The call
| Position | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Playside guard | open pull, gain depth on the first two steps, kick out the end man on the line (E). |
| Backside guard | pull deeper than the playside guard and lead up through the alley, blocking the first wrong jersey. Drawn with an arrow rather than a block mark because against this front every box defender is already accounted for, so the target is whoever fills. |
| Halfback | crossover through the heels of the fullback, read the playside guard's kick-out, then a sharp cut up through the alley behind the backside guard. |
| Fullback | side step to clear the midline, fake the trap to hold the linebackers, fill the backside A gap. |
| Quarterback | reverse pivot off the midline, hand to the halfback crossing, then sprint to the line faking the waggle. |
| Tight end | down block on the playside tackle (T). |
| Playside tackle | climb to the middle linebacker (B). |
| Wingback | first free man inside, which against this front is the playside linebacker (B). Stay on the block after contact. |
| Center | block the nose (N), protecting the playside A gap. |
| Backside tackle | hard gap step and seal the backside tackle (T). |
| Split end | push off the line two or three steps, then sprint for center field to cut off the free safety. |
