fold and cracking DE

Coach,

Would like to help but need more info:

What is your base defense?

What coverage(s) do you plan to use?

What formation(s) does this offense employ to do this?


IF the OT/OG are using a fold scheme on your 3 tech there he has (at least) two sound reactions:

1) dip and rip with outside arm past OT, follow OG to ball

2) cross OT's face

#2 is better if the OT takes a flat angle down the line (it is difficult to try and penetrate through the OT's head gear)

Either is more effective if the 3 tech knows it is coming. Maybe they give it away with a tighter split, OT points in his stance tec.

Schematically, a well times ILB blitz to the area vacated by the OG can be effective.
