Gun offense oline calls

We do not operate without a TE, and run very little from the gun - so I cannot answer many of your questions. I will make a few comments.

#1 Numbers in the box is NOT a line call. The press box & the QB need that info - so the play can be called properly.

#2 "Shades" are no more important to you than the other possible alignments of defenders.

#3 Blocking calls should be limited & used only when necessary. RECOGNITION of WHO to block is better.

#4 Calls can be made in situations where 2 (or 3) men are working TOGETHER (as on the Zone, or Counter).

#5 IF you number defenders (0-1-2-3) Center should identify "0" so others can count from there.

#6 This is NOT a call - but something the QB needs to know. Take the FB TRAP for example. It is good to the 3 techniques side of the defense (reduction) but not as good to the 1 technique side (wide side). QB must know this BUT it is NOT a line call.

Time prohibits me from deeper explanation. If you would like to discuss this via phone my number is 804-740-4479 (before 19 AM EDT)
