Wild Formation tag

Blue Wild

Red Wild

Basic Set Up
BB 1 yard behind the PULL GUARD if the play goes to any one else. If the ball goes to the BB he aligns with is play side foot splitting the WALL GUARD. QB 3 to 5 yards behind the center BSTE and BSWB are in a LOOSE TAG as base. PSWB aligns his toes to the toes of the BB and tilts inside facing the PSTE's outside hip.

NOTES ON WILD FORMATION TAG

This is based on the wildcat formation that has gained popularity. It puts a LOOSE look on the far side of the power action which is opposite of what we do as a base look. When we do want to run to the loose side we call OVER for TKO based plays otherwise we run ISO based plays to the backside and wedge plays to the interior. Two specific reasons we run WILD: Use the JET tag to put the BSWB (SLOT) into JET motion in front of the QB (Cross his face) to run JET behind the POWER SERIES (using BSWB as a decoy) Use the PIN and SLIP sweeps to the BSWB running JET MOTION. We run POWER SERIES also with the LOOSE static (no JET) to set up our perimeter passing game as well. Fun twist on our power series (power/counter/ISO pods).

The Use of RIP/LIZ

The base formation is BLUE or RED WILD so RIP/LIZ is not used as the base. When RIP/LIZ is added it is to move the LOOSE SLOT into JET motion that converts to RIP/LIZ motion once he reaches the near side OTs outside hip gets into WB alignment and then executes the power motion technique. This allows us to introduce the SLOT into our power running game. It introduces the QB spin & pitch and a more robust running game.

Jet to Liz/Rip Motion

As WB reaches OTs Jet Motion aim at the BBs heels and outside heel set to drop inside foot, cross over and sprint hard to RIP landmark. WB spot and immediately go into LIZ/RIP motion.

Sell the JET motion to force the defense to over react on far side. Especially effective against MAN COVERAGE. CADENCE DOWN-SET-GO. Jet motion on SETsnap ball when SLOT positions to execute LIZ/RIP motion. DOWN-SET---(JET/LIZ)---GO.

Jet Tag
When JET is added to the play call it tells the SLOT to go into JET motion and cross the face of the QB at full speed. He aims his near hip at the belt buckle of the QB. Whether the slot gets the ball or not after he crosses the QBs face he will dip away from the LOS until he passes the last offensive linemans starting point. If he doesnt get the ball he fakes jet sweep and runs sweep as if he has the ball for 10 yards up the field once he goes vertical. We can run the SWEEP in two distinct manners; ARC/BELLY tag and SPILL perimeter scheme.

Jet Wedge Sweep (Mini-Series)

A simple series that is can be implement in one training session. The blocking is simplified using wedge blocking and ARC/BELLY blocking tag on the perimeter. If the defense is reading and filling all gaps then BB WEDGE/SLOT JET should be the focus. If the defense is flowing hard to JET motion the QB BELLY/BB WEDGE should be the focus. At any time the defense is squeezing down on the edge and giving up the alley hit them with JET sweep.

ARC TAG FOR SPEED SWEEP

ARC: Tells the sweep side WB, sweep side TE, and backside TE to alter their normal wedge rule so the JET hits the perimeter.
SSWB : take a lateral step to get play side foot outside of DEMLOS and pin him inside. Eyes landmark to the outside arm pit. Rip outside palm into outside arm pit and inside palm into breast plate and wheel butt to outside to pin defender inside. This has to be a violent strike as contact his made. LOAD-EXPLODE-WHEEL. SSTE: get a clue on SSCB location. Pull under SSWB and get wide fast. If CB is off the LOS and snug to DE get vertical attacking the CB as if DE LOG. If CB is wide (on or off LOS) eat up grass fast and create a gap then wall off the CB using the DE WHEEL concept. BSTE: release through the heels of the first backer inside and climb aiming at the safeties sweep side foot and climb and wall him off. BSSE simply runs fade and forces safety to cover deep away.

BELLY TAG FOR SPEED SWEEP

BELLY: Tells the sweep side WB, sweep side TE, and backside TE to alter their normal wedge rule so the QB hits the EDGE.
SSWB : take a short lateral step to influence the DEMLOS to widen and then he moves inside and FAN blocks the DEMLOS outside. LOADEXPLODE GO after lateral step is made to widen/sit DE. SSTE: get a clue on SSCB location. Pull under SSWB and get past the DEMLOS. If the CB is off the LOS and just outside of the DEMLOS then get vertical off the hip of the DEMLOS and wall off the CB from the inside. BSTE: release through the heels of the first backer inside and climb aiming at the safeties sweep side foot and climb and wall him off. BSSE simply runs fade and forces safety to cover deep away.

Spinning QB Footwork Release Opposite

1 2

3 4

Pigeon Toed, shoulder width stance. Let the SLOT mesh and as he goes by the far foot immediately take a punch step towards the opposite tackles heels.

The far foot will punch to the top of the near toe so that the instep drives past the big toe.

At the same time the near foot pivots so that the QB is now facing the tackles heels. The immediately attack the open space outside of the Defensive EMLOS. Force him to hold/slide wide. The 4th step might have to be a wider step to gain width away from the line of scrimmage if the DEMLOS is pinching.

Spinning QB Footwork Release Near

1 2 3

Pigeon Toed, shoulder width stance. Let the SLOT mesh and as he goes by the far foot immediately take a punch step towards the opposite tackles heels.

The far foot will punch to the top of the near toe so that the instep drives past the big toe. As soon as the far foot makes contact the near foot pivots around

The near foot will do a 360 and the far foot will land parallel with it shoulder width apart. The angle might vary depending on where the QB is hitting but a good spin can get a QB 405 around with practice.

Blue Wild Jet

Coaching Point: Have the slot run at the toes of the quarter back at full speed. The mesh of the QB and SLOT is important in creating the proper misdirection an force the defense to respect the JET ACTION. This also creates the natural dip away from the LOS you want so he can clear and go vertical when he sees first daylight.

Blue Jet Wild 47 Arc Wedge Right

SE ORR Fade QB hand off to SLOT and spin and attack the gap off the PSOTs outside heel.

Blue Jet Wild 30 Belly Wedge Right

OLINE: Wedge block. BB secure snap and get in behind the center. WB: take and inside step and attack the inside arm pit of the DEMLOS and wall him out. PSTE: ARC release and get vertical quickly and wall out the first defender to show (often CB). Slot: JET, flash fake then dip and fake sweep. QB: flash fake to slot off of JET and spin then attack the outside heel of the PSOT and go vertical. SE: ORR Fade

Blue Jet Wild 13 Belly Wedge Right

QB: flash fake to slot off of JET and spin then attack the outside heel of the PSOT and go vertical. You need to accelerate and get past the LB level. SE: ORR Fade

JET SERIES

If not go vertical and block first defender to show attacking outside armpit and wall him inside. PSOG: same as PSOT but help OT. BB: jab step and follow pullers and attack first defender outside. If outside wall him out. If inside wall him in. QB: hand off to SLOT let him cross face then attack daylight outside of the DEMLOS backside. SLOT: JET MOTION, secure hand, gain depth until you pass the TE and then attack first daylight. SE: ORR FADE.
