@CoachBradPage @CoachDanCasey @fbcoachsimpson @CoachTatum90 We tie it all into language.

Words that start with T tell our 3 dlinemen to be in 4-0-4. G words they are in 5-2-2 with the olb attached. we can tag the dline techniques. So Tuff Wide would get us into 5-0-5. We can add new words to create new fronts. Tower wide= 505 stack.

@chooserich I am going into 3 years of remission this fall from HL. Last cancer scan next month if it’s clean.

It sucks… and was awful…but there can be light on the otherside.

This quote was plastered on my door so I saw it every morning.

“A man may be destroyed but not defeated”.

@The_Coach_A This has always been a day 1 install for us.

Inverted half to 2x1,3x1 and then check quarters/palms if we get 2x2.

Cool to see Pats doing some of it!

@CoachVass I really have enjoyed the stuff I’ve seen from Navy the last two years on defense.

Parma Western is looking for a week 6 in 2026. We will be D4, maybe D3.

We will have 3 levels of football.

Email me at [email protected] to see if we could make it work!

@TYash42 I am a self proclaimed all American post safety..haha

[Cody Bentley @cbentle8]

@425DC1 The front name tells them. So for us G words are 4 down and T words are 3 down. So when we go from T to G we call it TanGo and when we got from G to T we call it GaTe.

@coachkou This is basically our base against this stuff. I like it too because you can run 5 man run pressures against it!
