Trips right

Three receivers set to the right of the formation and the back stays in the backfield. The published diagram is that alignment on the field.

Slant

The slant is a short inside break off the line. The diagram shows the release and the window, not a full defensive call.

Cover 2 and goal line

Cover 2 puts two deep safeties over the halves. The goal-line diagram packs the box in front of the end zone.

Ready diagrams

  • Trips right

    The quarterback and running back sit in the backfield, the X receiver is wide left and three receivers stack to the right. Use it to overload one side against two corners and two safeties.

  • Slant

    The slot receiver breaks inside on a short slant and the quarterback throws into that window ahead of the cornerback. Use it for quick yards when the defence plays off coverage.

  • Cover 2

    Two cornerbacks take the flats, two safeties split the deep halves and a linebacker holds the middle. Draw it to show which areas each defender guards against the pass.

  • Goal line

    The running back dives forward behind the quarterback near the end zone, with two tight blockers on each side. Use it for short yardage inside the red zone.
