Spider Three Y Banana (1 Viewer)

What means this? And if you throw the "Venus" on a spider three Y banana what does that mean? Why called the Venus.

I know it's en vogue to rip on Gruden, but I love QB Camp.

TIA

Me too, he's forgotten more about football than the collective knowledge of the shark pool ever learned.

The fullback is always open.

Yeah, so I figured that part out. Looking for terminology translated for the layperson.

Everything (well, almost everything) in football nomenclature(sp?) is words whose fitst letter (or letters) are either acronyms or receivers (on offense) for pass plays - gap names on run plays.Example:SPider (SP = strong power - but it's a fake in the 3 gap) can also be called that because of "Slide Protection")Banana - the route run by the Y (TE) is shaped like a banana.Venus = the name of the backside route in this case (the fade and stop the X is running) - it would have been more obvious if Gruden had used a different example (say a "fly" pattern or "skinny post")ETA:http://www.centuryinter.net/midway/chris/westcoast/wco.pdf

Awesome. Thank you.

In high school, if we wanted someone to break towards the hoop and throw him the ball, we'd shout out the name of a domestic US city. If we wanted them to break out towards the 3 point line, we'd shout out the name of a foreign city.

Some of the members of my HS basketball team wouldn't have had a clue. Just saying.

Between Gruden's schtick and Luck's total lack of charisma, that segment was painful to watch.

Peter King MMQB Excerpt:

Now we know what Green Right Slot Spider 3 Y Banana is. One of the great pre-draft TV shows every year is the series ESPN does with Jon Gruden sitting down with the top quarterback prospects and deconstructing their games. On Friday night, Gruden's session with Andrew Luck was on, and he challenged Luck for making a dumb read on a throw against USC -- on Green Right Slot Spider 3 Y Banana, one of Luck's favorite plays and one that he just got greedy on. He should have checked down to the fullback, Gruden was saying, but instead threw to his right to the wideout, with the matador cornerback for USC picking it off and taking it all the way back for a go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

You could see why Gruden's so successful at this. Quarterbacks read him, and they learn from him. Luck accepted why he should be happy to take the short gains instead of the big risks that backfire. "You can't go broke taking a profit,'' Luck said to Gruden.

I'll be tuned in tonight at 9 -- yes, instead of Kentucky-Kansas -- when ESPN rolls out Gruden's session with Robert Griffin III.
