RBs AIMING POINT Take a pre-snap look to locate the bubble

Aiming point for the RB depends on where the

bubble is located (bubble = gap not defended by

a down lineman)

If the bubble is located over the Guard (B-gap)aim for the inside hip of the Tackle

If the bubble is located over the Center (A-Gap)

or Tackle aim for outside hip of the Guard

RB must press the B-gap in order to bringPSLB into mate block and seal BSLB away from

cutback.


8/21

READ The read is the helmet of the first defensive

lineman head up on the center to play side. If his helmet goes inside cram the ball up field

just outside of him

If his helmet goes outside you cut up field just

inside of him

If there is ever daylight in the B-gap cram it!
