The document provides guidance for offensive linemen on key responsibilities and techniques. It emphasizes playing as a cohesive unit, finishing blocks, recognizing defensive fronts, executing zone blocking schemes properly through combo blocks, and dominating the line of scrimmage with physical play. Rules are outlined for practices, and techniques are described for stances, blocks, and working in sync on double teams.
University of Nevada head coach Chris Ault developed the Pistol offense in 2004 as a way to add a power running game to the spread formation. The Pistol Offense, which is a cross between under center formations and the shotgun formation, lines the quarterback up three to four yards behind the center (rather than seven yards, as with the shotgun formation). In this formation, the quarterback is close enough to the line of scrimmage to be able to read the defense and far enough back to give him extra time and a better vision of the field just like in the shotgun.

This can be useful in developing a campaign to reinforce the need for a sales or marketing oriented playbook.
Most business functions have rules and guidelines for success. Accountants have the GAP accounting rules. Operations teams have standard operating procedures. Even sixth grade Football teams have a playbook. In fact they have a playbook that is 42 pages long.
Now selling is probably more complicated than what a sixth grade football team does so we can agree we probably need a Playbook?

Defenses in basketball can be complex but they all stem form basic principles. This presentation was given at the FIBA COACHES CLINIC: LEVEL ONE MODULE II in Windhoek, Namibia
3. “ If you are versatile, tough and smart you will be a successful offensive lineman.”
-- Grey Ruegamer (Offensive lineman for the New York Giants)

“Linemen are literally the unsung heroes of the game. Their situation is analogous to the infantry in warfare. They do the
hard, bitter fighting for victory. As the generals reap the headlines in war, the backs reap the headlines in football. Yet in
their hearts, the generals and backs know that victory and the accolades came to them through the work of the foot
soldiers and linemen.”
Gomer Jones

68. We will use 3 Types of Pass Sets:
• Jump Set
• Kick Set (Drop and Drag)
• Vertical Set
69. • This is an attacking pass set use mostly by centers and guards but can be
used by tackles to switch up their set vs. a heavy or tight technique
• Snap your head up out of your stance
• Mirror defenders feet with yours exactly how you would on inside zone
landmarks
• Attack the inside number and sternum with a 2 hand punch
• Stun him off the L.O.S.
• If you can lock up do so, if not pull punch back and reset off the L.O.S
70. • Kick Set (Kick and Post)
• Snap your head up and
back out of your stance
• Set to the near point
• Be patient with your
punch
• Make him commit to one
direction (Outside)
• If you land a solid punch
inside, lock him up and
anchor. Never get beat
inside!!!
71. • This set is used by our tackles when they have to block a wide
technique or speed rusher.
• Tackles must gain ground on the first 2 initial kick slides.
(maybe 3)
• DON’T BE A SLOOPER!!! Stay Square in your kick slide. Don’t
turn until the DE makes you turn. Then Punch near target and
make him go around
• Keep your inside toe pointed straight up the field. This will
help keep your shoulders square and you can change
directions vs. a counter move inside and brace against the
bull rush
72. • Tackles have 5 yards of depth to work with
• Cannot allow inside penetration
• Tackles have 5 yards of depth to work with
• Cannot allow inside penetration
• Centers and Guards have 3 yards of space to work with
• Cannot get beat off the ball
• Cannot allow inside penetration
• Critical to keep defenders in front
• Back against the cliff mentality

80. “We are offensive linemen, part of the o-line. Five guys working as a unit within the football
team to establish the tempo and demeanor of the game. Our job description doesn't sound
fun, interesting or flashy, nor should it. Those who know football know the game is won or lost
in the trenches, along the line. We start the play and if we are good we finish it. We are the O-
Line, we set the examples, we "LEAD FROM THE FRONT.”
-- Grey Ruegamer (Offensive lineman for the New York Giants)
“The heart and soul of any good football team is its offensive line. There's no position that
requires more discipline or technique than offensive lineman. Success as an offensive football
team hinges on their ability to control the line of scrimmage.”
81. 1. SELFLESSNESS-BECOMING A MAN MEANS SERVING SOMEONE OR SOMETHING GREATER THAN YOURSELF.
CHANGE THE THOUGHT PROCESS FROM SELF TO “US”. “No man has ever risen to the real stature of spiritual
manhood until he has found that it is finer to serve somebody else than it is to serve himself.” ~ Woodrow T.
Wilson
2. CONSISTENCY-REAL MEN ARE PEOPLE THAT OTHERS CAN COUNT ON. ANYONE CAN DO THINGS RIGHT ONCE IN A
WHILE, A REAL MAN DOES ALL THE TIME. SHOWING UP TO CLASS, DOING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS, MAKING
WORKOUTS EARLY NOT ON TIME! ETC CONSISTENCY IS THE GAME FOR PROS, WHO ACTUALLY HAVE PEOPLE
COUNTING ON THEM, MEN WITH REAL RESPONSIBILITY, REAL MEN.
3. HUMILITY-REAL MEN ARE SECURE IN THEIR ABILITIES AND DO NOT FIND IT NECESSARY TO PLACE THEMSELVES IN
HIGHER ESTEEM THAN THOSE AROUND THEM. REAL MEN CHOOSE RESTRAINT AND HUMILITY. TAKE CARE OF
YOUR TEAMMATES AROUND YOU, TEACH THEM HOW TO DO THINGS THE RIGHT WAY.
My power will be in humility ~ Walter Russell

THE PAIN OF COMMITMENT
COMMITMENT CAN BE PAINFUL. INDEED, IT IS THE POSSIBILITY OF
PAIN, THAT COMMITMENT FINDS MEANING AND POWER. OF WHAT
VALUE COULD COMMITMENT BE IF IT DID NOT HAVE ITS PRICE?

EXPECT PAINFUL TIMES
BE READY TO MAKE SACRIFICES
BE READY TO SEE IT THROUGH

DISCIPLINE EFFORT
TOUGHNESS
DO WHAT YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO
DO WHEN YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO
DO IT EXACTLY LIKE IT’S SUPPOSED
