Offensive Line Numbering System
Feb 12, 2024When calling running plays coaches use a numbering system, so that ball carriers and offensive linemen know where the play is going and who has the football.
There are 8 gaps on an offensive line:
#1 is on the center (C) left shoulder and is the gap between the center (C) and left guard (LG)
- All gaps going to the left of the center will be odd numbers.
#2 is on the center (C) left shoulder and is the gap between the center (C) and right guard (RG)
- All gaps going to the right of the center will be even numbered.
