I’ve been telling linebackers since the early 2010’s to STOP RUNNING INTO OFFENSIVE LINEMEN. Thats what they want, don’t do their job for them. Run past them, you’re more athletic, that’s why you play linebacker!
@newdbcoach I don’t overemphasize it. Once a gap opens, don’t blindly fill it. Match the back path. Don’t commit to a gap if the back if the back isn’t committing.
Spill overlap path, shuffle and don’t overrun the carrier.
@cwoffo One word signals/calls. Everything has its own signal.
3-4 Fronts- tite(303), G (513), okie (505), heads (404)
Quad 4 down - tite (5115), G over/under (5,1,3,5) okie (5335) heads (4224)
Sniper- 5 down- tite, G, Okie, heads
Monster-6 down
Ghost- 6 down pass rusher front
@newdbcoach Edds are what we need to get better at. Good defenses are good at reads, block destruction and tackling so that’s our edds. We will weave game plan into our reads. We also have a Pod session to work scheme stuff we need to improve on.
@CoachTatum90 5-2. Shade to the TE/H. Roll a safety down to the H.
We give up an immediate flat route to the H but the DE in the face of the Q should help.
@_CoachBarfield A couple of things to look for. A lot of teams will run that slant/glance route from stacked 3. So I’ll tell that OLB to hang a bit. If they like to crack with the Y I’ll bump the OLB outside leverage of the Y.
@OneBackOff@MyCoachingTree@TullyTracking 4. Trips FIB. #3 screen to the boundary. GT counter to the field. If the nickel travels to boundary, run GT.
5. Empty. Read how they are going to handle #2 away from trips. Slant bubble on the outside. Q G wrap scheme inside.
@OneBackOff@MyCoachingTree@TullyTracking Easiest thing to do against undersized DL and blitzing LBs wash em down.
1. 2x2 tight stacks pistol, Truck toss. Attack the corner with a tackle.
2. 2x2. Back in the boundary. Run stick concept with the back and boundary #2 picking on ILB.
3. 3x1. Double slant, back Swing
@OneBackOff@TullyTracking Gotta make a statement. Going to do things to get them out of the 4-3 box or 1/4 look.
1. TE Trips Back Weak. Running buck sweep to the TE.
2. TE Trips. Q G wrap to the weak side open B gap. Back runs smash concept. Q reads that LB.
3. Double tight, slots. Jet power read
@OneBackOff@MyCoachingTree Play 3. 2x2. Power read. attack stack lb.
Play 4. Trips stick concept with Fk inside zone. The OLB will be late or the corner won’t jump the out.
Play 5. My favorite. Split back with an H. Power to the H. Speed option to the backside. Make them play all 3 phases. Read BS LB
@OneBackOff@MyCoachingTree DC here. Don’t have film.
Play 1. Trips strong. Running GT counter with the back to the solo side. Gonna see if the corner is about it.
Play 2. Trips strong flood. how they are handling the 2 and 3 to the flat with a rollout. Who’s takes the Q on roll. Is corner disciplined.
