Hanau 2006

They call us “Barbarians”

History will call us “Conquerors”...
Attila
Time to Boom! Boom!
 Why and How we will win
• The Offense is based on two principles
• 1. The Big Bang Theory expand and collapse then do it
again.
“Mass tightly collapsed will exploded at a certain point, the
problem is we really don´t know what that point is?”…
Oppenheimer.

2. Confusion, make the defense spend its energy trying to

figure out what we are going to do, instead of doing what
they are suppose to do.
 The 4 base Offenses
• The Hornets Offense will run on 4 basic
Offensive Systems:
• 1. Double Tight
• 2. Pistol bone
• 3. Voodoo Bone
• 4. The I
• We will view the running game primarily and then
finish with the passing game

speed

 DT
• The Double tight will be have three major effects.
• 1. to Tighten the Defense and put 8 people in the box to
stop the run, thus opening the pass attack our “Check
to Red”. If the running attacks works we continue till it
runs out of steam.
• 2. To use the 4 receivers in the short passing game with
the play-action and jet motions with sweeps and
eventually break the big one . Because of these Play-
action the blitzes get rare.
• 3. To eat the clock. Take our time “heck” the universe
is 14 billion years old!
 DT 32 /35 IZ and the check to RED
the RB takes a step out waits and reads the Inside Zone, if it is sealed he
cutback to the 5 hole. Notice our two WR always Crack -backing inside
WHAT IS THE CHECK TO RED?

• This our base run in the DT

O-line two point stance- always

looks high hat they block the IZ to
the run side and in pass fence
block.
 CHECK TO RED PASSES
when the run is a no- go we check to red
• We use a check to red to throw 3 distinct passes
out of the DT
• Red 17/18- this is a stretch to the RB to the 7 or 8 hole
• Red 65/66- this is all comebacks either inside or
outside- we use STEMMING which is have the outside
receivers sell fade by running inside to turn the hips of
the defender or outside
• Red 67/68 pass this is a flood route with a shallow
which we call a snap but just a bit deeper 6 to 8 yards.

 Mass gets critical
• WE have been using the DT32/35 IZ and the Check to
Red and now we start the chain reaction.
• The Jet sweeps and the Play action off them.
• WE run these Jets three fold:
• A. The Jet sweep it self, causing shift by the defense toward the
sweep, by rotating coverage or dragging the CB with the Motion.
• B. The Dive by the 3 back of the Jet, causing the Inside
Linebacker or backers to stay put before they react to the sweep.
• C. The play-action pass and the backside deep threat. We let the
team adjust to the sweep and the dive, then the BS TE release
deep for the first rumbles of the BIG BANG!
 8 Jet Speedgo 2-3-pass/keep
The Jet by the 2 is easy he starts his motion at the QB´signal, he runs full out, the Qb reads him
from the corner of his eyes and turns away from him for the hand off. The PS Tackle pulls the O-
line OZ blocks. The 3 back Dives at the 3 hole and the QB Boots.The call can be 2 speedgo-33 dive
or Boot on a audible-Gold normal- Blue dive-Red pass/keep.

The Play can be run 4 ways. 1- the speedgo give the ball to the 2 back on the Jet motion.
2. Give the ball to the 3 back on the 33 dive. 3. QB boots for run or backside pass to TE
or 4. The QB keeps and runs-The Chain Reaction

 Phase 2
“THE PISTOL”
THE BANG
• The Pistol is the SPREAD of the DT
We will run only 1 pass formation out of this Offense and
that will be the WAHOO(trips)
We will force then to read the 3 back and the QB.
This will be done by giving a play the same look but being
able to run inside and outside with it, while also being
able to pass. We will PAW (play-action) every play.
WE will make the Defense adjust to our game plan not
theirs.
 How we will do it
• The PISTOL -is a Choice Offense, this means we run or pass on
these plays.
• The PISTOL Offense will have only 5 running Plays and 4 passing
Plays and 1 Screen. All are PAW(play-action)
• The “checks to”are- Orange (from Pass to Run- IZ block) 32 IZ
(Y/2 Mesh X-8 Z-Ohio)
• Red (from run to pass- Fence Block )
• Kentucky(Y/2 Mesh X-8 Z-Ohio)

• Gold is normal and Blue is opposite

 Passing Rules and the calls
• First the Y has only three routes he will run and two special
routes/Kentucky/suicide
• The Snaps are always toward the QB as he rolls out of the play

 What the Voodoo Bone does.
• Our VB will give us the threat of the triple Option.
2. RB – running the Backside B-gap line- this makes the Defense
play this first.- forcing read on the runs
3. QB has the ability to pull (run and keep) and hit the 6/8 hole.
This forces the SS and DE on that side to play a wide game of
containment,
4. Passes- constant and mirrors routes run by the receivers and
our X-in his E choice backside route, makes them either go to
cover 1 or cover 2- 5 in the box we always run then! If they
double team a WR then someone has to be free!

• The Red Zone Offense will be built on these three

offense running and passing scheme.
• 1. Nebraska I- Power and Paw passing
• 2. Spread formations Passing and Screens and

 RED ZONE PASSES

• VB/ PISTOL RED ZONE PASSES

• 1. 2222 (outside READ ) pass
• 2. OO Ohio (inside READ)pass
• These passes we must STEM OUTSIDE so the DEFENDER has
to be Baited into thinking that it is a fade so he can turn his hips.
• If inside defenders stay Look to hitches then outside QBZ
• If inside Defenders sit Then break outside3
• Think of them as mini IOWAS- remember we only need 5 yards
receivers.
• QB´s IN PISTOL Hit the 31/32 and Roll to side you will throw too.
• VB ARE NOT PAW- PISTOLS are PAW
• We will run the VB colt IZ also to keep them honest!

Goal Line Offense

We use this offense from the 5 yard line
1. We have two basic formations on the Goal line FULL HOUSE Wide and the
FULL HOUSE.
2. We run only 3 plays from both of these formations.
• a. the FULL HOUSE we run the 27 SWEEP X and the 38 sweep Y
• b. 11 /12 WEDGE
• c. Gold Gate(QB sneak)
3. We pass only 3 plays from these formations.
• a. The Wide we pass X SNAP pass or the Y SNAP pass
• b. The FULL HOUSE we pass X pass or the Y pass
• c. PAW 11/12 BATMAN PASS
4. Blocking schemes for the O-line are simple:
rule is as follows.
• A. Passes Man / always try the Cut
• B.Wedge the Block the Man inside and drive to make room for the 1 back- same in

 The Passing Game

The Passing game will be used in three variations

• The short game. 4 to 8 passes thrown, our goal is always get the
1st down. These will be thrown out of the DT- VB-Pistol and I.
• The backside game. Our world famous E route- we will wait
and throw when it get set up. This is our big play make.
• Zone area attack or ZA.
ZA Hitting an area where the coverage is
weak, or cleared by a receiver followed by a second receiver, or
not covered.
We will think short-screen-1st down-Td…

QB

We will use the Passing Attack Zone with rollouts and one step drops by QB to make
our short passing game tighter and our ability to make 1st down conversions on any
down and 2 or 3 yards to first. We will throw on any down, this will make the
Defense respect the pass and place them into a read defense again stopping the
attack and giving us time and space to run our offense.
Receivers will be given area to be in by the QB and the Pass coordinator. Notice
 How does ZA work?
Easy- if you look at the chart you can see what routes apply- how and
where we can run these routes.
2. We set formation or motion to this route
3. Or we use a set pass play to get there.
This lets the QB and WR as well as the OC know what we are doing and
where we are going.
Receivers we can only win the passing game if we are on the same page,
and know the same material-this street football changing of plays
confuses team-mates and destroys momentum. If you do not
trust what you have practiced then you might as well not play!
• BASE PASSING PLAYS
• Our Passing game has two goals
• 1. 1st down conversions- ON ANY DOWN ANY SITUATION!
• 2. TD´s
• For us to do this we must catch balls always if you can touch it you can catch it, and
when you catch it you run up field.
• We have five kinds of pass attack plays.
1. SHORT( 6 to 8 yards)---Zone Passing / passing/ Play action/flash
2. MID LEVEL (9 to 12 yards)---Zone Passing/ passing/ Play Action
• 3. DEEP (13 to 25 yards)---Passing/ Play Action
• 4. RED ZONE- from the 20 to the 5 yard line
• 5. SNAPS- in the 5 yard line
• Screens are in the running game, even though we pass to them we see them as pitches.
• Almost all these Base Passing plays can be run out of all Offensive formations.
• Call is X-Y-Z-2 –3

 Flashes

• What are Flashes? Simply they are passes thrown to WR

when they are covered soft when the CB is playing them
at 5 to 7 yards off the LOS.
• These can be called by Green our Hot call.
• The progression is Left to right 1-2-3-4
• So green 11 would be the 1st WR to left side
• We will use these to take the 8/7 defenders in the box and
reduce it to 6/5 to enhance the running game.

PAWS from Voodoo Bone

Our PAW(PLAY-ACTION) Pass plays are built on 3 systems in the Voodoo Bone:
These are always in the ZONE READ BASE option play.

1.Mirrors( both sides of the Offense running Identical routes)

1.Constants( one side always runs 89/21/65/wheel-2) Backside X runs E choice and 2 is open
call(not made yet)
2.Pass Plays made just for PASSING GAME in VB.
Otherwise we are blocking down-field and giving our RB´s the protection and support they need.

MIRRORS- these our our Mirror Patterns. These are run on colts-Thunderbirds-single tights-DT´s
and in Pistols.

2. Rocket Screen/ Inside/ Outside
3. Middle Screen
4. Sometimes a bubble route in front of LOS will be used
These screens are made for the offense as a 5 yard weapon. Do not see them as a pass
but a long pitch.
We will use screens as 15% of our running game. RB´s and Receivers will have a screen
in every formation.
