Motion Concepts
We use motion to gain an advantage at the point of attack We want to remove a defender We want to gain leverage We want to change the strength We want to make a coverage determination
Receiver Motion
Zip- #1 into the formation Zap- #1 away from the formation Zoom- #1 across the formation Rip- Left IS Receiver across the formation Liz- Right IS Receiver across the formation Motor- Right IS WR motions out past the #1 WR Motel- Left IS WR motions out past the #1 WR Tom- Y shuffle motion to the play Ted- Y Shuffle motion away from the play Hop- H Shuffle motion to the play Hip- H Shuffle motion away from the play Jet- Motion to mesh with the QB as on Jet Sweep
RB Motion
Hump- A Back to the TE Jump- A Back away from the TE Away- H (in the backfield) away from the TE To- H (In the backfield) to the TE Orbit- Motions our H or A back into the backfield Adding Re to any motion brings the player back Adding slow to any motion slows the player down
Example of Zip
Y H Q A The Z will motion into the formation. Z
Example of Zip
Y H Q A To the Right, the Z is in motion. Z
Example of Motor
Z H Q A The Z will tighten his split Y
Example of Zap
Y X Q A To the right, the Z will be in motion. H Z
Example of Rip
Z H Q A On Liz, the Y is in motion form our base look. Y
The ball will be snapped when the H is 2 yards outside the tackle.
If we are in trips right and want to motion back to our base 2x2 look, the H would be in Liz motion.
Example of Jump
Z Y Q A The WR to the motion side will close his split down to 8 yards.
42-43 Inside (Traditional IS Zone) 42-43 Seal (Split Flow Zone) 42-43 Wash (Designed Cutback) 42-43 Custard (Backside Iso) 42-43 Inside Read (Reading Backside End)

30 Stack
22 Stack Up
We number our stack by game plan. Whenever we face a stack defense, we go back to our gap rules. We have our gap first.
This is an example of an Ace call on 42 IS. The RG is covered with a 3 tech, and the Center is uncovered with a man over. The RG and Center take their playside zone step with eyes to their gap.
The uncovered player must have his eyes in his PSG. In the case above, the 3 Tech slanted inside and the Center has to pick him up. The RG sees him go away and now works to the player filling the B gap.
If the Mac were to step up to blitz, the Center would make a base call. This would eliminate the Arizona call and put both lineman on a base block.
Handling Stunts
B L E T T E B
This is a two-on-two drill working two offensive lineman vs. a defensive lineman and a backer. This is a generic drill where we will put guards with tackles and centers with guards. We want this to be a game speed drill once the initial teaching is done.
This is our three on three drill we do a lot because of stacked fronts. We get head up tackles that will slant. We work this drill with the frontside, then the backside. We get our eyes up and this teaches the kids to be able to work an inside threat. We teach patience in this drill and we follow a very strict rule, Dont Chase Backers.
QB will take the football through the 3rd hand, open at 45 to the call side, and reach the ball deep.
The QB is responsible for the handoff reaching the navel of the running back.
The Tailback will take a zone step to the playside and ensure the QB secures the snap.
The tailback will rollover his outside foot and make a deep soft pocket with his top palm out.
The tailbacks eyes are reading the flow of the first frontside combo

Q A
We run this best to a backside 3 tech. The backside guard takes a hard zone step then works back and seals the 3 tech. The tackle will pull around and lead up on the Will. Tailback is looking to roll this through the backside A gap. This is a great change-up.
Attack the A and B Gaps of the Defense Get the ball downhill quickly Allows us to be physical up front Takes advantage of read and react defensive line Can be run versus any front
Q A
Tailback takes a hard downhill step with his playside foot. Her works downhill to the Void TB must be prepared to win a 1 on 1 battle with the LB OL can incorporate fold schemes to eliminate leverage!

Coaching Point: Zone Combos Are Designed To Get Movement, But You Must Have Four Eyes On The Backer
BOB Tells The H He Has The PSLB (Back on Backer) We Combo The 3 Tech To The Mike With 4 Eyes To Backer The BST Has #2 By Rule, and We Can Adjust Him To Stay On 3 and Change The Double On The One To A Zone Combo To The Will
One advantage of the pistol is being able to run the split flow zone in a more traditional matter. Our H has backside number 3 by rule. Because we are sealing the backside, we have opened up a better chance for the cutback. We can run the split flow zone from multiple pistol formations.
The split key will slow the pursuit of the linebackers. The fullback will be responsible for the backside C gap. If the backside C gap play comes upfield, work to the backside cutback player.
Creating Misdirection
We can create false flow keys for the linebackers. We can use misdirection with our Zone, Counter, and Trap game. We can run multiple looks with essentially one concept.

We will run our inside read and inside read option concepts. We can run both concepts from a 1 and two back set. We can read the backside or the frontside. Our Zone read with the H back is our base play in the two back set.
The Offensive Line will execute their inside zone rules. The TB will dropstep and get into pitch relationship The QB will read the backside 5 tech for his give/keep read. He will pitch off the next defender.

Jet Concept Jet Trap Concept Jet Speed Concept Jet Zone Concept
From our base look, we crack with our wideout and put our pulling guard and our A back on the first threat from the inside out.
The QB will ride the jet back, pull the football and work through the frontside A Gap.
We will influence on the front side. If the tackle widens, our BSG will turn up and look to block first threat.
The frontside blocks jet and the backside blocks inside zone.
The QB will ride the jet and run a speed path out the back door.
