QB wil allow shifting players to shift and reset before snapping of the football. In calling shifts, the shift word will be located before the formation we will end up in. Ex. Shift Hawk Right, Flex Rex, Stem Left. SHIFT - change of formation by backs lining up in one formation and moving to another. STEM - change of formation by TE lining up on one side of formation, stepping back off the line of scrimmage, moving to the opposite side of the formation as if he is in motion, and then resetting on the opposite side of the formation. This can make it more difficult for the defense to adjust their alignment. TRADE - change of formation by TE lining up on one side of the formation and shifting directly to the opposite side. FLEX - change of formation by TE lining up in one position and shifting in or out to another position. wSHIFTS COe@00 oc@eco CC@00 C0@00 oO °DEFENSIVE RECOGNITIONDefensive Alignment morro mopro 97 64 311 8,8 ,O,O oo) oO 13 46 ,%8,@, ZERO TECHNIQUE - Head up on Center SHADE - Either shoulder of the Center 1 TECHNIQUE — Inside shoulder of Guard 2.

These zones are based on what specific Coverage is called. Coverage zones are broken into deep and underneath greas. The deep area can be broken up three ways: 1/3's (Odd Coverage); 1/2's (Even Coverage); 1/4's Even Coverage), The undemeath zones consist of 2 flats, 2curs and ahook area or 5 zones. Coverages are designed to defend these areas. A coverage called is often consistent with the front called by a defense. Understanding coverage responsibilities and technique is a major advantage in having a consistent passing attack since all pass coverages have vuinerable areas. 33COVER O . é § §s ‘Ss $ 1 Ol do ¥ BLITZ COVERAGE MAN-TO-MAN 6 MAN RUSH ss < row 8 dé fodadoif 5 MAN FREE 5 MAN RUSHCOVER 1 ROBB: dé ‘odgdd ci & MAN FREE ONE LB & FS FREE COVER 1 LURK —-.
