Plays Examples

If we move to a three receiver set with no running back, (a Trips formation or Twins with a single receiver split opposite the call side), we now have a middle, or M receiver. Our play call formula remains the same – the play call is your receivers from left to right followed by the center call (since there is no running back in these formations there are no running back calls).

Trips Right – Left Fly – Middle Fly – Right Fly – Center Arrow


If we stick with our formula, the same play in a different formation will look like this.



Twins Right – No Back – Left Fly – Middle Stop – Right Fly – Center Arrow





1 – Quick Out, 2 – Slant, 3 – Deep Out, 4 – Drag/In, 5 – Flag, 6 – Curl, 7 – Post Corner, 8 – Post, 9 - Fly

If you are using the numeric play calling system from the passing tree we would call these plays:

Trips Left – 222- Center Arrow or Trips Right – 222 – Center Arrow

The goal of this play is to isolate your center for an easy completion. This play works well in a man-to-man cover situation with one safety and one rusher, where you are able to run all the defenders out of the area you want your center to go. The key to this play is to have your center delay for a count of two to three seconds to allow your other receivers the chance to cross the centers face at a deep angle (hopefully drawing the safety into the coverage) and take their defenders at full speed away from the play. Once the rusher is focused on the quarterback, the center can then release to the play side and should find himself/ herself wide open.
