8 MAN FOOTBALL OFFENSIVE LINE

CALLS ARE MADE STRONG SIDE TO WEAK SIDE STARTING WITH THE TE POSITION & TACKLE

THE PLAYER MAKING THE CALL WILL DICTATE:

-IF HE IS WORKING ALONE ON A ONE ON ONE BLOCK OR

-WORKING A ZONE COMBINATION SCHEME WITH THE NEXT ADJACENT LINEMAN.

THE OFFENSIVE LINE & TE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SIX MDM DEFENDERS STRONG TO WEAK.

THE FOOTWORK WILL BE WIDER THAN A NORMAL INSIDE ZONE.

THE OFFENSIVE LINE JUST NEEDS TO GET THE DEFENSIVE LINE & LB’S FLOWING WEAK.
