MQ How To: Creating a Game Plan & Call Sheet

In this episode of MQ How To, Coach A. details how to make a game plan chart. Starting with personnel & working through Down & Distance (D&D), this chart can help a coach see how offenses are attacking a defense on certain downs. At the end are the Red Zone and Goal Line sections that help a coach construct a plan for those field zones. Finally, Coach A. brings it all together and explains how this sheet can turn into your game day call sheet.

When playing an all 11 team, would you see an issue with replacing the personnel column with a Yard Line column (A-F). I have a hit chart as is that tells me what is going on by formation and personnel. Curious on what you think about this. Thanks for your help as always!

[@MatchQuarters]

When I go up against an all-11 team I usually put the formation in its corresponding Pers. grouping, so I know how the offense changes as the look changes. I could see if you are only getting certain formations that using where they are used as a tendency pick up.

Coach, what do you mean by “P and 10” in the first down column?

[@craigbarnes2160]

The 'P' refers to Possession, meaning their first play after they get the ball. As Coach says, you may be able to be a bit more aggressive if you know your opponent is conservative 'coming out of the gate'.

@@craigbarnes2160 Is that referred to the 1st possession of each series or the 1st possession of each half?

[@craigbarnes2160]

@@melmersberg6241 Generally it refers to the first possession of the game/half. How are they looking to set the tone? How have they reacted to what happened in the first half?
