"Outlaw": Run responsibilities

• Falcon is a contain player, taking aggressive steps and keeping everything inside where he has help from his teammates. He cannot go further than 1 yard past the line of scrimmage

• Falcon is a C gap player, attacking the inside shoulder of the Tight End

• Falcon can play flat footed to allow the TE or RB to block him inside

• It is ok to chase the middle run before the ball carrier crosses the line

"Outlaw": Read key

• Cross read: The Falcon is watching the Running back on the opposite to see where he goes.

  Comes at you= Be ready for a play your side

  Goes away from you= Be ready for a play to the other side, but be ready for a QB boot or reverse to your side

• QB read: Falcon is watching the QB the entire time to be a spy

• Backfield read: Falcon is watching the backfield to see where the ball goes

"Outlaw": Coverage responsibilities

• Falcon should play the run first, then react to the pass. He should get hands on the outside of any leaking back and cover him if he goes into the flats. No one gets outside of him. He does not follow the flat route past 10 yards.

• Falcon is a pass first player, dropping immediately wide to the flat

• Falcon drops hook to curl, looking for a leaking back and cover him if he runs a route. He does not follow the route past 10 yards.

What are the ONLY blitzes/stunts that effect the Falcon?

• Falcon crash= Falcon blitzes off the edge

• Falcon switch= Falcon blitzes inside the TE (C gap) while in "Outlaw" at 1x2 outside leverage on the TE.

• Falcon Bail= Can only be called in "Base" formation. Falcon (Strong Safety) runs up to the outside gap and pretends that he is blitzing. Then before the snap he drops back into a deep hook to curl.

• Twister= Falcon blitzes inside and DE shoots outside.
