Sequencing is about calling plays in a purposeful order over time to influence defensive reactions.

1. You run Play A to force a defensive adjustment (conflict)
2. You come back later with Play B to exploit that adjustment

The stress can be created,

• in a 3-4 play sequence
• in a drive (maybe 8-12 plays)
• throughout the course of a game as part of the gameplan

 Key characteristics of sequencing:

• Built off the defense’s response to your base offense
• Relies on defensive tendencies and player memory
• Uses constraint plays as answers to defensive adjustments
• Often designed to set up a future play call
