The Evolution • 2008---Blitz Based • 14.8 points / game • Gave up 30 points twice • State Quarterfinals • 8-4 • 2009---Read, Movement and Formation Based • 6.1 points / game • 8 defensive shutouts • State Champions • 11-3 Record • One (1) 100 yard rusher • 2010---Read, Movement and Formation Based • 18.6 points / game • 12-2 Record • Forced 44 turnovers (3.1 Turnovers / game) • State Champion Runner-Up
Why the Odd Front Defense? Diversity, Flexibility, Adaptability
What we have to Defend: • Spread (3-5-3 / 3-4-4) • Empty (3-5-3 / 3-4-4) • Pro (5-3-3) • Unbalanced (5-3-3 Overload) • Trips Tight (5-3-3 Knock) • Double Tight, Double Wing (5-3-3)
Principle Defense • Stop Run (don’t be afraid to use extra people) --forces you to be good in man coverage • Play Fast, Run to the Ball • Make Guards and TE’s care—force double teams! • Hot –Cold Key Read / Open-Closed Windows • Make Opponent one-dimensional
Vs. Spread Match Numbers • if QB is runner, we need 7 in box • if QB is passer / non-running threat, we need 6 in box • nearly always zone trips / gives us extra run support player • dump option vs. Trips / Single (1/4, ¼, ½)
Alignment vs. Spread F B B B B B C C E N E
Vs Empty • No blocking back • Six man box gives us extra hat against run • Zone Trips • Man Two-Receiver side • Drop OLB and play 3-4 Cover 2 / 2 Lock • Bring Pressure: 1 more than they can block

Vs. Pro Myth: 3-5-3 defense can not stop power football • 3-5-3 = 5-3-3 • OLB—most diverse and important players in defense • Must be able to: • Play on LOS • Play in Space

Vs. Unbalanced • Line-up Unbalanced, we simply shift a man to strength. • Define unbalanced as two players on one side of center • We will often run a 5-4 Invert to get another hat in box and even numbers.

Vs. Trips Tight End • Must take pressure off TE-side OLB • Move your front 1 technique to TE side • Essentially, this front becomes a 4-3 Under look.

Vs. Double Tight / Double Wing • Roll into Man to Man • 5-3 roll to fly motion w/ free safety ---secondary run support is imperative --mirror load (Double Dive) --Fill edge on down (buck, toss)
