Recap of Base punt returns schemes
The following is a recap of our base punt returns schemes that come after pressure.
• Jesse – after Jesse James is used with middle pressure and a middle return using a “punch, wheel and shadow” blocking technique. This style of return, though designed to initially hit the middle, can turn into a sideline return. This is our base scheme.
• Wyatt – after Wyatt Earp is used with pressure from the right (eaRp), but a picket return opposite the pressure. We add an “orange” for a pressure left, return right.
• Doc – after Doc Holliday is used for pressure from the left (holiday) and a picket return left. We add an “orange” for a pressure right, return right. This is an excellent return because most teams will run a picket opposite their pressure.
• Shoot-out – after the shoot-out at the OK Corral is used for middle pressure with a middle picket. This is an excellent return versus disciplined teams that run the lanes, especially versus a “big butt” punt formation.
JESSE JAMES
The punch, wheel and shadow techniques were described earlier in this chapter. However, when combined with a middle pressure, then key coaching points for the Jesse James return include:
• Sell the rush – make everything look the same as a block with the get-off, low pad level and then track to the block spot if you break clear.
• Transition – when you feel the blocker coming to you to make contact, shoot your inside hand to the blocker’s breastplate to balance up.
• Hold-up – Time equals yards. We give our returner the maximum fielding cushion by delaying the release of the coverage. Keep a wide base with the hands inside on the breastplate of the blocker; hands above your eyes; shuffle your feet to maintain position. Block him where he wants to go – further than he wants to go. Release him outside if, possible, but not critical.
• Trail – After the release, run on the hip of the opponent. If you lose him on his release downfield, run a midpoint path between your man and the returner. Focus on the hip as you get to the returner so that you may see him come to balance.
PRESSURE MIDDLE – RETURN MIDDLE: “JESSE” JAMES
Coaching Points
• Each player must know where the block spot is.
• Any player that breaks clear heads to the block spot.
• Punch, Wheel and Shadow – PWS
• Time equals yards.
• Excellent versus fakes because each player is putting their hands on an offensive player.
• Pull #2 out early to help with a gunner on either side.
Position Technique
C Corners are aligned 5 yards off with their outside foot to the gunners’ inside foot. Corners are responsible for the gunners (man) and will use a shadow technique to ride gunners outside. The alignment and techniques can change based upon the scouting report.
1 Align in a 9-technique; attack with PWS. Responsible for wing in case of fake. Make the defender go over the top once the returner has declared.
2 Align in a 5-technique; attack with PWS. Responsible for the punter on fakes. Make the defender go over the top once the returner has declared.
3 Align in the B-gap; attack the gap with a low pad level attempting to break clear to the block spot or occupy the protector. Responsible for the punter and protector on fakes.
4 Align in a 2i-technique; attack with PWS. Be ready to collision an inside trap.
Returner Field all punts, except those beyond the 10-yard line. Make the first defender miss – then north-south.
PRESSURE MIDDLE – RETURN MIDDLE: “JESSE” JAMES
Coaching Points
• Same coaching points as above.
• The base alignment versus a “big butt” is adjusted to attack the gaps for a middle return.
• Defenders in the gaps are based upon the game plan.
• Players that get through will use the punch, wheel and shadow on the “shield blockers”.
Position Technique
1 Align in a 6-technique and use punch, wheel and shadow (“PWS”) technique. Responsible for the man on a fake.
2 Align in a 4-technique; attack with PWS. Make the defender go over the top once the returner has declared.
3 Align in the B-gap and attack gap with a low pad level attempting to break clear to the block spot or occupy the protector with PWS.
4 Align in a 2-technique; attack with PWS. Make the defender go over the top once the returner has declared.
5 Align in the A-gap and attack gap with a low pad level attempting to break clear to the block spot or occupy the protector with PWS.
Returner Field all punts, except those beyond the 10-yard line. Make the first defender miss – then north-south.
PRESSURE RIGHT – RETURN LEFT: “WYATT’ EARP
Coaching Points
• This is a return opposite pressure.
• Returner must stay between the numbers and hash, otherwise the sideline pins them with no additional open space to work with.
• The double can be switched to block the best coverage player – wing, tackle or guard.
• Punch, release and wall – PRW.
• Fours are responsible for run fakes.
• An “Orange Wyatt” changes this to a pressure left, return right.
Position Technique

4 Align in a 2i-technique; attack gap with a low pad level attempting to break clear to the block spot. If blocked, use PRW technique. Return side is the lead (top) of picket, so get to 20 yards; pressure side works for 5 yards apart, along the hash.
Returner Field all punts, except those beyond the 10-yard line. Make the first defender miss – then north-south, and then run between the numbers and the hash.
PRESSURE LEFT – RETURN RIGHT: “ORANGE WYATT’
Coaching Points
• This is a return opposite pressure.
