I think there might be some terminology differences. For example, on the radio show Andy asked a question about cross charging and CPJ said he didn’t know what that was. Clearly, he’d know exactly what it was if you showed him film of it, but he’s got his own terminology for a lot of stuff. Either that or he’s just deliberately being confusing and obfuscating the issue. He’s really doesn’t like to talk details about his scheme in a public forum.
Haha - it was
@Longestday who asked! At least, I'm guessing it was based on what Andy said.
CPJ definitely has his own terminology and refers to it as an Easy Stunt (or 1-2 exchange). Usually the DE is the dive key, and given the designation #1. #2 is the LB to his outside or stacked behind and is the pitch key. So #1 has the dive, #2 has the pitch. As it's name suggests, a 1-2 exchange is where #1 steps outside to take the pitch and #2 takes the dive. If your DE is super-athletic and quick it's a very difficult read to make and your QB needs to be lightning quick with his read. Maybe I'll do another re-hash on all this terminology before the spring game.
I've never heard it referred to as an Easy Stunt, and
@stylee and
@Longestday and most everyone else refers to it as a cross charge. But, who am I to go and tell CPJ to call it something else: "Hey Paul! You know that offense you've been running for 40 years that I've never coached? You need to start calling an Easy Stunt a Cross Charge, OK?"
