Offensive Playbook

2. Finneytown Offensive Playbook

3. Finneytown Offensive Philosophy
The Finneytown Wildcat offense will be the most exciting and explosive offense in the state. It will be composed of a ground and air attack that will be impossible to defend.
This offense requires intense learning, concentration, mental toughness, precise timing, aggressive play and total belief from every player in the two-dimensional philosophy.
Multiple formations and motions will help spread the defense so that the rushing game will be effective.
Success of team will rely on players, not plays.
We will have versatility through formations, motions and personnel groups – double slot, trips, orange.
We will have versatility through alignment – motions, line splits, cheat backfield (king/queen).
Our formations will force defenses to stop the pass.
Many routes in the passing game our mirrored.
QB’s, WR’s, RB’s and FB’s must recognize defenses and make adjustments.
Rushing plays will attack the middle, inside, off-tackle and perimeter of the defense.
Strategies will be implemented to attack defenses in specific situations: goal-line, boundary, field, 2 minute, etc.
Screens, 60 Series and counters (reverses) will be ran away from motion and the field.
The offense will take advantage of psychological situations: fumble recovery, interception, long offensive gain, long punt or kick return, etc.
Offense will you use Rip/Liz motion in order to recognize defensive coverage.
Offense will utilize the FB with screens, belly, trap, option and draw.
Motions give a numbers advantage and may eliminate run support

Orbit Motion – Motion by the right and left halfback in which the path is directed 3 yards behind the FB. The goal in this motion is to get into pitch relationship.
Ram – Halfback motion Right (Orbit Motion)
Lion – Halfback motion Left (Orbit Motion)
King – FB offset Right
Queen – FB offset Left
Midline – a line that can be drawn right through the middle of the quarterback and center.
Red Zone – Inside the 20 yard line

70 Protection – FB blocks to the call and OL blocks away from the call.
Stalk – Base block that a WR inflicts on a CB
Crack – Down (seal or angle) block that a WR inflicts on a DB or LB.

5. Finneytown Offensive Personnel
QB: The character and athletic ability of our quarterback will have a significant impact on our football team. The quarterback must be someone that can be trusted by his players and coaches. He must be perceived by his team as a “winner”. He must hate to lose and do whatever it takes to win. The quarterback must be a good decision maker, have great confidence, have great field presence, have courage, have great throwing ability, have great running ability and be a tremendous leader on and off the football field.
HB’s: L’s and R’s (Louie & Roger) must be tremendous athletes. They must be able to run great routes, have great hands and be physically able to block in our option and belly game. They must be able to threaten the defense vertically and horizontally. This stretching of the defense will allow us to take advantage of the entire field with a 4 wide receiver threat. The spreading of the defense will also allow us to rush the ball effectively in the middle of the field and on the perimeter. L’s and R’s will serve as ball-carriers in our counter and option game.
FB’s: Our fullback is the feature back of our offense. He must be physically able to block and carry the ball 15 – 25 times a game. He will run the ball in the belly, trap and option series. The FB will also catch the football in our screen series.
WR’s: In our run and shoot offense, the wide-receivers will be an important feature in our passing game. They must be able to make the big play at any time. WR’s must be our fastest receivers, for they will stretch the field vertically on our fade series. Their speed should also open the underneath are of zone coverages. WR’s must also be physical enough to be great blockers. They will be called upon to crack and stalk block in our rushing game.
TE (Y): Our TE plays a significant role in our Orange Series. He must have the physical ability to be a great blocker on our 33 & 39. In addition, he must also be athletic enough to run various routes featuring the TE. The TE can also line up as WR in our regular personnel package.
OT: Offensive Tackles must be our biggest and strongest blockers. They will not be called upon to trap and pull. They must be the “go-to” guys on short yardage and goal-line situations. Must also be athletic enough to pass-protect against athletic defensive lineman.
OG: Offensive Guards are the most athletic of our offensive lineman. They will trap and pull and must also have great footwork. Various line blocking schemes will call for our guards to avoid defensive lineman so that we can run our option game. Getting up-field on LB’s is key to being an effective option team. They must also be intelligent so that we can make proper calls up-front.
C: The center is the leader of our offensive line. He will call and discipline the huddle. He is the first to break the huddle and is the leader in recognizing fronts. He also must be athletic enough to get up-field on LB’s. He will also be responsible for picking up blitzes in our pass-protection. The center should be the most intelligent lineman on the field.

The huddle is 7 yards from the line of scrimmage. The Center is responsible for “calling” the huddle. Once called, the huddle is silent. The quarterback is the only one who will talk in the huddle. As the play is being called in or ran in, it is important for the quarterback to communicate the down and distance to the other players. The offensive lineman should have hands on knees with eyes and ears forward. The quarterback will call the play 2 times. After the first time, the center and wide receivers will leave the huddle. After the second time, the huddle will “break”! If you do not understand or hear the play, call “check” and the play will be repeated. A player should not go to the line of scrimmage if he does not know the play. After “break”, offensive line will “sprint” to LOS and get set.
Cadence
Monday = “Color – number – (Repeat) – Set – G0!
example: “Red 8, Red 8, Set, Go!”
Tuesday = “Color – number – (Repeat) – Set – G0 - Go!
example: “Red 12, Red 12, Set Go! Go!”
Quick = “Set Go!”

7. Pass Protection
Pass Protection will be based on a 6 man blocking scheme. Rules will be based on area, not man protection. FB will slide to call, and OL will slide opposite. Players must “think” and work with other OL to be effective. OL must sometimes “pass” defenders on to each other in order to pick up defensive blitzes.
Vs. 50 front, play-side OT will lock on DT, while FB blocks DE.
Vs. 40 front, play-side will make a FIRE call. F-I-R-E means FB on End. Course tight to OT.
“70” means FB Right – OL Left “71” means FB Left and OL Right

In this example, RT locks on DT. The defense is a 50 front. Center picks up blitz.
In this example, LT makes FIRE call and blocks B-gap. Slide Protection is able to pick up 6 man rush.
In this example, RT slides left and blocks B-gap. FIRE call!

60/71 Protection B B B E N N
FIRE was the Call. So FB should be on DE. In this case, DE went into B-gap. So OT and FB must adjust. OL on DE. FB on LB.
Vs this Stunt, RG slides to A gap. Since N goes away, he picks up LB. RG can “pass” defender.
Vs this Stunt, RG stays on N, and center will block blitzing LB. No pass of the defender.

Effective in short-yardage, red-zone, goal-line, and backed-up situations.
Brings new personnel into the game (TE)
Creates a power running game to the strength of the formation
Creates a power running game to the weakness of the formation
Provides a short corner to run sweep (Orange 39)
Puts 3 receivers on the weak side
After ‘homo’ motion – puts 4 receivers to the weak side of the formation
Challenges the defense to prepare and align for a new front
Defenses will either: adjust DL, adjust LBs, move LB up on overbalanced side or bring corner over.
Provides play action opportunities (Guards East –Trail/Corner/Slip)
Ran only to right side – which will maximize reps and minimize assignments

QB’s midline steps: Push off with play-side foot. Step with back-side foot to opposite A-gap and bring back play-side foot to 6:00. Feet should be pointing towards the sideline. This will clear the path for the FB.
QB reads the inside jersey number of the DL.
Reach ball back to FB as far as possible with the eyes on the jersey number of the DL.
If QB can see the number, this means DL is crashing to FB – resulting in a pull and keep.

OT and Slot (while blocking DE’s) must work hips and get outside position – without giving up ground. Keep defense on the LOS to allow for a good path for QB.
Pitch man must keep 2 x 4 relationship with QB at all times – do not give up.
In the above example, OLB must be either picked up by the double team block or he must tackle FB.

General Rules For Screens
OL always blocks big on big (1 –2 blocking)
The OL to the call blocks for count of 2 seconds, then release downfield. OT kicks out the Corner and OG leads up and seals to the inside.
Center is responsible for blitzes vs. a 40, and will pick up NT vs. a 50 front.
Center and backside OL will pass protect for duration of the play.
QB will set up behind opposite guard and “invite” the pass rush up-field. Deliver ball to receiver after 2 counts. QB should look opposite the screen and pump-fake.
Receiver should step towards DE as if pass-protecting. Contact is important to slow down DE. After 1 count, let DE by and turn head and shoulders to outside and be ready for the football.
Screens will go to Fullback, Right Halfback (Roger) or Left Halfback (Louie).

51. This entire playbook means nothing if:
We don’t work hard.
We don’t believe in the “team” concept.
We don’t execute.
We don’t get better every day.
We don’t listen to our coaches.
We don’t have the will to prepare.
We are selfish.
We are not willing to learn.
We are worried about our own personal glory.
We don’t care.
