Any one have any experience running the 7-1 diamond as a goalline defense. I have been reading the book Modern Defensive Football by Gomer Jones and Bud Wilkinson and this defense interests me. What Coverages did you play and how successfull were you with it???

A little different then the diamond 7 but definately something to take a look at. I know Coach Mountjoy and Coach Easton have talked about using the 7-1 diamond agains the double wing.

The box was our primary defense, a few years ago, it produced 5 shutouts almost immediately... we may actually be bringing it back to life this season

The 7-1 merely loads the LOS!

THAT ODP IS SOMETHING ELSE AGAINST OPTION AND COMPLIMENTARY RUNNING PLAYS!!! Coach Easton-TIGER ONE
