I do have a little story on using words (at my age you have a little story on everything). We had a pass play we ran inside the five or for two points. We used it a lot. We called it TED. TD....that was the association. We're at Thursday practice...going through scripted practice....get to two point play...I yell "TED" to the QB. He starts shouting "EFT, EFT, EFT" as they run on the field. They line up and run it. When they come back to the sidelines I ask him what the EFT stuff is about "Every f'ing time, coach, every f'ing time" It might be an understatement to say they had confidence in the play. Use to call the Clock Play where QB spikes ball to kill clock-conserve time "Dog!...Dog!" because Spike was a common dog's name - at least on TV. |

Or go bill Walsh. He wrote a book about his time at Stanford. And I believe, and I may very well have it wrong as it’s 25 yrs since read that book, he didn’t word associate anything. Even without word association he had to come up with the names some how. That’s not a knock on your comment just that in his mind there was some type of association. It would of been interesting to know how he came up with the names/terms. The Briles tree uses some really interesting terms and you can see how it kind of just got cobbled together. A bit here and but there and some good old HS terms. New Anthony is their slot choice. The story is it came about because they had a new kid named Anthony so that’s what they called it. K Draw got its name because the QBs names started with a K. |

You guys have been so awesome with all the help. I’m a defensive guy that continues to try to lump things into families of buckets so kids understand all our _______ are weapons or _______ are college mascots etc. I’m much less creative than the many of you that have shared. What I found is inside of each family you can also have some underlying “themes”. Seeing your family names helped me realize this more too!
I wanted to be able to find a family where when called our kids knew it was a coverage or blitz or front or stunt or 3rd down pressure from a certain front with a certain type of coverage behind it.
The latter of them could be something like villains. Villains are front this front and Batman villains are cover 3 based but spider man. Villains are cover 4 based.
Hadn’t gotten that deep down the rabbit hole until some of you started sharing.
Appreciate the great Huey family for being so giving up great information.

K Draw got its name because the QBs names started with a K. I told the story of my first job. Our offense was essentially inside veer with ov sprinkled in. They were red and black. Supposedly due to the stripes of the local university. If you spend 5 seconds in that town, and you know my hs coach and 1st boss. Probably more to do with the liquor store named essentially the same thing. And it makes complete sense. LOL! |

I don't think anyone said you had to word associate anything. There are obviously tons of coaches who don't. I doubt Lombardi or Bryant did. Context, context. Says the guy who's using Bill Walsh as an example |

Says the guy who's using Bill Walsh as an example So my first boss was bill Walsh? Dont think so. What in the world are you even talking about? What possible leap can you be making? Did anyone on god's green earth make any comment about Bill Walsh being your first boss? I'm pretty sure, given your posts, that would have been a very short apprenticeship. |

I'm pretty sure, given your posts, that would have been a very short apprenticeship. At least mine would have been possible. Been a pleasant experience. This dude's like a parody account, right? |

Well now you have to draw up that play for us!!!  Or at least explain it! FTTF |

I believe Moorehead/ Rahne do this. So they would group all their plays based off of the blocking scheme and group them into a family, say Zone Slice, and then name them directionally and with built in tags. So let’s say the Family is “Slice” and they use college mascots to denote the plays so the call might be “Skullly” for slice left and “Sparky” for slice right.

Well now you have to draw up that play for us!!! Or at least explain it! FTTF Now, I'm not sure I want to draw it up since we do still use it, although not as much as in the past (after a while, people do catch on)----but it basically takes advantage of all the teams that play man on the goal line. We run it inside the 5, trips to one side, best guy is #3. The other two receivers on trips side run hitches to the inside, #3 goes to about one yd from the end line and breaks to corner. Defender will always be on his back. If defender on one of the "hitches" inside drops, QB throws there instead. Otherwise, over the top to the corner for #3. Hope that makes sense. There are some coaching points I didn't go into that help make it work (I know they're not technically hitches). |
