COUNTER QUESTIONS:

ALL that depends on the TECHNIQUE of the DT. In the 5-3's WE see - they can be in a 5; 4; 4I; or 3 techniques.

If a 4, 4I, or 5 technique - the TE & ON T "TREY" from the DT to the MLB. Vs the 3 technique - the TE goes on to the MLB & the frontside T & G & C have to GAP BLOCK DOWN (no double team). We trap the DE & wrap the SLB.

To the SE side there is GENERALLY a 3 - so the ON T; ON G; & Center GAP block down. We remove the OLB by flexing "H" at leat 5 yds. We trap the DE & wrap the MLB.

NOTE: Center NEVER doubles Nose on the Counter - he blocks first man on the LOS offside, period!


ONSIDE RULES


A) ON TE RULE = ON T COVERED – “TREY” (IF ON G UNCOVERED) OR “GAP” (“SOLID LOOK). ON T UNCOVERED – THRU TO MLB AREA. CP: VS 7 TECHNIQUE – ARC BLOCK NEXT MAN OUTSIDE (G WILL TRAP THE 7).

B) ON T RULE = ON G COVERED – “DUECE” (IF CENTER UNCOVERED) OR “GAP” (IF
“SOLID” LOOK). ON G UNCOVERED – “TREY” WITH TE .

C) ON G RULE = CENTER UNCOVERED – “DUECE” WITH ON T. CENTER COVERED – BLOCK DOWN (“GAP” IF YOU & CENTER BOTH COVERED = “SOLID” LOOK).

D) CENTER RULE = BLOCK BACK ON THE FIRST MAN ON L.O.S. AWAY FROM POINT OF ATTACK (BE ALERT FOR LBer RUN THRU A GAP – OR NOSE CROSSING YOUR FACE TO OFFSIDE).

Why doesn't the C double the nose? Wouldn't penetration by the nose kill the pulling linemen on counter?

Coach Mountjoy,

What if the nose slants to the off-side (across C's face) who accounts for the off-side 3 tech ?
