Hand Movements for the 5-2...

HEY COACH

For Tight I use the interlocking fingers (fold your hands like you are praying then push your thumbs outward and lift your wrists.)

We tag our Blitzes by position, so if our Mike is blitzing his gap, we'll call Tight Mike Cover 3. Same with Sam or Will. Our more complicated blitzes has city names for OLB/ILB, and ILB/DB usually have Native American Names.

If we are sending the Sam and Will, the blitz is Saw (Sam And Will). Mike and Will is Wham; Sam and Mike is Sumo.

Good luck. Get creative. In order to remember the calls, I would take whoever you are going to get to receive the signals and let him decide what he wants them to be. Also, have whoever calls the signals in case your main guy gets hurt there as well. Players have an easier time remembering things that they helped come up with.
