    SECTION XIV BUCKEYE DEFENSE SPECIALITIES PHILOSOPHY OF THE KICKING GAME The importance of the kicking game is obvious. It is 30%, generally speaking, of a football game. It should also be noted that because of the nature of a kicking game play, a great deal of yardage is involved. It is imperative that the exchange of this yardage be in our favor if we want to win consistently. One, or more, of the following three events take place on every kick, while they usually do not occur frequently on other scrimmage plays: 1) A sizeable amount of yardage is involved (40 yards or more); 2) There is a change of ball possession involved; 3) A specific attempt to score points is involved (PAT or field goal attempt). The plays which involve the kicking game, therefore, are weighted heavily, insofar as they affect the tide and outcome of the game. Just as success begets success on offense and defense, the same is true of the special teams. When players realize what excellent special teams play can do for the winning effort, the more enthusiasm they will generate towards the whole team. This enthusiasm will result in the development of the necessary pride and togetherness needed for great special teams. TH RTANCE OF Fi ITH KICKING GAME The kicking game gains importance when you realize how important a role it plays in determining offensive scoring ability. We already know that the further away an offense starts from its intended goal, the more difficult it will be to score. Conversely, the closer the offense starts, the easier it will be to score. Our defensive field’ chart clearly shows this difference. 1 out of 30 20 20 1 out of 8 40 40 1 out of 5 50 50 1 out of 3 40 40 1 out of 2 20 20 1 out of 2 10 10 The significance of this information is simply that we can utilize the kicking game to give our opponents poor scoring percentage and enhance our own offense’s scoring percentages. For example, on kick offs, if we can start our ‘opponents inside their own 20 yard line, their chances of scoring are quite poor. ‘On punts, if we can return to the 40 or beyond, we have greatly increased our offense’s scoring ability. y 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7 8) 9) PUNT RETURN AND BLOCK RULES There is no roughing the punter if: a) the punter begins to run; b) the punter drops the ball; ¢) you block or partially block the punt. If the returner signals for fair catch but does not attempt to field the ball, he may not block anyone on the cover team. The punt team must cover and possess the ball to down it. If they should incidentally touch it and walk away, you may advance it. An official will blow the whistle to down it. If the returner muffs a kick, the ball may not be advanced by the punt team if recovered. If the returner has gained possession and fumbles, the bali may be advanced by the punt team. A partially blocked punt crossing the line of scrimmage is as if it had not been blocked. Get away from it. Call "Peter." Advance any blocked punt not crossing the line of scrimmage. If the punt fails to cross the line of scrimmage, any player on either team can recover and advance the ball. If the punt goes out of bounds or comes to rest inbounds and no player attempts to secure it, the ball beeomes dead and belongs to the return team at the dead ball spot. if the catch momentum carries out return man into the end zone, you do not have to bring the ball out. However; if you take the ball into the end zone, you must bring it out or it will be ruled a Safety. We have four categories on punt defense: 1. Returns An all out effort to return the ball to either side or the middle. The type of return used will be based on coverage, type of punter, protection and other variables such as field position, wind, etc. 2. Combination Return and Block This is an all out effort to block from one side and an all out effort to return on the side opposite the rush. 3. Rushes This is an all out effort to block a kick. It involves bringing 8 or more rushers. The selection of using an all out rush is based on timing, protection, time left, field position, or score. 4. Prevent Punt Defense The prevent is to be used when you have the game won, or in any situation when you want to insure that your opponent punts the ball and you avoid committing errors (allowing a fake punt). The first three categories have been designed from one front, and they are intended to look alike. Our opponents will be unable to predict from our front our intent. Actually, we want to make every punt return look like a rush. This does two things for us: 1. Pressure opponents punt team, if they think we are rushing. 2. | Makes them more protection conscious, so we are apt to keep them ‘on the L.O.S. longer, thus making our hold-up return easier. This punt defense has great potential for getting our team a big play. We must be offensive minded in our Punt Defense game. This is an opportunity for us to score and it is vitally important that we look upon it in that respect. We want to make things happen . . . create big plays that have a positive effect. Nothing breaks team morale more than returning a kick for a touchdown or blocking a punt. It should also be noted that any penalties on the punt defense team are extremely costly, many times resulting in giving the opponent the ball back 1st and 10. Be extremely careful about these penalties; especially an offside penalty with less than five yards to go. Additional errors that can be costly to us are: 1, Do not rough the kicker! 2. Do not block below the waist! 3. Do not clip! 4. Do not let the ball hit the ground! 5. Do not field a punt inside 10 yard line! 6. Do not allow a fake kick! 7. Do not allow bouncing ball to hit you! (Be alert for “Peter” call.) General We will operate from one (1) type of front in our punt defense. In order to simplify our communication we will refer to our positions as number 1 - 10.

As ball goes by you then turn and run with the ball. When called upon to force, put quick pressure on the kicker but stay outside Fullback and Kicker. Come hard and then gather. If you appear quickly in face of Punter you may force a bad punt. If you knock your man down, stay after him. Do not go to someone else. If you fee! you are about to lose your man, take him out right now. Align as close to the neutral zone as possible. Keep your hand out in front of your head. Key the ball. Get a good jump or snap.

Concentrate on type of punt. 1. ‘If point is not turned over and it is a spiral it is going to drift to your right and fall short. On left footed punter it will drift to your left. 2. If point is turned over it will get greater distance. Knotch the ball. Onside returns, start up for three (3) steps and then get to wall and go north/south. On rushes, north/south right away. On combinations, get right to the wall. On middle return, go north/south right away. Never attempt to handle a punt rolling unless you are facing the coverage. If it is over your head and hits the ground go around the bail to handle it. There would be two exceptions to this: a. You know you have considerable running room. b. The ball has been touched by the covering team and has not been blown dead. 10. 1. 12. 13. 14, 15. 16. 7 " Do not handle punts inside the 10 yard line. On Kill or Kill Poocher punts, put yourself on the 10 yard line and do not back up to field ball. Do not fake Fair Catch on Kill or Kill Poocher punts, but rather Fake Catch by sprinting up middle or either sideline in proximity to the ball. Field all punts in the air unless late in the game and we have the lead and field position. Then we can let punt hit ground to consume time. Call will be made from sideline. ? Make your decision to Fair Catch early and give the signal clearly. Must break tackle or beat 1st coverer. : Get at least 10 yards on every punt that does not go out of bounds or inside our 10.

We can recover a kick-off after: a. it touches an opponent (anywhere); b, the ball travels 10 yard: ¢. the ball touches an opponent, the ground, or an official after traveling 10 yards; ’ d. a Receiver muffs or fumbles a Fair Catch. 2. You cannot voluntarily go out of bounds during the kick-off and then re- enter the field and take part in the play. 3. If the ball is kicked high and has not touched the ground, the returner has the right to field the ball before it touches the ground {as with a punt). We cannot interfere with this opportunity until the ball touches the ground. 4. A Receiver can Fair Catch a kick-off. If he fumbles, muffs, or fakes a Fair Catch, the ball is live. 5. .Ifa kick strikes the goal post, it is an automatic Touch Back. 6. During an Onside Kick attempt, we cannot block a return team player before the ball passes the return team’s restraining line (10 yards). 7. During an Onside Kick attempt, the ball must travel 10 yards to be live. If we touch the ball before it goes 10 yards or before it touches an opponent within the 10 yard area, an illegal touch is called and the ball is dead and belongs to the receiving team, 8. During an Onside Kick a 6-4 Overload is the largest you can have. 9, If we kick the ball out of bounds, the return team can take the ball where it went out of bounds or have the kicking team re-kick after a 5 yard penalty. The kick-off is the most aggressive play in football. We must have men on this team with tremendous intensity, a great desire to hit, and reckless abandonment in their hustle. A great play on the opening kick-off of a game (great hit, forced fumble or a tackle inside the 20 yard line) can and will ignite enthusiasm in the entire team. We will have several types of 1, Regular 2. Squib 3. Corner 4. Pooch 5. Onside 20 It is important that we learn to anticipate and read opponents kick-off returns through weekly film review. A good take off is essential to good coverage. You should be running full speed one yard behind the ball when it is kicked. Concentration is the key to a good take-off. Squeeze immediately to the ball, keeping the returner on your inside shoulder. "NEVER CROSS THE BALL.” If you are on the left, stay on the left (#’s 2, 3, 4, 5). If you are on the right, stay on the right (#’s 6, 7, 8, 9). Early in your coverage you may run around blocks avoiding blocker on either side, however, deep in your coverage you must take the blockers on. Contain Men, be sure to keep the play inside of you. You must be disciplined. Don’t leave your position to help on the opposite side of the field until you are sure it’s not a reverse. Take a good pursuit angle. The Safeties (#’s 1 & 10) are Secondary Contain Men who will cover aggressively to the 35 or 30 yard line. They should be as tight as possible to each other keeping the ball on their inside shoulder and forming triangle with the Kicker who will be head up the ball and an aggressive Safety. All covers go all out. We want to make our opponent start inside the 25 yard line; inside the 20 yard line as much as possible. 1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 21 KICK OFF MIDDLE (KICK OFF LEFT) (KICK OFF RIGHT) (Saquia) {POOCH RIGHT) (POOCH LEFT) Align between sideline and #'s - you have aggressive Secondary Contain.
