How We Call a Defense
We are a no huddle defense. Everyone will look to
the sideline to get the hand signals. The Liz
linebacker will call out the defensive strength
(Right/Left). The signals will come in as
followed

• Front Our base front is a 40 front. If no front
  is called we will automatically align in a 40
  front. If I want a 50, 30, Heads, Under or Stack
  I will signal it.
• Slant/Twist 2nd we will signal in any line
  slant or stunt if wanted.
• Blitz 3rd we will signal in any Blitz if
  wanted.
• Coverage Finally we will signal in our
  coverage.

10
Strength Call

• We will not signal in the strength call. We will
  automatically align to
• Field Call If the ball is on the hash mark we
  will always make field calls. A field call is
  always to the wide side of the field.
• Strong Call If the ball is in the middle of the
  field we will make strong calls. A strong call
  will always be to the strength of the formation.

preparing to defend an opposing offense. Teams
will have definite tendencies based on the

the personnel by using a number system. 1st

0 Engage This is a man coverage with no deep
safety help. Since we are not accounting for the
RB in the coverage we will use an engage
technique. If the RB goes through your gap or
swings to the outside the LB or Defensive Linemen
blitzing that gap or off the edge will come off
of the blitz and engage the RB man to man.
