Intro – Spread Start • Lesson 1 – Common Sense Football “Nothing means Something” – Key to Communication • Triple AAA • Alignment • Assignment • Action Lets Get Started – Alignment First

Alignment and POA Ace Right Jand Y (Away-back) B–Z–X (Toward-front) Odd #’s – Left Even #’s - Right *Note - 2 different hole #’s for outside attack *10=teen 30 10 20 40 00 (0h) 70 50 90 60 80 C T G Y G T X Z J Q B

Alignment • Oline1 foot split (minimum) with toes on heel of Center – shift from 2 point to 3 point stance • Qb @ 5 yds depth (parallel stance) • B @ 5 yds depth over tackle (2pt) • Xrec and Zrec(rec) spread toward call (max) • Yrec(3pt) and J(rec)away from call *See signal from sideline and get aligned NOW

Rule #1 - Identify Defense • Look @ Defense now / NOT sideline • Identify if Covered or Uncovered *Covered Defined = “inside-over-outside” • Oline covered by Dline (hand on ground) • Backs covered by Backer (Mike always playside) • Recs covered by DB • Corner #1 Defender • Safety #2 Defender • Outside Backer Mr O Defender • Defensive End #3 Defender • Qb checks Safeties (points @ both) lets take a look @ DEFENSIVE Alignment

Defensive Identification DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENT RECOGNITION “ACE RIGHT” – spread 2x2 #2 Defender (dc) Deep cover OR force Middle Defender Safety Box #2 Defender (dc) Deep cover OR force #1 Def dc/force MIKE #1 Def dc/force Mr-0 EDGE Mr-0 EDGE TACKLE BOX GUT BOX TACKLE BOX #3 DEND #3 DEND B-gap 3tech

Rule #2 – Over Communicate • Make defensive recognition calls *point @ key defenders *example – Bbackpoints @ Mike Backer • Qb (only) looks @ sideline to get play – calls x2 • Team LISTENS & Makes play Cue-Calls *Recs signal call and/or acknowledge received More important we know what we’re doing – than defense thinking they know

Rule #3 – Triple AAA • Get Aligned on Ball ASAP - proper spacing *identify if covered–uncovered + key defenders • LISTEN to YOUR cue-call *make proper cue-call for play • Get off ball aggressively and confidently *get between Defenders and where ball is going COMMON SENSE FOOTBALL

Install Step 1 - CRITICAL • QB SNEAK • “Gogo - Nanu – Nanu” (silent snap) *No Audible – Now Under (s0, get set) • Coach signals set & play + Qb calls out (x2) • Get set ASAP (eye on ball = TTO) *Oline call = “tight” to middle blocking • Backs and Recs get set – be STATUES • Qb check all set – hands under center & ready • Center pause long 1 count – snap and we go Lets Take a Look

Qb Sneak – Dive – Tight Middle Ace Left – “NanuNanu” Ace Left – “Iowa State” 2 F#2 $#2 2 C#1 C#1 0 2 W S 1 M E E N T 3 Tight Sift to Sam X Y J Q Z B Backs * Recs–too easy! Get set – stay set – BE A STATUE - Oline –tight reach to middle (1-2 dive block) *TTO - get off the ball Qb –punch snap with arms not body (no leaning forward) Let Oline get surge and read Center block for 3 way out lets take a look @ NANU in action

NANU - NANU Notice Oline First Steps – All “Tight” to Middle with inside foot first (Great TTO) *Backs – Recs STATUES Qb punch snap – then GO

Install Step 2 – Communication • Combination of words + numbers • Use both to help players memorize *note my hand signals to demonstrate communication • 1st Formation signal (directional as you see it) “Ace Right” + • WORD ASSOCIATION - any US state (no signal given) “Iowa” + • 3 NUMBERS - COMBINATION LOCK (only #’s of play) “908”

Play Translation

QB Communication Process “Ace Right – Ace Right” *read defense – point @ safeties (defensive #’s) *pause & make sure everyone aligned properly • “Michigan – 905” (pause) *must allow time to process and communicate calls • “Michigan – 905” • Give count reminder if not on 1st GO *saying nothing means something (TTO-count) *check make sure everyone set (backfield behind you) + see defense • “Set” – “Readyyy” – “Go”

Why it works • Tappers (we-Offense) • Listeners(they – Defense) • We know what to listen for – they do not Example - 904 • They hear 2nd-3rd digits together – (9) (04) • Wehear 1st and 2nd digits together - (90) (4) lets take a look @ play 904 in action

Ace right 90 *JREC ball carrier (3rd team) Notice JREC– great timing on motion *Belly Back technique after hand off from Qb

Jet Stretch Right Ace Right – 90 F C $#2 C#1 *Jet Signals Jrec= Mo Man pats his chest Zrec = points @ W S-Mr0 M E N T E PST or Y –Secure edge!!! Do Not let DEnd cross face *1 step bucket if covered Y X Z J B Oline – 3 step bucket *stretch reach to far gap Qb –jet stretch mesh and Hoff using 2 step shuffle and arms follow back (pause) then pivot drop step to sprint pass fake away Bback– align toward and see-block support defender *Bongo technique – if no backer blitz (soft) then help PST on Dend (B on & go)

How It Works • USE 0f PROVEN Memorization Techniques • Themes or Patterns • Alliteration • Unique terms or Memory Markers • Chunking • Scaffolding • HOW (concrete examples) • Themes: 90 series = jet series • Alliteration: 70 series all start with “S” = sprint • Memory Markers: embedded cues (90 = jet mo) • Chunking: break up into small bits (units) • Scaffolding: build upon each concept (stretch)

Install Step 3 – Spread Core • Ace Right – 90 Stretch • Review of Triple AAA • Oline – Wide Reach / 3 step bucket / Secure edge • Bback – Outside-In Support / Arch / Bongo tech • Recs – 12 block / BSCO • Qb – 2 step shuffle mesh & Hoff-sprint boot away • Jrec – Jet Mo @ “S”eeet and read Fback Lead • Ace Right – 90 (walk & talk) then 99(Zrec ball) • Ace Left – 99 (half speed) and then 90

Install Step 4 – Blitz Beaters • BLITZ Beater #1 – Fast Screen • Stretch blocking combined with bubble pass • Ace Right – Gogo Ram (walk & talk) Gogo Lion • BLITZ Beater #2 – Sprint Pass 2 level flood • Stretch tech for Sprint Pro • 2 Level Flood Combo (Go and Speed Out) • 4 Step Qb sprint out pass timing (quick pass) • Ace Right – Seattle 72 (walk & talk) Seattle 71

Perfect Plays • Get into 3 offensive groups • 1st group @ 10 yd line – rest behind (watch) • Coach will signal set and play • Offense executes Triple AAA (Coaches = Defs) • Run play through Goal line (all 11 Perfect) • Finish outside and back around • 2nd group replace – watch & listen – repeat • 3rd group same (all use same set & play) *Goal = 3 perfect plays in a row – Start to Finish

Review Lesson Plan 1Teaching Method – Review and New • Perfect Plays everyday after warm up *Coaches are Key Defenders – reactions & scout D • Review Core Plays (previous day) • Intro New (big Picture – walk & talk to Run) • Break down into Individual Fundos • Progress to Group Install – drills • Back to TEAM vs Defense Play review You Got It – Lets Get Started

Why It Works Repeated • Use of Proven Memorization Techniques • Foundations or core only (easy to process) • Themes or Memory Markers (unique cues) • Alliteration (same first letter or sounds) • Chunking (unit 1 = formation / unit 2 = play) • Scaffolding (build concept upon concept) Theyhear Everything – We hear One thing!
