Inside Linebackers in G Defense

Flow TO = 40I Strongside LBer scapes C or D gap (depending on what DE does) & 10 Weakside LBer scrapes playside A gap. Flow away = 40I Strongside LBer scrapes A gap & 10 Weakside LBer scrapes B (or C if B gap closed by DE).

"DON'T GO UNTIL YOU KNOW" - THEN - "FILL OPEN WINDOWS & SCRAPE CLOSED DOORS".

In "G" defenses - ILB alignment depends in large part to backfield SETS (aligns). Strong ILB can be in a 40I, 30, or a 10. Weakside ILB can be in a 10, or a 30 (can move to 40I if motion to that side).

Virginia Tech was the MASTER of the "G". ILB Reads become more involved that I can type here (6 or 7 typewritten pages with diagrams in the notebook). The READS vary depending on the PASS COVERAGE called! ALSO: run reads depend on the TYPES of "flow" (WE have 3 types - some colleges classify as many as 5). Strong ILB CAN fill A in CERTAIN SITUATIONS (BOTH BACKS & THE BALL ATTACK A GAP). This takes a LOT MORE of explaining!
