Field Zone Identification
Backed up- (-15 to -1) Pinned deep. Alert for hard count because the offense will try to
steal 5 yards. Be ready for protected runs, quick pass game and max protection play
action shots. From the -1 to the -5. Goal is to get turnover or force punt attempt from
this area. SWARM to the ball and get it out.
Dead Zone (-19 to -11) The Offense need to get one first down and into the Green zone
! Need to create negative plays and force predictable 3rd down. TFLs and ball
disruptions.
Open Field (-20 to +40) We will be more passive and expect shots/ explosive attempts
here. We will use pressure here
Green Zone (+40 to +20)- Entire gameplan is still in play. Expect a shot play early upon
getting into this area.
