Gap Identification A or 1GAP - Between Center and Guard B or 2
GAP Between Guard and Tackle C or 3 GAP - Between Tackle and Tight
End D or 4 GAP - Between Tight End and Wing E or 5 GAP - Outside
the Wing Most all defenses base their schemes around the idea that
they will defend gaps, or potential holes between offensive
linemen. Those gaps are labeled using letters to the Frontside,
beginning with A and working out in the following fashion. To the
backside we use numbers beginning with 1 and working our way out in
the following fashion. 1A2B3C 4D5E FrontsideBackside

Head up on a Wing player When identifying the location of players
in the defensive front, we describe them in terms of the technique
theyre playing. Understanding these different locations, or
techniques is critical to us for a number of reasons: *It provides
a very strong clue as to what gap a man is responsible for, as well
as the defenders around him *It determines for linemen, in many
cases, what their first two steps will be and how theyll go about
doing their job *Often, it determines which way well check a play
to insure the best chances of success!02288 AirAir 55 114477 Shade

have a 0 added as a second digit to their technique. For example, a
linebacker aligned 4-5 yds deep over a guard would be called a 20
technique, or a Deep 2

Defensive Cores -Center has a down lineman on him (0 or Shade)
-Either one or both of the guards does NOT have a down lineman on
him. -------------------------------- Core is Odd The next step in
identifying defenses is to classify the front structure in terms of
its core. The core refers to the how defenders are aligned within
the A and B gaps. There are only four basic cores, as identified by
the Center at the line of scrimmage, and they provide a great deal
of information as to how the rest of the defense is being played
around it and how we want to block! The cores are named and
identified as follows: V VV -Center has a down lineman on him (0 or
Shade) -Both Guards also have a down lineman over them (usually 2
or 3 tech). -------------------------------- Core is Bear V VV
-Center has no down lineman on him, but both guards do*. -There is
only ONE player aligned at LB depth from B gap to B gap.
-------------------------------- Core is Even V VV -Center has no
down lineman on him, but both guards do*. -There are TWO players
aligned at LB depth from B gap to B gap.
-------------------------------- Core is Stack VV VV

1. We identify defensive fronts according to the information we
gather based on the Box concept. We determine run or pass by
reading the number of players in the box. 2. If we see 5 or 6 in
the box (5 vs. 6 or 6 vs. 6), we will run most of the time. 3. If
we see seven in the box (6 vs. 7) we will pass. The OLB comes in
and the SS covers H, indicating pass. 4. A quick way to determine
whether 6 or 7 are in the box is by checking the number of
defenders out over the 4 spread receivers. If we spot 3 on 2, we
may assume there are 5 or 6 in the box, meaning we will run.
Slide 17
5. If we spot 2 on 2, we may assume that there are 7 in the
box, meaning we will pass. 6. The one back set forces our opponents
to show blitz or to leave someone uncovered. 7. The FS will always
let us know when they are blitzing according to his alignment. 8.
These are three very important factors in play calling. We feel
that the Box theory helps us make intelligent calls on whether to
run or pass, and this in turn helps take the guessing out of the
offense.
Slide 18
Formations allow our offense to spread the field. We like to
make our opponent defend the entire field. We will stretch the
defense both vertically and horizontally. Using different
formations also allows us to put our best athletes against lesser
athletes and weaker defenders. We use names to identify our
formations.

In conclusion, we hope these concepts give you the coach, some
ideas on how to implement and set up your Team to better ATTACK
your opponents defense. We understand that there are many different
offensive philosophies that can apply to the coaching the multiple
set up tempo offense. We just wanted to share a few concepts with
you in hopes that you can better prepare your own players. God
Bless!
