The document describes Raven's football playcalling system which uses a two-digit numbering scheme to communicate play information. The first number indicates the ball carrier, and the second number indicates the point of attack. Additional terms are used to indicate the formation, motion, series action, and blocking scheme for each play. Several sample plays are provided along with explanations of each player's responsibilities.

1. RAVEN'S FOOTBALL

2. PLAYCALLING SYSTEM The play calling system used to communicate information necessary for a play to be executed is combined into a two digit numbering scheme. These two digit numbers may be preceded by a term indicating the formation followed by any term used as an alternation of the formation. After the formation comes the symbol used to designate motion. The first number indicates the ball carrier, while the second number indicates the point of attack. Following the two digit numbers will be a term identifying the series action and blocking scheme. Formation Alternation Motion Ball Carrier Point of Attack Series/Blocking Scheme Tight Right Stud S 4 7 Jet Sweep

3. QB FB 1 3 2 4 SB HB NUMBERING SYSTEM First Digit: The first digit assigns the ball carrier. The backs are numbered as follows: QB is #1 - HB is #2 - FB is #3 - SB is #4. Second Digit: The second digit assigns the point of attack. There are nine points of attack. With the exception of the two flank areas, the holes are numbered between the area of the offensive lineman. The second digit also indicates the direction of flow of the backfield. Even numbers signify flow to the right and odd numbers to the left. 1 3 5 7 2 4 6 8 ODD EVEN 0

4. MOTION Motion is the means to move the back from one location to another creating a new formation without setting for a full second. Motion, like shifting is a device used to confuse and exploit the defense. When starting in motion, it is important to remember that the rest of the offense has to be set for one count . A. JET MOTION - (Jet Sweep): Leaving from a Wing or Slot position at full speed across the formation with the ball being snapped when the motion back reaches the OG. B. 3 STEP MOTION - (Down Option): Leaving from a Wing or Slot position aiming for the heels of the FB with the ball being snapped when the motion back reaches the near leg of the OT. C. SLIDE MOTION - (Belly Slide): Leaving from a Wing or Slot position at 3/4 speed across the formation once you reach a point about 1 yd before the point of attack then you turn facing the LOS and shuffle to the point of attack. D. COUNTER MOTION - (Midline): Leaving from a Wing or Slot position aiming for the heels of the FB with the ball being snapped when the motion back reaches the near leg of the OT. On the snap of the ball the motion back then will attack through the B or C Gap

5. TRADE & SHIFT Trade means that the TE will on a signal from the QB align on the opposite side of the formation from his original position. A) Tight Right to B) Slot Left Shifting means that the outside receiver on one side will align himself as a TE on the same side while the inside receiver on the opposite side of the formation will go from a TE to a SE. A) Tight Right to B) Tight Left
