2. WHY What makes a defense get to a base or prepared look. Offensively - execute a minimal number of plays out of an endless number of looks. Force a defense to adjust in and out of the run box. Create personnel mis-matches. Defense will eventually do one of these things: * Become out leveraged / lose sound gap play * Vacate a zone or man responsibility in coverage * Play slower

Defensive substitutions based on huddle personnel grouping / down and distance? Field / Boundary – Strong / Weak alignment? Field / Boundary – Strong / Weak Pressures? Fullback in the game – how do they account for the extra run gap? 7-6-9 Technique on the Tight End?

5. IMPLEMENTATION Huddle personnel grouping has no formation / motion / shift / play selection limitations. Must have full flow, split flow, and counter action run plays with similar actions. Equal opportunity motion and shifting – run and pass. Run plays must have flexibility to go strong and weak. Built-Ins: - Run / Pass Checks - Run Game Automatics (Slant / Bubble / Now) Under / Gun / Pistol Must have play-action to all run looks and formations. Play Selection: - Base Formations - Motions - Shifts - Motions & Shifts - Multiple Personnel Groupings Backside End – Multiple Looks: - LOS Block - Naked - Backfield Block (Aligned To – Aligned Away) - WR Block - Dummy Route / Pause
