3. 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.

5. Strength Now the most teams count the number of people or a TE to make a strength call. We don’t 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. Now the most teams count the number of people or a TE to make a strength call.

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.
