Translating Quarterback Play-Calling Language!

I prefer Matt Ryan's style "GET F*CKING SET!"

Offensive play call: “trap right to west left x post scatter z spot” Defence: “ send the house boys “

I like Brady’s style. “Gronk, stand up” and “Julian! Get in the slot”

Seeing how complicated the normal play calling is and then remembering that Peyton had like 100 different audibles is mind boggling

"Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a sesame-seed bun. On 2, break!"

"A lot of teams use cities names" Peyton Manning: I'm about to make Omaha's whole career

Mahomes play-call: Obtuse, rubber goose, green mosse, guava juice Giant shake, birthday cake, large fries, chocolate shake

I've been waiting on this video my entire life

"You zipped when you should have zapped" 🤬🤷

Tell that to Stafford "cLoCk iT! cLoCk iT!"

high school was simple. We just had a name for a play like "cowboy pass" and everything was already defined. In college we named the formation, the hole, who got the ball, the snap count and the pass patterns. For example, "blue right, 32 wham pass 69-77 z. Blue was the formation with two split backs, TB behind the QB, and FB behind left tackle. 32 wham meant 3 back through the 2 hole. .. (holes are the gaps. in our offense even to the right, odd to the left). QB was usually number 1, TB 2, FB 3, slot or wing 4. WR (off the line) was 7, Strong side TE was 6, Weak side was 8. 32 wham pass meant play action to the 3 back through the 2 hole with a double team between the G/T on either side of that 2 hole (2nd from center so between G and T). 69 meant 6 receiver (strong side TE ran a 9 pattern and the 7 receiver ran a 7 pattern. patterns were numbered, even to the outside, odd to the inside. z was the motion pattern. Receivers had to read the defense and adjust the route accordingly. we didn't normally call the route for the 3rd receiver. It was up to the 3rd receiver to run a compliment pattern to the two patterns called in the huddle. In our system, we named the snap count, then at the LOS, the Qb would read the defense (motion often caused the D to declare their true intention). His cadense went like this: 2-61, 2-61, down GO . . . If we had called the snap count as "on 2" in the huddle, then if he called a 2 as his first number, he just changed the play. In the case of my example, he changed the play to a 61, which simply meant the 6 receiver (Strrong side TE), would run a '1' pattern, which meant a quick look in over the middle. In this case, the QB probably saw a potential blitz by the Mike (Middle linebacker). When the TE heard the 61, he knew (and also probably observed the Mike LB as well as the motion developed). He would then run a "hot route" over the middle approximating the 1 pattern. Basically supposed to go to the spot the MLB just vacated. So its really fairly simple. As that TE I caught a lot of passes on the audible to the 61.

Meanwhile in madden, "ohio, ohio" can mean everything.

There’s quantum mechanics and then there’s play calling

I bet they were cleaning the office and they found this unseen footage

My uncle used to work for the Ravens from 99-04 so i used to go to practices a lot especially in the 03 Season.As a ball boy and carried players pads for fun especially in the summer during the camp when I was 14-15.Half the practice Brian Billick would spent teaching Kyle Boller how to remember plays and he still messed them up somehow.Until one day Ray Lewis just said screw it.They stopped practice for 10 minutes amd players went to the locker just to return after.Ray Lewis said Kyle Come with me.They returned with the team.After that Boller called every play to perfection.I dont know what the hell Ray could have done but he was laughing.And it worked.Being a Coach is harder than people think.Best QB Ravens had for their first 12 years was Trent Dilfer.It was brutal for us.

COOOOOOVVVVID. Nineteeeeeen. [audibling, waving frantically to the right] RONA, RONA, RONA!

This coming from someone who draws plays: Shotgun/Stack Weak, FB PA Sweep Strong, Spider Strong, X Wheel, Rollout Weak. Now, a breakdown. "Shotgun/Stack Weak" is the formation. Two slot receivers, one on the line of scrimmage, one about 2-3 yards off. They offset slightly left to right, and line up opposite to the tight end. There is one fullback and one halfback. The QB is about 5 yards behind the center with one of the running back on either side of him. "FB PA Sweep Strong" : The QB fakes a handoff to the fullback who then runs towards the sideline on the side of the formation with the tight end. "Spider Strong": The O-Line shifts to the side of the formation with the tight end. "X Wheel": The Strong side WR (in this case, the one closer to the side of the formation with the tight end) runs an outside wheel route. "Rollout Weak": The QB turns and moves towards the weak side of the formation (the side opposite of the TE) and proceeds with the passing play.

I gotta find out what Zap means 😂

The Respect i have now for FITZMAGIC for playing in 8 teams and throwing a touchdown in each one!
