i have a new base i am really leaning towards running fulltime this year. we call it "31 over tight cover 1"

..............................................RB
..............................................FB

..............................................Q...................................FL
................SE...................T..G..C..G..T..TE
....................................E.......N.....T..E....S
.................C.............R...........W.......M............................C

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

DE's are in 5-techs/Nose is a 1 tech/DT is a 3 tech/Sam is a 9-tech/Mike is a 40 tech/Will is a 10 tech/Rover is a 90 tech

Mike if run to has no gap so he could hit any seams from A to D gap...if run away hit backside A

Will has Strong A if run away and Weak B if run to

Sam is a stand up 9-tech and has contain if run to and chase if run away.....has #2 m/m on pass

I would like to hear your pros/cons and some coaching points i need to focus on.

This was an adjustment we used to run out of our 44 to deal with power running games. We would reduce the DT's to a 2 tech, but other than that, it is pretty much the same. I would not shift the Will that far over, though. weak B gap is an easy iso right now. I would probably align him over the G reading the G to near back. That being said, if you have a stud for your Will, then by all means you can make it work. As it is, you have a ton of pressure on that kid.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.

probably not, but you have a Mike who has no gap responsibility as it is. Using your basic alignment I would probably align my strong DT in a 2i to cover strong A, have my Mike with B-gap responsibility, and my will into a 20. If you really want that Mike stacked, I would stack him on a 2 technique (instead of the DT in a 2i). He should be able to flow well from there as the other OL are all covered. I'm a person who does not like to 2-gap unless I have a beast who can handle it with no worries.

Align Will in a 30. This is the way the defense was intended.

That is not a bad suggestion. The original alignment is very vulnerable to strongside trap.
