Solitare play is great and it's all what you make it out to be. It can be simple or as complex as you wish. Here's some rules that Dr Smeby shared with me a while back.

1. Offense lines up

2. Defense lines up

3. Defensive linemen and any other defensive linemen on the LOS get their final slants (left, right or straight). This included any bump and run (press) corners!

4. Offensive linemen set (angle, drive or pulling) including receivers who are on the LOS (not FL). Now is the time to get inside or outside release on pressing CBs!

5. Offensive backfield set (QB, RBs and anyone behind LOS).

6. Any defensive players in back of the LOS (positions 1-3) moved; it is here where LBers read their keys and where the defensive secondary reveals its rotation or priorities.

7. Offense calls play. This is vital because the offense gets to look at the defense before their play (audible) as in real-life. Don't think the audible isn't used every play in real-life!!
