defending double tights

DC29,

I liked your post. As we were discussing yesterday on another post, the sign of a good coach is his ability to make adjustments on the run. If you hadn't seen it before thats exactly what your forced to do.

Joepa (I think your handle has been taken for quiite a few years now, hasn't it? Ha) If your looking at Double tights your looking at a power formation par excellent! Make sure your DE's know how to take on a kickout, shed it and get to the ball carrier! Make sure your tackles know how to expect and shed a down block by the tites and dont get defeated by the combo blocks. Make certain your backers know their reads and responsibilities. I teach my DE's to jam the tites! If they engage before the kickout comes, it can't be made if they throw the TE back into the bubbled path of the FB or backside guard attempting to make the block! Your going to have at least 8 in the box, and sometimes 9 now days, and if you can't stop that run now, your in a world of hurt for sure. If you start stuffing them and spilling the ball to the perimeters, make certain your contains guys are well drilled on their responsibilities and their ability to tackle! Make sure your FS is welll drilled on his reads and how to come roaring down, UNDER CONTROL OF COURSE, and smack the ball carrier into the middle of next week! Good luck!
