1. Intro – Teaching Blocks Spread Start and Jet I Triple AAA 1A – Alignment 2A – Assignment 3A – Action Install Step 1 – Critical / Silent Sneak Install Step 2 – Team Communication Install Step 3 – Spread Core / Stretch Run Install Step 4 – Blitz Beaters / Screen and Sprint Pass Perfect Plays Review

2.  Lesson 1 – Common Sense Football “Nothing means Something” – Key to Communication  Triple AAA 1. Alignment 2. Assignment 3. Action Lets Get Started – Alignment First

3. Ace Right J and Y (Away-back) B–Z–X (Toward-front) Odd #’s – Left Even #’s - Right *Note - 2 different hole #’s for outside attack G C T Y G T X 50 30102040 608090 70 Z J BQ 00 (0h) *10=teen

4.  Oline 1 foot split (minimum) with toes on heel of Center – shift from 2 point to 3 point stance  Qb @ 5 yds depth (parallel stance)  B @ 5 yds depth over tackle (2pt)  Xrec and Zrec (rec) spread toward call (max)  Yrec (3pt) and J (rec)away from call *See signal from sideline and get aligned NOW

5.  Look @ Defense now / NOT sideline  Identify if Covered or Uncovered *Covered Defined = “inside-over-outside”  Oline covered by Dline (hand on ground)  Backs covered by Backer (Mike always playside)  Recs covered by DB 1. Corner #1 Defender 2. Safety #2 Defender 3. Outside Backer Mr O Defender 4. Defensive End #3 Defender  Qb checks Safeties (points @ both) lets take a look @ DEFENSIVE Alignment

6. DEFENSIVE ALIGNMENT RECOGNITION “ACE RIGHT” – spread 2x2 #2 Defender (dc) Deep cover OR force GUT BOX TACKLE BOX Mr-0 EDGE Mr-0 EDGE Middle Defender Safety Box #2 Defender (dc) Deep cover OR force #1 Def dc/force #1 Def dc/force TACKLE BOX 3techB-gap #3 DEND #3 DEND MIKE

7.  Make defensive recognition calls *point @ key defenders *example – Bback points @ Mike Backer  Qb (only) looks @ sideline to get play – calls x2  Team LISTENS & Makes play Cue-Calls *Recs signal call and/or acknowledge received More important we know what we’re doing – than defense thinking they know

8.  Get Aligned on Ball ASAP - proper spacing *identify if covered–uncovered + key defenders  LISTEN to YOUR cue-call *make proper cue-call for play  Get off ball aggressively and confidently *get between Defenders and where ball is going COMMON SENSE FOOTBALL

9.  QB SNEAK  “Gogo - Nanu – Nanu” (silent snap) *No Audible – Now Under (s0, get set)  Coach signals set & play + Qb calls out (x2)  Get set ASAP (eye on ball = TTO) *Oline call = “tight” to middle blocking  Backs and Recs get set – be STATUES  Qb check all set – hands under center & ready  Center pause long 1 count – snap and we go Lets Take a Look

10. T E NE M S W C#1 $#2 F#2 Tight Sift to Sam Ace Left – “Nanu Nanu” Ace Left – “Iowa State” 2 Qb – punch snap with arms not body (no leaning forward) Let Oline get surge and read Center block for 3 way out Oline – tight reach to middle (1-2 dive block) *TTO - get off the ball Backs * Recs – too easy! Get set – stay set – BE A STATUE - lets take a look @ NANU in action

11. Notice Oline First Steps – All “Tight” to Middle with inside foot first (Great TTO) *Backs – Recs STATUES Qb punch snap – then GO

12.  Combination of words + numbers  Use both to help players memorize *note my hand signals to demonstrate communication  1 st Formation signal (directional as you see it) “Ace Right” +  WORD ASSOCIATION - any US state (no signal given) “Iowa” +  3 NUMBERS - COMBINATION LOCK (only #’s of play) “908”

13. US State1 st digit2 nd digit3 rd digit Dummy “Iowa” Series 9 POA-hole 0 (oh) Dummy 8 Dummy “Iowa” Run Pass Even=right Odd=left Dummy Again

14. “ Ace Right – Ace Right” *read defense – point @ safeties (defensive #’s) *pause & make sure everyone aligned properly  “ Michigan – 905” (pause) *must allow time to process and communicate calls  “Michigan – 905”  Give count reminder if not on 1 st GO *saying nothing means something (TTO-count) *check make sure everyone set (backfield behind you) + see defense  “Set” – “Readyyy” – “Go”

15.  Tappers (we-Offense)  Listeners (they – Defense)  We know what to listen for – they do not Example - 904  They hear 2 nd -3 rd digits together – (9) (04)  We hear 1 st and 2 nd digits together - (90) (4) lets take a look @ play 904 in action

16. Notice JREC – great timing on motion *Belly Back technique after hand off from Qb

17. Ace Right – 90 TENE M S-Mr0 W C $#2 F C#1 Oline – 3 step bucket *stretch reach to far gap PST or Y –Secure edge!!! Do Not let DEnd cross face *1 step bucket if covered *Jet Signals Jrec = Mo Man pats his chest Zrec = points @ Qb – jet stretch mesh and Hoff using 2 step shuffle and arms follow back (pause) then pivot drop step to sprint pass fake away Bback – align toward and see-block support defender *Bongo technique – if no backer blitz (soft) then help PST on Dend (B on & go)

18.  USE 0f PROVEN Memorization Techniques 1. Themes or Patterns 2. Alliteration 3. Unique terms or Memory Markers 4. Chunking 5. Scaffolding  HOW (concrete examples) 1. Themes: 90 series = jet series 2. Alliteration: 70 series all start with “S” = sprint 3. Memory Markers: embedded cues (90 = jet mo) 4. Chunking: break up into small bits (units) 5. Scaffolding: build upon each concept (stretch)

19.  Ace Right – 90 Stretch  Review of Triple AAA 1. Oline – Wide Reach / 3 step bucket / Secure edge 2. Bback – Outside-In Support / Arch / Bongo tech 3. Recs – 12 block / BSCO 4. Qb – 2 step shuffle mesh & Hoff-sprint boot away 5. Jrec – Jet Mo @ “S”eeet and read Fback Lead  Ace Right – 90 (walk & talk) then 99 (Zrec ball)  Ace Left – 99 (half speed) and then 90

20.  BLITZ Beater #1 – Fast Screen  Stretch blocking combined with bubble pass  Ace Right – Gogo Ram (walk & talk) Gogo Lion  BLITZ Beater #2 – Sprint Pass 2 level flood  Stretch tech for Sprint Pro  2 Level Flood Combo (Go and Speed Out)  4 Step Qb sprint out pass timing (quick pass)  Ace Right – Seattle 72 (walk & talk) Seattle 71

21.  Get into 3 offensive groups  1 st group @ 10 yd line – rest behind (watch)  Coach will signal set and play  Offense executes Triple AAA (Coaches = Defs)  Run play through Goal line (all 11 Perfect)  Finish outside and back around  2 nd group replace – watch & listen – repeat  3 rd group same (all use same set & play) *Goal = 3 perfect plays in a row – Start to Finish

22.  Perfect Plays everyday after warm up *Coaches are Key Defenders – reactions & scout D  Review Core Plays (previous day)  Intro New (big Picture – walk & talk to Run)  Break down into Individual Fundos  Progress to Group Install – drills  Back to TEAM vs Defense Play review You Got It – Lets Get Started

23.  Use of Proven Memorization Techniques 1. Foundations or core only (easy to process) 2. Themes or Memory Markers (unique cues) 3. Alliteration (same first letter or sounds) 4. Chunking (unit 1 = formation / unit 2 = play) 5. Scaffolding (build concept upon concept) They hear Everything – We hear One thing!
