BENCH
10yards
Huddle: 1. The Offensive Center will set the huddle 6 yards from the Line of Scrimmage and directly behind the ball. He will face away from the ball and make a HUDDLE call. All other players will form a U huddle around the QB.
2.
Hustle at all times into and out of the Huddle. We have 25 precious seconds.
3.
The QB will be the last man into the huddle after receiving the play from the coach.
4.
When the QB steps into the huddle he must have command of the entire offensive team. All offensive personnel should stop talking and focus on the QB.
5.
Our Huddle will reflect our offensive team. If we are sharp, up-tempo, poised, and aggressive that is how are opponents will perceive us. HUSTLE, HUSTLE!!!!!!!!!!!
Play Calling In the Huddle

A. When the QB steps into the huddle all eyes and focus is on his instructions. All other players stop talking immediately. B. QB will then Call " FORMATION, BACKFIELD SETS, MOTION, PLAY, SNAP COUNT NUMBER, SNAP COUNT NUMBER. C. EXAMPLES RIGHT Z LOOP 52 Double Post ON ONE, ON ONE, READY BREAK !! D. When the QB says "READY BREAK" in the huddle, all eight players should then say all together "READY BREAK". Remember we must establish an attitude from the huddle on how wwe plan to attack the opponents defense. Our attitude in and out of the huddle will be reflective of our offensive success. E. QB cadence at the line of Scrimmage. Go.........Hut.......Hut.......Hut F. The "CADENCE" will be referred to as a non-rhythmic snap count. The QB Should Change the Rhythm of the snap count and use his voice to hold the defensive linemen. It is the offensive team's job to get off on the QB's cadence. 1. We will rarely go on ONE. 2. We will usually go on TWO or THREE. 3. To start any plyer in motion, the QB will use a heel kick to start the motion. 4. "EASY, EASY" Call made by the QB if he wants to restart his cadence. G. HARD COUNT- The hard count is referring to the QB adding Voice Influction to the Cadence. This is vital in Arena Football to hold the Defense from timing up the snap count. The hard count is the QB's ability to use our non-rhythmic count and voice alterations to try and get the defense to jump. H. 1 Minute Offense. We will use this formation at the end of the half or end of the game when we are in a HURRY UP situation. Every player on the offense must respond with a sense of urgency as well as maintaining composure. 1. Quarterback will give the 1 Minute Offense Signal. 2. He will then call a right or left call to set the formation. 3. Right or Left will also declare either 52 protection=Right or 53 protection= Left. 4. He will then give the Recievers a hand signal for the following. a. HANDS DOWN is ALL STOPS. b. 1 FINGER STINGER is Sting Switch. c. FIST IN HAND is Smash. d. BENCH PRESS action is Benches. e. CROSSING FINGERS is Crossers. f. INDEX FINGER CIRCLING IN TORNADO is Storm. 5. The QB can tag any route with a HITCH by pointing(tagging) the reciever and pointing to his heel.

RATTLERS OFFENSE
Offensive Pass Protections
Rattlers Football Protecting the QB

We must be able to protect the QB to be successful in Arena Football. The defense is limited in what they can do to put the pressure on the QB. We must NEVER ALLOW the QB to be pressured or sacked. Pressure from a pass rush can result in loss of yardage, turnovers and disruption of timing between the QB and receivers. Sound protection is based on effective blocking techniques and effort. Blown assignments resulting in unblocked pass rushers should never happen in our game. The defense can only rush 4 players; we know which 4 can come and all are limited in the stunts they can use. We must anticipate the snap count, set quick, hands up looking thru the window and always be prepared to step and strike. We need to outwork our opponents for 5 seconds and then hustle downfield to help your teammates or recover a loose ball. Remember, you are the most important man in every play. In Arena Football, the pass rush can get on the QB much quicker than the 11 man game. The offensive blockers must have the ability to flatten out the move of the pass rusher redirecting him away from the QB.
Pass Protection Technique

You will hear these coaching points constantly while we execute our passing game. Work on them diligently each day and you will improve in pass protection.
Flatten the move refers to the action of pass protecting and redirecting the pass rusher move towards the boards. The diagram below illustrates this:
Understanding Pass Protection is the angles between the Defensive linemens start path and the launch point of the ball from the QB.
Optimal path for pass rusher.
Flatten the pass rush move towards the boards. With both players forces being equal this would be the path of the pass rusher. QB throws the ball,

QB Set point on 5 step drop.
offense wins
Kick Slide will refer to your steps as you work to the outside to flatten out the outside rusher. You willquickly and firmly kick back and square with your kick or outside leg and foot and then quickly slide the same distance with your inside foot. Your base should remain the same throughout the progression. Pound the Post will refer to your steps as you shut off and stuff the inside pass rusher. You will pound your Post or inside leg and foot for the rusher to cross your inside leg. You must always double up on your pound the post step. P-step is the same as pound the post but is a shorter step. It refers to picking up the inside foot and pounding it in almost the exact same position. You will use this step when the rusher is only a threat to go inside. Slide Block will be executed by the designated lineman in our slide protection while stepping down to block the Nose and the Mac. Your initial footwork is pound the post to close off any daylight between you and the center. You must help the center by stopping the charge of the Nose at the LOS. Your eyes must be aware of the Mac. Gap Block will be executed by the FB in our gap protection while blocking the Nose. Initial footwork must get you on the near hip of the Center with only a slight stagger, while closing off any daylight between you and the Center. Cut Block This is the technique we will use early in a game when blocking the DE in our quick passing game (30s). The objective is to get the DEs hands down and open up passing lanes. Take a quick position step and attack the DE inside out with your head up. Your aiming point is 6 inches above the knee of the DEs inside leg. Always be aggressive and dont leave your feet until you can step on the defenders toes. Never miss to the outside allowing the DE to interfere with the passing lane. This is a very effective weapon that we must perfect. It will slow down good pass rushers and cause them to lose effectiveness throughout the course of a game. Stab Set Refers to using aggressive footwork and getting your hands on defenders immediately. This is an effective change up to a cut block provided we keep the defenders out of a passing lane. It is important that you establish a good base and posture after you punch the defender. Drive Set Another aggressive change up to a cut block. You will execute drive block technique. Take a short drive set with outside foot to outside instep of DL. Lock hands onto inside numbers of DL. Move off of LOS with short choppy steps and wide base. Chest on thighs swing your tail to keep DL between your legs. If DL lines up tight to head up you must step with inside foot first.
5 Most Important Factors in Pass Protections

1. Stance- 2 point or 3 point stance. Heel toe stagger with feet about shoulder width and not too wide, feet should point straight ahead with shoulders square to LOS. Bend in the knees with flat back. You should be able to execute all blocks from this stance. 2. Footwork- Kick Slide/Pound the Post footwork will be executed. You must move your feet quickly on the snap count and position yourself to a head up to inside attitude on the defender. Maintain a consistant base and never cross over or get too narrow. Your base will widen when you have engaged the defender. 3. Posture- You should maintain the proper posture throughout the progression. Legs should be bent with proper "Z" in the inside knee. Back should be locked and flat with chest out and shoulders back. Weight should be distribute evenly on both feet. 4. Hand Placement- From the moment you take your set your hands should be up and inside protecting your numbers. Thumbs should be up, elbows in and ready to take a short 8 inch punch. You should never drop you hands. You should always be able to look through your hands at the defender.. 5.Punch- Patience and timing should be the most important aspect of our punch. Wait until the defender is close enough to smell his breath and deliver a violent punch the defenders numbers and lock on if you can. Never reach for the defender. You must maintain good posture while punching and never lose the "Z" in your inside knee.
