Giving away the blitz

You can do a lot of things and give many different looks to an offense. you can show with one backer then have him back out and bring another. Have them creep up during the cadance and back out. Right as the offense is coming to the LOS be in a blitzing stance staced behind the DT. Making the offense think you might have a stunt on. you can show early and back out early, show and bring it. All thins is to confuse the OL and have them change and/or hesitate in their blocking scheme. Let the LB's have fun and fly around, cause chaos. but make sure they are doing their job whitih the defensive scheme.

You SCOUT their cadence! Then - you determine how much disguise you use!

PS: In OUR Oneback offense (which uses 3 free releases & 2 check releeases - which gives you 7 man protection) ONLY the F/S needs to be read. IF he stays in MOF - we can block any blitz they bring. If he cheats down on an inside WR (giving away a blitz off the edge to that side) we may check the protection from 1 side to another, but we do not need to CHANGE the protection nor the play! We keep these things in mind defensively when setting up OUR blitz system.

DEFENSIVELY - If you are an 8 man front team - the F/S has to do the disguise - a good team won't even LOOK at the LBers, etc.!
