2 Back Gun Question

By setting a TE to one side or the other, if he is not flexed out, the back on that side is going to get the ball. If he is flexed the called playside back is going to get it. Our plays (when a lead of any kind is called)
will contain the word lead, so it eliminates any guess work as to who is getting the ball. Example: our two back gun formation is our #11 formation with a TE. The huddle call would be: 11 rip/liz (sets the TE)
our FB is our #3 back and our TB is our #2 back and his assignment would be covered by simply saying: "20 Lead Dive". For simplicity the entire play call would sound like this: 11 Rip, 20 lead dive. 11 is the formation, rip/liz sets the TE, 20 lead dive indicates to the backs that the #2 back (TB) is going to be lead through the zero hole by the FB. Now our spread calls are much more involved in some instances, but not much more in others. Just invent your own terminology to cover any scenario that needs addressing with the least amount of verbiage possible. If faking is involved, as in play action, I always use the word "fake" as part of the play call. Example: "FAKE 30 DIVE- Y POP (fake give to FB, hit the TE with Pop pass). Hope this helps you get the general idea. You don't have to get locked into somebody else's system, invent your own. Terminology differs from camp to camp!

Coach Easton

think of the action on zone/counter/dart that occurs from your oneback scheme. keep that the same for the ball carrier when in 2-backs. our base rule for "off" back is option relationship away from call (i.e. zone right has back on left getting ball with off back looping around to carry out option left). call is still 44 zone whether we are in oneback or 2 back. no sense adding to it, right? "new" words would be 'cross' and 'option'. cross tells off back to cross in front (make fake with qb) then block his assignment. option simply means we are now pulling the ball to carry out the option with off back. note:....on normal zone qb reads it, no need to make a "call" since this is normal for us. lead is lead....same as in our 2-back/pro i scheme. same with power. why come up with different terms for same thing?, right?

Coach,

Just think along the lines fo the wing T. That is all the gun is really, in my opinion.
Just call CROSS and this could tellt he opposite back to cross in front of the others. You are running QB lead, right?
In our terminology it would be: Right, 14 Cross Lead.
Like Tiger said, come up with your own terms and it will be easier for your. Any words, color, etc.
