What is the “Spin”? 5 offensive lineman in standard splits 2 Wing backs in 1 by 1 alignment to the EMOLS (tackle or TE) QB in Shotgun FB in 1 by 1 alignment in front of QB Receivers and TE’s can line up in many different formations

Base Formations Doubles – 2 receivers Ace Right / Ace Left – 1 receiver, 1 TE Double Tight – 2 TE’s

Wing Back Basics Wing Backs go in motion one snap count ahead of the snap Our snap count is GO, SET, HIT, HIT If play is on HIT, motion begins on SET Wing stance is outside foot forward, hands on thigh pads Pivot on inside foot, crossover with outside foot and sprint to QB’s hip for mesh

QB Basics Must time the cadence perfectly with the snap Secure the football and jab step forward with the foot opposite the motion Pivot on the jab foot and open to the Wing Mesh the football just like option Continue to spin into the rest of the play

Sweep Traditional I formation Toss play Reach and Pull backside guard, lead FB, crack with Outside Receiver, Wing leads on Corner Wing goes in motion, QB Spins and hands off, continues to spin and fakes Blast into B Gap Wing takes ball and sprints to the outside looking for daylight

Blast Traditional I formation off tackle Power Down block and kick out with FB, Backside Guard leads through hole Same action as sweep, QB keeps the ball through B or C gap depending on formation Playside WB fakes reverse We tell QB, if hole is cloudy then cutback

Counter Tradition I formation Counter Trey Down on playside, backside guard pulls and kicks, backside tackle pulls and wraps FB blocks back Same action as sweep, QB continues spin and hands underneath to WB. WB steps back, crosses over, then take handoff and follows tackle

Dive Traditional I formation FB Dive/Trap We base out and fold, but you can trap it also Sweep action with WB faking Reverse, FB intercepts snap and runs through A Gap QB continues spin and fakes Blast

Reverse Traditional I formation Receiver Reverse Base front side, backside guard pulls just like sweep, FB takes two steps toward sweep then leads on Corner Sweep action in backfield with WB coming over the top for reverse handoff WB runs it like a wall punt return, get wide before turning up field

Base Traditional I formation ISO play Base block, lead FB on LB Sweep action in backfield with QB spinning and then attacking ISO gap Wing backs fake sweep, No reverse fake Tell QB to cut off FB’s block on LB
