Attacking the 46 bear???

go 5 wides, trips to the front side, twins to the backside. Set trips with y end on and two slots 1yd off with a 5yd split between them. Put the X on and the backside slot splitting the difference between your quick tackle and the X at 1 yd. off LOS. You will pull them right out of that 46 in no time! If they stay with it, you'll kill them. Who says you can't pass against it? Don't put your QB under center, go with a shotgun snap at 6 yds. He will have a field day! If they are bringing heat off the backside edge, pull your slot in and hide him behind your BST. On the snap, just have him chip and slide across the LOS on a 2 yd. speed out (flat route) . Your X will have run the CB off and all your QB has to do is get rid of the ball on time and accurately to your slot. He will be between the defender and the QB, it's indefensible! If the heat is from the front side, do the same exact thing with the inside slot receiver. Have your outside slot run a 7 yd. curl and the Y to run a fade or go. Single read by the QB on the SS if you catch them in man. If he jumps the inside slot on the speed out, hit the curl. If he squats to take the curl away, hit the speed out right now. Whatever deep verts you want to stretch them with, have a zero route underneath (Shallow crossing route) and a bench or swing or whatever route you utilize as safety valve.
When you have the defenders horizontally spread from sideline to sideline in the PSL, and then by proper pattern selection you keep them on an island with no help, why would anybody say you can't throw on them?

I heard that Coach! Formation planning is the key! I killed a 46 D that was leading our league in points allowed with my spread outlined above. The weakside counter you just described that Joe ran was unstoppable because by formation he had forced them to become vulnerable (I know you know, just trying to help the younger coaches) but wanted to emphasize the point that NO DEFENSE EVER INVENTED
CAN BE INPENATRABLE BY THE RUN OR THE PASS IF YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND FORMATION PLANNING. STUDY YOUR OPPONENT AND FIND OUT EXACTLY HOW HE RUNS WHAT HE RUNS, AND THEN GO WITH FORMATIONS THAT WILL TAKE HIS STRENGTHS AWAY AND MAKE HIM VULNERABLE, AND THEN ATTACK THOSE VULNERABILITIES!!!

Spread pressure defenses out with formations and motion against the bear. Hard for the Bear to stop inside veer. Coach CAmpbell
