Rattlers Offensive Football

Huddle:

1. The Offensive Center will set the huddle 6 yards from the Line of Scrimmage and directly behind the ball. He will face away from the ball and make a “HUDDLE” call. All other players will form a “U” huddle around the QB.

2. Hustle at all times into and out of the Huddle. We have 25 precious seconds.

3. The QB will be the last man into the huddle after receiving the play from the coach.

4. When the QB steps into the huddle he must have command of the entire offensive team. All offensive personnel should stop talking and focus on the QB.

5. Our Huddle will reflect our offensive team. If we are sharp, up-tempo, poised, and aggressive that is how are opponents will perceive us. HUSTLE, HUSTLE!!!!!!!!!!!

C. EXAMPLES

F. The "CADENCE" will be referred to as a non-rhythmic snap count. The QB Should Change the Rhythm of the snap count and use his voice to hold the defensive linemen. It is the offensive team's job to get off on the QB's cadence.

1. We will rarely go on ONE.2. We will usually go on TWO or THREE.3. To start any plyer in motion, the QB will use a heel kick to start the motion. 4. "EASY, EASY" Call made by the QB if he wants to restart his cadence.

G. HARD COUNT- The hard count is referring to the QB adding Voice Influction to the Cadence. This is vital in Arena Football to hold the Defense from timing up the snap count. The hard count is the QB's ability to use our non-rhythmic count and voice alterations to try and get the defense to jump.

1. Quarterback will give the 1 Minute Offense Signal. 2. He will then call a right or left call to set the formation. 3. Right or Left will also declare either 52 protection=Right or 53 protection= Left. 4. He will then give the Recievers a hand signal for the following. a. HANDS DOWN is ALL STOPS. b. 1 FINGER STINGER is Sting Switch. c. FIST IN HAND is Smash. d. BENCH PRESS action is Benches. e. CROSSING FINGERS is Crossers. f. INDEX FINGER CIRCLING IN TORNADO is Storm. 5. The QB can tag any route with a HITCH by pointing(tagging) the reciever and pointing to his heel.

H. 1 Minute Offense. We will use this formation at the end of the half or end of the game when we are in a HURRY UP situation. Every player on the offense must respond with a sense of urgency as well as maintaining composure.

D. When the QB says "READY BREAK" in the huddle, all eight players should then say all together "READY BREAK". Remember we must establish an attitude from the huddle on how wwe plan to attack the opponents defense. Our attitude in and out of the huddle will be reflective of our offensive success.

A. When the QB steps into the huddle all eyes and focus is on his instructions. All other players stop talking immediately. B. QB will then Call " FORMATION, BACKFIELD SETS, MOTION, PLAY, SNAP COUNT NUMBER, SNAP COUNT NUMBER.

RATTLERSOFFENSE

Offensive Pass Protections

Rattlers Football “Protecting the QB”

We must be able to protect the QB to be successful in Arena Football. The defense is limited in what they can do to put the pressure on the QB. We must NEVER ALLOW the QB to be pressured or sacked. Pressure from a pass rush can result in loss of yardage, turnovers and disruption of timing between the QB and receivers.

Sound protection is based on effective blocking techniques and effort. Blown assignments resulting in unblocked pass rushers should never happen in our game. The defense can only rush 4 players; we know which 4 can come and all are limited in the stunts they can use.

We must anticipate the snap count, set quick, hands up looking thru the window and always be prepared to step and strike. We need to outwork our opponents for 5 seconds and then hustle downfield to help your teammates or recover a loose ball. Remember, you are the most important man in every play.

In Arena Football, the pass rush can get on the QB much quicker than the 11 man game. The offensive blockers must have the ability to flatten out the move of the pass rusher redirecting him away from the QB.

E

QB Set point on 5 step drop.

Optimal path for pass rusher.

With both players forces beingequal this would be the path ofthe pass rusher. QB throws the

ball, offense wins

Pass Protection Technique

Flatten the pass rush movetowards the boards.

QB

Understanding Pass Protection is the angles between the Defensive linemens start path and the launch point of the ball from the QB.

You will hear these coaching points constantly while we execute our passing game.Work on them diligently each day and you will improve in pass protection. Flatten the move – refers to the action of pass protecting and redirecting the pass rusher move towards the boards. The diagram below illustrates this:

Kick Slide – will refer to your steps as you work to the outside to flatten out the outside rusher. You willquickly and firmly kick back and square with your “kick” or outside leg and foot and then quickly slide the same distance with your inside foot. Your base should remain the same throughout the progression.

Pound the Post – will refer to your steps as you shut off and stuff the inside pass rusher. You will pound your “Post” or inside leg and foot for the rusher to cross your inside leg. You must always double up on your pound the post step.

P-step – is the same as pound the post but is a shorter step. It refers to picking up the inside foot and pounding it in almost the exact same position. You will use this step when the rusher is only a threat to go inside.

Slide Block – will be executed by the designated lineman in our slide protection while stepping down to block the Nose and the Mac. Your initial footwork is pound the post to close off any daylight between you and the center. You must help the center by stopping the charge of the Nose at the LOS. Your eyes must be aware of the Mac.

Gap Block – will be executed by the FB in our gap protection while blocking the Nose. Initial footwork must get you on the near hip of the Center with only a slight stagger, while closing off any daylight between you and the Center.

Cut Block – This is the technique we will use early in a game when blocking the DE in our quick passing game (30’s). The objective is to get the DE’s hands down and open up passing lanes. Take a quick position step and attack the DE inside out with your head up. Your aiming point is 6 inches above the knee of the DE’s inside leg. Always be aggressive and don’t leave your feet until you can step on the defenders toes. Never miss to the outside allowing the DE to interfere with the passing lane. This is a very effective weapon that we must perfect. It will slow down good pass rushers and cause them to lose effectiveness throughout the course of a game.

Stab Set – Refers to using aggressive footwork and getting your hands on defenders immediately. This is an effective change up to a cut block provided we keep the defenders out of a passing lane. It is important that you establish a good base and posture after you punch the defender.

Drive Set – Another aggressive change up to a cut block. You will execute drive block technique. Take a short drive set with outside foot to outside instep of DL. Lock hands onto inside numbers of DL. Move off of LOS with short choppy steps and wide base. Chest on thighs swing your tail to keep DL between your legs. If DL lines up tight to head up you must step with inside foot first.

5 Most Important Factors in Pass Protections

• 1. Stance- 2 point or 3 point stance. Heel toe stagger with feet about shoulder width and not too wide, feet should point straight ahead with shoulders square to LOS. Bend in the knees with flat

• back. You should be able to execute all blocks from this stance.

• 2. Footwork- Kick Slide/Pound the Post footwork will be executed. You must move your feet quickly on the snap count and position yourself to a head up to inside attitude on the defender. Maintain a consistant base and never cross over or get too narrow. Your base will widen when you have engaged the defender.

• 3. Posture- You should maintain the proper posture throughout the progression. Legs should be bent with proper "Z" in the inside knee. Back should be locked and flat with chest out and

• shoulders back. Weight should be distribute evenly on both feet.

• 4. Hand Placement- From the moment you take your set your hands should be up and inside protecting your numbers. Thumbs should be up, elbows in and ready to take a short 8 inch punch. You should never drop you hands. You should always be able to look through your hands at the defender..

• 5.Punch- Patience and timing should be the most important aspect of our punch. Wait until the defender is close enough to smell his breath and deliver a violent punch the defenders numbers and lock on if you can. Never reach for the defender. You must maintain good posture while punching and never lose the "Z" in your inside knee.

Route Description: Two step And sell the slant, stick the route with your inside foot and go to fade.

Motion: No Motion


Route: Slide and GoMotion: Zoom or Loop Motions

Coaching Points: Route can be run from stationary at any position. It is also an excellent route to run from High Motion, particularly in our caswell package. Receiver must be very athletic and deceptive in his stop and go routes.

Coaching Points: Sell the Slide route first. Stick the slide and work to a flat route for 1-2 steps. Stick the outside foot and go to the post.

Conversions:

Route: Bench and Go

Route Description: The receiver is going to push off the line of scrimmage and sell the bench route. Shorten up the out cut from 15 yards on a bench to 10 yards on Bench and Go. Sell the out cut with a speed out. Make sure you get your eyes back to the QB to get the DB to break on the route.

Conversions: vs. Press run a go route.

Coaching Points: Must set this route up by beating the DB with the Bench route. Best used when the DB is undercutting the Bench route and trying to anticipate the throw by the QB. Not good vs. a DB who plays hard on the upfield shoulder.

Coaching Points: We want to throw this ball on the frontside of the field. We cannot throw this route in the middle of the field.

Coaching Points: This route will be run from the backside or the Inside receiver on the frontside. We will never run this from the Y reciever spot or #1 reciever on the frontside of the formation. We would call the IN route.
