TE Wham

That play was run by the Redskins when they had Riggins at RB & Donny Warren (6'7/270) as the "WHAMMER" - in the 1980's. Panthers FEATURED it in the Super Bowl 2-3 years ago with Stephen Davis running the ball. Dan Henning took this play with him when he left the Skins. He & Weis worked together with the Jets. Henning now features the play as "OC" of the Panthers. It all goes around in cycles!!!

It is off the INSIDE ZONE - with the "whammer" trapping (outside/in) the Nose, or the DT if no Nose on Center. Playside ZONE blocks & from the others turn away, leaving EITHER the Nose, or DT, alone to be "whammed".

Here is a description of the play without diagrams: Example: Play call right with RB aiming for butt of RG & cutting behind the block of "H":

“40/50 LEAD NOSE”

A) VS 3-4


LT = TURN OUT ON W
LG = REACH M
CTR = TURNBACK ON E (LEFT)
RG & RT = ZONE S & E
Y = BASE B
H = “BANG MOTION” & TRAP N (MAN ON CENTER OR FIRST MAN ON LOS PAST CENTER) ND didn't use motion because they slotted him between the ON T & TE.



B) Vs 43 Over

LT = TURN OUT ON E
LG = TURN BACK ON W
C & RG = ZONE M & T (ON RT)
RT & Y = ZONE S & E
H = “BANG MOTION” & TRAP T (FIRST MAN ON LOS PAST CENTER). Once again - ND didn't need to motion.

NO SIR!!!!! There are too many people in there, & there will be "TOO MANY ASSES IN THE HOLE"!!!

Run the COUNTER to the split end side from a "TE TRIPS" look, as they generally match up in Cover 1, & they will be a man short to the SE side. If (going to the SE side) you trap the DE, block down on the 3 tech, & lead thru on the MLB - your RB should "pop it" because there is NO secondary run force over there!!!!

I am talking about the Counter (which can be run from ANY oneback or two back set) where the RB takes a hard jab step AWAY from the point of attack & hits downhill off the butt of the playside Guard. He has a "trapper" (the Off G) & a "wrapper" (Off T OR Off H/Y) leading.

It was (& is) a Counter which begins with the first step of the Inside Zone one way & hits opposite. QB comes back to roughly 5 (ctr lt) or 7 (ctr rt) o'clock (like the Inside Zone) & hands to rB.

Just about EVERYBODY I see in College & Pro runs this!!!!! It is commonly referred to as "Counter-Trey" (which is little bit of a misnomer). Others refer to it as "Counter-Gap"!!!!!

Very difficult to give a CLEAR picture of a play in typing. If you want to know the details call me at 804-740-4479 (Virginia).

Check my post of 5/4 (above). WHAMMER'S blocking rule = "TRAP MAN ON CENTER TO FIRST MAN OFFSIDE"

Yes - that way is good! What I described is purely off Inside Zone action! Different plays!
