Nothing means Something Key to Communication

Triple AAAAlignmentAssignmentAction

Lets Get Started Alignment First

Alignment and POAAce RightJ and Y (Away-back) BZX (Toward-front) Odd #s Left Even #s - Right

*Note - 2 different hole #s for outside attack

*See signal from sideline and get aligned NOWRule #1 - Identify DefenseLook @ Defense now / NOT sideline Identify if Covered or Uncovered*Covered Defined = inside-over-outsideOline covered by Dline (hand on ground)Backs covered by Backer (Mike always playside)Recs covered by DBCorner #1 DefenderSafety #2 DefenderOutside Backer Mr O DefenderDefensive End #3 DefenderQb checks Safeties (points @ both)

Qb (only) looks @ sideline to get play calls x2

Team LISTENS & Makes play Cue-Calls*Recs signal call and/or acknowledge received

More important we know what were doing than defense thinking they knowRule #3 Triple AAAGet Aligned on Ball ASAP - proper spacing*identify if covereduncovered + key defenders

LISTEN to YOUR cue-call*make proper cue-call for play

Get off ball aggressively and confidently*get between Defenders and where ball is going

COMMON SENSE FOOTBALLInstall Step 1 - CRITICALQB SNEAK

Gogo - Nanu Nanu (silent snap)*No Audible Now Under (s0, get set)Coach signals set & play + Qb calls out (x2)Get set ASAP (eye on ball = TTO)*Oline call = tight to middle blockingBacks and Recs get set be STATUESQb check all set hands under center & readyCenter pause long 1 count snap and we go

Lets Take a LookQb Sneak Dive Tight MiddleTENEMSWC#1C#1$#2F#2ZJXY12032Tight Sift to Sam Ace Left Nanu Nanu QAce Left Iowa State 2 Qb punch snap with arms not body (no leaning forward)Let Oline get surge and read Center block for 3 way outOline tight reach to middle (1-2 dive block)*TTO - get off the ballBacks * Recs too easy!Get set stay set BE A STATUE - lets take a look @ NANU in actionBNANU - NANU

Notice Oline First Steps All Tight to Middle with inside foot first (Great TTO) *Backs Recs STATUESQb punch snap then GO Install Step 2 CommunicationCombination of words + numbersUse both to help players memorize*note my hand signals to demonstrate communication

Michigan 905 (pause) *must allow time to process and communicate callsMichigan 905

Give count reminder if not on 1st GO*saying nothing means something (TTO-count)*check make sure everyone set (backfield behind you) + see defenseSet Readyyy Go

Why it works Tappers (we-Offense)Listeners (they Defense)We know what to listen for they do not

Example - 904

They hear 2nd-3rd digits together (9) (04)We hear 1st and 2nd digits together - (90) (4)

lets take a look @ play 904 in action

Ace right 90 *JREC ball carrier (3rd team)

You Got It Lets Get StartedWhy It Works Repeated Use of Proven Memorization Techniques

Foundations or core only (easy to process)Themes or Memory Markers (unique cues)Alliteration (same first letter or sounds) Chunking (unit 1 = formation / unit 2 = play)Scaffolding (build concept upon concept)
