Slide 26 Digit Concept
* “962” *
The use of a three digit numbering system
allows 64 play calls using only four different
protections, four formations and four route
concepts, all of which have directional calls as
well. From this three digit concept, tags can be
added at the end of each to give a particular
receiver or set of receivers a route change
based on defensive schemes, i.e. “962 Razor”
