PERSONAL PROTECTOR - PUNT PROTECTIONYou are the quarterback of the punt team. You have a very important role; one that canliterally make the difference of winning or losing in a close game.You have to know the protections, IUlderstand how to apply them, and communicate "loudand clear" to our punt team. You will need to study the opponents rush on video.

This late or "HOT" rusher would be someonecoming late & fast from off the LOS or outside on our head-hunter.I f >Ie had time we would simply "recount" and protect accordingly.Tenn to say we might be changing the protection due to a shift ofsome kind. Look and listen to new situation. Everyone be alert andcommunicate as necessary.Last call made (hopefully) before ball is snapped. We..cmW1 get aHOf call (in an llTllSllai situation) after the SET" call. On "SET" -call everyone should be anticipating the snap.

"ZORRO" PUNT PROTECTIONZORRO is the tenn we use to zone block that side of the LOS. It tells each man that hemust be ready to "jam" a rusher both to his inside and outside gaps. In "ZORRO" we will set

back in a straight line, keeping proper relationship with the man to our inside and outside."SLOT" men must keep relationship with tackle and never IWe up the inside lane, I f you haveto give up anywhere make the outside rusher come all the way around. Never be soft to theinsjde.

Basic technique for "ZORRO" is to step straight back krx:pini shoulders low to maximizepunch on rushers to both gaps. StaY square and do !lOt open any l;mes. Give ground grudginglyand keep alignment relationship intact. If rushers pull out on snap, set back then get into coverage quickly. Don't block air! Don't allow people to hold you up . Fight your way out and get to your lane

We zone block only when we have to against an overload of 5 on one side, or on thecenter' s block side when there areS (or more) total rushers.

With "8 up" we will always "ZORRO" block the side that the center is blocking.("ROGER" =Right or "LOUIE" = left.)

However, lemember that if there are only 7 (or less) rushers we don ' t have to "ZORRO"because the persona! protector and center will block the #1 rusher on 4-man side, or the man W1the center if it's and "odd" look - 3 on each side with a !IOseman.

"MACHO PROTECTION ANDPUNTSCoaro;D" Points;

"Mamo" is b a ~ man 10 man punt protection, with a very quick & short drop-step 10check for twists and quick moves. We use MACHO any time that there are three (3) or lessto that side lIIld we use it against four (4) rushers when the center is blocking fromyour side. This is possible becanse the personal protection (PP) will block the number #1 rusheraligned Wl the center, or in the gap area on the MACHO side, from the Roger (= Right)or "Louie" (=Left) call, (made by the personal protector)The Personal Protector will make a "Macbo, Macbo" call when there are only six (6)rushers at L.O.S. rut it is the responsibility of the blockers to always know the numbers of rusherson your side.* Also, you !!I!lst kmw which way the center is blocking because we want the centerto have to block a rusher to his gap with no help.The technique for MACHO is to identify by pointing to the man you should block. Takea quick and short set back and as the rusher comes - punch straight through his chest with your

helmet. Get a good, tough shot on him, using your hands to punch and push off or to get free ofhim if he is trying to hold you up.On MACHO - dQ..nQt deep set and retreat. It is an aggressive block so you can stun himand get into coverage quickly.I f stutters or delays coming of the ball on the snap, don't wait for him - Get intocoverage quickly , Avoid him,* Unless there is an IIDJ1snai alignment -like 5 on side, and 2 on the other, anytime there areseven(7) or less rushers we should be in MACHO protection on both sides of the ball.
