Coaches,
I hope to get some discussion on terminology. Obviously, all this football terminology is never going to be universal, but I am just going thru some terminology issues with my staff.
I learned from a guy that had College, NFL and HS experience that the ability to communicate is highly important when it comes to running your offense or defense. He used pneumonic language in everything he did.
For example,
Mike LB blitz's were:
1. MAG - Mike in A gap
2. MOB - Mike in B gap
Will LB blitz's were:
1. WAG - Will in A gap
2. WEB - Will in B gap
3. WIC - Will in C gap
Our defensive call was always Alignment, Charge, Blitz, Coverage. So if you never heard "your name" being called, you never blitzed.
Other coaches use "buzz words" like "lightning", "thunder", etc while communicating their defensive blitzs or charges.
So what type of language do you coaches use? What is the easiest method of communicating your calls?
