Play Calling
Plays calls are broken down into four parts:
Formation
Blocking Module
Direction
Backfield / Receiver Module
The play can be called in a huddle, or signaled using boards from the
sideline
To signal plays from the sideline, the following methodology is used:A picture of an animal is held up to indicated the formation
Lion or Rhino
A color card indicates the direction of the play:
Red / Green / Brown = Right
Blue / Black / Gold = Left
Each blocking module is assigned a category, a picture that falls in
that category is held up, indicates the blocking scheme to use:
A cartoon character = Kick Module
A product logo = Wrap Module
A shape = Down Module
A persons face = Wedge module
4 digits are displayed in a quadrant. 2 are hot, to are dummy
digits. One hot digit indicates odd/even play column on wrist coach
The other hot digit indicates the row on the wrist coach.

Play Calling
Kick or Wrap blocking are used on the Power, Counter, and Blast
modules
Down blocking is used on Speed or Dash, and all Pass modules
Wedge blocking is used on Wedge module
Call Bubble when DBs cheat into the alley to make them respect the
spread
When DBs jump the Bubble, call Pop. Have quarterback fake to TB,
pump fake the Bubble and hit the receiver running the slant
When you call slant, the QB reads the man covering the #2 receiver. If
he plays #2 tight, #1 receiver should be able to settle in hole
When you call Wheel, leave the playside DE unblocked, he shouldnt beable to make the play
For older teams who can execute it, or when wedge blocking is illegal,
replace the Wedge blocking module with trap blocking. Try to trap the 3
technique.

Other Thoughts
In 2009 COY Clinic article, Chip Kelly claims he doesnt really run Zone Read
schemes. He says when you start talking about the read players shoulders or
number, you overcomplicate the play. If the running back is continually getting
tackled by the defensive end, the quarterback should be pulling the ball. Youcould eliminate the read play and just call Power Give or Power Keep and adjust
the play calling based on how the defensive end is playing.
Run same plays but move the H-Back into the backfield.
The defense could respond in one of three ways:
If already in a 2-high safety look, the man covering the H-Back will
return to the box;
If in a 1 high look, the man covering the H-Back will either drop back
to create a 2-High look or follow the H-Back into the box
If in a No-High look, the defender could drop back to play safety or
follow the H-Back into the box.
Best case scenario, you have more blockers than defenders, worst case
scenario, the ratio of blockers to defenders remains the same
H-Back could have simple rules:
If he is playside, he blocks the man he pulled into the box or the firstlinebacker to playside
If he is backside he pulls down the line and leads through the hole
Aligning H-Back as a wing opposite of TB would allow you to run the Wing-
buck sweep from shotgun.
H-Back seals playside DE
Playside split end crashes down on playside linebacker
Linemen down block
Playside guard pulls and blocks force
Backside guard pulls and leads through hole
Could run Jet Sweep action behind this with Z if H and Z are both
aligned to same side of field.

Play call board is a large piece of foam board covered in velcro.
Formation, Blocking, Direction, and Play Quadrant Pages are
printed, laminated and the back has velcro on them. Coach calls
play, assistant grabs the pieces from the pile and slaps them on
the foam board and holds it up. Every possible play quadrant
combination should be printed off and then stacked in piles based
on the play. When the coach calls a play the assistant simply
grabs the next Play Quadrant page from the stack.
