NOTE: The Guard’s and Tackle’s hands are even with the Center’s shoelaces.
Tight Zone (Read)
1) You must give the ball carrier a clean read every
time.
2) If you have a combination block and are the inside
lineman, your aiming point is to put your helmet on the
defender’s helmet.
3) If you have a combination block and are the inside
lineman and have not made contact with the down
lineman after your first step, its now time to climb to
the second level – the ball is now rolling back behind
you.
4) If you have a combination block and are the outside
lineman, you have the outside have of the defender. If
he goes outside, you now must lock you backside hand
because your help is climbing and the ball is rolling
back behind you.

ACE is generally the call for a combination block between the guard and the
center. It is usually dependent on the defensive lineman. Generally if the Dlinemen step towards the center he is the center responsibility the guard will chip
and go to the second level. If he steps into the guard the center will chip, go to the
second level and let the guard take the lineman. The guard will make the call.
LION is the call for a combination block with the left guard and RAM is the call for
the combination block between the right guard and center the center will specify
the side to let the other blocker know.

at the line but only if the play side guard is free with no one
lined up in front of him.

rarely in the seven technique on the strong side.

Pass Protections
1. In all the formations, there is no TE.
2. All the pass protections are for the five interior linemen only
3. The run game use only five interior linemen also
4. The lineman need to learn their rules for blocking NOT what man they are blocking this is
very important when defences begin to stunt.
5. Lineman will use as few protections as possible to make the lineman’s job easier. Linemen
that do not have to think are more aggressive.
6. On all pass plays the line will take normal splits, smaller on 3-step drop
7. The guards and tackles are to be in two-point stance. (Tackles must be even with guards.)
The base protection is a big on big protection.
a. This protection will be used in the 70 series or the 5 steps under center and 3 step out of gun
b. It is a man scheme but whom you block depends on the rule.
Here are the rules of the protection:
Tackles: Man on or man over. Note a wide 9 tech rushing End would be considered man on.
Guards: Man on or vs. 50 front read linebackers looking for blitz.
Center: Man on or man over. If there is no man on or over, he is to look for stunt by weak side
linebacker. Note if someone walks up to blitz in
either A gap, then the Center would consider that Blitzer to be Man on.
The lineman must: remember that even though it is a Man scheme that on all stunts that
they are to block their zone area first because if someone leaves that means that someone
is coming.
The backs will check strong or Sam linebacker, if no one shows he may check
release. If there are two safeties, then he can free release without checking by running
either the swing route or delay middle.
The screen is also a great weapon against the blitz.
“Recognize, React, and Destroy” when it comes to the blitz.
You must force teams into stop blitzing or make them pay
If OLB`s blitz the Running backs will pick them up.
If Middle LB Blitzes‘ Center will pick him up

The next protection is quick game or 90 protection series.
The 90 protection series is used with the quick throw portion of the offense. The
slide protection is also used for play action passes.
1. Slide left the back is on the right and slide right if the back is on the left.
2. In our slide protection, the line will protect the gap to the called slide side
3. The running back will block the DE on opposite side of slide protection.
4. Lineman will zone block the gap to the call. If slide left, the lineman will protect the gap to their
immediate left.
5. The running back will block the C gap. If two players come off the edge, the back will work
inside out.

Half-roll or sprint-out protection
.The ability to move the pocket
.To attack the defense as well as slow down the rush.
Rules for the protection:
· Backside Tackle: Turn and Hinge
· Backside Guard: Turn and Hinge
· Center: If covered or shade to call side, reach.
If uncovered with no shade to call side, turn and hinge.
(Note, on turn and hinges, unless you make immediate contact begin to get depth to stay
between the QB and your man. You do not want to be still on the LOS as the DE comes
up field)
· Play side Guard: Reach, plug hole/backside
· Play side Tackle: Reach
(Note: On any reach block, if you are unable to reach, ride your man out to the sideline.
Don't get beat outside trying to hopeless reach.
· RB: Take two steps to call side, looking at outside rusher. Look for OLB or outside
rusher to come shooting, block first color that shows. If none show, check middle and
then backside. You are QBs bodyguard. Step to rush; do not wait for him to get to the QB.
· QB: will go at a 45-degree angle to a depth of 5-6 yards and then will level off.
.eyes up, and look downfield.
He can continue moving parallel to the LOS, but he must know when he must stop and step
up in the pocket and deliver the ball.

Pop Block Empty Quads right Gun F Screen
Rules:
These screens are used to get the running back and Wide receiver involved in the screen game.
It will take advantage of the overaggressive Defensive line.
1. The QB will take the snap and take a 5-step drop if under Center.
2. The H will step up to block and then slip middle behind the Center. If split
out such as in Empty, then he will sprint to behind the Center on the snap.
3. All receivers will sprint downfield like running a go route, and then they will
break down and stalk after the ball has been caught.
4. The Lineman upfront will aggressive punch the D-lineman one time and then
let them go and work up field to the nearest linebacker. Double team
linebackers whenever possible.
