Blocking strategy where each player is responsible for an area

Blocking technique used by receivers

a defensive scheme where players are assigned to cover specific areas of the field rather than individual receivers,

each defensive player is assigned to cover a specific offensive player (a receiver) and follows them around the field

a zone defense where four defensive backs (two cornerbacks and two safeties) each cover a quarter of the deep part of the field, aiming to prevent long passes

a zone defense where three defensive backs each cover a third of the deep part of the field, aiming to prevent long passes

a zone defense where two defensive backs (two safeties) each cover a half of the deep part of the field, aiming to prevent long passes

a man-to-man coverage scheme where all defensive backs except one (usually the free safety) are assigned to cover a specific receiver, with that lone safety playing deep in the middle of the field to react to the play

the space between the center and either of the guards (left or right) on the offensive line

the space between the guard and tackle on the offensive line

the space between the Tackle and Tight End or Wing on the offensive line

outside the Tight End or Wing, all the way to the sideline

Force the ball-carrier to the inside. Don't let the ball carrier get outside of you.

a specific technique used by the force player to attack the ball carrier's outside hip, limiting their movement and potentially forcing them back inside.

A defender who lines up between the #2 receiver and the end man on the line of scrimmage

the space outside the defensive line between the edge defender and the receiver on the line of scrimmage. It's an area that can become a potential lane for the ball carrier to run when the receiver is blocking

the short side of the field, opposite the wider "field" side

the wide side of the field, opposite the "Boundary" side

a defensive arrangement where an even number of defensive linemen (typically four) are positioned along the line of scrimmage

a defensive alignment where there is an odd number of down linemen (typically three)

the area on the defensive side of the ball where defensive players are positioned to focus on stopping a running play.

assessing the balance of offensive blockers against defenders in the area near the line of scrimmage

Numbering the Receivers

Receivers are numbered from the outside of the formation towards the center.

the offensive players' stance and stillness before the ball is snapped.

the distance between offensive linemen or wide receivers at the line of scrimmage. It describes how wide or tight they are spread out. "Tight" splits mean players are lined up closer together, while "wide" splits mean they are further apart

maintaining your shoulders parallel to the line of scrimmage

the order in which offensive linemen address defensive players on the field. It's a system where linemen prioritize blocking defensive linemen (first level), then linebackers (second level), and potentially defensive backs (third level).
