Coach--
We are entering the playoffs next week. We are facing a team that loves to run the FB behind their D-1 TE. We played them earlier this year and did well against them, but in my opionion. gave up too much. yardage on the ground and in the flats. Their coach has one a few State Championships and he obvious knows what he is doing.
I am a first year D-Coordinator and am trully learning on the fly. I have had the opportunity to be around some great coaches and programs so I know some basics....but not nearly enough.
We run the 50 shade... We mainly use three fronts
We declare the front presnap...
1. Open--- used almost exclusively in the middle of the field.
to TE: 3, 8 , 30, walk olb
Away from TE: shade, 6, 30 ILB, and usualy sky the SS (looks like a 44)
2. Bench- used almost exclusively into the boundary. We preset our front to the boundary
to Boundary: shade, 6, 30 ILB, and a 9 if they have a TE to boundary (if no TE to boundary--- the 9 walks and becomes an OLB)
To Field: 3 , 8, 30 ILB and usually a Skyed SS. We play an 8 technique regardless of whether they have a TE or not.
We run only two coverages-- 1 -- quarters-- we sky the SS if no 4 vertical threat
2-- cover two -- cloud--- only to a two receiver side-- we will play quaters to one side and cloud to the two receiver side
My question:
How would you better defend a team that runs the following to a VERY GOOD Tight End
1. Down-- they arc release their TE to seal in our 30 ILB-- our 8 wrong arms and the ball spills very quickly. They get too much yardage after the spill because 30 technique is stuck inside.
2. release their HB to the flats Immediately on a quick Boot/Waggle look-- no roll out. They hit him immediately-- he is a very good athlete who can scoot. They usually have a drag behind him and or a 15 yard out by #1.
If I pack to tightly, they will kill us to the flats...
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!!!
