder to the middle of the back of the next

lineman to our inside. It is our goal to not touch any defender but the man we arewedging.

SPINNER PACKAGE

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

145/157

Adding the Spinner:

Adding the Spinner was as an easy transition from our base Double Wing package. The blocking

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

146/157

assignments remain the same for the linemen and the backs have very little to learn. Teaching time is

minimal, but will give the defense headaches. The spinning backs combined with the motion and lots

of Criss-Cross action in the backfield add up to a defensive nightmare. The footwork takes a

minimal amount of time to perfect and will become second nature in a matter of days. With our center

injured and out for at least a week we were forced to make some changes. Furthermore, our backups

at center performed a standard snap so slow we knew we would be lucky to get a play off. The snap

is so easy to perform that we knew we could put anyone there and run it successfully. A simple flick

of the wrist and the ball was put into play. All we asked of center was to make a blind snap, keeping it

low and soft. The back getting the ball would simply reach out and intercept the snap. We

introduced the Spinner on a Monday and ran it the entire game that Saturday. The defense really had

its hands full as they were forced to guess who had the ball the entire game. We were able to better

take advantage of a very good running quarterback

Alignment:

Aligning in the Spinner will literally take a few seconds to learn. The B back will simply

take a half step to his right and the QB will align adjacent to the B back Both backs will

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

147/157

take a half-step to his right and the QB will align adjacent to the B back. Both backs will

split the center evenly and align as close together as possible. The rest of the offense

keeps their normal alignment.

Teaching the Snap:

The snap is as easy to learn as the alignment. The center just needs to remember to

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

148/157

p y g j

keep it soft, low, slow and down the middle. The ball carrier is taking the ball so the

center does not need to snap it in either direction.

Plays to Run:

Pretty much anything you can run out of the Double Wing you can run out of the

Spinner. However, like the base Double Wing it is best keep it simple. The Spinner

8/13/2019 Dw Playbook 2012

149/157

p , g p p p

usually works best with motion in one direction, with the same CTXX action at all times.

It is advantageous to do so for three reasons. First, the backfield gets continuous reps

with the same action. Second, the defense really does get lulled to sleep. Finally, weusually have our QB on the left and we want him doing the majority of the handing off

and passing.

The Spinner more so than the base Double Wing can be tinkered with to fit your

personnel. If you have two stud B backs, then why not have them in the backfield

together? Personally, I do not care for passing the ball, but I have gone with two

Quarterbacks. It can give the defense fits.
