MULTIPLE PUNT FORMATIONS: WHY

1.Limit Defenses ability to rush andblock the punt

2.Spread out Defense and improveyour coverage ability- lessenchance of a big return.


3/13

3. More difficult to put a returner in who isnot a

D-Back

4. Force them to only be able to put one

returner back- easier to kick away froma dangerous returner- if they put twoback- they are vulnerable to a fakesomewhere in their alignment

5. Reinforces our team philosophy ofbeing willing to take risks and to stayon the attack always- builds trustbetween coaches and players!

6. It is fun- players love to practiceand do them in games- feel they havean important role in game and on theteam.

PERSONNEL AND ALIGNMENT RULES

1.Use an athlete at punter- preferablyyour starting QB- Someone who canhandle pressure, is not afraid to callfakes and is someone with a shortmemory and who can run and throw

the ball.2.Wide Recs/ DBs/ LBs /RBs are on the

punt team- NOT Offensive Linemenunless they are quick and fast.

3. Splits are 2 feet between snapperand guards , guards and tackles,and tackles and wings.

4. Alignment- want to be as far backas possible- push it until the Ref tellsyou to move up.

5. Split of the wideouts vary- but thewidest wideout generally get s out tothe numbers .

than that. Will take one step and punt!7. Punter has complete freedom to callpunt fakes or call off a fake called by

the coach!

WHO PLAYS- STARTERS OR BACKUPS?

our special teams-

- Want athletic players out there but if we can playbackups in key roles and get them experience andconfidence we will do it!
