O set. 447. Finally, the HB gets some love!

Howdy coaches, on my day off I decided not to spend the day in the 108 degree Texas heat, so I stayed inside and started with some ideas about a new blog post.

I had a lot of great feedback from the O set post so I figured I’d stay there. Issue is, I want to write about some Halfback plays, which, in this set, is awesome. But info and film on it can be kind of difficult to get ahold of. So I opened up the trusty scribd playbook and looked for the play called “147” which some coaches still call it that way. I was taught that when the web reverse pivots, it’s the 400 series. So that’s what I’ll call it. 447..


The play itself is very very downhill, with no pulling, but with a double team at the POA. I LOVE this play. 

Now, for the play. 



The blocking rules are actually pretty simple. 
The backside (strong side) goes downfield and gets the deep defenders. The strong guard scoops to second level. 

The centers rule is onside/backside. 
The quick guard (play side guard) hooks number 1 in this case, the backer 

Quick tackle double teams somewhere. If he’s uncovered, he doubles with the quick guard. 

If the Tailback hears a “5” call (5 tech) he doubles with the strong tackle. 

If no one there, he makes a “0” call and influence blocks #4. As shown above in the bottom left. 

The swing man takes most dangerous linebacker. 

The fullback will take a banana oath and kick the first man past the quick tackle. 

The halfback takes one step at #4 then pushes off and hits tight off the double team. 

The quarterback reversed out and hands the call as deep as possible. Then fakes 419. 



As I said before, I love this play and live the fact the HB gets another opportunity to run the ball, because in this offense, I’d go as far as to say that he’s more of a blocker than a runner. And as a huge fan of the swing man, nothing is more satisfying than blocking the most dangerous LB. that LB better have his head on a swivel!  


That concludes it for today. I’m trying to learn how to add video. So maybe look for that in the near future. Thanks for all the support coaches!
