Play Action married to Inside Zone

Milford High School Gun Read Offense

“I am ADD that’s how we play.”

Alignment

• Offensive Line Splits 12” to 18” inches Deep as possible.

• Down hand aligns with circle of the ankle of the center.

• Every one in a three point stance

• QB – heals at 5 yards Directly behind the

center.

• Slots and wide outs• DPMO Formula

Formation Field Position Play Width and depth

The Vertical SplitIn order to assist the development of the zone

combinations it is vital to get as deep as possible from the line of scrimmage. This is accomplished by placing your down hand on the circle of the ankle of the center

The Horizontal SplitThe horizontal split between the center and guard is one foot to eighteen inches. Close your splits if

you get nervous.

The Tailback’s AlignmentThe toes of the TB are six yards from the front tip of the ball thatching the outside leg of the guard.

The Quarterback’s Alignment:The toes of the QB are five

yards from the front tip of the ball directly behind the center.
