THE HUDDLE

C

The center calls the huddle before every play We have 3 different types of the huddles.

Team Huddle = All 11 offensive players meet to get the play, 7-8 yards from LOS

Muddle Huddle = The Lineman, &, SB meet the QB to get the call, 3-4 yards from LOS

No Huddle = All Players hustle to their position and listen for the QB’s Call

We use motion to block the extra guy, or we can have the BST block the T and read the E.

Best case is to check to QB Iso through the 3 hole.

Identifying Cover 2

Corners Align Press to 5 Yards

Safeties Play Outside The OT’s, Can Be On The Hash

OLB’s Play IS of ISWR, Triangle Technique

Identifying Cover 3

One Middle Safety, Usually at 12-15

Corners Play OS Alignment at 7 to 9 yards.

Usually and Invert One Side Of the Field, or a 4-4 Type Look

Tough To Play Cover 2 From a 3 Shell, But Defenses use a 3 shell to disguise cover 4.

Also Looks Like Cover 1. If $ is leveraging TE, expect cover one.

Identifying Cover 4

Two Safeties, Inside the hashes.

Corners in off technique, near safety depth

Usually No Invert versus cover 4

Expect limited blitzes versus cover 4.

Defenses Run Cover 4 to get the safeties into the run game.
