Passing Play: Shotgun Trips TE - HB Motion Verticals

Quarterback - The quarterback will hand the ball off to the running back, then sell the quarterback keeper fake, running out to the backside of the play to keep the backside end occupied.

He will take his time, watching the play unfold and staying ready to continue flowing left, accelerate downhill, or cutback across to the backside.

Running Backs - The running back will step up, taking the snap from the quarterback and heading for the inside hip of the left guard.

Wide Receivers - All four receivers will try to leverage inside of their corners, then block them to the outside, away from the play.Offensive Line - The zone blocking scheme on this play requires all offensive linemen to immediately take a step playside when the ball is snapped, moving downhill and blocking the first defender to come into their assigned zone.The offense will come out in a Spread shotgun formation, with four receivers on the field - two on each side - and one halfback in the backfield. This is a great play on first and 10, with the threat of the pass leaving your running back in good position to set your team up for second down, or maybe even pick up another first.

That’s because when run correctly, the option is in effect blocking a defender for you, giving you an advantage at the point of attack without cluttering it up with extra players.īelow are some sample plays you can check out. By combining the classic option and the spread principles, we give our quarterback a chance to run the option against a thinned out defense, with fewer defenders to contend with. You also need a quarterback with a good arm, and a running back who is adept at reading his blocks.Īnother popular variation is the spread option. The same goes for the running game - with the defense spread out all over the line of scrimmage, it is much more difficult for them to stack the box and prepare for the run.Īs far as personnel, you need a deep stable of pass catchers, as unless all the receivers are threats, the defense will have no need to spread out and defend them. With the defense spread out, it is easier to isolate man coverage, as well as to find and throw to the holes in the zone.

The idea is to spread the defense out horizontally, pulling off extra blockers, like the fullback, and putting in extra receivers.
