Front 5 on KOR

Coach,

One thing you have to consider is how far your opponents are kicking. If they are kicking pretty deep, say consistently inside the ten with pretty good hang time, then your drop is not nearly deep enough. Think about this if you can. If you align your guys on the fifty and have them retreat to the forty, they are going to have to block this guy that is coming full dpeed at them for about five or six seconde (hang time plus return time of thirty yards) If you drop the say 20-25 yards, they have more time to get back and set and allow the defender to come to them. Also, now all they have to do is simply get in the way of the defender for a second maybe two. Now by dropping this deep, I would imagine that a wedge would be tough. INstead I would assign a defender to each of your frontliners. One additional thought: we don't align right on the fifty. We align our front line wit one foot on the 47 and the other on the 46. This gives as a little advantage on our retreat. If a team sees this and tries to onside to take advantage of us (which hasn't happened) that is fine, our guys can now just fall forward to pick up the ball and they have a little more reaction time.

Hope this helps
