      Q1: Generic Start: When do you like to blitz? By tendency? Down & Distance? Gut? Field or Ball Location? Combo of each? #swarmfbchat
  • NickyT4098 Apr 11 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: A lot of the time we like to blitz when the ball is on the hash. Bring pressure from the boundary #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Honestly, we gameplan our blitzing; but I almost always send guys when I feel it's the right time. Risky? Perhaps. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Ryan Desrochers LB Coach/DC Millennium High School, Goodyear, Az #stripeup #swarmfbchat
  • CoachByrd_ Apr 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Combo of all those things I try to blitz smart know exactly why we blitzing and not just guessing #swarmfbchat
  • coach_andyscott Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1, As a 3-3 team we bring 1 every snap from somewhere, that is our base, but full tilt blitz has to be based on tendencies #swarmfbchat
  • Z_QUEZ Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Combo- D & D + tendencies, what to make sure we're being pressure at the right time and we don't get torched! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1- evolve during the game, start with tendency, then look at what is successful, sometimes it becomes jimmy and Joe battle #swarmfbchat

    Andy Swedenhjelm DC/LBs Newton High School, Newton, IA #swarmfbchat
  • godalwayzfam1st Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Like to blitz when I WANT to! Not bcuz I have to! Can be D&D, game plan, and/or O tendency related! Bottomline... #goin4KO #swarmfbchat
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1) Agressive by nature. Down & Distance will dictate a lot. As will Tendency/Formations by certain opponents #swarmfbchat
  • Mr_Tanner23 Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Tendency, try and blow up what they like to do #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1) We tend to game plan our blitzes by tendencies. We have blitzes that we like against certain schemes. #swarmfbchat
  • BenClubb32 Apr 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    If I could I would blitz every down. Typically, 1st and 2nd down. Want to send a message the first couple plays! #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT
      Q1: Generic Start: When do you like to blitz? By tendency? Down & Distance? Gut? Field or Ball Location? Combo of each? #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: More of a D/D, tendency on the field location type of blitz caller. Late in the game I change on what the O is doing. #swarmfbchat

  • coachmolzen Apr 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Denny Molzen HC Castro Valley CA #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Combination ofall. Really like edge pressure and interior pressure. Closer they get to my endzone... more heat I'm bringing. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Anyone out there limited by blitzing because of too many 2-way starters? #swarmfbchat
  • DrIronstein Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: All the time,but blitzes must be called to attack tendencies of d/d and personnel,field location dictates coverage concept. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • Coach_ZC Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Combo of all, tendencies in early downs to help get the O to 3&L so we can get get the ball back to our O. #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: gut #swarmfbchat
  • godalwayzfam1st Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    EXACTLY... Send a message!!! LOVE THAT!! #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @BenClubb32
  • MiersMatt Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Ideally I don't like to blitz. Best game was last fall. One blitz. Otherwise base defense. Will blitz by field position. #swarmfbchat
  • coachmolzen Apr 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1) Our DC is a feel guy but first thing we look at when to Blitz is protection & opp tendencies in certain situations #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1) I also feel there's value on blitzing based on personnel. Attack the weak link in their offensive front. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    Wade Halvorsen Aurora HS, NE Defense/SC #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1: mostly down distance and tendency. Some Gut. I like pressure a lot! #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT
      Q1: Generic Start: When do you like to blitz? By tendency? Down & Distance? Gut? Field or Ball Location? Combo of each? #swarmfbchat
  • coachjlord Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1: we pressure based off of tendencies and combine coverages to take away favorite offensive zones evolves as game continues #swarmfbchat
  • tothehouse Apr 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1 - I like to blitz formations. Kids have been trained during the week. Call made. They go. Feel, and DandD help as well. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Q2: Are you a fan of sending multiple blitzers or single blitzers? What do you base that on? #swarmfbchat
  • Skillutt28 Apr 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    Jeff Lutt DC & GBLB Coach Great Bend HS, KS Daughter turned 11 today. Will have to sit this 1 out tonight. I'll catch up later #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    Cont-been lucky to have some great athletes upfront so we haven't had to blitz a ton in the past 2 years to create pressure. #swarmfbchat
  • ColbryL Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Colbry Lathan Assistant Coach Okolona High School (MS) #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2 so many factors. Down/distance, tendency, pass/run reads, formation. #swarmfbchat
  • tothehouse Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2 - I like bringing 6-7 and selling out. I like disguising everything as well. Takes practice time...but worth it. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2-can we stop you with plus one. If not then plus 2. Not a zero blitz guy #swarmfbchat
  • CoachAltmanWM Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2 Can send both and not be upset. I like 2 blitzers. Again, tendancies from film and game dictate. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A1: I love multiple blitzers; primarily because we aren't afraid to play Zero behind it. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2: we r a 3-4 team so I always send 1 but don't consider that blitzing. Must send 2 to get home and cause havoc on offense #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2: run a 34, when blitzing always sending at least 2. #swarmfbchat
  • NickyT4098 Apr 11 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2:If you have kids who are great blitzers, send them both.Want to make sure we have our rear ends covered in the back end too #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2) Being a 3-4 team we send at least four every play. We probably bring 4 rushers 2/3 of the time and 5+ the other 1/3 #swarmfbchat
  • coachjlord Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    Will bring multiple players but understand the vacancies they create. Will bring to mainly overload or force the +1 #swarmfbchat
  • BenClubb32 Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: Love to see us sending multiple guys. The more we can have in the QBs face the better. Force the issue! #swarmfbchat
  • coachmolzen Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2) Depends-does Blitz give us a numerical adv. based on protection? With that said, like to stick to 1 = less zones vacated #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: cont. blitzing numbers will be based on off form and coverage we are playing, #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    Forgot my intro. Jeramie Tew DC Sapulpa, OK #swarmfbchat
  • godalwayzfam1st Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2: I like 2man pressures...whether it's DLine stunt w/ a 2nd level guy, our (2) 2nd level guys. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachSimard Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2: As an OLine Coach, twists off the edge, particularly when we're facing a tough DE/OLB combo keep me up Thursday nights #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2) A lot of the time it depends on how we match up coverage wise. The better we match up the more we'll send pressure. #swarmfbchat
  • coach_andyscott Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2, all blitzes are built to be disruptive to an offense without giving up something cheap or deep, coverage is vital #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2: all depends on game plan #swarmfbchat
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2)When I had personel to run 3-4 we rushed atleast 1 every play. Passing D/D Usually 2 occasionally 3. Cat & Mouse game #swarmfbchat
  • Z_QUEZ Apr 11 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A2: like both, send one to if we feel like we have a wasted guy in coverage & like two to cause havoc & hopefully get a sack! #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A2: I think our game plan dictates this decision the most. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A2: Love sending two but more realistic w/1 again situational and you've gotta have the dudes that can cover. #swarmfbchat
  • coachblawson Apr 11 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A2) I like to send multiple into the boundary so with the open zones we can cover those up by forcing qb to the sideline. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A2: like 5 man pressures but became big fan of 6am pressures a few years ago after learning how to play zone and adjust #swarmfbchat
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A2) Continued ... Also depends on Zone or Man Coveage Behind. The better they are in man coverage the less rushers needed #swarmfbchat
  • CoachSimard Apr 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    Bingo - that's a great coaching queue for O side in PassPro Indies. Weak Link gets ID'd and beat up on. "Don't be THAT guy!" #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @tsbulldawgs64, @rmacblue
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    Man...you guys are killing it on these tweets - I can't barely keep up! Awesome job - good stuff being shared on #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT
    Q3: Will you run line games with blitzing? Do you have a favorite combination? (really want to read these tweets!) #swarmfbchat
  • coachtanis Apr 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT
    A1) We like 2 blitz 2 all of those. Poor center or young QB too. Also, will use it to & try to set the tone that we r coming. #Swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT
      Q1: Generic Start: When do you like to blitz? By tendency? Down & Distance? Gut? Field or Ball Location? Combo of each? #swarmfbchat
  • Jacket5193 Apr 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT
    Q2. When we go 2 an odd front with a true nose & two 4i's , I send my nose strong A & my Will weak A call it okie + arrow weak #swarmfbchat
  • NickyT4098 Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3: Off the edge we do. Will crash DE inside and bring OLB off the edge. Sometimes we bring them both off of the same edge #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3: Anytime you can exploit weakness is a good thing #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3: Love the Double A-gap blitz with a dropped NG; also love a long-stick 5-tech with OLB/ILB from same side. #swarmfbchat
  • Mr_Tanner23 Apr 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A2: love sending one backer w/ a line stunt, sometimes we have multiple 2nd level guys coming w/in the game plan #swarmfbchat
  • CoachAltmanWM Apr 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @CoachAltmanWM
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A3: stem our dline almost every down, keeps the oline guessing, while blitzing, when we zone blitz 3o3u will run a dline twist. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3: edge - 5 man- long stick cross face nose 🇺🇸blitz 6 man-single gap-1 off each edge #swarmfbchat #only140characters
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3: We only used one line stunt last year. I would like to more this fall. Going to use spring to get better at them. #Swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3: outside of full line slants and gap exchanges with blitzing LBs we don't do a lot of line games. Want to learn some tho #swarmfbchat
  • CoachPierskalla Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3: YES! The line games can open lanes, especially if you find the weak link and have disciplined LBs that can read on the run #swarmfbchat
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3)Again if Personel allows for it. Keep Offense guessing. 3-4 Strong ILB Walks up shows B Gap Blitz, Nose goes weak A Gap #swarmfbchat
  • coachtanis Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A2) We like to bring 6 the most, but will bring 5 as well. I think u have to grade the efficiency of the blitz. #swarmfbchat
  • coachmolzen Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3) Pinch or double pinch w/ outside pressure. We will ET or TE with an ILB blitz. Always try to create a 2 on 1 or 3 on 2. #swarmfbchat
  • coach_andyscott Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3, @CoachCandela99 brought some games in that we still run, 3 Man DL game with OLB Pressure #swarmfbchat
  • coachjlord Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    will combine based on protection scheme 4 passing down & run fit opportunity have 2 be very disciplined 2 pass off offensively #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3 cont. twist happens away from blitz side, always attack a-b-c of blitz side, twist helps free up hole defender #swarmfbchat
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3) Str Side OLB shows late comes hard off edge, Strong DE comes off butt of SILB into Strong A Gap Roll to Cover 3 from 2 high #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:32 PM EDT
    A3: full line slant to boundary both ILB and OLB off edge from field. Great for sprint out and boot #swarmfbchat
  • coachmolzen Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3 cont) we also had success showing Lb Blitz from one gap to get RB to commit and bring stunt/pressure away from RB #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3) I love gap exchanging the DE and OLB from a 3-4. T blocks DE. G climbs to ILB. OLB comes free. #swarmfbchat
  • tothehouse Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3 - Bring 2 - Long stick. Blammo!!! #SWARMFBCHAT 💣💣💣
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3-we will line up vanilla 3-4 quarters look and move and stunt from there, favorite is shift to a shade front then zone blitz #swarmfbchat
  • coachtanis Apr 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    A3) Most of our blitzes we have DL on the move as well. Like Dbl Edge pressure with N/T twist or DL pinching. #swarmfbchat
  • tothehouse Apr 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    A3 - #SWARMFBCHAT Bring 2 - Long stick. Blammo!!! 💣💣💣
  • BenClubb32 Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3: Do a few with ILB and end. End sticks B with Mac LB off edge. End must be quick to rip and cross face! #swarmfbchat
  • Z_QUEZ Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3: we are simple with our blitzes but will crash end across Ts face to pull him in & pressure comes off his butt with OLB. #swarmfbchat
  • coachmolzen Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    Well, our little guy is melting down early tonight so got to go. Can't wait to read the rest later tonight. #swarmfbchat
  • godalwayzfam1st Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3: I LOVE combo blitzing, but again I'm going 4 the KO! I like a TON or NOT stunt with a +1 inside! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3:We keep it simple-some stem w/ DL also pre-play Gap exchange with Mike blitz. We change DL alignment which keeps OL on toes.#swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    We will have an extremely fast front 4. Except for our 3 tech. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @RoyCash66, @rmacblue
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3: send nose away from blitz, 4 tech to c gap. ILB blitz c gap and the OLB blitzing B gap after ILB has cleared. #swarmfbchat
  • godalwayzfam1st Apr 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    That's another 1 I love! #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    A3) Continue #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    Q4: Besides the typical man coverage when blitzing, what other coverages do you like when sending multiple blitzers? #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    A3 Cont-still do generic TON, NOT Etc. depending on situation/matchup. #swarmfbchat
  • Mr_Tanner23 Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    A3: most of our blitzes are paired with line games.. slants, twists, w 2nd level bringing heat #swarmfbchat
  • Jacket5193 Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    From a 3-4 look we blitz strg outside LB off edge, D end goes under & SS runs down 2 replace LB. Call it loop strng 3 silver. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Apr 11 @ 9:37 PM EDT
    A4 2, 2 solo, 3, match 1/4s #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A3: gotta always have a way to blitz the back to put them in a bind #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    Cody Gardner Defensive Coordinator Park City, UT Answers come lighting round style, #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A1) Gut, and I've have a nice one. #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_ZC Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A4: Fire Zone or Trap #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachPierskalla Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A4: our 3-5-3 allows for cover 3 without changing the shell look when blitzing #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A4: I still think a good Split Field Coverage is wonderful with blitzing as is 2-read/Palms/Combo. Change it up! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGrayvold Apr 11 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A4 3 deep behind it and play hot underneath. Allows any audibles to be covered and deep coverage if the blitz doesn't hit home #swarmfbchat
  • DrIronstein Apr 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A3) Yes,especially vs zone scheme. Slant and cross gap backer blitzes away from slant.Combats OL movement & alters QB's read. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    We run man, 2 read (match quarters) and a 3over 3 under scheme #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A4) We play a lot of 3 Under 3 Deep coverage behind out 5 man pressures. #swarmfbchat
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A4) Vs 2x2 Sets Our Quarters Coverage scheme is my favorite pattern match #2 #swarmfbchat
  • coachtanis Apr 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A1) Another big reason we will blitz is if kids don't want 2 play downhill & fill their gaps! Blitzing is a gr8 way 2 fix that #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A2) As many as I can get away with, 3 deep 2 under, I ain't scared! #swarmfbchat
  • coachjlord Apr 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    3-3 so we will also play a cover 3 scheme based on formation and we will allow #2 to control our width for on middle Zone #swarmfbchat
  • NickyT4098 Apr 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4: Love Cov 3 when blitzing. Field LB plays HOT, boundary safety plays HOT too. Blitz Mike and Will. Very effective #swarmfbchat
  • coachblawson Apr 11 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4) some sky and cloud coverage, giving up certain zones "middle hole" and others to cover the hotter pass zones. #swarmfbchat
  • coach_andyscott Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A4, we will play a pattern match concept behind our 4 and 5 man pressures #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    Late to the party, sorry. On spring break in SC. A3: I like gap ex with 3 and will backer, especially to power teams #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A4: became big fan of 3 over 2 few years back visiting Michigan St putting max pressure while staying 3 deep #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A4:Split field (bound/field) really like 2 man w/aggressive cb's while maintaining leverage to funel to next level. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A4-3-3 fire zone or 4 by2 fire zone with trap flats #SWARMFBCHAT
  • coachjsam Apr 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A4: no matter what coverage you run behind it, you will have holes in it. Changing the looks is always best #swarmfbchat
  • DrIronstein Apr 11 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A4) love split field/combo coverages, allows flexibility to pressure vs trips/uneven formationsVs screen like to buzz flats DEs.#swarmfbchat

    A3) TGOG, two gap, open gap, it's built in. Conversely we do have a check to not, wrap your head around that #nyeguy #swarmfbchat
  • coachtanis Apr 11 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A4) We will play 3 Deep 2 Under, 3 Deep 3 Under, Cover 4 w/ a tweak, & 2 deep zone. #swarmfbchat
  • Mr_Tanner23 Apr 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A4: 3 deep w/ one middle hook defender (rarely)... 90% of the time we are man when bringing pressure. Best pass d = PASS RUSH #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A4 Cont-generally keep man, adjust depth/leverage. That's when you're DBs gotta be the most confident men on the field! #swarmfbchat
  • tknipp9 Apr 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Todd Knipp, Asst. Coach, Chesapeake, OH #swarmfbchat
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    A4-cont have multiple coverages to each blitz both man and zone #swarmfbchat
  • tknipp9 Apr 11 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A1: When I wake up, when I eat breakfast, and all of the times that you listed. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Q5: Do you have specific blitzes for your secondary? How/when do you utilize those special blitzes? #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A4) Spitfield helps, 3D2U, roll 3 with hard corner willing to play coverage to protect flat & H/C players so blitzing them fits #swarmfbchat
  • Z_QUEZ Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A4: cover 3 or invert 2 #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A5: We can blitz either corner and both safties! We don't do it often, but we like the element of surprise from our sideline #swarmfbchat
  • tknipp9 Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A2: I am a fan of multiple blitzers. Big fan of bringing more than the offense can protect. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTew Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5: not a fan of blitzing cb or safeties at the high school level. Don't mind bringing SS versus 2 back from the single side. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5: LOVE blitzing my CB's to outside/jet sweep heavy teams. I'll roll to 3 or man combo behind it. #swarmfbchat
  • tsbulldawgs64 Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5) We didn't have any last year but the DBs are begging for them so we'll probably make it happen this year. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachPierskalla Apr 11 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    A5: I'm always too scared to bring the secondary but they always ask! Would rather that they just stick to coverages and INTs #swarmfbchat
  • coach_andyscott Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5, not as much as we should, do have a Corner Blitz that we don't run much, we do bring all 3 Safeties at some point #swarmfbchat
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5- yes we do we go over them and not paralyze them, let their athleticism take over #swarmfbchat
  • tknipp9 Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A3: I like to use short stick and long sticks with the D-Line. #swarmfbchat
  • tothehouse Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5 - Rarely run it...but will bring a corner. Usually from the boundary. We definitely bring OLBs/safeties...that's a must. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5: We don't, tried it last year but only called it a few times. Eventually would like to be able to zone blitz w/Sec. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachWelden Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5. Not a ton of man secondary blitzes, corner from boundary, zone blitz, will roll safety's down and blitz a-b-c gaps #swarmfbchat
  • Z_QUEZ Apr 11 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    A5: will not carry any secondary blitz this year 😔 being a DB guy I love them though! #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A5) trap 2 for corners, especially vs 1 WR with reduced splits, Can bring either safety with zone or man. It's all in the book #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A5: Very rare, like keeping them in back half that's why we look 4 athletic LBs that can fly! Now in JV-CB boundary blitz HA! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A5: love a good corner blitz. Players always seem to get very excited about it #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CometBacker2011 Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A5) Burried in playbook. Small School with 1 Pure Defensive Day of practice. Dont want to overload the kids #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    *I don't blitz enough, it's all in there and sound,,,,rather just line up play ball. #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    I agree. Would much rather run it from the boundary than the field. #swarmfbchat

  • CoachSimard Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A5: On O, this is where our sideline video comes into play. 1 guy watches e/play 4-6 times for tendency. Identify this: BIG$$$$ #swarmfbchat
  • RogerBurtonwphs Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A4: just play some version of quarters when we blitz or a man free #swarmfbchat
  • DrIronstein Apr 11 @ 9:49 PM EDT
    A5) Love corner blitz from boundary, FS blitz when expect rollout to field side, wk safety blitz auto when motion to 2 back. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • Coach_ZC Apr 11 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A5: Everyone on the field is eligible to blitz. #swarmfbchat
  • HossWagner Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    Love those corner pressures! #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachDiG
  • tknipp9 Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A4: We like use multiple coverages with our blitzes. Most are based on offensive alignment. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachHalvorsen Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A5 Cont-will blitz play side CB against double wing teams with orbit motion just to create havoc on the reads/pitch. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachAltmanWM Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A5 we dont, but I have run them in past in other places. We have run corner blitz from the boundary or safety through a gap #SWARMFBCHAT
  • RogerBurtonwphs Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A5: try to bring the boundary CB some away from trips and as a safety net have worked buzzing DE to the flat with it #swarmfbchat
  • Mr_Tanner23 Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A5: we have them in the toolbox but rarely use them.. We bring pressure from our "bandit"(old/ss) some vs. TE sets #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    Sorry for late start tonight. Ryan Lucchesi DC Muskego, WI #swarmfbchat
  • coachtanis Apr 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A5) We usually have a couple game plans a yr where we will bring a CB.. Based on ability. Safeties are rare bc we are 2 high. #swarmfbchat
  • tknipp9 Apr 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A5: Right now, no. But blitzes are easily adaptable to include the secondary. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    Heck Yeah!!!!! I caught up!!!! #lightinground #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A1: Lots of tendencies w/ D&D. Tons of pressure checks/BTF's (blitz the formation) as well. 3rd & long = FUN 4 us #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    Fellas - that's all the Qs we have lined up for you tonight - really nice job with the tweets. As always, my pleasure to host #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A2: Combo of both. Depends what type of opponent we're seeing, scenario, etc. Much based off coverage we play behind it. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    You are the reason this night has become so successful and engaging each time we meet! Thanks you for your cont. support #swarmfbchat
  • CoachRDes Apr 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A5- cont we like to bring them and trap flats with other guys #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A2: Like any of us, every pressure needs to be sound. Can't blitz yourself into trouble = big plays = no good for us. #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    COACHES!!!!! Give a follow get a follow #goldenrule #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A3: line games are fun. Some too blitz side, others away. Love creating uncomfortability and uncertainty for the offense! #swarmfbchat
  • KJMcDonough Apr 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    A5) Seen some great plays with a boundary CB blitz. Great way to get unexpected edge pressure if there's a nub TE or solo WR #swarmfbchat

  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    Where's my right hand man @RoyCash66 go tonight during the #swarmfbchat ? You can't just leave me like that. 😜
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    A3: Love "knife" tech from our DE's to support edge pressure from Stack or OLB's. Someone will come free! #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    Thanks for hosting! I learn a little more every time I'm here. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT
    A3: Also will switch gap responsibilities after we establish the previous blitz technique. Again, confuse the OL! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A4: can play cover 3 or 2 when sending multiple. Rules do not change much being a heavy matchup team. Kids need to find work! #swarmfbchat
