Stretch Concept

This Concept is a play designed to get the defense moving laterally across the field to create seams for the runningback to cut upfield. Each lineman is working to reach and overtake the next man on or off the LOS. The end man on the LOS may make a Fold Call with the next man inside based on defensive alignment. Playside must get off the ball aggressively with power to create movement at the POA – dent the defense. Never allow penetration; if the down defender wants to run laterally, take him all the way to the sideline. Backside linemen get off the ball with speed in mind, sealing off backside pursuit while attempting to reach 2nd level defenders.

ZONE BLOCKING RULESIf you are UNCOVERED, zone with your teammate to the playside. If you are COVERED, look at your backside (away from playside) teammate. If he is COVERED, you will block your defender man-on-man. If he is UNCOVERED, he will double team/combo block with you towards the LB.

Covered Linemen – Attempt to rip your backside arm and shoulder through the defender’s playside armpit. Over reach and rip under the defender to slow him down for the uncovered lineman. The wider the shade, the bigger the angle you must take on your first step. Work for playside hand in armpit, backside hand on sternum. On third step, work to square the defender and drive him off the ball. If the defender is still head up, think overtake by inside lineman. Rip and reach through his outside half to second level.

Uncovered Linemen – Take a wide first zone step and block anything that runs between the covered down lineman and yourself. The angle of the first step is adjusted to gain outside leverage on the down defender. Read his near hip. If the next down lineman comes inside, overtake him. If you can’t overtake in three steps, climb to the second level.

TE – based on weekly preparation, make either a fold call or a combo call with your tackle.

B Back – Freeze until ball hits Qb’s hands. Open with playside foot on a path aimed one yard outside of the TE, or where the tightend would be. Be patient initially, chasing the outside leg of the TE. Key end man on LOS, watching for possible fold block from TE/Tackle. Only attempt to get the edge if the defense allows it. If you see a window inside, take it up the field and turn it on.

QB – Get on your horse to get the ball to the RB on his path, carry out Sprint PAP fake.

JET: Is Stretch with the A or Z in motion as the ballcarrier. B and QB carry read option fake on backside EMLOS. As a Read complimentary play, we will call JET READ. This play is called to the 3 tech, and will require a ride and read of the 3 tech. By the QB. If 3 tech. stays put give the stretch, if the 3 tech runs to defend the stretch, pull and run up inside.

Play: 35/36 STRETCH


Concept: CHECK TO OUR TIGHT END. We are looking to get the defense to move laterally to create seams for the RB to cut up field. This is not a sweep. The back should look for the first window and take it up field. Only get to the edge if the defense allows.
