HOW TO GET IT DONE:

PLAY YOUR BEST PLAYERS!

SIMPLE (YET MULTIPLE) SCHEME -- MAJORITY OF LEARNING IN HANDS OF FEW

DEFEND FORMATIONS -- STOP WHAT THEY DO BEST!

WHYTHE 3-4?

Opportunity to put your best players on the field (DL vs. LB)

Flexibility / Disguise slant to / stem to other fronts

Dominant Nose can control a game increased pressure on Center

OL must face DL that will 2 gap, Shade, or Slant

Unfamiliarity with the scheme can lead to offensive confusion

Increase offensive preparation time

Create pass rush mismatches (OLBs on Backs, Guards, or Tackles)

Offense has to account for 7 potential immediate rushers (5 on

LOS)

Easier to blitz defensive backs - drops replaced by LB instead of DL

Easier to make coverage adjustments vs. EMPTY

3-4 PRESSURE PACKAGE3-4 PRESSURE PACKAGE

PRESSURE: 5 or more Rushers, or involving a DB in a 4 manrush

Be CREATIVE: Have flexible system to designate rushers

Be ADAPTABLE: Match pressures with opponent tendencies

Match coverage's with your personnel (Off Man, Bump,

Zone, etc.)

Send your best rushers but not 100% - Changeups

BLUFF show pressure & back out Droppers must be

good actors

Take calculated risks dont be reckless!

KNIGHTS DEFENSIVE LINE

STUNTS Out of any front we run we can simply tag a

stunt with the defensive line to disrupt

blocking schemes and create confusion.

Example of how we name our stunts:

TEX(OLB UNDER END)

TNT (MLB OVER NOSE) SPIKE (OLB OVER END)

PICK(WILL/MIKE OVER END)

SQUEEZE (END, OLB UNDER MLB)


30/48

DEFENSIVE LINE STUNTS

RULES FOR STUNTS

Slasher is first and slasher only

slants one gap over

Looper goes second and looper

always goes two gaps over.


31/48

DEFENSIVE LINE SLANTSWe very rarely play a two gap read technique here at

Bishop Montgomery.

We try to maintain as an attack defense by pre-

determining the gaps that the defensive line must

control. Thus clearing up the responsibility for the insideand outside linebackers by letting them know which gaps

they are responsible for as well. This also allows us to play

shade techniques (1/2 a man) up front.

Slant technique

As the Defensive line slants they must use a lateral step

their aiming point is the next outside shoulder in the

direction of the slant or angle. The Defensive line will

never slant to the open field if there is not a Tight End.

Cover 3

In our four man pressure we run two

major forms of cover 3. We call this by

name not numbers. In cover 3 without a zone blitz we will

have two hole players and two

S.C.A.R.F. players.

We will have 3 safeties and four undercoverage.

This allows us to be solid verse the run

and great verses most formations and

pass combinations.

Hole player does not have to

cover #3 receiver. he just drops
