adjusting the 42 / 44 to the 46 bear for pressure?

Coach I am running a 4-4 with a base alignment of a 7, 3 strong, and a 1, 5 weak. Our OLB's align up on the LOS at 2yds off the end man. When we switch to a Bear (4-6) front we bump the wk end to a 4i and the WOLB tilts himself and gets into a sprinters stance. To the Strong side we bump our 7tech out to replace the SOLB. The 7tech also gets into a tilted sprinters stance. The SOLB moves to the 7tech on the TE and has him M/M. We play Man free coverage behind it. The rule we play by is that the SE and the WOLB attack deep as the deepest and if the play is away from them they trail for BCR (bootleg, counter, reverse), they have pitch and contain when the play is to them. When we want to blitz the SOLB, we have a Rat call which tells the SOLB to stunt inside and the F/S to pick up the TE in man coverage. I hope this helps some. Coach Jarvis

actually it helps us because usually the OT has a hard time blocking the 4i. We try to use speed and attack with the DE in the 4i. We have our 4i key the outside shoulder of the OG and attack according to his block. I've ordered Rex Ryans 4-6 book and I am looking to see if there are other adjustments we could use. I can send you some of our stuff if you want. email me at rjarvis1@cfl.rr.com and give me your address. HawkDC
