Defending "c" gap

Coach,

We try to blitz that C gap not in a traditional sense with the stack backer blowing up the hole, but rather, we bring the spur off the edge and catch them off guard. The FB is used to blocking out or the guard short pulls to the playside and bumps the stack backer out. However, we blitz the spur off the edge and then bring the stack backer to the outside off his butt for the contain if they do run outside. Spur goes first, followed by the stack backer (in our scheme, Sam and Will.)

We did this when the other team had a tendency to run the C gap (3rd and 4 or 2nd and 3, for instance) and it was successful. Our best players and athletes play that spur position, so it worked well for them to squeeze it down and then have the FS fill (along with the backside stack backers.)

what about taking away one side of the field every snap bringing four weak or strong or from the field making them run to the c gap to the boundray it all depends on how much you trust that outside lb on the backside away from the stunt becuase if they do pop or if you do choose wrong big play potential also the question is how are your guys taking on that pulling guard or full back are they taking them high trying to get off the block o are they taking him down sacrificing them selves for the defense i teach chop the lead block create a pile and make that running back choos to bounceand get blown up or hit it backside into the teeth of the deffense.
