Last season I joined a new coaching staff. The defense is a 5-2. Versus a pro set the weak side tackle is in a 3 tech and the weak side end is in a 5 tech with contain/chase responsibility. As best as I can figure this is known as a 50 Reduction defense. Can anyone refer me to any material or information on this specific variation of the 50 defense. I have read that it may have originated with Coach Lou Tepper at Illinois but there seems to be very little out there about the specifics.

I got my hands on some Kansas State dvds and this material you were good enough to send me fills it out nicely.
