Interestingly enough, we put this on the sheet after our first week when we had to put the brakes on and stop scoring. The “can lead by 45 points” is a reminder to us about our league mercy rule: if we ever lead by 45 points, our association president will have to write a letter to the league leadership explaining how we let things get out of hand. Never had a block or a return and (I still need to do some analysis) I think we averaged about 30 yards a punt. Midway through the season we installed a shield punt which worked perfectly for us. We actually started the season without a traditional punt play – we used a roll-out rugby style run/pass/punt option that just wasn’t working well enough for us. The punting section is just a reminder of our punting philosophy, which was generally to avoid punting. These are just quick reminders for Brian to find plays to call under the specified situation. Generally speaking they are sweep plays that go to the numbers (not buck sweep of course) and we coach our players to stay inbounds when we are in Tank mode. The plays under Tank are suggested plays to call when we are trying to run out the clock. This allows to get into a hurry up, no huddle without sending in a play after each down. Mustang and Tank ScriptsĪctually, only Mustang is a true “script” and represents a sequence of four plays that we practice all week that we think will be good against the next opponent.
This requires that I also print out new wrist coaches, but only the QBs wear the wrist coach so not a big deal. All of the players know the Down play is “Texas” so if the team was in no huddle we would just yell out “Right Texas”.Įvery week I mix up this matrix and move things around so the codes are never the same (though “Texas” is always “Down” throughout the season). The “code word” you see with each play is another way to call it, usually when we go no huddle. We could also say “Right Dodger 5” or “Right Blue 5”. For example, to call Down it would be “Right Cowboy 5”. We group the plays by series, and the column heading and number are how we will usually call in the play if we need to relay it quickly from a distance. In the upper left (where you see Cowboy / Dodger, etc.) you’ll see our primary play call matrix. For example, if the other team has 1 timeout and we have 2nd down, if there is 1:06 left on the clock (or less) it is safe to take a knee. The time given is the maximum amount of time that can be on the game clock when the referee “chops” to start the play clock. The rows are the current down, the columns are how many timeouts the other team has. You’ll also see a “take a knee” grid which gives us a quick way to determine under what conditions we can take a knee without giving possession back to the other team. I keep a sharpie tucked into my shirt during the game and mark off on my laminated copy as timeouts are taken. Time out tracking and clock managementĪt the top of the caller is a tracking area for timeouts for both sides.
FOOTBALL X AND O SHEET PDF
You can download a PDF version to help read along, and I’ll also give images from specific sections throughout the article. The back side of the caller is filled with our offensive, defensive, and special teams depth charts. The play caller is printed on legal-sized (8.5“ x 14”) paper and laminated. Think of me as the designer and advisor, but when game time hit it was important that the call sheet primarily support how Brian wants to manage the game. This sheet was a collaboration with my co-head coach Brian who is responsible for play calling.
FOOTBALL X AND O SHEET UPDATE
I’m overdue for an update on our play call sheet so I figured I’d share one that we used mid-season this year and explain some of the key elements.
