Offensive Line General Rules
Playside (Center to TE)
1. Create as many double teams as possible
It all starts with the Centers call
No double team = down block (level 1 to level 2)
(FB = Kick out)
Backside
1. Backside guard pulls for callside LB
2. All remaining backside players block gap, backer, peel
Back to Main Menu
8/12/2019 Power O Clovis West HS
14/46
Offensive Line Points of Emphasis (7)
1. Create as many double teams as possible to the play side
2. Double teams should be called in priority of inside out from thecenter to the call side. Ex. Versus a 3,5,& 9 shades the callshould be Gate not Tango
3. Double teams should get vertical push on DL to invite ILBs torun through underneath plays
4. Double teams should take DL to ILBs
5. Do not come off of double teams early
6. Double teams should incorporate 4-hands, 4-eyes principles
7. Never allow color to penetrate the LOS to the inside of your
double team(you may come off of a double team to block a threat because of
stunts/blitzes)Back to Main Menu
