Why run the 33 Odd Stack

• Allows us to get BEST 11 athletes on the field
• Flexibility rush OR drop 8 players
• Easy to teach, techniques are ALWAYS the same
• Creates doubt in the offense due to pre-snap
  movement
• The defense promotes aggressive play
• There is no need for a Nickel or Dime package,
  again your best 11 are already on the field
• The defense easily morphs into a 4 or 5 man front.
