In order to effectively run our pass offense, there will be certain rules that will apply. In somecases, these rules will apply to a specific pass series, and in some cases, they will apply to allpasses. The numbering starts from the outside in towards the ball.

PLAYSIDE RULES1. Any time a receiver gets a 0" called for his pattern, he will run the FIRST TAG called in the

play. Example: RAG 550 Wheel (#2 receiver runs the wheel)

2. When there is a #3 receiver to the called side, He will run a #9 pattern unless he is Tagged.

*If there is a 0" called in the pattern combination*a. He will run the SECOND TAG CALLED.b. If only one TAG, you are not Tagged and should run a 9 pattern

*If there is no 0" called in the last 2 digits*a. He will run the TAG CALLED

Examples:

550 Wheel (#1-5 pattern, #2-Wheel, #3-9 pattern)550 Wheel, Stay (#1-5 pattern, #2-Wheel, #3- Stay)

BACKSIDE OUTSIDE RECEIVER (#1 backside)1. Backside outside receiver will mirror the playside #1 receiver in the 300/400.2. Backside outside receiver will always run a SKINNY POST in the 100/200, 500/600,700/800, and 900/000 series. DO NOT CROSS THE HASH TO YOUR SIDE.
