Do any of you coaches run John T. Reed's 10-1/Gap-8/Gap-Air-Mirror Defense? If you do or if you've faced it, what's the difference between Reed's version and G.A. Moore's 10-1? Seems to me that Coach Moore's base 10-1 is more of an attacking defense than the G-A-M, but that's just my guess. Any opinions out there is cyberspace?
We ran Reed's 10-1 this year... it didn't help us out at all. I was pretty much forced within the confines of having to run it so adjusting to what their offense was doing (which was whatever they wanted) at half time was a horrible dilemma. I'm convinced every game we lost or almost lost was because of it. Sweep, offtackle to the boxing end (or don't even block him and run the fullback underneath), lead option, pass worked if they could pass well because the corner has no safety help... yeah, just about anything that wasn't inside the tackles worked.
Everyone who isn't one of the 6 d-linemen are in man coverage in Reed's 10-1 which I disagreeed with but it wasn't my call... you're right about it being non-agressive... its very reaction based defense. You can't adjust to anything they do with it unless you want to weaken the middle and have a roamer or someone playing deep. Basically if your middle backer misses a tackle it's pretty much touchdown because persuit is virtually non-existant with everyone on the line.
Thankfully our offense kept us in the game most of the time.
