After many requests for information concerning terminolgy, I'm posting the terminology of a NFL team that uses the West Coast offense. Remember, the terminology varies slightly from team to team. The info below is an example of how a team may describe their play calls.

WE CALL PLAYS IN THE FOLLOWING SERIES:
 

A) TEENS:  ALL  RUNS. AN OFF SET BACK  IS GOING TO GET THE  BALL GOING
ACROSS THE  BALL GENERALLY FROM  RED (SPLIT BACKS), BLUE  (NEAR BACKS),
OR BROWN (FAR BACKS) FROM A 5 YARD DEPTH. FOR EXAMPLE: 16 POWER, 18
BOB, 19 "W".
 

B) 20'S: ALL PASSES WITH SPLIT FLOW PROTECTION.
20-21- HB RELEASE WK, WK GUARD DOUBLE READ, FB PROTECTS STR. (6 MAN PRO)
320-321- HB RELEASE WK, WK GUARD DOUBLE READ, FB PROTECTS STR. (6 MAN PRO)
22-23- FB RELEASE STR, STR GUARD DOUBLE READ, HB PROTECTS WK (6 MAN PRO)
322-323- FB RELEASE WK, STR GUARD DBL READ, HB PROTECTS WK.  (6 MAN PRO)
