jUST AS YOU ALWAYS PUT YOUR BEST PASS RUSHING TACKLE ON THE BACKSIDE, PUT YOUR BEST DE THERE ALSO. NOW YOU HAVE A TANDEM( OF GOOD PLAYERS) VERSES ONE MAN TO GET AFTER THE QB.

Coach Easton

In the schemes we see,put him to the two receiver side,whether that be TE/WR or twins.Most teams vs a 4-4,need to run to the two receiver side.

I agree with TigerOne. I would put the better DE to the TE side. Doing this would force the offense to run to the SE side ( a 2-man surface) where any 8-man front has the offense outnumbered.

Some coaches would put the better DE to the field, thus forcing the offense to run back into the sideline.

DEFENSIVE ENDS:


FIVE TECHNIQUE: (SPLIT END SIDE PLAY “WIDE 5” – 2 FEET OUTS. OT – ATTACK HIP OF OT ON SNAP. NOTE: IF CONFRONTED WITH A TE – PLAY “NORMAL 5”) . C GAP RESPONSIBILITY!
A. Vs. TURNOUT BLOCK OF OT: - Attack hip of OT maintaining proper leverage. Keep outside leg and arm free. Bend to near back. Maintain outside leverage and bend to football.
B. OT BLOCKS DOWN INSIDE: Point toe to OT, locating near back, (if near back goes away, locate ANY OL coming inside out). Bend inside and treat kickout by near back and OL the same. Take out his inside shoulder with your outside shoulder. Come underneath kickout. Other possibilities when OT blocks inside = option, or play away.
C. OT PULLS INSIDE: Stay in OT’s hip pocket and run to football.

SEVEN TECHNIQUE: (TAKE A SHORT STEP WITH OUTSIDE FOOT READING TE – STAB WITH HANDS AND EXPLODE OUT OF HIPS). C GAP RESPONSIBILITY!
A. Vs. DOWN BLOCK OF TE: Squeeze TE over to D gap. Stay square and keep inside arm free. Control C gap and locate ball.
B. Vs. TURNOUT BLOCK OF OT: TE blocks out - dip inside shoulder and attack hip of OT. maintaining proper leverage. Keep outside leg and arm free. Bend to near back. Maintain outside leverage and bend to football.
C. Vs. TRAP (OR KICKOUT – BY ANY INSIDE BLOCKER): TE blocks out and OT blocks inside – point toe to OT, locating near back (if near back goes away, locate ANY OL coming inside out). Bend inside and treat kickout by near back and OL the same. Take out his inside shoulder with your outside shoulder. Come underneath kickout.

NINE TECHNIQUE (MOST OFTEN PLAYED BY OLB): (TAKE A SHORT STEP WITH INSIDE FOOT READING TE – STAB WITH HANDS AND EXPLODE OUT OF HIPS). D GAP RESPONSIBILITY!
A. Vs. REACH BLOCK OF TE: Knock TE back and keep his head inside you as you lock out outside arm. Control D gap.
B. Vs. TURNOUT BLOCK OF TE: Attack TE maintaining proper leverage. Keep outside leg and arm free. Bend to near back. Maintain outside leverage and bend to football..
C. Vs. DOWN BLOCK OF TE: Flatten TE locating near back (if near back goes away, locate ANY OL coming inside out). From this point on – whether we spill or contain will depend on defense called!!!

NOTE: DE’S HAVE OUTSIDE (CONTAIN) PASS RUSH LANES.
