G package?

We run a 44 defense which is modeled very closely to VaTech's. G FRONT = strong DE 7 tech, strong DT 3 tech, weak DT 2i, weak DE 5 technique.

What is the Tuff Front?

The G front and Tuff come from Jim Lambright at the University of Washington. He developed it from their old 50 defense. He removed the Sam LB from pass coverage to make an even front with the NG, DT and DE. He dropped the WOLB and basically made him a nickel back or extra SS/Rover. He kept both ILBs, so thus you have 4 DL, with the S or Stud and DE being basically speed rushers. The DT/NT stuff the run and the Mike/Backers play run. The Whip/Rover cover passes and force on the edge as well as blitz. The Tuff is their version of the Bear 46. It is a Double Eagle, with the Whip/MLB playing weakside, and the Backer comes up to man the TE. The Rover plays in place of the backer and the FS is free. The G and Tuff can be shifted back and forth to confuse blockers, but this is what the Huskies perfected in their 91 title run and what V-Tech runs today.
