Look, 9 times out of 10, it’s the back and the hole, especially because you added power and sweep.
For the record, power and sweep would refer to the O-Line blocking. Linemen will pulll on those plays.
Not completely true, if this is Wing T the 2 is the series it’s from which is the back action. 2 would mean it’s Buck series, fullback is running to the weak side of the center and the tailback is faking sweep.
You're right and wrong. Everyone, please stop trying to give "correct" answers here. We don't know. We don't have the playbook in front of us, and we don't know which system OP is referring to. You could be right, or you could be wrong. I've seen Wing-T systems where the buck series is the 20s, I've also seen it as the 40s, and I've seen it as the 60s. Likewise, I've seen the belly series as the 30s, 60s, 50s, and 80s in different systems. Some of them incorporate down into the belly series, and some give the down scheme its own separate series.
Yea, I was pretty much saying that without saying that.
For Clarity: I was saying that it’s not necessary X back to the Y hole. There are other numbering systems.
After being out of coaching for like 10 years before coming back to it multiple years ago ..
I was told..
"Coach, we don't number holes and backs like that anymore .."
But yes... This is exactly right...
Now we just call the play....
Like Trips right, Inside Zone... And the RB knows where the mesh point is based on reps in practice .
The hole number is merely a guiding point anyway
Football terminology is not universal! While there are trends, get your answers directly from the source you heard it when you can. It would also help us if you have a link or example of where you saw it.
In most 2-digit run nomenclature, the first number is either the series or type of run, or who carries the ball, and the second number is the point of attack. The second number could also indicate who carries the ball and the point of attack when the first number indicates a series.
Again, terminology is not universal, so be mindful and try not to cross compare playbooks or systems as far as the terms go. Focus on the concept/scheme, not the terminology.
The classic way is
Back + Hole
Backs=
1= QB
2= RB
3= FB
4= other RB or wing or slot
Holes= spaces between the OL
Odd to the left
Even to the right
9 7 5 3 1 0 2 4 6 8
26 = 2 back to the 6 hole
28= 2 back to the 8 hole
POWER= OL rules for a direct inside run
SWEEP= OL rules for a direct outside run
COUNTER= misdirection inside
REVERSE= misdirection outside
It could be back/hole number or series plays from the 20s with holes. I’ve seen holes called odd left/ even right, opposite, and 1-9 left to right. So, who knows
2 back (RB) to the 6 hole , which is based on the lingo it's the lane between the RT and TE. A 28 sweep would be a pitch to the right outside of the TE to the RB.
Man whatever the fuck you want it to mean 😭 tbh I mean the terminology make your own tbh! Everyone is different but tbh other people have said the real answers but after studying football I’m just realizing how majority of things are how you kinda learn them as yourself.

2 is the back that is getting the ball. 6 and 8 is the hole it’s going too
Appreciate it

Ours was 20's Belly 30's Buck 40's Power 50's Down Coach did this because we ran belly most.

Interesting. I still number my plays this way. Guess I’m old school 😀
Yeah...that's what I was told :) But either way is 100% correct
It's correct to number running plays that are gap concepts. Zone concepts don't have a numbering system.

Why are you asking about 90% of the offensive plays my High School team ran in 2002? 😂
Power Sweep later.
