THE PANTHER GUN•We are a SPREAD GUN OFFENSE.•We spread the defense horizontally (numbers to numbers) with our formations and force them to defend our formations AND the field.•We stress the defense vertically (downfield) with our passing game to keep pressure off of our running game.•We decide plays at the LOS and will huddle only about 25% of the time.•We must master a cadence system that all 11 offensive players must understand and be able to decipher in seconds.•Our players must master three tempos (fast, regular, slow) and be focused to change up as needed.•To keep it simple our snap count will be on ONE 99.5% of the time. “22,54… 22,54 … Set… Hut”

PLAYCALL SYSTEM• Formations will be signaled in by Coach• Receivers anticipate 2 x 2’s when middle of field

(Spread is base if no signal given)

• Receivers anticipate 3 x 1’s when on RIGHT hash (“Z on” if no signal given)

• Receivers anticipate 1 x 3’s when on LEFT hash (“Z on” if no signal given)

• Wristbands will contain all play combos• Coach will signal in wristband number • Each wristband number will show 2 plays• The number listed first is the playcall (or default).

The QB will call out city or state to affirm that the play will be the first listed. If the QB calls the hot signal (Ready, Ready) – the play will be the second call OR (Panther, Panther) – the 1st call will be mirror/reversed.

WHEN do we huddle?

Q

EXAMPLE1. Ball is on Left Hash … anticipate? ……..2. Coach holds up 1 Finger followed by a “Z” sign.3. Team lines up in Trips (with the Z on)4. Coach signals in play number 15 - QB yells it out5. The wristband reads: 15: “25 / 54” (25 is zone left / 54 is 5 step drop

with a 4 combo = “scat”)QB Waits for Coach who signals Two arms UP. (This

would indicate to run “54”) QB calls out,“READY, READY,….READY, READY…..SET,……HUT!”

Had the Coach signaled in a “1”, the QB would say “Utah/Utah….Utah/Utah ….SET, …HUT!”

BOX ALIGNMENT

H & Z MOTIONSH

• HAUL …. Across for JET or “w/haul” Jet Fake (snap at ghost)

• HURRY …. To b/s Guard and back (check coverage)

• HOP …. Into the Backfield (RB spot)

Z• ZAP …. Across for JET or “w/zap” Jet Fake (snap at ghost)

• ZORO …. To b/s Guard and back (check coverage)

• ZOOM …. Into the Backfield (RB spot)

QB CADENCE• Call out number / number or Color / Number or Number /

Color or Color / Color or Word / Number.• 21/55 ….. 21/55 (if in stealth mode: calls out wristband

number)– Center will then call out block scheme for 21. After it’s been echoed

(code) the Center must anticipate if we check to 55 .– QB looks back to OC to check for “green light” or a change to 2nd call.

• If “green light” (any ONE signal) call out, “Frisco/Frisco . . . Frisco/Frisco…..Set,….Hut!”

• If changed (any TWO signal) call out “Ready, Ready,….Ready, Ready….Set,….Hut!”

CHANGE UPS….. To slow down the defense

• ZERO = Freezes the cadence …. NO SNAP!!– “0 / 22 …..0 / 22 …. Set, Hut, Hut, Hut (until ref’s hand up)– No jump? Restart and with a “ready, ready” go to 2nd play

and run it!!!

STEALTH MODE• Each offensive player will have a wristband.• QB will call out the play number and wait for the

play 1 or play 2 indicator.• The OLINE should “code talk” their responsibilities

on play 1 and be prepared to “code talk” their responsibilities on play 2 if the QB calls out “Ready/ready. . . ready/ready”

• OFFENSIVE LINEMEN can also adjust their split by 6” to 12” as the 1st or 2nd call has been determined during the “Miami/Miami . . . Miami/Miami!” or “Ready/ready . . . ready / ready!” signal as the get into their flat back stance.

QB CADENCE• AUTO = We are going with our set play (76/25)

after the QB calls out “AUTO! AUTO!”. He now goes “Set, Hut”

• The play we will block is 25 zone BUT the QB can fake the 25 ride and pull it out and throw the 76 bubble to the right if the secondary is not set. We will practice AUTO weekly and know that this is our automatic

• AUTO gives us something to MAKE THE DEFENSE have to line up and be prepared before we get through our normal play-calling cadence.

CLOCK TEMPOS• (NORMAL) …. Normal pace. No call for this – It’s what

we do• (SLOW) “STAGECOACH”….wait for the 5 second signal.

We are trying to run as much clock as possible and players must be coached to keep the ball in bounds. We may even huddle up during this mode if needed.

• (FULL SPEED) “AMTRACK” …. Go with 1st playcall and call it as soon as ball is spotted. Players must be coached to use clock stopping strategies when we are in this mode. Get the ball back to the ref ASAP! In this mode we must be prepared to spike the ball. All Receivers just get on the LOS and don’t worry about who is off. QB goes under center and takes the snap on “SET. . . HUT”, steps back and throws the ball down.

CRG RTLT LG

IDENTIFYING FRONTS1. WE SPREAD THE FIELD TO RUN THE BALL.2. OFFENSIVE LINE MUST BE ABLE TO DEFINE

5 BASIC DEFENSIVE FRONTS. We will name the fronts based on league mascots, ie, 4-3 = “Lion” as Aub/MtV uses this defense as its base front.

3. WE WILL IDENTIFY THE INDIVIDUAL DEFENSIVE LINEMEN BY THE GAP THAT THEY CONTROL. Such as a 3 Technique Tackle who is the B gap player or a 5 Technique End who is the C gap player.

4. WE MUST ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DEFENSE MOVES ON THS SNAP AND GAP RESPONSIBILITIES CAN BE SWAPPED AMONGST THE DEFENDERS.

PASS PROTECTION CONCEPTS• 90s and 50s will be blocked the same by the

OLINE. • Even or Odd Rules will apply. Covered and

uncovered rules will apply. In both protections, the RB will be out of the protections scheme and we are in a true 5 man protect.

• 90s – QB must get the ball out on time. Period!• 50s - The QB must help with the protection by

making good, quick decisions and understanding where the “HOT” receivers are located. QB could also “Insure” the protection by keeping the RB “in” and calling out “Larry,Larry!” or if RB is flopped, “Roger, Roger!”

• 50s - RB & RECs must help with this protection by understanding our “HOT” concept as described on the next slide.

50s HOT CONCEPT• Our QB, RB and RECs must be on the same

page with the HOTS.• In our 50s when the defense is rushing 6 or

more, we must respond by throwing HOT.• QB will take the snap and he must identify where

the blitz is coming from. This is the direction to where we want to throw HOT.

• We will have two built in HOTS for each 50s play.

• With some gameplans we could just check to a 93 if the defense brings pressure and are willing to play press with their cornerbacks but this will be a week to week decision.

PASS PROTECTION CONCEPTS• 60s (Play Action) protection is a “control”

slide protection based on where the RB will be inserted. The OLINE will slide away from the point of attack. The pass play (60s) will be companioned with a run play that will “fit” the play action to be faked.

• 40s (Boot) will be our boot protections. Any play called in the 40s with an ODD number is Boot Left. Any 40s with an EVEN number is Boot Right.

PASS PROTECTION CONCEPTS• 70s protection is for our bubble screens.

Both sides of the OLINE will consider themselves play-side. The exception will be the Center who will block a nose head up or will release to the play CALL side vs. an even front.

• Dash Protection – called 1 and 2 will be a “full” slide to the playside. “1” being left and “2” being right.

RECEIVER SCRAMBLE RULE• IN THE EVENT THAT THE QB MUST EXIT THE POCKET

BEHIND THE L.O.S., the receivers must react accordingly.1. Receiver on the sideline towards scrambling QB must work deep and find

an open area.2. Receiver that is furthest away from the QB must work to get into the QB’s

vision3. Intermediate routes will break off routes and run parallel with QB.4. IF a receiver is WIDE open, he must throw one hand up to get the QB’s

attention.5. Once the QB breaks the L.O.S., the receivers will block the closest

defender upfield.

Q R

S

• Closest slot receiver (off LOS) to the side we are running option if there is no near RB. “kickback” is our term for the technique they will utilize to get into 5 x 1 relationship.

• If we motion with Zoom or Hop, the motion becomes the pitch option either direction

• If we are in 3 back, the b/s RB becomes pitch on Zone Read.

WHO DO WE READ?

1. QB reads the C gap or EMLOS (“GIVE KEY”) player on our 9 & 8 (attack his outside shoulder), 7 & 6 (arc around him to draw him out) and 25 & 24 (mesh and read the Keys path).

2. This “GIVE KEY” player determines if we KEEP, SHOVEL, PITCH or GIVE in all situations.

3. If this “GIVE KEY” player “disappears” and pinches inside of our tackle, he will be picked up by the OT and we will read off of the next player to appear outside of the OT. Usually an outside LB or SS.

GIVE KEY…..

AFTER KEEPING……..

1. SHOVEL – arc the give key: If the GIVE KEY squeezes and stays on his gap, the QB will then circle the field and pitch off of the 1st defender to show.

2. SPEED – attack give key’s outside shoulder - If the GIVE KEY comes upfield, PITCH!. If he stays home, circle the field and pitch off 1st to show.

3. ZONE READ – If the read key tries to chase the play down the LOS, keep the ball and run speed option back to that direction. QB may or may not have a pitch man.

WHEN TO PITCH?

OPTION vs. LION

• Zone to playside BUT we will option the C gap defender (E). The p/s T will EZ release to the first LB on to FS

• QB attacks the C gaps defenders outside shoulder as he runs downhill at him. Anticipate pitching the ball to the pitchback or kickback receiver.

• Pitchback will maintain 5 x 1 relation and will circle the field as blocks are set up.

• RB: Outside Zone aiming point is the outside hip of the Playside Tackle. If the p/s TKL can reach the C gap player, bounce. If the p/s TKL cannot reach, cut up the B gap alley.

• RECS: will block one man to the inside beginning with the safety. The idea is to bounce the play out to the cornerback by blocking the outside half of the inside defender.

• OLINE: Use zone rules BUT try to reach block instead of base block
