33/35 Defensive Calls

I'm interested in any info from coaches that have experience running a 35 front at the high school level. Coach Jordan

Coach Gold,
We are going with names for our stunts/blitzes. Trying to keep if very simple. "In, Out, Strong, Weak, etc."

I guess that's just my $.02

Coach Hawk,
How many differnent alignments do you use? At this point, I am only comfortable with 2 odd fronts. We sneak into a 40 front, but we still keep the 6 gap principle. Also, how many different stunts/blitzes out of the 33 do you use?
I'd love to talk to you about how you call different things. Maybe this is a simple question, but, after your basic 3-3 front, what are the advantages to sliding your interior 3 linemen around, besides giveing the offense a different look?
I think I see (in my mind) some of the different things you are talking about. Are you givivng the same types of slants/blitzes responsibilites out of many different looks?

Coach,
We get into so many different alignments I cannot tell you how many. For the kids it does not matter. If we tell them 33 they align in a 3 tech. Versus different offenses we like to use different fronts. Power teams we like 4I etc.... We still slant out of it. Our base is a 0 and two 5's. We blitz and move a lot. For our kids it is not a lot because it is the same stunt just the align in a different spot. We really want the offensive line to see a lot of things....
GOLLA

How do you signal this into the game? Do high school kids have troble with all the numbers?

This is where i think you would have to signal in numbers and words.

Example:

35 Out

3 means 30 front
5 means ends in a 5 tech
out is the dl/lb slant/blitz combo

You could have your d-ends in 3 different spots for 3 different combinations, which means if you have 10 slant/blitzes, you could make it 30.

or if you want the d-ends in different techs, you could make it 9 different combinations for 90.

as long as the d-line can still execute, i think this can be effective.

signal,
We always start or huddle calls with 2 numbers. First to the strong end the second to the quick end. then we call our blitz and or movement. We have come up with a system as a no huddle offense does. We have no calls etc.. Very simple for the kids... with a lot of possibilities.

Coach.
We broke every defensive record in school history.. We love this defense and the multiple looks it gives... We found a defense that fits the coaches and especially our kids....
