Common Spread Philosophy
•Spread field through Formation and motion
•Open up running lanes
•Create personnel mismatches
•“Take What you Give us philosophy
•Run the ball vs. appropriate numbers in the box (audible to 5 in the
box)•Pass the ball vs. appropriate numbers in the box (audible to 6 or 7 in
the box)
•Throw vs. Uncovered receivers
•Create the big play vs. the blitz
•Use of compressed formations to create confusion or gain anadvantage in numbers

Coach John [email protected]
• Take away an opponents best receiver by
alignment, coverage, or both. Jam on line with
safety help to test him. Align deep if he’s a deepthreat. Bracket him if you can afford it.
•Know the offensive coordinator’s philosophy and
take advantage of it
•Take away what they do best. Make them beat you
with someone or something other than their best
play.

Strategies for Defending the Spread
Offense•Play fastest players on defense
• If the team you are playing uses personnel packages togain advantages, use the same 11 players without
substituting•Stop the running game first with the least amount of
defenders in the box as possible. If you can stop the runwith 5 you have an advantage
•Force the offense to be one-dimensional by doing one of the
following:•Take away the pass. If you can consistently rush 3 and drop
8 defenders into pass coverage you are at an advantage
•Take away the run by loading the line of scrimmage witheight or nine defenders

offense from gaining an advantage
• Be prepared for no huddle
• Be prepared for personnel groupings
• Know their pass protection and how to attack it• Have a strategy to defend bunches and stacks

Principles for Applying Pressure
• Use more than one disguise per blitz
• Know the protection scheme you are attacking
• Know the opponent’s hot reads and sight adjustments
(may be able to force a certain throw favorable to you)
• Ensure your defense is gap sound
• Assign proper run force
• In man schemes, every potential receiver is accounted for
• Don’t allow offense to create a mismatch
• Create mismatches that favor the defense-attack weakness
• Disguise your intentions if at all possible

Principles for MaximizingPrinciples for Maximizing
Effectiveness of Pressure SchemeEffectiveness of Pressure Scheme• Pressure Calls MUST be scripted.
• Blitz Period /7 on 7/Team
– Practice the four looks (show, half, time, depth)– Show unusual formations/motion
– Force checks to prevent unfavorable situations
– Emphasize blitzing defenders redirect to the ball if play is a run

pressure pre-snap and drop a defender into a
passing lane?

We are playing man coverage with Spur and Bandit on #2’s (over vs. trips)
We will always send at least 1 linebacker; the other will be a hole defender.
If we send both inside backers, Dime will be hole defender unless covering #3 in empty.
Free Safety is playing deep middle. We can also use him to bracket a receiver & play 0.
Hole defender will abandon responsibility if R releases. In that case, man up on R.
