How to use this room
A play is the movie after the snap. First steps, not the formation picture.
Open Offense, Defense, or Special Teams. Then animate a board.
You do not need a 400-page playbook. These names are the ones you will hear on a Sunday broadcast.
Tap a link to see the diagram. Name That Play tests the same list.
Offense boards
Passing first.
A slant is a quick cut inside so the ball is out before a corner can close.
A go / fade is a straight-line race to stretch the field deep.
A screen invites the rush upfield, then throws behind it to a back or receiver with blockers.
Play-action fakes a handoff so linebackers step up, then throws into the space they left.
Run family.
Inside zone is a one-cut run. Pick a hole up the middle.
Outside zone stretches the defense toward the sideline. Then the runner cuts.
An RPO keeps run and pass live on the same snap. The quarterback reads one defender and either hands it or throws.
Formation is still the still picture. See formations and run vs pass.
Defense boards
Pressure.
A blitz sends an extra rusher so the quarterback has to throw hot.
An edge rush wins the corner of the pocket.
A zone blitz looks like extra rush. A big body actually drops into a throwing lane.
Coverage.
Cover 2 is two deep safeties, each owning half the sky.
Cover 3 splits the deep field three ways.
Man coverage follows a person, not a patch of grass.
Prevent is a late-game soft zone that gives the short stuff and refuses the bomb.
Run fit is everyone owning a lane so the runner has nowhere honest to go.
Coverage 101 walks Cover 2, Cover 3, and man in more detail.
Special teams boards
A kickoff starts the half and resets after most scores.
A punt is the fourth-down field flip. Hang time is the flex.
A field goal is three points through the uprights, or the extra-point kick after a touchdown.
Scoring explains the points. This room is the picture of the play itself.
