QB Footwork And The Mesh Ø If The back is crossing the QB, the QB will take a flat step toward the back. We call this Flat Step, Short Step. Ø He reaches the ball deep and feels the belly of the back, snapping his eyes to his read. Ø He rides the back through while making his read. Ø “Squeeze and Chase, Pull and Replace”

RB Footwork And The Mesh Ø The back aligns 1. 5 to 2 yards behind the QB, straddling the outside leg of the guard. Ø If the back is crossing the QB, he will take a step opposite the QB, then get downhill. Ø He must make a deep pocket, with the top palm up. Ø The back must feel the QB read, and not snatch at the football.

Reading The Backside 5 Ø This is the whole concept that began our craze with the gun offense Ø The offense does not have to block a backside player Ø This allows us to get one more lineman to the second level Ø Allows us to put 5 techniques in conflict

Why Read The Backside 5? We get one more blocker to the second level

Why Read The Backside 5? We get one more blocker to the second level We allow the offense to always give the ball to the right player Ø We put the 5 technique in conflict, and 5 techniques tend to be very good players Ø We allow the 5 tech to see several different looks Ø The defensive line must practice facing multiple looks Ø We give ourselves a chance to be successful against a stud by having him take himself out of the game Ø Ø

Read the Backside 5 Technique The main concept that started the whole phenomenon with

Read the Backside 5 Technique The main concept that started the whole phenomenon with the gun is the ability of quarterbacks to read the backside 5 technique. The QB will read the backside 5 technique. This allows the backside tackle to work up to the second and third level. Under center, the quarterback is not able to read the backside 5 technique, he is working uphill. From the gun, the QB can read the backside 5 tech and use his rule. QB’s Rule: Squeeze and Chase, pull and replace. If the 5 technique squeezes the tackle’s release and chases the back the quarterback is meshing with, the QB will pull the football and replace the 5 technique. This is a way of reminding the QB to get downhill. If the 5 tech does anything else, the QB gives the ball and carries out a downhill run fake to hold the pursuit. We drill this with our MESH DRILL. The QB’s and running backs work together getting their mesh down, while the QB reads the 5 tech. . We vary how the 5 technique plays in each situation as we drill the mesh and read. Mesh Drill DE C If the DE squeezes and chases, the QB will pull the ball and replace the DE. We want the QB to get downhill. If the DE sits at home, or goes upfield, the QB will give the ball and continue a downhill run fake. QB RB

The QB/RB Mesh QB gets his eyes to his read Always simulate a snap The QB is giving the football as the 5 technique is coming up field. This is a great view of the quarterback’s footwork on the mesh. You can see the angle of his feet allowing the back to cross in front.

Reading the Backside 5 Tech When we read the backside 5 tech, the back

Reading the Backside 5 Tech When we read the backside 5 tech, the back will align opposite the call side. The back will step opposite the QB and mesh, as per his opposite side mesh rules. Ø We can run virtually all of our offensive run plays reading the backside 5 technique Ø Allows us to account for a defender with a read, allowing us to block one more second level defender Ø We put good defensive ends in conflict Ø

Mesh Drill Ø We run our mesh drill with our quarterbacks and running backs

The Horses Set Ø Horses is a one back wing set with 12 personnel Ø We take the Z out and bring in a tight end to motion and crack the EMOL Ø We use angle blocking Ø We get great movement and force the defense to defend the flank Ø We run several plays from this set to keep the defense form loading up on the sweep

The Horses Set The horses set is a set we used to get our

The Horses Set The horses set is a set we used to get our QB on the perimeter. We ran the horses set with great success. The base play is 18 -19 Horses. We complement this play with 12 -13 Iso, and all of our read plays. We also run our zone play, and run play action off the horses. The horses set is designed to get angle blocks on our opponents. The Horses Set Motion

Getting Your QB In The Run Game Alamo Gun 13 ISO vs. 30 Stack

Getting Your QB In The Run Game Alamo Gun 13 ISO vs. 30 Stack F C N $ W M S E T E C From an Even set under center, you couldn’t run the Iso without motioning a slot. From the gun, you the defense has to account for two backs in the backfield, and still account for four wides. Versus the 30 stack, you can run QB Iso.

State Right 12 Iso $ F C W E T C M N T

State Right 12 Iso $ F C W E T C M N T E You don’t have to have the A back to the same side as the QB to run QB Iso can be run away from the side of the back. Vs a 50 the State formation gives you an advantage to the play side as you have a slot to block the DE. Even if they invert the Strong Safety, he becomes a non-factor. We can double team the PSDT and use fast zone footwork with the center and BSG to account for the Nose and the Will. We do tell the Center to work the playside jersey number of the Nose to allow the Guard to overtake the block. If we get the nose shaded to the backside, we would use a HIPPO combo to the BSLB.

State Right 12 Iso vs a 31 Front F C $ W R T

State Right 12 Iso vs a 31 Front F C $ W R T M N $ T C E Versus a backside on against a more traditional 4 -4 look, we use our HIPPO combo on the one tech. If they invert the Strong Safety, we block him with the PSWR and put the H on the FS. If they invert him, however, they become weak to the backside versus the pass game.

14 QB Iso Influence Trap $ F C M E T C W N

14 QB Iso Influence Trap $ F C M E T C W N T E This is a great adjustment off of the 14 QB trap with the PST outside veer releasing to the Strong Safety and the FB leading up on the PSLB. BST protects against B gap run through on the backside. Let BST go unless he is a super stud. A good down block on the Nose eliminates the run through. The QB is not faking pass at all as this is not a draw. He takes the snap and he is off to the races. The frontside slot tightens up to 4 yards and blocks the backside safety. In red is an alternate path for your backside slot if your tackle can not get the Strong Safety. We put this in against a 50 team and had two big plays.

14 Influence Scissors Wrap Vs. 50 (Designed Keep) $ F C M E T

14 Influence Scissors Wrap Vs. 50 (Designed Keep) $ F C M E T C W N T E This is another variation of this play from two back gun. The outside veer release of the PST widens the DT, and the fullback kicks him out. The BSG pulls and leads through. The scissors action holds the LB’s. You can also run this with the BSG pulling and kicking out and the TB leading up.

15 QB CTR R E M N L E This is a great play

15 QB CTR R E M N L E This is a great play if the defense is fast flowing to the play side, or trying to squeeze/scrap. The QB shortens his steps on the mesh and gets a longer ride. The back must fly outside after the ride as if the play is OS zone.

Alamo Rip 16 QB Counter Base W E T M T S E This

Alamo Rip 16 QB Counter Base W E T M T S E This is a designed QB Keep off power action with rip motion. Counter base alerts us we will have only a pull kick out with no lead through. This keeps the defense from getting flow to the motion to defend your counter read. When the DE to the mesh side flies upfield, this slows him down.

Getting Your QB In The Run Game Alabama 17 Power F C $ W

Getting Your QB In The Run Game Alabama 17 Power F C $ W E M T C S T E From an ace set under center, you couldn’t run the power without motioning a slot. From the gun, you the defense has to account for two backs in the backfield, and still account for four wides.

Green Tom Louisiana Check F W R E T M T S E If the TE is on the call side, he will motion to the center, settle, and shuffle back. 18 -19 Check works the same way as 12 -13 check. We want to check to the 1 -5 technique. We will usually use Tom motion to get a combo on the 5 tech to the PSLB. The reason we run load to the 1 -5 tech with Tom motion is to get two combos on the playside.
