This is to get punt team to man block to callside and zone away, which ideally will enable Bonzai blitz from this alignment to (1) overload covered guard to slide side, (2) exploit bubble between shield opposite callside and middle shield if shield opposite callside scans too aggressively, (3) exploit TE opposite callside with tackle rush if he respects threat of Kat blitz too much and shield opposite callside blocks inside out.Įnds will inside leverage and CBs will outside leverage TEs on both sides in order to bluff middle return while forcing outside shield players to respect threat of Kat blitz. The B-gap opposite callside will not be occupied until there is a stem to it pre-snap. middle shield by alignment.īoth overload alignments - Red and Blue - will essentially be 7x1 with 6-2 personnel (6 DL, 2 S) and CBs on ball. If middle shield and weak shield scan too aggressively to weak outside, effectively 2-on-1 vs. teams that zone block away from callside. Think either "Bu lldog" = Nose Left of Tackle and Mike Left of End, or "(Geo rgia) Bulldog" = Tackle Right of Nose and End Right of Mike.Įspecially effective vs. Nose rushes diagonally to strong A in shield and Mike rushes diagonally to weak A in shield. Nothing more than matchup football here for most part.įront name indicates alignment of nose and Mike opposite callside relative to tackle and end.īulldog (unless Bulldog Safe): Nose and Mike to left of tackle and end in A and B gaps on LoS, respectively. Nose is always to left of Mike as innermost shield rusher. Two best interior rushers - nose and Mike - responsible for rushing and/or blocking two shield players opposite callside. Additionally, the SS must be wary of the formation adjuster on a fake while blocking LoS player on return to callside, so it makes sense to align him callside of the guard he is on.
This is because LS is usually a primary coverage player along with the two gunners, so it makes sense to have the most athletic non-CB in the FS on him. SS and FS on LoS to callside, with FS shading LS and SS shading callside guard to direction of callside. This is to make punt team respect possibility of Kat blitz while enabling end and tackle to leverage blocking assignments away from return when ball is snapped. This is because return will be to callside, so winning first two blocks from sideline is critical.ĬB opposite callside is head-up on TE, while end and tackle opposite callside are leveraged on OT and guard, respectively, to direction of callside.
Inside-leveraged callside end doubles TE with outside-leveraged callside CB, and callside tackle shades OT to direction of callside. This is because of the three shield protectors, it is important to identify the most likely fake punt threat of the three as a formation adjuster. Shield or Tight PuntĬallside is designated strength of punt formation.
