1967 Detroit Lions Football Play Chart: Tackle Loops and Patterns
The content from the 1967 Detroit Lions play chart outlines four specific football plays aimed at enhancing offensive strategies within the context of the NFL. These diagrams feature formations labeled as "Tackle Loop," "Tackle-End Loop and Red-Dog," "Tackles Loop, Full Red-Dog," and "Delay Slant Pattern." Each play displays a variety of player positions and movements, illustrated with numbers and symbols that represent offensive linemen, backs, and receivers. Notably, the plays involve tactical maneuvers that involve the tackles (numbered 74, 71, 76, and 78) executing loops to create openings and opportunities against opposing defenses. The "Red-Dog" components suggest an aggressive approach to confusing the defensive line. The "Delay Slant Pattern" emphasizes timing and misdirection to exploit defensive gaps.
