Why A Multiple Attack
●
●
Simple to implement at the youth and middle ages.
Allows you to quickly adapt the offense to attack the
defense's weakness
1) by expanding/compressing the edge (NASTY, LOOSE, TRIPS)
2) by unbalancing the formation(OVER call)
●
●
3) realigning the backfield (SHIFT, PRO, BULL/BEAR) to improve the Lines
of Force (LOF) and the Line of Attack (LOA)
Allows you to isolate a better offensives athlete against a
weak defender.
Allows you to remove a defender from the point of attack.

Can Be Scaled Up As Needed

●
The base is always TIGHT and we scale up as we determine the ability level
of our team.
We add the UNBALANCED/BASIC TAGS first (ON/OVER/OFFSET).
We add EDGE TAGS NEXT.
We add additional BACKFIELD TAGS based on what the offensive backfield
can handle. The line blocking schemes remain the same based on
POWER/COUNTER/ISO PODS.
Age 6 to 8 we use the TIGHT or SHIFT and OVER as a BASE.
Age 9 to 11 we use TIGHT and SHIFT and OVER along with LOOSE/NASTY as
a BASE. We then add up to three (3) backfield tags if needed and the team
is able to handle it.
12 and above we add on to 9 to 11 base based on ability/need.

Offensive Goals
•
28 points per game or better.
•
At least one TD and XP per quarter (7 points).
•
Higher time of possession than our opponent.
•
Higher Yards Rushing than our opponent.
•
An average of 5 yards per play or better.
•
No PLAYS FOR LOSS (PFL).
•
No offensive turnovers. (interceptions or fumbles)
•
No Pre-snap penalties (false snap, illegal formation, etc)
•
Less than two (

Play Calling
Tight Over Rip 26 Seal Right
Formation Edge tag Motion/Strength Back/Hole Blocking
Scheme
Wall Side
Wall side is the side the WALL
BLOCKERS line up on.
RIP/LIZ is BSWB power motion
and the direction of POWER
ACTION
RED/BLUE is the same as
RIP/LIZ without motion
Numbering System:
10 = QB
20 = LWB (AB)
30 = BB
40 = RWB (CB)
RED/BLUE can also go at the
front of the backfield tag to
simplify play call.

Rules and Examples of Play Calling
Tight Rip 26 Seal Right
Tight Over Rip 26 Seal Right
Tight Loose Over Rip 26 Seal Right
Rule 1: Because Tight is our base alignment we often don't add it into the play
call so our plays actually look like this when we intend them to be in TIGHT:
Rip 26 Seal Right
Over Rip 26 Seal Right
Loose Over Rip 26 Seal Right
Rule 2: Wing back running/faking power; motion pre-snap we call RIP/LIZ and
if no motion is needed for the backfield we call RED/BLUE.
Motion: (CP: Use this as a tool to remind the wing backs about motion)
Tight Rip 26 Seal Right) (CP: RED/BLUE can be in front of the backfield tag)
No Motion:
Shift Red 26 Seal Right or Red Shift 26 Seal Right (either is correct)

NOTES ON WILD FORMATION TAG
● This is based on the wildcat formation that has gained popularity.
● It puts a LOOSE look on the far side of the power action which is
opposite of what we do as a base look.
● When we do want to run to the loose side we call OVER for TKO
based plays otherwise we run ISO based plays to the backside and
wedge plays to the interior.
● Two specific reasons we run WILD:
● Use the JET tag to put the BSWB (SLOT) into JET motion in front of
the QB (Cross his face) to run JET behind the POWER SERIES (using
BSWB as a decoy
● Use the PIN and SLIP sweeps to the BSWB running JET MOTION.
● We run POWER SERIES also with the LOOSE static (no JET) to set
up our perimeter passing game as well.
● Fun twist on our power series (power/counter/ISO pods).

Red Eagle
Formation tag
BSTE becomes a SE and aligns 8 to 12 yards out.
BSWB aligns one yard inside of SE and his inside TOE is aligned to the back heel of
the SE.
PSTE becomes a SE and aligns 8 to 12 yards out.
PSWB aligns one yard inside of SE and his inside of TOE is aligned to the back heel of
the SE.
QB aligns 4 to 5 yards behind the Center.
BB aligns his toes to the QB's heel on the call side and splits the OG/OT.

Eagle Notes
This is a immense variation in what we typically do but it enhances our basic
power schema because defenses our often unprepared to defend a spread
variation and a compressed/power variation in the same offense.
Edge Tags used with EAGLE: (note BB sets RED/BLUE side)
TRIPS (3x1) – PSWB moves to inside slot in between BSWB and OT (away from
BB)
BUNCH (3x1) – BSWB/BSTE/PSWB form a bunch triangle and the SE(TE) sets
from the OT at 6 yards.
QUADS – BSWB moves to inside slot in between PSWB and OT (near BB) on the
opposite side of the BB.
QUAKE – PSWB/PSTE/BSWB from a bunch triangle and the SE sets from the OT
at 6 yards on the same side of the BB.
EMPTY – BB goes to inside slot between the PSWB and the OT.
EXAMPLES: RED EAGLE TRIPS, RED EAGLE BUNCH, RED EAGLE EMPTY, BLUE
EAGLE QUADS, BLUE EAGLE QUAKE.

Understanding the Points of Attack
Perimeter
Edge
Interior
Edge
Perimeter
LWB (20) QB (10)/BB (30) RWB (40)
Three points of attack on each side of the center: interior, edge, and
perimeter. I have gotten away from using GAP concepts (A, B, C, D)
because of the use of angle blocking concepts often change the point
of attack dependent on the defensive structure. Instead we attack a
location.

Understanding the Points of Attack

Edge
Perimeter
When you include the passing game the passes are going to be
directed at the perimeter (flat), the vertical outs on each side and the
vertical middle.

Common Perimeter Triangle
Defensive Approaches
53 Defense with a reduced
perimeter due to OLB stacking over
head up DT on OT. CB is
compressing inside and to LOS.
2 in the PERIMETER TRIANGLE.
53 Defense with an expanded
defensive end and a wide
corner back. 3 in the
PERIMETER TRIANGLE.

Unbalanced Tags
Edge Tag
On: WB moves onto the LOS foot to foot with
near side tight end.
Over: pulling tackle aligns on the wall side in
between the wall tackle and wall tight end.
Offset: BB in sniffer position behind QB offsets
to a sniffer position behind the WALL
GUARD/TACKLE.
Purpose
Isolate perimeter triangle from interior
defenders. Expand TKO WALL to move
EMLOS/DE out.
Same as ON (above). Create an unbalanced
line. Put the PST (pulling side tackle) over to
the wall side to add additional blocker at POA.
It allows the BB to move closer to his kick out
path.

Compressed Edge Tags
Edge Tag
Nasty: WB and Wall TE swap positions.
Loose: Tight end moves out to a SE position
and the WB aligns in a SLOT position.
Bunch: Tight end moves out to a SE #2 receiver
from outside, near WB moves to the #1 flanker
position, and the far WB (TB) moves to the #3
slot receiver position inside.
Trips: Tight end moves to #1 split end position,
near WB moves to the #2 flanker position, and
far WB moves to the #3 slot position.
Split: Tight end moves to #1 split end position.
Wide: WB moves to the #1 flanker position
same as the split but off the LOS.
Spread: A variation of the Loose tag. SE goes
to his normal split and the WB splits the
difference between the SE and the OT.
Purpose
Isolate perimeter triangle from interior
defenders by putting the EMLOS/DE into an
alignment conflict.
Stress the perimeter triangle by forcing it to
expand outward. It forces the CB and often the
OLB to move out with the pair.
Stress the perimeter triangle and the secondary
coverage to expand outward. It often forces
the CB, OLB, and ILB to move out with 3x RXR.
Same as BUNCH but we align our SE and
Flanker in different positions and the are more
spread out.
Allows us to dislocate a perimeter/edge
defender away from the point of attack or
place a primary receiver one on one.
This is used in the perimeter passing game
when we want better splits between the SE and
SLOT.

Eagle Edge Tags
Edge Tag (BS = away from RB)
Bunch: BSSE is the #2 receiver on the LOS and
is split 6 to 10 yards from OT. The BS-SLOT is
the #1 receiver and aligns on the outside of the
#2 and off the LOS. PS-SLOT is the #3 and
inside of the #2 off the LOS.
Trips: BSSE is the #1 receiver on the LOS and
split 8 to 12 yards. The BS-SLOT is 1 yard inside
of the SE and off the LOS. The PS-SLOT is the
#3 receiver and splits the distance between the
#2 and the near OT.
Spread: A variation of the Loose tag. SE goes
to his normal split and the WB splits the
difference between the SE and the OT.
Purpose
Bunch formation is a good way of compressing
man coverage and running crossing route and
flood route.
Same as BUNCH but we align our SE and
Flanker in different positions and the are more
spread out.
This is used in the perimeter passing game
when we want better splits between the SE and
SLOT.
Quads: Same as Trips except it is on the near
side of the RB (thus four receivers on one side).
Quake: Same as Bunch except on the near side
of the RB.
Empty: The RB moves to the inside slot as if
TRIPS on the call side.

Red Eagle Titan
Titan is the call we make to put the SE into a TE on the away side of the
RB. We use when we want to A) add one more line man to extend out the
pass rush on the backside (TE releases into pass route) , B) When we
think the defense will ignore the BSTE in pass route.
