ATTACKING BLITZ WITH ONE BACK

A. SPREAD THE FIELD WITH FORMATIONS & MOTION

-CREATES MISMATCHS (WR’S ON LB’S/SAFETIES; RB’S ON LB’S)

-FORCES THE DEFENSE TO DECLARE ITSELF (ZONE OR MAN; BLITZ OR
BASE).
-EMPTY THE BOX

B. PERSONNEL

-3 WR’S – 1 TE – 1 RB
-THIS GROUPING GIVES US THE MOST THREATS

C. FORMATIONS

D = BALANCED
T = OVERLOAD

D. ATTACK BLITZ (KISS)

-MENTAL APPROACH
-SEE IT/PROTECT IT/ATTACK IT
-AVOID HOTS
-BE PREPARED FOR BLITZ & BLUFF

#1 HORIZONTAL STRETCH: HORIZONTALLY DIVIDE THE FIELD INTO 6

DISTINCT AREAS (NOTE: THE UNDERNEATH ZONES EXTEND UP TO 12 YDS
DEEP)

FLAT CURL HOOK HOOK CURL FLAT

X 00C00Y

H Q Z

FIELD BALANCE IS OBTAINED BY EQUALLY DISTRIBUTING 5 ELIGIBLE

RECEIVERS ACROSS THE FIELD WITHIN 5 OF THESE 6 ZONES. WE WILL
HOPEFULLY GET 3 RECEIVERS OUT CALLSIDE, AND 2 RECEIVERS OUT
BACKSIDE. THIS SHOULD OPEN SOME “SEAMS”, “GAPS”, “VOID SPACES”,
“WINDOWS” IN THE UNDERCOVERAGE – WHICH IS TRYING TO COVER 54
YDS HORIZONTALLY (OFTEN WITH ONLY 4 PEOPLE).

NOTE: CAN HORIZONTALLY STRETCH THE 2 OR 3 DEEP ZONES AS WELL.

#2 VERTICAL STRETCH: TO STRETCH THE FIELD VERTICALLY YOU NEED 3
RECEIVERS VS. THE 2 LEVELS OF DEFENDERS. ONE RECEIVER, USUALLY A
WIDE RECEIVER, IS SENT AS DEEP AND AS FAST AS HE CAN POSSIBLY GET
DEEP. ANOTHER RECEIVER HITS THE MIDDLE OF THE WIDEST AREA
CREATED BY THE ONE DEEP RECEIVER DEEP AND THE ONE RECEIVER
SHORT (THIS IS CALLED THE “ALLEY” OR “CREASE” IN THE DEFENSE).
ANOTHER RECEIVER IS KEPT CLOSE TO THE LOS. THESE 3 MEN ARE
DISTRIBUTED VERTICALLY IN ONE THIRD OF THE FIELD.

X runs an “UP” (stay out near S.L.)

Z runs an “UP” (stay in mid of D.O. 1/3 - #’s area).
H runs “TAG” = 1. “BLUE”if F/S within 1-5 yds. Of LOS–run“UP”from hash to MOF area.
2. “WHITE” if F/S 6-7 yds. Deep–run “OUT” at 6 yds. W/ins. “Stick” on F/S
3. “RED” if F/S 8 yds. DEEP or more. Straight “arrow” to flat depth of 4 yds.
Y checks out on “SEAM”
R checks out on “Circle” over ball at 4-5 yds. Deep
QB = “RED”–“WHITE”–“BLUE” call at LOS off depth of F/S. On “RED”–get ball to “H” ASAP!
