CODY_GARDNER Feb 21 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1) OLB, teach a false step so feet start the way, in 9 tech start square punch to stagger, if OLB is spill, read step is 2 sq #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:10 PM EST

opposite of the RB since zone will most likely being going away from RB #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

CODY_GARDNER Feb 21 @ 9:11 PM EST

When we were 3-4, read step told me what he was doing. Footwork has to match read step. Force-stagger Spill-Square Film check! #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:12 PM EST

and I said end but could be beneficial for inside guys as well #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue, @CoachLawsonSDSU

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:17 PM EST

Do whatever I can/find best way to outnumber the offense at the point of Attack. I believe the ways you do it are ...#SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

PigSkinCoach Feb 21 @ 9:18 PM EST

A1 we had athletes that "felt" more comfortable in thst stance and could do the job #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Feb 21 @ 9:18 PM EST

Most importantly, know your gap! Vs 22 or 21 personnel definitely like to bring a little pressure #swarmfbchat

BenClubb32 Feb 21 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: Like to stack the box. A lot of time will stay in Okie look with ends in 4, bring rush/dog (OLB) off edge for for man pressure.

PigSkinCoach Feb 21 @ 9:21 PM EST

A2 against two back in our base never brought much pressure if we rep press run reads #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:21 PM EST

Always have taught Whatever foot is back, that hand is down as well #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachTLambert, @rmacblue

CoachTew Feb 21 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2; we like to roll cover 3 to get extra hat in box. #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:23 PM EST

also when striking, it is always about inside hand placement on the chest plate of OL no Matter what #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachTLambert, @rmacblue

CoachChrisStier Feb 21 @ 9:23 PM EST

A1 #SWARMFBCHAT Second step is more important to not get reached - 1st step is contact, 2nd step is react. Shade hand down.

coachaj623 Feb 21 @ 9:26 PM EST

#swarmfbchat A3: I love pass rush with DL! Technique technique technique. I love to teach it & work on it.

CoachTew Feb 21 @ 9:28 PM EST

A3: know your rush lane. Key the ball. Work outside half of man. Don't be flesh magnets! Use hands. Don't run past qb depth! #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:28 PM EST

We teach Vertical Setline theory for Pass rush So Rushers Draw a line 4 yards deep 4rm OL outsides foot. then based #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:29 PM EST

on whether we beat the OL to that spot or not and whether OL stays on the line dictates what we do #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:30 PM EST

If he stays on the Line and we are even with him or past him at that point, we tell our DL to SpeedRush past him #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

PigSkinCoach Feb 21 @ 9:31 PM EST

We rep variety of tools in pass rush off season, summer, pre season by time season comes stop run, narrow t #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:32 PM EST

if he stays on that line and beats us to point, we tell our Guys to Bullrush. #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:33 PM EST

and if he gets off this line we tell them to counter inside but have to have understanding DC or HC or... #SWARMFBCHAT

Q4: @CoachLawsonSDSU What do you look for in a stance? Run stance vs Pass Rush stance? #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachLawsonSDSU

BenClubb32 Feb 21 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3: Ball get offs, block shedding is a must every day. Hoop rush w/ towel grab is also great. Teaches them to dip the shoulder! #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:35 PM EST

Also big key in pass rush is your DL alignment presnap. get them WIDE, force the OL to operate in space #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachDiG Feb 21 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3: been working in some roll tackle at the back end of hoop to give great aiming points #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @BenClubb32

CODY_GARDNER Feb 21 @ 9:37 PM EST

A4) little more narrow on full pash rush situation, alignment will loosen. Space is scary.... #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:37 PM EST

so many rushes are killed by dline being foot 2 foot w/ OL. We tell our Outside guys a max of 1 yard outside OT #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

coachaj623 Feb 21 @ 9:38 PM EST

#swarmfbchat A4: Athletic but comfortable balanced stance that player can be powerful in. Each player is different so stance may be too.

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:38 PM EST

inside guys in the middle of the gap or even a little wider. Again, space and width is our Friend #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @rmacblue

CoachTew Feb 21 @ 9:40 PM EST

A4: inside hand down same foot back. Compressed like a spring #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:40 PM EST

Hip width base. Run stagger is back foot splits up foot. Pass Stagger is Back foot at least at the heel of Upfoot #SWARMFBCHAT

@CoachLawsonSDSU we are switching from a 4-2 base to a 3-3 base this year. Tips for a successful install? #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachLawsonSDSU

BenClubb32 Feb 21 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4: Usually don't mind guys being balanced. A lot of time guys are slanting when OLB comes off edge #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:42 PM EST

also teach butt slightly above head in both. believe this allows us to fire out with leverage best #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachLawsonSDSU

CoachTew Feb 21 @ 9:42 PM EST

A4: inside guys have also toyed with both hands down in 4 point. Keeps them low and able to attack double team better. #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Feb 21 @ 9:43 PM EST

We get so few drop back teams, pure pass rush stuff applies, plus our guys are repped if it that easy retrace for screen #swarmfbchat

CoachLawsonSDSU Feb 21 @ 9:44 PM EST

Dont try to do to much 2 fast. Tried to install bamas cover 3 w/ 3-3 i ran in college. Gave up 110 points in my first 2 games #SWARMFBCHAT
