    6-5*DEFENSIVE RECOGNlTlON - _ I--5CALLS OF DEFENSIVE FRON T

    l t is imperative that offensive linemen learn and call the multiple alignmentsused by defenses because our blocking schemes and ruleswill be predicated onblocking defensive fronts. A s we learn our blocking schemes and apply them toeach front, we will eventually evolve to'categorizing our plays with defensivefronts. This will enable u s to make it easier to remember blocking assignments.We must eliminate mental mistakes by KNOWING YOUR ASSIGNMENT.

    .

    IMPORTANCE OF DEFENSIVE RECOGNITIONTo establish the alignment of the defender to be blocked.I.2.To assist in making blocking mles applicable and cons ist en t

    3.To alert offside linemen pulling playside, to know the location of thedefender, prior to the ball being snapped.4-70 initiate a good habit of obtaining a pre-snap read.5.To recognize alignment from a possible adjustment where the defense istrying to gain an advantage with a stunt or slant.6.To develop good communication, to improve execution, and mental mistakes.7.To allow the quarterback to know front alignment and technique alignment ofdefensive Iinemen.

    COMMUNICATING THE CALLWhen the defensive front declares their assignment, the call will be madeloud enough for the opposite side tackle to hear. The tight end side or thewide side will be recognized a s the dominate side of the defense.

    PROCEDUREI.he right guard and tackle will make a technique alignment call, if theyare covered by a defensive linemen.2.The left guard and tackle will make a technique call, if they are covered bya defensive linemen. . '3.The center will call out either odd or even fronts. He will also make arecognition call of a middle linebacker.4. The tight en.ds will make a.6-7-9- technique call on all plays.
