We do something like this. I stopped calling left and right for formations. Just the formation name, and they align based on what hash we're on. Cutting verbiage out was more important to me than being able to call trips to the boundary, but that's specific to what we do and not a claim that it's the best way to do things.

If you align your defensive front to field/boundary, do you do the same for your offense? Why or why not? E.g. "Field offensive tackle" and "Boundary offensive tackle" What would be the advantage? Defenses do it to put their personnel where they want them, not where the offense wants them. In HS wide side is important. The offense can put their players wherever they want to, though. One advantage to F/B on defense is that every player has a specific job on a particular call that doesn't change based on what side of the field you're on; they don't have to learn two jobs. For instance, let's say a weakside stunt is called and that always has my boundary side 4 tech slanting one gap to field. It doesn't matter which hash, that position always knows they slant strong (or better yet for teaching purposes - inside). It works well for one word calls on defense. My thought was that you could do the same for offense and have your kids avoid the "if you think you stink" mantra. E.g. B/F offensive linemen and veer. "Bama" could mean veer to field so that OL would know, regardless of hash, that their boundary gap is their responsibility. "Florida" could mean veer to boundary. Just thinking outloud about its merits on defense and if it's simpler (or ends up being more complex) for offensive players. |
