THE TRINITY OFFENSE
The THS Offense is built on three basic principles:
MULTIPLICITY MOVING THE CHAINS

•Attack with multiple personnel •Control and dictate game tempo by
groups, formations, and movement. sustaining first down after first down

THE UNCONQUERABLE SOUL
- a poem about mental toughness & trinity football-
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from Pole to Pole,
I thank My God for the Strength in me,
For my Unconquerable Soul.
In the fell clutch of Circumstance,
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the Bludgeonings of Chance,
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me, unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the Captain of my Soul.

The Huddle:
“A brief, efficient business meeting”
•How we conduct and break the huddle sets the tone for how we will play
once the ball is snapped…it must be disciplined, focused, and unified!
•The Center sets the location of the huddle, then calls the business
meeting to order by giving the down and distance situation.
•Sprint to it and out of it! Create TEMPO!
•Once the quarterback enters the huddle, he assumes COMPLETE
control of the business meeting. NO ONE else talks!
The Huddle:
“A brief, efficient business meeting”
1. Center sets the huddle, calls down and distance .
2. Substitutions sent from sideline, incoming subs call out personnel group or name of person being
subbed for. Replaced player exits ONLY when he sees his replacement approach the huddle!
3. Quarterback enters and takes control of the huddle, saying “eyes up.”
All ten men make eye contact with the Quarterback!
4. Quarterback calls formation, motion, and play . 11! 11!
5. QB does NOT give a cadence; it is
understood to be on “SET HIT” Z Y F H X Standing, shoulder to shoulder, hands behind back.

on “ROCKS!” and sprint to the
line of scrimmage . Ball •8 yards
Huddle Tempo
•We have two types of huddle tempo, and also two kinds of no-huddle
tempo! Each do a particular job in certain situations in a game!
•Our HUDDLE tempos are “Normal Huddle,”
Huddle and “Four Minute Huddle”
Huddle
–Normal Huddle:
Huddle Designed to keep us in normal game rhythm. We generally should
be out of the huddle by :15 on the play clock. Brisk, business-like pace.
–Four Minute Huddle:
Huddle Designed to protect a lead and run clock. Emphasis on staying
in bounds, protecting the ball, making first downs, no penalties! We will be out of the
huddle on normal time, but the QB will slow the pace of getting set, starting the
cadence with approximately :07 on the play clock!
•Our NO HUDDLE tempos are “On the Line”
Line and “Speed.”
Speed
–On the Line:
Line All calls are made on the L.O.S., but we’re not in a hurry. We can take
our time and manipulate defenses with the threat of running a play at any time.
Receivers move in to hear the play, then move out to their positions.
–Speed: Used to speed up the game and conserve time. All calls at the L.O.S., NO
dummy calls, NO motion! We can huddle if the clock is stopped if we choose.
From the Huddle to the Line:
“The Six Second Rule”
•The most important six seconds of a football play happen BETWEEN the
huddle and the line of scrimmage…how you prepare yourself during this
time will determine the success of the play!
•“The Six Second Rule” is a simple mental routine that each position has
that allows them to do their thinking before the play so that they can be
prepared, confident, and aggressive once the play begins, and be ready
for anything that might happen!
•The actual routine varies by position, but its basic elements are:
–WHAT IS MY JOB (or basic assignment) on this play?
–What, if anything, should I do with my ALIGNMENT to help me do this job?
–What is the DEFENSE’s basic alignment?
–Based on the defense I see, what will my FIRST 2-3 STEPS off the ball be?
–What ADJUSTMENTS might I have to make, based on the defense, to get my job done?
Basic Alignments
## ##
2’ 2’ 2’ 2’

6 F
“BASE” ALIGNMENTS & SPLITS
•Offensive Line: 2 foot splits!
•X: “Wide Receiver” position on the left, ON the ball, on the numbers
•Z: “Wide Receiver” position on the right, ON the ball, on the numbers
•H: Inside “Receiver” position on left, 4 yards outside T, OFF the ball
•Y: Inside “Receiver” position on right, 4 yards outside T, OFF the ball
•F: “Fullback” position, straight behind QB, 6 yards deep
The Cadence: Basic Information
•The cadence is a critical way for us to gain an edge! The team that gets off the
ball usually wins each play!
•Basic formula: Number/Number, Number/Number, “Set,” “Hit!”
–Example: “1-22, 4-66…1-22, 4-66…Set, HIT!”
–QB must call each set of numbers clearly to both sides!
–There will be a slight pause between ‘Set’ and ‘Hit’…offensive linemen and backs
must anticipate “HIT” right after set, and get off the ball on the H sound in “Hit!”
–Receivers always move only when they see the ball move!
•We can change or check to plays using a live number in the first digit
–In the above example (“1-22, 4-66”), if “1” were our live digit that week, the play
would be changed to “22”…if “4” were our live digit, the play would be changed to
“66.” If neither were live, then we have made a “dummy” call and the play is
unchanged.
The Cadence: Types
•Basic cadence:
*Unless we use a “False” cadence (see below), our plays will always be run on “Set Hit!” The
quarterback may use the number call prior to the “Set Hit” either as a dummy call or to change
the play, or he may go without the numbers and simply go on “Set Hit.” These two possibilities
would sound like this:
–Without number calls: “Set, Hit”
–With number calls (live or “dummy”) “2-17, 4-64 - 2-17, 4-64 - Set, Hit”
•“False” cadence:
–No play called in the huddle - just the formation and “False”
–We DO intend to run a play, but only after trying to draw the defense offside first!
–QB goes through normal cadence sequence with two “Hit” calls, then starts the cadence over
–QB will then go through a normal cadence sequence, using a live number to call the play.
–Ball is snapped on the first “HIT” of the second cadence!
–Example (Assume “3” is the live number of the week)
“1-65, 4-40 - 1-65, 4-40, Set HIT! HIT!…
“6-21, 3-74 - 6-21, 3-74, Set HIT!”
**Ball is snapped, “74” is run!

Gap Identification
Most all defenses base their schemes around the idea that they will defend “gaps,” or potential
holes between offensive linemen. Those “gaps” are labeled using letters, beginning with “A” and
working out in the following fashion:
E D D E
C B A A B C
“A” GAP - Between Center and Guard

“B” GAP - Between Guard and Tackle
“C” GAP - Between Tackle and Tight End
“D” GAP - Between Tight End and Wing
“E” GAP - Outside the Wing
Defensive Front “Techniques”
When identifying the location of players in the defensive front, we describe them in terms of the
“technique” they’re playing. Understanding these different locations, or “techniques” is critical to
us for a number of reasons:
*It provides a very strong clue as to what gap a man is responsible for, as well as the defenders around him
*It determines for linemen, in many cases, what their first two steps will be and how they’ll go about doing their job
*Often, it determines which way we’ll “check” a play to insure the best chances of success!
“6” “4” “2” “0” “2” “4” “6”

*Special note: Defenders aligned in a
linebacker position have a “0” added as
“8” “8”
a second digit to their technique. For
example, a linebacker aligned 4-5 yds
deep over a guard would be called a
“20” technique, or a “Deep 2” “7” “4i” “1” “1” “4i” “7”
“9” “5” “3” “Shade“” 3” “5” “9”

“0” Technique - Head up on the Center “4” Technique - Head up on a Tackle
“0 Cheat” or “Shade” - Aligned on one of C’s shoulders “5” Technique - Outside shoulder of tackle
“1” Technique - Inside shoulder of Guard “7” Technique - Inside shoulder of Tight End
“2” Technique - Head up on a Guard “6” Technique - Head up on a Tight End
“3” Technique - Outside shoulder of a Guard “9” Technique - Outside shoulder of a Tight End
“4i” Technique - Inside shoulder of Tackle “8” Technique - Head up on a Wing player
Defensive “Cores”
The next step in identifying defenses is to classify the front structure in terms of its “core.” The
“core” refers to the how defenders are aligned within the “A” and “B” gaps. There are only four
basic cores, as identified by the Center at the line of scrimmage, and they provide a great deal of
information as to how the rest of the defense is being played around it and how we want to block!
The cores are named and identified as follows:
V V V V V
V V V V V V V V
-Center has a down lineman -Center has a down lineman -Center has no down -Center has no down
on him (0 or Shade) on him (0 or Shade) lineman on him, but both lineman on him, but both

MOTION:
Moving Players to Spots on the Field
9 7 5 4 6 8
COMMUNICATING MOTION
The way we do this is to simply say WHO we want to go in motion
(H, Y, F, X, or Z)
and WHERE on the field we want him to end up.
The “spots” on the field we can send motion men are numbered IN
CONJUNCTION WITH OUR HOLE NUMBERS as follows:
MOTION:
H 4
For example, if the phrase “H4” is added on to the end of a formation, we are
literally saying,
“H, line up as the formation calls, then go in motion to the 4 spot.”
MOTION:
9 Y
Or, if the phrase “Y9” is added on to the end of a formation, we are literally saying,
“Y, line up as the formation calls, then go in motion to the 9 spot.”
MOTION:
*Technique note: On most motion, the motion man should use a “shuffle” technique
as he completes his course. In other words, as he gets to the final 2-3 steps prior to
reaching his “spot,” he squares his shoulders to the line of scrimmage and shuffles,
allowing him to attack defenders more effectively and maintain the timing of plays.

RUNNING GAME “FAMILIES”
•The easiest way to learn the running game is to understand that all of our runs basically
fall into one of 4 “families,” or “schemes,” or basic ways we assign people to block!
•These basic families are: “Gap,” “Zone,” “Reach,” and “Base.” If you know which of
these families a play falls into, you have a pretty good idea how we’re going to get
defenders blocked!
•In GAP family plays, frontside blockers block back one “Gap,” looking for the opportunity to
double team combo on defensive linemen back to linebackers. We will pull one or two blockers
from the backside to kick out and/or lead through the hole frontside.
•46-47 Counter and 16-17 Counter Trey are our “Gap” plays
•In ZONE family plays, covered and uncovered linemen work together to get movement on a
defensive lineman, working up to the nearest linebacker, stepping frontside to do so.
•42-43 and 18-19 Option are our “Zone” plays
•In REACH family plays, all linemen “reach” one gap to their frontside, looking to “Reach and
Overtake” a down lineman in front of him, or “Reach, Rip, and Run” on a wide railroad track to
intersect a flowing linebacker.
•44-45 Stretch, 28-29 Jet, and 48-49 Toss are our “Reach” plays
•On BASE blocked plays, linemen drive block the lineman or linebacker over them. It is
generally a “man on man” scheme. Generally, the H-Back is assigned to block a linebacker
frontside…the lineman whose LB is taken by H blocks backside, potentially using a “Slam and
Slide” on his way.
•12-13 Draw, 21-22 Blast, 23-24 Blast, and 25-26 Lead are ”Base” plays.

12-13 “DRAW”
“Base” Family
•12 & 13 Draw take advantage of linebackers who get into
their pass drops too deep too quickly, opening up running
lanes in front of them!
•This is primarily a play we will run against 5 defenders in
the box, unless the 6th defender (a LB) really removes
himself quickly!
•The basic rule for all linemen is to show pass for one count by raising their chest and

16-17 “Counter Trey”
“Gap” Family
•16 & 17 Counter Trey is a “meat and potatoes” play that
gives us good blocking angles on the frontside and power
through the hole with two pullers from the backside at the
point of attack!
•We generally like to run this play to a 3 technique side to
allow us to get a strong double team to open up the hole!
•This play will always be successful if we do two things: Get MOVEMENT on frontside
double teams, and SHUT OFF backside penetration!
•We can and will use a variety of sets and motion to get different people in a position
to help SEAL the backside!
•This play should be very good on any down, at any spot on the field if we execute!

•Frontside blockers are patient on double teams and get movement. •“Double” (FS)
•The C and backside Slot shut down penetration! •“Double Lock” (FS)
•Pulling linemen run full speed courses! •“Arc” (TE)

18-19 “Option”
“Zone” Family
•18-19 Option is an all-purpose, simple Option play that
allows us to improve our blocking angles by “optioning” a
defender (the End Man On the Line of Scrimmage) instead
of blocking him!
•This is a very useful play against any type of man-under
coverage, and will be one of our #1 checks at the line of
scrimmage away from an overloaded side…it gives us an
easy way to take advantage of defensive mistakes!
•We can use 18-19 in a number of situations depending on what we’re seeing
defensively, but it can certainly be an effective Red Zone play, Goal Line play, and is a
great tool on any blitz down!

•21-22, 23-24, and 25-26 are all hardball plays that employ

back sets where a man in motion acts as the second back!
•21-22 and 23-24 are referred to as “Blast” plays because the H-Back leads up on the

“Reach” Family
•28-29 Jet is a FAST way to attack the perimeter and get an
athlete running in open space! The pace of the play makes
blocking for frontside linemen much easier! The angles
involved make pursuit for enemy linebackers much harder!
•Ball carriers must recognize that, while blocked like other
“Reach” family plays, this is different for them because it is
a true SPRINT to the corner! We do not want to cut up on
this play until we’ve reached the edge of the field!
•We can use a number of formation variations and perimeter blocking adjustments to
“shorten” the defensive edge and help the outside blockers do their jobs more
effectively! “Crack,” “Door,” and “Ed” schemes are examples of this, as are different
types of “Squeeze” sets.
•Anytime we face a team that relies on interior blitzes, doesn’t pursue well, or has
limited team speed, we will run this play heavily. It can be used from Goalline to

42-43
“Zone” Family
•42-43 is a true “Inside Zone” play in which covered and
uncovered linemen “team” to double and get movement on
a down defensive man, and step off to a linebacker late!
This allows us to push the line of scrimmage back and give
the ball carrier running lanes!
•This is a persistence play…it forces the linebackers to be
perfect every time. Many times it will go for 3, 4, and 5
yards a number of times in a row, then suddenly start to
break for big chunks as we wear people down!
•The ball carrier must be patient initially to let the play develop! The longer he can
“press” the play into the L.O.S., the longer the double teams have to get movement,
and the more the LBs will move and create running lanes! However, once he makes
his cut the running back must explode into another gear and get through the hole!.
•The simplicity of the blocking rules allows us to run this play against any front we see
with minimal adjustments…it also means we can run it from any formation!
•OL talks at the L.O.S. & gets “married up” to defenders properly! •“Team”
•Linemen get movement on down linemen and don’t step off double •“Solo”

44-45 “Stretch”
“Reach” Family
•44-45 is one of our “core” or “bread and butter” plays! It
gets us to the edge of the field with a lot of power!
•The basic premise of the play is to get our entire backfield
and line on a wide railroad track, force the defense to
stretch quickly, then either beat them to a corner with a
show of force or cut up into a lane that they create when
they pursue incorrectly!
•We can use a number of formation variations and perimeter blocking adjustments to
“shorten” the defensive edge and help the outside blockers do their jobs more
effectively! “Crack,” “Door,” and “Alley” schemes are examples of this, as are

46-47 “Counter”
“Gap” Family
•46-47 Counter is our ATTITUDE play! It is the run that we
will establish against any defense each game no matter
what they try and do to us! We will be so good at this play
that we can impose it on any defense!
•The basic idea of the play is to block down one gap on the
frontside to get good angles and create a wall, and pull
from the backside to kick out the defensive end to divide
the defense! The running back must set up the block on the
end, use the down blocks on linebackers, and make a
strong cut North and South through the hole!
•Because of the angles involved, we prefer to run this play to the 1 technique!
•This is a goalline to goalline play! It is most effective against LBs who overreact to
their initial key, and D Ends who play too far upfield. We can run it from virtually any
of our sets, 1- or 2-back!

•Frontside linemen take a GREAT 1st STEP to their gap to shut off •“H”

•The “Toss” is an effective companion to the 44-45 Stretch
play. The blocking is exactly the same up front, but the
method of delivering the ball different! It allows us to
challenge the edge of the defensive front just a bit quicker!
•This play is an excellent way to attack LBs who do not fast
flow and/or read keys well!
•Like 28-29 Jet, Toss can use a number of formation variations and perimeter blocking
adjustments to “shorten” the defensive edge and help the outside blockers do their
jobs more effectively! “Crack,” “Door,” “Cross,” and “Ed” schemes are examples of
this, as are different types of “Squeeze” sets. Receivers must make use of these for
the play to be successful!

on the frontside or backside! They must also realize that MOTION by
themselves or others can change their position!
BACKSIDE ROUTES
•On the backside of any route, we
will always have one player working
the NUMBERS area of the field...
## 12-14 yds S S ..and a player working the HASH area.
Make break (2 yards on either side of the hash)
(if any) here
•The player working the Numbers is
assigned a “GO READ,” and the
player on the hash is assigned a
C “SEAM READ.”
8-10 yds
Make your decision here! •The GO READ bases his break on
what the Cornerback does...
..and the SEAM READ works off the
nearest Safety, whether he starts in the
middle of the field or near the hash.
•The KEYS:
•Be DECISIVE--make a decision and
go! (Don’t give the QB a “no read!”)
•Stay out of the other receiver’s area!
•Great Backside routes are critical!
Rules / Reads BIG plays happen on the back side!
GO READ: Attack the outside leg of the CB over you, break his cushion, and plan on beating him deep...
…at 8 yards, if you determine that you can’t get deep, break back inside, working toward QB’s vision,
but NEVER crossing the hash! (Rule: “If you’re even, you’re leavin’”...go by him deep)
SEAM READ.
READ. Must release cleanly & avoid underneath LBs. Regain “verticality,” read S & make decision between 8 & 10
yds …if the safety rotates away from you,
you, leaving the middle, stay on your vertical course!
…if the safety stays deep over top of you,
you, break flat across the middle (“DIG”) at 12-14, look for a hole
…if he opens quickly to you & crosses your face (most likely f/ hash), cross his--break
his--break to a Thin Post inside him

“VERTICAL”
•The basic premise of this play is to attack deep coverage
with the threat of four people running vertical along four
evenly-spaced landmarks across the field (2 hashmarks, 2
sets of numbers)…in general, this allows us to outnumber
deep coverage!
•It is one of our favorite plays against any single safety look,
particularly Cover 3, because it gives us a two-on-one
situation against the Free Safety!
•Generally, the QB works to influence the nearest safety to the frontside, which serves
to isolate the backside receivers, allowing them to beat the man they work off of!
•We will use this route heavily in conjunction with Play Action, to hold linebackers
underneath, influence the safety, and open voids for vertical receivers to run in!
•The 0 Route can be used anywhere, but is particularly effective as a Play Action route
on first down, and an excellent all-around call on the outer edge of the Red Zone!
KEYS to a successful play: TAGS/VARIATIONS

•Inside receivers avoid contact underneath & get vertical! •FB Slow
•Receivers take good splits and attack along their landmark! •F Slot Split
•Backside Receivers make good reads and make them decisively! •42-43-44-45 Play Action

1 Route:
“GO”
•The 1 Route is our basic Curl/Arrow combination that
allows us to put pressure on the flat defender in a zone
defense!
•The basic idea behind the play is to widen the flat defender
with an “Arrow” route from the inside, then throw to the
outside receiver, who gets into the void left by that defender
with a “Post Curl” route. A “Corner” route can be inserted
into the middle to create a “triangle” and keep the
cornerback off the back of the Post Curl!
•The built-in Switch rule on the backside gives us an important outlet, as well as a big
play possibility should any safeties over-commit!
•We will use this route heavily in conjunction with Play Action, to hold linebackers
underneath, influence the safety, and open voids for vertical receivers to run in!
•The 0 Route can be used anywhere, but is particularly effective as a Play Action route
on first down, and an excellent all-around call on the outer edge of the Red Zone!
•Post Curl creating space with a good, wide split! •Squeeze/Bunch Concept
•The Arrow route getting width quickly to force the flat defender to •26-27-42-43 Play Action

2 Route:
“SMASH”
•The “Smash” route is a very versatile route that, like the 7
route, puts intense pressure on the Cornerback by placing a
receiver in front of him at 6 yards (the “Smash” by the
Outside Receiver) and a man breaking behind him to the
“Corner” (Middle Receiver). It also allows us to control
rotating or hash safeties through the use of a “Seam/Thin”
by the Inside Receiver!
•This is a great package for us against any Cover 2/Cover 4 shell, as well as having
excellent possibilities against various forms of man coverage because of the
mismatches we can create on the inside!
•The 2 route is a solid answer for a number of situations, including 3rd and medium, 2
minute, and Red Zone!

•Good release, eye contact, and snap from Corner route! •Horn
•QB must be persistent about throwing the Smash on time! Don’t •Squeeze/Bunch package

4 Route:
“OPTION”
•The 4 route is an ATTITUDE play! That means that we are
going to impose this play on the defense and make it work
regardless of what the defense does!
•This play takes advantage of the fundamental mismatch
between an inside receiver and a LB/SS, isolating him, then
breaking away from underneath coverage with room to run
after the catch.
•The other frontside receivers play critical roles! The outside man must recognize if
his CB is falling off him to cover the Flat route and exploit the “Pocket” for big plays if
he does! The middle receiver must create an effective rub/barrier to help the Flat get
open, then look for an open crease in the Seam!
•Again, we can literally use this route anywhere on the field, but it will be particularly
emphasized for sure completions on 1st down, to move the chains on 3rd & 6 or less,
going into the End zone, and even as a “4 minute” possession pass to protect leads!

5 Route:
“BEND”
•The 5 Route is a form of a “Flood” pattern that is used to
overload zone coverages, but is also useful against Man
coverage as well!
•A “triangle” is created to stress the defense both vertically
and horizontally with a Go route (outside receiver), a Bend
route (inside receiver) and an Arrow route (middle receiver).
The result of this triangle, if we space ourselves properly,
is that 2 defenders are forced to cover 3 of us!
•Spacing is the key! The Go must create width with a wide split, and then push the top
off the defense by clearing out full speed! The Arrow must also create width quickly
and force a decision by the underneath coverage! The Bend must use a short split
and good angles to work into voids!
•This is a tremendous route to convert 3rd and long situations…it is also useful at
certain times in the outer to middle portions of the Red Zone!

6 Route:
“CHOICE”
•The Choice Route is one of the primary ways we have to
isolate an outside receiver! He then has the freedom to
choose one of two routes (Slant or Out) that give him the
best chance to get open based on what his CB does!
•The 6 route provides an excellent “counter attack” vs.
defenses that overload to three receiver sides!
•Backside receivers are critical to this play…they are very much in the QB’s thought
process and must use good splits and make good decisions to make themselves
available!
•Play action is a tremendous way to vary this play, causing hesitation by the frontside
linebacker(s) we’re attacking and opening up throwing lanes for the frontside Choice
and the backside Drag!
•This is one of our top ways to convert 3rd and long situations with easy throws! The
backside routes also make it a viable Red Zone option!

7 Route:
“SWITCH”
•This route gives us an excellent way to attack the edges of
the field by putting one man in front of the CB (an Out route)
and another behind him (Corner route).
•This is one of the best ways we have to attack man
coverage, because both frontside routes are difficult to
cover, and we can create mismatches by formation!
•This is a great 3rd and Long package, and an excellent scoring route in the Red Zone
all the way down to approximately the 10 yard line!
KEYS to a successful play:

• Smart splits by the Out and the Corner.
TAGS/VARIATIONS
• Sharp, “clean” breaks by both frontside receivers. •67-77 “Cross”
• Correct spacing by the frontside receivers so that the CB
cannot be allowed to play both of them!

QB: Most important part of play is pre-snap. First, ID coverage. If CBs are soft, choose the side with the least threatening
danger player (1st short defender). If CBs are tight and head up to inside, go to the side where the safety help is furthest
away, wide side of field if in doubt. If the CBs are tight and outside (Cover 2), work the short side unless you have a
compelling reason to do otherwise.
Drop is normal 90 drop, three steps. Read is CB regardless of coverage. If he backs up, hit Quick Out on 3d step without a
Hitch up. If CB closes/sits, hitch up and hit Corner behind him. Throw will be FIRM v. 2 or 4, LOFTED against 0, 1, 3.
8 Route:
“SNAG”
•The “Snag” route attacks the underneath edge of a
defense very rapidly, often from a “squeezed” environment.
•The middle receiver is used to clear things out while the
outside and inside receivers cross paths and distribute
themselves to pressure the flat defender inside and out, or
to create a natural pick for one or the other.
•A wide variety of “tags” or small adjustments can be made to different receivers in
the pattern to take advantage of defensive overreaction, or to make the Mesh useful in
different situations! It can also be employed from almost any pass action in our
offense (Play Action, Bootleg, etc.)!
•The “Snag” and its variations will be one of the most useful routes we have
throughout the Red Zone and against any type of man coverage! It is also an excellent
“move the chains” play on 3rd and anything up to 7.

9 Route:
“SLANT”
•The “Slant” is a versatile route that allows us to isolate an
outside LB/SS in a two-on-one situation and hit receivers on
the move! It is generally used from a “90” action, meaning
it will be mirrored most of the time.
•The Inside & Outside Slants on both sides must use good
spacing, both through their pre-snap splits and the angle of
their break, to ensure that we get our 2 on 1 (in other words,
so the man we’re isolating can’t cover both), and to help the
QB get a clear view of his read!
•The Slant is designed to hold up against all coverages, but it is especially effective
against Cover 2, Cover 1, and can be a deadly weapon against Blitz Cover 0!
•The Slant is a good way to convert 3rd and medium, get us back on schedule in 2nd
and long, has potential for use near the Goalline, and can even be a way to challenge
for a first down on 3rd and long without having to hold the ball!

Route Packages
•We have a series of passes that are not assigned a

protection, then call the name of the route! In addition to
the name, we will also add a word to tell H what to do!

“90” SERIES:
Key Ideas
•The “90” Series is a series of quick patterns that use a 3-
step drop! These routes should be thrown in 1.5 to 1.7
seconds! They allow us to attack defenses on fast rhythm!
•The pattern rules we use for the 90 series are the same as
in our 60-70 package, with some key considerations:
1. A “90” pass means that all routes are mirrored. In other
CLICK FOR A DETAILED words, both sides use “frontside” rules, and there are no
DESCRIPTION OF ANY 90 ROUTE: backside “Seam” or “Go” Reads!
2. Many breaks are shortened because the ball is being
98 92 95 thrown quicker. Any break that happens at 12 yards in the
60 and 70 series (e.g., a Corner), is run at 6 or 7 yards in the
Back to 90 series. Breaks that happen at 10 yards in 60-70 are
97 99 T of C shortened to 5 in the 90 series. Breaks normally 6 or
shorter stay the same!
•Following are the primary routes we will adapt to the “90” Series:
–92:
92 Outside receivers Smash, Inside receivers run Seams, possible Middle receiver Corner @6

50 SERIES
Bootlegs
•All “50” Series passes are “Bootlegs,” meaning we are
going to fake a run in one direction, and roll the QB
opposite the fake! These are excellent plays against LBs
who overpursue against our best running plays!
•All receivers use the same route rules for all 50 series
passes (Post, Over, Pin Flat, Go Pocket)! Frontside
receivers are those lined up to the side of the fake (right on
even last digits such as 52 and 56, left on odd last digits);

60-70
Half Roll Protection
•60-70 is our basic, half-roll protection. The QB will
ordinarily set up 6 yards deep behind the inside leg of the
frontside tackle!
•The basic premise of the protection is to be “Big on Big”
with “Back on Backers.” In other words, as much as
possible, we want linemen assinged to block defensive
linemen, and back(s) assigned to linebackers!
•Technique-wise, this is a “Reach and Hinge” protection. In other words, the frontside
linemen must reach to the frontside pec of their man and be firm to give the QB a clear
throwing lane…backside linemen “Hinge” back using a 1/4 turn because the QB’s set-
up point allows them to give ground as long as they maintain inside leverage! The
Center acts like a frontside lineman if covered (Reach), or a backside lineman if
uncovered (Hinge)!

•The QB gets to his proper set-up point at the proper time! •Solid
•The frontside stays firm and does not give ground! •“Zone Across”
•The Center and BS players take great first steps to insure against •“Pocket”
Slants and Stunts and establish proper leverage! •Tied to 42-43, 25-26, 28-29 action
•The FB does a great job with his eyes and is physical.
