Game Day(Goals and how we can accomplish them)

The 1st Goal is to have more 1st Downs that the other team. In order to achieve this you have to gain 5 yards on each play eather with a pass or a run. After we achieved this we getus in a better run vs. Pass situation, which keep the defense under pressure.

The 2nd Goal is to always convert all 3rd downs and short (1-3 Yards) into a first down.

The 3rd Goal is to always convert a 4th down and very short (approx. 1 Yard) into a firstdown, in Goal situations we have to achieve a TD. We have to have a positive attitudeconcerning short yardage situations, if we do this we will control the Line of Scrimmage everytime.

The 4th Goal is to convert a 3rd down and long (10-15 yards) into a first down (or at least give them a good punting situation and do not lose any more yards). The defense is clearlywith the advantage, every offense player has to have the BIG PLAY in his head.


Offense Identity(We want our opponents to respect us and our team)

WE dominate the Line of Scrimmage on Offense and DefenseWE play until the wistle is blown, on every down!WE always block downfieldWE have Yards after contact (YAC)WE put the defense on their backsWE can achieve everything we wantWE can score from everywhere on the field


THERE is no „I“ in team

Offense Mechanics(Unsere Offense verstehen und umsetzten)

Our Offense has only one formation, but a lot of plays. All plays are almost equal to eachother. With a simply number- and namesystem we can get the play to all players veryeasily. It allows us to make adjustments to the defense very easily.

Every player only needs to listen to his number and the combination between route orrunplay. This is the most important thing if we talk about easy playcalling.

Have the Play in front of your eyes – We need to have the play infront of our eyes at all time during the play, every player has to know what the player next to him is doing and what his reads are. This is how the system works out in the end!


Offense Huddle(Discipline is everything)

Center calls a huddle 10 Yards away from the Ball (Facing his back to the ball)Offensive Line adjusts themself according to the centerThe Backs & Receiver adjusts themself with their backs to the O-Line (Hands on the Knees and a low back so the QB can see the QB‘s face)After the QB gets into the huddle he is the only player to talk(Chatting between players about asignments can be done before or on the sideline)Everybody is concentrating on the Playcall and is watching the QBQB will call the plays 2x times incl. All motions and the snap countQB will end the huddle with a ready call, all others say break

At the line of Scrimmage(Discipline is everything)

Center will give the tempo to the LOSAll players move to their position quicklyAll players will think of the playcall in their heads – DO NOT FORGET THE SNAPCOUNT!All players go to the LOS with convidenceGo in your stands be ready for the play and execute!

Why the Pistol Formation??The Pistol is a Shotgun and I-Formation in one, that is why the Pistol so hard to defend. The QB has great vision over the Line due to his stands. The RB is hard to find for the defense because he is hiding behind the QB and is in full speed whenhe reaches the Line of Scrimmage.

Wide Linesplits are important for the passingplay, also if you have a quick back he can find the hole quicker! Also if you have unexperienced Lineman you can make it easier for them to know who to block,

because the D Line is so wide open.
