bear dl techniques

0 tech on the Center. 3 techs on OG's. DE on SE side = loose 5 tech. On the TE side - you will either have a DE OR OLB in an 8 technique coming off the edge.

Thanks for the input. Also, what do you guys feel the weaknesses of this defense are. I know this may sound crazy, but our staff is thinking about comitting to it as our base and doing some different things from it. What do yall think?

I would rep your Reactions to cross blocks(Tackle blocking down, guard pulling outside), and double teams......:light;

Coach Mountjoy,

How do you adjust your 4-4 to the set you described?

PS I find anything with a wing or H-back to the Y-side is a pain in the neck to defend out of any front.

Scott - put both DT's in 3 techniques. Take one ILB out of the game & replace him with a "0" technique NT. The OTHER ILB goes to MLB!

Scott

Who covers the single back if he flairs to the strong side the 9 tech?

I agree........

Coach Mountjoy,

To me, that seems roughly as vulnerable to speed option or counter weak:

.........................F

C..................W..M.......S...$.................C
.................5....1....3...7
X................T.G.C.G.T..Y
.........................Q.........H..................Z

..........................F

e.g. Speed option left, OT veer release for WLB, OG and C combo 1 tech to MLB, pitch off 5 tech. True, the FS can help out but FS can help out in the 46 too.

.........................F

......................M...............S.....C...C
..........9.W...3......0.....3...5
---------O--O--O--X--O--O-----------O
--------------------O----------O---O---
--------------------O--------------------

Note: CB, WLB and SLB might switch based on match up. MLB may be anywhere from 40 to a 00 depending on what the opponent likes to do.
