Life experience at work

• Many military experts will tell you that angles
  not brute force is the best defense.
• This defense creates angles for the defense to
  run to and opportunities for them to gang tackle
  were the offense wants to run.
• Looking at this from the sidelines coaches will
  want to attack the what they see is a weak spot.

Alignment

• The alignments give the impression that we are
  giving up the corner on every play but this is a
  pre snap read. We are not going to be were we
  where at the snap of the ball. The front 6 work
  together on controlled blitz packages while the C
  maintain contain, and BANDIT ROVER run the
  field. Safety is just that nothing gets behind
  the safety.

Strength

• Now the most teams count the number of people or
  a TE to make a strength call. We dont we use
  wide side or a feel to what the offense is doing
  to make our determinations on blitzs. On a basic
  wing -t team we are going to blitz a will or a
  sam on 90 of the downs.

6
Defensive linemen

• This is a Will, the D line slants hard away from
  the Will LB and the Lbs are moving towards the
  Will LB. The D line has to take a flat angle
  shooting for the next mans hip pad. Thus
  crossing the face of the O lineman. We never
  lineup in a gap and shoot it we line up on a man
  and then shoot the gap. Harder to know which way
  we are going to slant. Also the slanting causes
  Confusion on the o-line and we can either follow
  pulling G or meet them in the hole.

7
Corner Play

• Corner backs have outside contain and must keep
  their back to the sideline. The idea is to get
  the ball carrier outside and then to cut up into
  the pursuit.

Rover/Bandit

• Rover and Bandit. 1 Rule. FIND BALL HIT BALL.
  How many times have you had a kid that couldnt
  follow a scheme for squat but he could blast
  folks?
• Here is the position you can play him in. After a
  few shots on their RB people will start looking
  to find him. Do not hesitate to have these
  players attacking at all times.
• THINK PIT BULLS not blood hounds. Pit bulls might
  not find the right game all the time but they
  sure will bite every chance they get.
