ATTACKING DEFENSES BY

PAIRING PLAYS

AT THE

LINE OF SCRIMMAGE

WHY DO WE PAIR PLAYS

1. TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY OVERSHIFT BY THE DEFENSE

2. MAKE SURE WE HAVE BEST POSSIBLE PLAY CALLED VS THAT PARTICULAR DEFENSE

3. TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NUMBERS MISMATCH IN EITHER THE RUNNING OR PASSING GAME; DEFENSE CAN’T OVERLOAD YOU IN BOTH AT SAME TIME

4. TO HELP OUR QB LOOK FOR BLITZ IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS AND GET US INTO PROPER PLAY FOR THE BLITZ IN THAT SITUATION (EX: 3RD & LONG, 3RD & SHORT)

5. TO KEEP FROM GUESSING WITH A MULTIPLE FRONT DEFENSE

6. MAKE A GUESSING OR GAMBLING DEFENSE WRONG MORE OFTEN THAN RIGHT

7. TO RUN AWAY FROM THEIR BEST PERSONNEL

MAKING PAIRED PLAYS EASY ON THE QB IN THE RUNNING AND PASSING GAME

RUNNING GAME1. GIVE YOUR QB SOME EASY KEYS IN PLAY CALLING DECISIONS

**EXAMPLE – RUN TO THE 1 TECH., GO AWAY FROM FORCE, IS DE IN

7 OR 9 TECH, ETC2. GIVE YOUR QB A WAY TO GET US OUT OF A BAD PLAY3. DON’T OVERLOAD QB WITH TOO MUCH INFO (IRRELEVANT VARIABLES, ENTIRE FRONTS, SUBJECTIVE KEYS)

PASSING GAME1. WHAT CAN'T WE DO VERSUS BLITZ (KEEP IT LIMITED) & HAVE

BLITZ BEATER PAIRED WITH THAT PLAY2. GIVE QB SIMPLE KEY TO IDENTIFY BLITZ * EX: F/S, DB, OR LB ALIGNMENT; PRE-SNAP HABITS3. WHAT SECONDARY COVERAGE'S PRESENT A PROBLEM FOR WHAT PASS PLAYS

WHAT PLAYS DO WE PAIR UP

1. SINGLE RUN PLAY TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT (EX: TOSS CWM)

2. RUN PLAY TO RIGHT & ANOTHER RUN PLAY TO LEFT(EX: TOSS OR CTR)

3. TWO DIFFERENT RUN PLAYS GOING THE SAME DIRECTION(EX: TOSS OR G)

4. TWO DIFFERENT RUN PLAYS; CAN BE CALLED EITHER WAY(EX: TOSS OR ISO)

5. RUN OR PASS PLAY; LOOKING FOR NUMBERS GAME OR PARTICULAR COVERAGE (EX: ZONE OPT OR 71)

6. RUN PLAY RIGHT, RUN PLAY LEFT, OR PASS(EX: TOSS, CTR, OR 70)

7. TWO RUN PLAYS GOING SAME DIRECTION OR PASS(EX: TOSS, G, OR 70)
