From our notebook:

DEFENSIVE ENDS: LINE UP IN A 5 TECHNIQUE (INSIDE SHOE TO OUTSIDE FOOT OF THE OT). READ THE OT: 1. IF THE OT BLOCKS DOWN INSIDE — CRASH OFF OT'S BUTT TO B GAP (TACKLE DIVE ON TRIPLE OPTION). 2. IF THE OT BLOCKS YOU — STAY ON HIS OUTSIDE HALF IN C GAP & YOU HAVE "QB UNDER" ON THE OPTION (F/S HAS "QB OVER"). 3. CONTAIN QB ON ALL PASSES (OUTSIDE PASS RUSH).

SAM & MIKE (ILBerS): LINE UP FACING THE B GAP & 4 YARDS DEEP. READ THRU THE B GAP (TO SEE OT'S BLOCK) TO THE NEAR BACK (FOR FLOW). 1. IF THE OT BLOCKS INSIDE & YOU SEE HIS COLOR IN B GAP — SCRAPE TIGHT OFF DE'S BUTT TO C GAP & YOU HAVE "QB UNDER" ON THE OPTION. 2. IF THE OT BLOCKS DE & YOU DO NOT SEE HIS COLOR IN B GAP — FILL QUICKLY ON THE DIVE (ON OR BEHIND THE LOS) FROM OUTSIDE-IN. 3. ON PASSES — NORMAL "COVER 1".

DEFENSIVE TACKLES: LINE UP IN A 1 TECHNIQUE (OUTSIDE SHOE TO CROTCH OF OG). DO NOT GET SPLIT MORE THAN FINGERTIP TOUCH APART. 1. YOU HAVE A GAP RESPONSIBILITY BUT IF THE OG BLOCKS DOWN ON YOU — FIGHT ACROSS HIS FACE & HELP ON DIVE FROM INSIDE-OUT. 2. ON ALL PASSES YOU HAVE INSIDE PASS RUSH.
