How the Play Is Called

• Motion (possible)
• Formation
• Play-call
• Blocking (master call in run game)
• Pass pattern (in passing game)
• Protection (in passing game)
• Snap count
• Red (on one), white (on two), blue (on three)

52
What the Call Would Sound Like If It Were a Run
Play

• Queen right Fly 24 lead on one, on one
  ready break.
• Queen right would be the formation we want to
  start in.
• Fly would be the motion.
• 24 lead tells the HB (2) to go through the 4
  hole and the blocking scheme is slam.
• Vs a 50 front, the probable line call would be
  Den.
• On one tells everyone the snap count is on one.
• If a player forgot the snap count at the line of
  scrimmage, he would say check check and he
  would be told white.

54
What the Call Would Sound Like If It Were a Pass
Play

• Split left slot Zoom 414 swing / v - Quick,
  on three, on three ready break
• Split left slot means we want to line up in a
  split left z slot formation
• Zoom tells the Z receiver to go in motion across
  the formation
• 414 tells the single receiver (X) to run a curl
  route, the inside receiver on the two-receiver
  side (Y) to run a flat route, and the outside
  receiver on the two-receiver side to run a curl
  route.

55
What the Call Would Sound Like If It Were a Pass
Play.

• Swing / v tells the H back to run a swing route
  and the F back to run a v route
• Quick tells the line to zone the quick-side and
  man the strong-side. This will release the back
  on the quick-side into the pattern right away.
  The remaining back on the strong side will check
  release into the pattern
• On three tells everyone the snap count is on
  three.
• If we wanted to audible to a different play, blue
  is the live color for a pass play and green is
  the hot color for a run play.
