Hello, New to boards and worried about tonights game....We play a very quick defense tonight and it's had me up all week.
Our team runs a Pro I Triple Option (We dont' actually read the Dive) and are going against a standard 4-4. Tackles are in 3 and 1 and ends are lined up in a 5 and 7. The ends crash through the V of the neck and play QB, the OLBs are walked up tight and cover pitch. We are a "smash mouth team with BIG lineman" so I think we will be able to move the ball a little with the dive. The problem is their DTs will DIVE at the feet and make a pile after a few plays of getting drove off the ball. They have stopped alot of teams.
We will throw it a little (Cover 3) but they get so much pressure on the QB even on playaction because they are playing responsiblity football.
I guess my questions are 1. What plays look good against this? 2. Anything to do about the DIVING DL?
We do also run G lead, which is a VERY good play for us, but with the ends crashing down it will be a very tough block for out guard.
Thanks.
