G front vs. 2 tight

In OUR version of "G" - we have the DE in a 7 & the DT in a 3 on TE side. ILB on outside leg of OG with A gap resp.

IF THERE ARE 2 TE's - the backside side can align in 4 ways determined each week by gamne plan):

#1. "SPLIT": DT in a 3 & DE in a 7. ILB on inside leg of OG.

****************************************************************************************

#2. "OVERSHIFT": DT in a SHADE on Center, OR, a 1. ILB on outside leg of OG. DE in a 5. OLB in a 9. THIS IS GENERALLY OUR FIRST CHOICE!

****************************************************************************************

#3. "5-3" ADJUSTMENT (great vs ISO) (BELOW):

USING THE 5-3 OUT OF OUR BASE 4-4 PACKAGE:

A) BASE 4-4


---------------O-O-O-C-O-O---------------O
----------------E---T----T----E
-----------R--------S----M-------W

R & W = 80 Techniques

DE/TE SIDE = 7 Technique

DE/SE SIDE = 5 Technique

DT/TE SIDE = 3 Technique

DT/SE Side = 1 Technique

S & M = 30 Techniques


B) ADJUSTED TO 5-3:


----------------O-O-O-C-O-O---------------O
-----------------E---T--N--T—E
-----------R------------M----------W

The ONLY changes from above are:

NOSE replaces S and plays a 0 Technique

MIKE becomes MLB

DT/SE SIDE moves from a 1 Technique to a 3 Technique.


TECHNIQUES OF NOSE & MLB:

NOSE: Head up on Center. Two gap responsibility – OT to OT – both A gaps. Use two hand incline press on Center.

MLB: 4 yards deep behind Center. Two gap responsibility – OT to OT – both A gaps. Read FB thru OG’s. Use inside flipper on blockers. Vs Pass – Hook to Curl (read QB’s eyes. – go strong side to a depth of 10 yards).

****************************************************************************************



#4. Stay with DT in a 1 & DE in a 7. IF a team doesn't split so that the distance between the 1 & 7 is no more than 2 or 2 1/2 yds. - you will be able to handle the ISO (ILB shoots B gap on cue & meets ISO blocker in the backfield if he approaches B gap). Go DOUBLE ROBBER to get 10 in the box (BELOW):

10 IN THE BOX VS “12” PERSONNEL (1 WR/2 TE/2 RB)


------------------------T
------------------------F

Z----------------------Q
---------------O-O-O-C-O-O-O
---------------E----T-----T----E
-----------R--------S-----M----W

C---------------S-------------C


ROVER = 80 (ROBBER COVERAGE)

STRONG DE = 7

STRONG DT = 3

SAM LB = 30 (ROBBER COVERAGE)

WEAK DT = 1 (2I)

MIKE LB = 30 (ROBBER COVERAGE)

WEAK DE = 7 (OR 5 IF “TIGHT” CALL WEAK)

WILL LB = 60 OR 90 (OR 9 IF “TIGHT CALL WEAK) ROBBER COVERAGE

S/C = ROBBER COVERAGE (#1)

F/S = ROBBER (KEY STRONG TE #2) LINE UP ON OT YOUR SIDE.

W/C = ROBBER TECHNIQUE (KEY WEAK TE #1). LINE UP IN C GAP YOUR SIDE. NOTE: ON BOOT – COVER WEAK TE IN FLAT BECAUSE WILL MAY BE PULLED INSIDE WITH FAKE; OTHERWISE PLAY THE “ROBBER” TEHNIQUE SAME AS F/S.

9317 line techs. 12, 22, and 32 personel. Set the 9 tech away from the passing strength. 7 tech is your Stud DE, 9 tech is your Evil DE. 3 is the Nose and 1 is the Tackle. Its the "UNDER" G front used for Field Zone blitzes too where the Evil backer can drop out in coverage so you can send 4 -wide an still be protected from the quickie back side.

Set the backers TO the passing strength. Rover-3x4 off TE, Sam-30, Mike-30, Will-70

Line is set solidly to play the run weak. The weak side of the line is now strengthened by the backers being overshifted.

Robber coverage is really good too because you can now get the 9th man in the box.

Penn State set it this way as well as Boise State. I saw them both at Atlantic city today and it was my first question this morning.

The best way for us to defend a steady diet of Dbl Tight(Also use this in short yardage situations and on the Goal Line.) is to get into a 5 man front as stated by Coach Easton. We have played the 5-3 look in the past but had great success last year playing a 5-4 scheme. Will sub out a perimiter player and bring in another DT. We align the 3 DT's head up on the Center and 2 guards. The DT(Nose) player over the center will stem to a 1 Tech to the Strong side as our base. The DE on the strong side plays a 9 tech. DE on the weakside is in a 5 tech even if Dbl Tight. We then have about 6 calls from this front, we will usually slant the 3 DT's strong or weak. We will also Jet(Wide 9) or Blood(Slant DE inside striking OT) the Str DE and have blitzes bringing either one or both inside backers.

Coach Easton, I know it is against your philosophy to bring the FS out of the MOF but we play Cover 0 behind it. Corners #1, Outside Backers #2. Vs. empty Will backer covers #3.

What I thought was the advantage of this scheme was keeping 2 inside backers in the middle and they read and play the same as in our base with the exception of knocking down or covering backs out.

We even used this against Spread teams in short yardage, goalline and a change up. Matches up great. Most spread teams(at least in our league) do not see a 5 man front. It gave spread teams we played last year some trouble.

Getting "10 In The Box" thru the use of DOUBLE ROBBER (see my post above) & STILL being sound vs. the pass is "as good as it gets"!
