Seeing how complicated the normal play calling is and then remembering that Peyton had like 100 different audibles is mind boggling
That’s why I play madden not nfl
That's the reason Peyton is the greatest regular season quarterback ever 💯

Red 18 set ready set hut hut hike
high school was simple. We just had a name for a play like "cowboy pass" and everything was already defined. In college we named the formation, the hole, who got the ball, the snap count and the pass patterns. For example, "blue right, 32 wham pass 69-77 z. Blue was the formation with two split backs, TB behind the QB, and FB behind left tackle. 32 wham meant 3 back through the 2 hole. .. (holes are the gaps. in our offense even to the right, odd to the left). QB was usually number 1, TB 2, FB 3, slot or wing 4. WR (off the line) was 7, Strong side TE was 6, Weak side was 8. 32 wham pass meant play action to the 3 back through the 2 hole with a double team between the G/T on either side of that 2 hole (2nd from center so between G and T). 69 meant 6 receiver (strong side TE ran a 9 pattern and the 7 receiver ran a 7 pattern. patterns were numbered, even to the outside, odd to the inside. z was the motion pattern. Receivers had to read the defense and adjust the route accordingly. we didn't normally call the route for the 3rd receiver. It was up to the 3rd receiver to run a compliment pattern to the two patterns called in the huddle. In our system, we named the snap count, then at the LOS, the Qb would read the defense (motion often caused the D to declare their true intention). His cadense went like this: 2-61, 2-61, down GO . . . If we had called the snap count as "on 2" in the huddle, then if he called a 2 as his first number, he just changed the play. In the case of my example, he changed the play to a 61, which simply meant the 6 receiver (Strrong side TE), would run a '1' pattern, which meant a quick look in over the middle. In this case, the QB probably saw a potential blitz by the Mike (Middle linebacker). When the TE heard the 61, he knew (and also probably observed the Mike LB as well as the motion developed). He would then run a "hot route" over the middle approximating the 1 pattern. Basically supposed to go to the spot the MLB just vacated. So its really fairly simple. As that TE I caught a lot of passes on the audible to the 61.
@markcarey4894,my friend ,u gotta be a coach by now for how good u explained that ,Godspeed
I'm just getting into American Football and this made me smile
You made that so simple bro

It means the Z comes across

Touch some electrical wires!lol
@@ethanhill3929 no that's Zip
@@austinwilliams7919 No zip is the Z goes in. The "z" in zap means z receiver, and the "a" in zap means across. The "i" in zip means in.

Or 4-20 and pass it to LaGarrett Blount.
My uncle used to work for the Ravens from 99-04 so i used to go to practices a lot especially in the 03 Season.As a ball boy and carried players pads for fun especially in the summer during the camp when I was 14-15.Half the practice Brian Billick would spent teaching Kyle Boller how to remember plays and he still messed them up somehow.Until one day Ray Lewis just said screw it.They stopped practice for 10 minutes amd players went to the locker just to return after.Ray Lewis said Kyle Come with me.They returned with the team.After that Boller called every play to perfection.I dont know what the hell Ray could have done but he was laughing.And it worked.Being a Coach is harder than people think.Best QB Ravens had for their first 12 years was Trent Dilfer.It was brutal for us.
Use a space after you finish a sentence bro.
has to be exciting as hell to be at a NFL practice as a teenager!
I played high school ball with Kyle at Hart High (Newhall, CA). I was one of the QBs in the class behind him. Worked out with him during spring & summer ball 2 years. He was awesome!!! Could throw it 75 yards even then. He was bright too, just goes to show how hard that position is especially in the NFL. I became a Ravens fan when he was drafted. You must of had a blast during that time!
I remember Kyle Boller at Cal Berkeley. Tough school so even the jocks have brains. Pac-10 football used to be the “smart” kids and a couple real athletes to carry them
This coming from someone who draws plays:
Shotgun/Stack Weak, FB PA Sweep Strong, Spider Strong, X Wheel, Rollout Weak.
Now, a breakdown.
"Shotgun/Stack Weak" is the formation. Two slot receivers, one on the line of scrimmage, one about 2-3 yards off. They offset slightly left to right, and line up opposite to the tight end. There is one fullback and one halfback. The QB is about 5 yards behind the center with one of the running back on either side of him.
"FB PA Sweep Strong" : The QB fakes a handoff to the fullback who then runs towards the sideline on the side of the formation with the tight end.
"Spider Strong": The O-Line shifts to the side of the formation with the tight end.
"X Wheel": The Strong side WR (in this case, the one closer to the side of the formation with the tight end) runs an outside wheel route.
"Rollout Weak": The QB turns and moves towards the weak side of the formation (the side opposite of the TE) and proceeds with the passing play.
and how about the other receiver's and tight end's route in the weak side? where in the play call tell them what they should do?
Ya, I mean I'm just a high school football player, but I'm pretty sure there needs to be a call for the routes that the slot and wide receivers need to run, along with the X receiver tagged with a wheel route, unless their job is to block but if you have a QB rolling then there is no point unless you have a pitch man, then I suppose you have the triple option but then you also have the X on the opposite side of the rollout so the chances of throwing it to him are slim, unless your are a God of a Q, so unless you just missed a part of the play call, it doesn't really make sense.... but maybe I just don't know... I'm only a high school ball player....
That or "Spider" is also a route that can be run for receivers.... but again, I have no clue
Is the HB releasing to the weak side or blocking? What’s the weak side receiver doing? Is the Tight end doing a crossing route? You must draw plays for your own personal use because your QB just got his ass lit up by the defensive end if the HB don’t block.
@@localppc242 well typically the different positions will all have a job based on the play call without need to specify what their job is, they would have practiced it enough to know what their job is when they are specifically given instructions, usually to block
This is one of the reasons why I barely got playing time in high school 😂
I didnt even get a playbook
The playbook is already overwhelming!
1:50 “ I gotta find out what zap means” 😂😂
When you've got 100 different audibles for each part of the playbook, you forget if words mean anything 😂
Your time stamp sucks
The Frank Caliendo "Z-Y Banana" jokes mocking Gruden totally make sense now.
spider 2Y banana 😂
There’s quantum mechanics and then there’s play calling
☠️☠️☠️
"Do you understand the words that are coming outta my mouth?!"
3:22 - 3:46 this is literally another language
@@robkline8737 It's not that it's confusing, languages aren't inherently confusing. It's the lack of experience or exposure that makes it difficult for some.
I didn't get all of it, but the thing that made sense was "A gap blitz." A gap is the space between the center and the guards. A blitz is where a linebacker, safety, or corner might go rush the quarterback instead of dropping to cover a receiver, tight end, or running back. Gaps are typically used to denote the space between offensive linemen. So the space between the guard and tackle would be the B gap. If there's a tight end lined up next to the tackle, then it's C gap.
Edit: I went back and listened to it again. Jet and Scat are two different plays. Jet is probably a sweep run, and I'm not sure what Scat is, but it sounds like a passing play. Basically the coach is worried about the defense, and particularly the linebacker blitzing the A gap breaking through the offensive line's blocking scheme that the running back, who's an extra blocker quarterback has to hurry and take out the linebacker. When the coach said Rip and Lizard, it's probably referring to a rollout. A rollout is when the quarterback will take the snap and run either right or left, depending on the call, and the offensive linemen will "roll" whichever way the quarterback is going to block. Rip is right, and Lizard is left.
@@uncreative5766 Also, "Will" is the weak side linebacker.
Nah, just study some football terminology and you'll pick up on it.
@@uncreative5766 it may mean different things to different teams, but for us Rip and Liz were just strength calls
Edit: I also listened to it again, and by the way he describes it, I think he uses Rip and Liz for Rollouts, so that when they hit that A Gap, they aren't right at his feet, but it could mean something else as well, bc we used Rip and Liz for strength call on defense but I don't believe that would apply here
The Respect i have now for FITZMAGIC for playing in 8 teams and throwing a touchdown in each one!
Is it 2020 or 2001 the video though 😂
It's either 2002 or 2003. Im going for 2003 as Brad Johnson an Gruden were featured.
😂😂😂 Peyton look straight outta college
The video shows players from 1997 to 2008
Rowdy Jr. my man did you just woosh yourself 😂
@@brendonkeen1974 he did indeed XD
Anyone else think Peyton Manning sounds like Dr Phil?
when he yells it sounds like Tom Hanks
You opened my eyes
Sounds slow
No
Huddle: “Greens, beans, potatoes, tomatoes, spider 2 y banana”
Pre-snap: “Omaha”
Understanding play calling is pretty simple. Just listen out for what YOUR job is. Imagine if a mom was telling her kids to do chores in the same way. "Ashley floor sweep 530 John dishes 30 after 4 Laundry chris 64 Vacuum Kiesha. Ready? Break."
That's a lot of memory
Some coaches have numbers on their plays so the coach will say for example: 3. And the qb will look at his wrist coach look at 3 and read out the play
@@brendonkeen1974 I like it this way
And whats crazy every year they have to change the play book a
It doesn't stay the same every year the names switch.
@@brendonkeen1974 and then you have complete maniacs who can remember these plays in their heads towards the end of the season youll notice some QBs ditch the wrist band if they have control of the offense theyll know what play to call based on the defense alignment and situation of the down. its freaky.
Bruh my high school coaches jus be throwing up gang signs for our plays like ion know what the hell 👇☝️👍👍👏👏🦶🤙🙌👐🤜👏✊👌👈 is but I hope it’s a run play or I’m running straight
Is there a video that helps explain those signs? i keep forgetting then
@@L4DAPLUH 😂
“Let’s try... bear twist right.”
Bear: *twists left*
Playing Khalil Mack be like:
To be honest it's not that hard to figure out when you actually know what words stand for. You disguise it each week so teams don't catch on but it's the same. For example going left can be Lucy, leftover, lucky, lake. Going right can be ricky, rob, racer, etc. If you actually know the concept, the words become interchangeable after awhile.
Thats pretty cool
Every week we had to change the name all the time. I would see the same play every week and decipher it just like that. I can’t remember looking at the play book often. Just my freshman year. They used numbers like 87 8 could represent the right receiver going for a 10 yard post. I know that’s not right but I always ran TB and listened to 25 or 35. One of those plays went to me or my FB. 2 for him and 3 for me. But every week I only listened to which hole I needed to go to and if I needed to get the ball in a toss, option, draw or reverse.
agreed. when i played we had the numbering system so one of our plays was nasty right, 49 toss. 4 mean the RB got the ball and 9 was the hole.
@@a_coleman11 The 9 was way outside to the left?
@@a_coleman11 I was a TB and odd was left and nasty right had to mean that the line pushed right. If that’s what you are saying?
Rumor has it that Peyton Manning still hasn't found out what "zap" means today.
as a guy who was known for having like damn near 100 audibles i think he was lying and just didnt want to give away everything LOL
Z Across formation going to block on a run play
If i was an offensive coordinator I'd use the verbiage that Don Coryell, Norv Turner, and Mike Martz used calling their offenses which was a numbering system. An example of one of those plays that Troy Aikman described was called 896 F Flat which the Cowboys ran in the NFC championship game in 92 against the 49ers. That's a hell of a lot easier to learn and remember for everyone on the offense.
@Lee Deplace I don't know he didn't say when he described it. It was on the show America's Game for the 92 Cowboys.
Well there’s a reason they don’t do it like that
@@flyingchimp12 yeah because these offensive coordinators think they're so brilliant that they have to make the plays sound as complex as possible.
Remember when Aaron Rodgers called that long ass play? 😂
lol, link?
‘Larry, you run to the bottle cap and I’ll pound it out there.’

Play action to the right side, with a crossing left with trips vertical.
Imagine you’re from outside of the U.S. and you hear English for the first time, this is probably how hearing English for the first time sounds like
It reminds me of trying to listen to Spanish, in that I might know exactly what he was saying in the second half of the sentence, and I knew every word in the first half of the sentence I just didn’t know how they related to each other.
Mna I'm calling Madden plays.. 1st down, HB stretch to the right 😂
It's simplified QB speak
As a Steelers fan it gives me great satisfaction knowing that every Ravens fan recoiled at 3:26
It's also obvious that he wasn't listening to anything the coordinator was saying... 😆
I’ve been looking for videos for this kind of context thanks so much I love this vid
Running back is my favorite position to play in football but quarterback imo is the most difficult and fascinating. They are very intelligent.
"You want philly philly?"
True. Trick plays can usually be one word or phrase.
It can easily be hidden now, by saying "Eagle" or "Tiger" (the 2 most famous teams to use it)
Why is this impressive?
We all learn different representations through life :
- language
- coding
- mathematics
- chemistry
- a second language
Etc etc
Imagine being an NFL journey man. 🤦🏾♂️
Yeah that has to suck
Every one else: Ready for the last play, so we can close this game out!
QB: Ok listen up we're running a loose gun right, belly option smash, double windshield zebra elephant dash, omaha Carolina reaper, jet sweep, 32 cheetah. Ready, break!
Everyone else: ..........
Actually I understand what that play would be.
Enlighten me please, I got lost at belly
@@thehoodedteddy1335
So first we have to understand that most play calls are 2 plays being spoken at once. Common would be 1 run play and a audible passing play. So with that being said here we go.
-Loose Gun Right is a Shotgun formation (Gun) with the rb lining up on the right side of the qb (Right) in a offset alignment (Loose).
-play #1 is a run/pass option (Option) The run would be up the gut (Belly) usually between the gaurd and center. The pass would be a smash concept (Smash) with the receivers running a corner/curl combo creating a vertical stretch against zone defense. The qb has the option to run the ball or pass the ball depending on the defense post snap.
-Play #2 Double windshield zebra elephant dash omaha Carolina reaper would be a passing play. I honestly think just off hand it would be a double (Double) screen play (Windshield) with the off receiver (Zebra) and the tight end (Elephant Dash). The key blocks for the receivers would be the outside player in the box (Omaha), Corner (Carolina) and right end (Reaper).
-Pre snap motion would be a fake (32) ((in this case 32 would be fake because your not running sweep into the C(((3))) or the B gaps(((2))) jet sweep motion (Jet Sweep) with the fastest receiver (Cheetah).
(Ready) would mean be ready for the audible, and the play would be on the first hut (Break) since he didn't say a number.
I hope that makes sense, but I may be wrong.
*takes knee*
@@justincurry7162 WOOOOWWWWWW... ARE YOU A QUARTERBACK, my head would explode from just remembering the code.... Let alone translating the code to a play, i am so glad i play madden... Ahahahaha
i could watch this forever
Peyton "I need to find out what zap means" 🤣🤣🤣

0:50 Andy Reid using Omaha(!) play calling before it was cool by Peyton!

4:29 is that coach Keith Millard? I love that man. Loved playing under him. Smartest football guy I’ve ever spoken with
Billy, down and out to the tree, Tommy run a short cross, Bobby block, Jimmy run a post. On two. Go!
I love this he said it right at the end💯
I know most of us played some level of football, but I was lucky because the skeleton of my high school playbook was used by the little leagues. By the time people are seniors you can really have a pretty thick book of plays and audibles and sometimes you just chuckle hearing people say stuff
Nothing is better then : OMAHA!!! OMAHA!! OMAHA
The play calling language for quarterbacks is like hearing Bubble Bass ordering from the Krusty Krab
Fascinating. They just make them up as they go and the names just stick.
Love the game, love the language.
There are millions and millions of plays with just the use of TWO words. Saves time, easy to memorize, easy to adjust with audibles.
And for Peyton, TB stands for "tea baggin' time!"
Man I am so glad that I play football and understand the majority of what they are saying, because I would lose my mind if I had a coach explain to me why Rip and Liz were implemented and I didn't even know what they were.... some of it is still a little confusing just bc I'm not playing pro ball, but I still know a lot of what they're saying means
Good video NFL filmsAwesome
A-Rod to Davante: you know that play in 2017?

I wanted to turn the video off when I heard Jon Gruden say spider 2 U banana.....
My eye twitched .03 seconds into the video.
I always thought it was just an encoding to prevent the defense from knowing what the actual play is.
The helmet at 3:24 looks like a Halloween costume item. Quite different, from the helmets of today.
Lol I love the ending… let’s all just chill out then
3:22 The media explaining to me what Reddit did to those guys collecting shrubs.
I love the idea of Payton not knowing wtf zap meant
It made it so much better that the Text were in comic Sans
I have a feeling a lot of the words meant the same thing. Manning used to use the word "Spurrier" as a tribute I guess to a coach he once despised. At least he did that in practice.
My son was the Z receiver in college. He said his motion was ZAP motion across the formation. ZIP motion into the formation. ZOOM start motion into the formation reverse at the center and go back.
Spider 2 Banana. I miss that guy. He was great for football
I'm a simple Peyton manning fan I see him in the thumbnail I click
Simpppppp
One of the few reasons I respect QBs
I remember seeing a i-formation run up the 1 hole called so many calls it’s crazy. But draw always has draw in the play book everywhere. Anyone ever seen a draw play without draw in the call?
Grudens play calling is really something special.... If i was a qb, i would say some geberish like. Z right to left, twinkle, twinkle... Little star!
It’s just more complicated to add all these words. And to think that most of them never changed is best to change the name so teams can’t find out what you’re doing. I would shorten the calls and change the name every week.
Fantastic
this is the only video on the internet explaining play calling
Now I know where Bad Lip Reading got all the great lines for the BLR NFL videos
