52 def calls

Coach,

We run an odd front (pro 3-4) and what we do is we give a two digit call to tell our two Tackles where to line up. This two digit call also tells the Nose where to line up.

For example: We call "55, Cover 4" The first 5 tells the strong side DT where to align over the OT.
The second 5 tells the DT away from strength call where to align.
If the digits are the same (ie. 55, 44, 33), the Nose will be head up on the center.

If were to call " 53, Cover 4", the strength side DT would be in a 5, the weakside DT in a 3 tech on the OG, and the Nose would shade strong over the Center. Anytime the two digits are different (ie. 53, 54, 43, etc.) the Nose will shade strong over the center.

If you wanted to make the field side the strength, even if the formation strength was in the boundary, we would call "Field 53, Cover 4". This puts the the wide side DT in a 5 and the boundary side DT in a 3.

This system has been real good for us. Hope this helps. If you ahve any further questions, you can email directly ast jbornn@hartdistrict.org
