I love how Nick Sirianni explained how a play verbage becomes complicated.

[@Elijcuz]

Yes he actually started backwards if you think about it for everyone to understand how it fundamentally brakes down.. 😂☝🏽

[@Bork19]

@@Elijcuz he broke it down very simply. I went through this with my new OC a couple years ago that the play call needs to tell everybody what to do which can get complexed even for basic high school offenses: formation, Olines job, backs job, wr and te job if it’s a pass.

They don’t really have plays like that. I mean they do but it’s mostly set formations. So the calls won’t be as elaborate and elongated as the offense.

I remember when I played football we had a play called Orion reaper X flare Z Oprah, it was at outside zone right with a rpo where the backside receiver run to a go and add the slot receiver run a quick option route It’s funny how that language isn’t that difficult to understand after a while, but I remember it was impossible to understand my first year playing football.

[@chancebaraks741]

If this isn’t the truth. After a bit it’s just as easy as reading a book.

[@theretroidentity]

Our plays always seemed confusing to an outsider but they were actually really simple. "Right Wing, 3 Negative 3 Dive, 57 pull left"... Right wing is the formation, 3 is the number of our RB, negative 3 is the gap we called between the LT and the TE so it was a dive HB dive between them and 57 pull was the number of the RG that was pulling. The play call was always the same, the only thing that changed the numbers due to the changing of the player numbers. I.E. if the right guard we put in was number 63 and the running back was 30 it would sound like, "Right Wing, 30 Negative 3, 63 pull left".

[@dsbeats5657]

so I’m guessing y’all were in like a wing t offense hell of a lot different than the spread offense that I was in

[@DmdMixZ]

Honestly playcall length for us depends on how much retention we get from the players each year. Sometimes people are really good at just memorizing stuff and you can go with 1 or 2 word playcalls. Sometimes your playmakers are great athletes but can't memorize stuff and then you need to make sure everybody still knows what to do. Doesn't really matter too much anyway, you just gotta make sure that you can pick up the pace if you have to. As long as you find a way to do that, you're golden (playcall wise)

We use tactics instead of plays in football so I never fully appreciated how much goes into coordinating the players. Its way more precise like a video game almost, compared to how we usually give players an idea of the structure to use and the roles to play then let them create. Its not worse, just different but still entertaining and brilliant

[@feastmode7931]

tl;dr = a short call is great for on-field speed and quick recognition but a liability if any player hasn't fully memorized their role/verbiage the longest calls slow down the offense and is a burden for the QB but clearly lays out the job for each position, limiting memory mistakes modern playcalls are usually built on short words but can grow in complexity if/when an assistant coach requests greater clarity in the playcall to help his position group out ("hey can you throw the o-line protection into the call?")

Ours was simple too. Usually it would go "4-3 Cover 2, Man Blitz 57". 4-3 was the formation, cover 2 what the safeties did, Man was for everyone else except the line backer #57 who was tp blitz. If we didnt blitz then 57 blitz wouldnt be there. If 57 was out and number 11 blitzed then the play call would be "4-3 Cover 2, Man Blitz 11"
