Ryan Thompson HC/DC Ashland-Greenwood Ashland, NE #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Dime package sub: Zeke weak side OLB. 1 d-line out, probably nose guard, shift T to nose. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: We want our SLB to be more "active", better lat runner; MLB is A-gap player/plugger; SS/WS are best athletes on field. #swarmfbchat

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: Warrior has to be able to play in the box and back in the shell. Whereas, the free is your space player and lane filler #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC May 16 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: Sam, Free, Whip. Mike/Bandit.#swarmfbchat

SS:Sam WS: Mac FS: FS ILB: X & Will #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Never play 2 high? Never play Cover 2 or 4? Not criticizing, just looking to improve. We didn't much this season, either. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CodyCaseNoSpace

CometBacker2011 May 16 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A) SS More Physical of the 2 able to play up on the TE if need be. WS Faster more athletic able to put back in 2 Deep Shell #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 May 16 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 ss and ws close to same and athletic. Sam has to plug, Will has to cover ground. FS is best athlete making everyone right! #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG May 16 @ 9:18 PM EDT

WS cans be factor in run game and set edge. FS can break off hash to cover ground. WILB can cover back out. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2: Follow up Q - what is the skill set diff. you look for from SS to WS and S and M ILBers? Are they 2 diff positions/skills? #swarmfbchat

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q2 Cont: Buck LB has to be an athlete that can cover a back out, Flat, or TE at times. Mike - thumper who is a run game issue #swarmfbchat

JRGrayson May 16 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: mike is the plugger. Big, alpha. Wills the runner. #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:14 PM EDT

CodyCaseNoSpace May 16 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: We want Mike to be our better LB in coverage. The Will needs to be are bulldozer, plugging cutback lanes and BS blitzes. #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2)As we move away from Mike we want more cover & speed. M-W-S-B-$ $partan need to be super heady, bandit has the most pressure #swarmfbchat

honeycutt_cody May 16 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@rmacblue A1 sorry. I meant SS WS and FS #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:19 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat Ever have the Mike "run the pipe" as in Tampa 2 coverage? Play a middle third/run through?

In reply to @CodyCaseNoSpace

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Sam needs to be a guy that that can walk up on the LOS. Mac: is an actual DB type Free: needs to be smart for checks #swarmfbchat

CometBacker2011 May 16 @ 9:20 PM EDT

In Perfect World - Great FB IQ additional on field coach, Great Range, Must be able to fill the alley and be a solid tackler #swarmfbchat

In reply to @mchristensenbv, @rmacblue

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat A1) SS, FS, (Name of your mascot) SS to multiple receiver side and (mascot) away. ILBs Mike, Will, Sam

Coach_ZC May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: SS more used as an overhang. WS can be utilized down or on the roof. #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 #swarmfbchat MLB is bigger and plugs. WLB is faster and can lock man-to-man more (on RBs). And get re-routes on WRs. Want outside Ss same

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3: Couple coaches asked - how do you line up to 11 personnel? What about pro twins w/ pistol look? #swarmfbchat

CoachGinn May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A1) We're playing LS, RS, & FS this year, Sam, Mike, & Will LBs #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:07 PM EDT

honeycutt_cody May 16 @ 9:22 PM EDT

#Swarmfbchat

honeycutt_cody May 16 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: SS has to be someone that can play in the box. Sam is our adjuster. Has to be athletic and mike is bigger and has to be a filler!
In reply to @rmacblue

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Mike true MLB to $partan old school FS, the traits scale slides, #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:22 PM EDT

LS=left? RS=right? Never flip? Do you flip DL? #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachGinn

mrdurkinehs May 16 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Mike is more the leader Sam is more the run stopper. SS has to be able to stick his nose in it. FS more of a pass protect #swarmfbchat

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat SS is faster DB (multi rec side)and your (mascot) DB is your bigger OLB that can play on the line if needed for 5 man front.

Coach_ZC May 16 @ 9:24 PM EDT

S more of a plugger, M more of a cover. #swarmfbchat

CoachGinn May 16 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A2: LS/RS Hybrid kids, FS has to be smart, & can run a tackler too, Sam & Mike are bigger LBs Will is the fit guy that can run #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2: Follow up Q - what is the skill set diff. you look for from SS to WS and S and M ILBers? Are they 2 diff positions/skills? #swarmfbchat

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Strength is determined week to week depending on what they do best. Be adaptable enough to take away their best stuff #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Our rule in the box is to play a 6-tech vs TE and have C-gap resp. Our base coverage is split field w/zone to the numbers #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach May 16 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 7/3/2i/5 #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:25 PM EDT

We will ask our Sam to wear a lot of hats. Play both in and out of the box, ILB, OLB, 9 tech, m2m coverage, you name it. #dude #swarmfbchat

CoachRGaskins May 16 @ 9:25 PM EDT

DE to the TE lines up in a 7 tech and overhang player WS/SS apexes #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: SDE is stacked over TE plays C gap SS is force. WS is over the slot FS split the widest WR #swarmfbchat

GaryPendergraft May 16 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@rmacblue A1) SS/WS: Eagle-Will; ILB: Sam & Mike; #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace May 16 @ 9:26 PM EDT

We've played 4 the last couple of years, but was porous in the run game. So we added a Man in the box to stop the run first. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @mchristensenbv

coachjsam May 16 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Joseph Sam DC/LB at Mansfield Legacy #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG May 16 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Was mostly under front with adjustments. depends where TE is @CoachDBasil #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3: Couple coaches asked - how do you line up to 11 personnel? What about pro twins w/ pistol look? #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:27 PM EDT

#SWARMFBCHAT You don't want to flip them because it's long way to run pre-snap? Don't flip corners, either? Thinking about going to this.

In reply to @CoachGinn

CoachGinn May 16 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: 11 personnel treat TE/Flanker side as Pass Strength, Pro twins we'll sky nub & Read Twins, front will play the call #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3: Couple coaches asked - how do you line up to 11 personnel? What about pro twins w/ pistol look? #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3) Love walking the Sam down into a 9, playing an under or 11 front. ILBs in 30s, TGOG by DLine. 2read. #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:28 PM EDT

What does acronym "TGOG" mean? #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CODY_GARDNER

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3) we align in under. 9-5-2-3-5 typically, but we we do a variety of things based on tendencies and RB alignment #swarmfbchat

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:28 PM EDT

When people describe a kid as a "plugger" I think slow. We don't play slow people on defense. #swarmfbchat

CometBacker2011 May 16 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3) DE to TE side is C Gap Player, SS is Force. WS inside of the Slot. Against TE Trips will Drop WS back to 2 High Shell #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Two Gap Open Gap. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @mchristensenbv

thomps_03 May 16 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3 11 pers. 6i, 3, 1, 5. Cover strength is to twin side. WS will play closer to LOS #swarmfbchat

coachjsam May 16 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A2: your best safety should be the weak side safety if you run the 4-2-5 #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4: I mentioned that our base cover was Split Field; What is your base in the 4-2-5? Anyone play Cover 1? #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace May 16 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: 6, 3, 1, 6. Ahem: 5, 3, 2i, 5 for the purists. Sam or Bandit (OLB in 4-4) will step up to TE. #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Jeff Rogers HC Whitewater HS Whitewater, WI. Sorry late to the party. #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 split field #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

We use Field/Boundary & make both safeties know both responsibilities. Helps keep blitz side under wraps. ILBs are Mike & Will #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Q1: About personnel - what do you call your SS/WS/FS players in the secondary? What about your ILBers? #swarmfbchat

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat A3) Over Front to TE, OLB 4x4 to TE and covers out route, ILB Opens to TE and looks for Drag, No drag eyes on RB. Cov 1 or 3.

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat To play the alley? To lock man? To play cutbacks so ILBs can fast flow? Our WS had 6 picks this year, more than other two.

In reply to @coachjsam

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

9-5-1-3-5 jet-deuce-jet-duece-jet If you have an open Gap to inside deuce if not jet. BDSD on base deuce x face, jet get to Q #swarmfbchat

mrdurkinehs May 16 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: we pattern match #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

tknipp9 May 16 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A1: We have called them Free, Sam, & Jake w/ Jake being the the SS type. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Q1: About personnel - what do you call your SS/WS/FS players in the secondary? What about your ILBers? #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG May 16 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4: split field but cover 1 in red zone to match weak side numbers. Match up with pressures. #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4: I mentioned that our base cover was Split Field; What is your base in the 4-2-5? Anyone play Cover 1? #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara May 16 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A1) p1: We use Field/Boundary & make both safeties know both responsibilities. It helps keep blitz side under wraps pre-snap #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:33 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat A4 We play cover 1 and 0 a lot (personnel-based). Had DL that could get heat on their own. What does "Split Field" mean?

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A1) Pattern match, will play cover 1, into boundary which I feel is actually man-2. So yes, but no. #swarmfbchat

CoachGinn May 16 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: we are split field out of Odd Stack Front, few tweaks to 4-2 stuff, but same concepts #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4: I mentioned that our base cover was Split Field; What is your base in the 4-2-5? Anyone play Cover 1? #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace May 16 @ 9:33 PM EDT

We do, but not from the 4-2-5. In situations where we think we can play man and stop the run, from 21 usually. #swarmfbchat

honeycutt_cody May 16 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: quarters coverage! We split field sometimes. #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: we're gonna be 75% pattern match cov3. We can get frisky if the personnel will allow us #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara May 16 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A1) p2: ILBs are Mike & Will in base #swarmfbchat

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat A4) I run a base 3-3-5 and bring a ILB down to give a 4 man front (4-2-5). Cov 3 is base but I can run Cov 1, and 2 Sky.

tknipp9 May 16 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A2: Yes, we look for different skill sets. SS is a true DB, WS is a hybrid guy who can play on LOS. M & S are interchangeable #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2: Follow up Q - what is the skill set diff. you look for from SS to WS and S and M ILBers? Are they 2 diff positions/skills? #swarmfbchat

coachjsam May 16 @ 9:35 PM EDT

You want to make him the free player for run and pass #swarmfbchat

In reply to @mchristensenbv

CometBacker2011 May 16 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4) Play Several Coverages. Many Factors Personnel, Formations, D&D. Cover 3, Cover 1 and our Quarters Scheme #Swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:37 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat Never 2Read? Any Tampa 2 with ILB run through? Pattern-match or landmarks? I'm narrowing my options/decisions.

In reply to @CometBacker2011

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4) primarily Cover 3 and Man. We send pressure with C0 to cut down on coverage times. Do run 2, Quarters, and Split coverages #swarmfbchat

tknipp9 May 16 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A3: Slide the front to the TE and call the coverage to the Twins. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3: Couple coaches asked - how do you line up to 11 personnel? What about pro twins w/ pistol look? #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:38 PM EDT

giveawaysuvo May 16 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4) primarily Cover 3 and Man. We send pressure with C0 to cut down on coverage times. Do run 2, Quarters, and Split coverages #swarmfbchat

coachjsam May 16 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: believe whatever you major in should fit personnel and be able to stop what you see consistently. #swarmfbchat

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5) As an option coach my soul will not allow me to answer this, but ill be actively listening 😂#swarmfbchat

tknipp9 May 16 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: We have played 0, 2 & 3. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4: I mentioned that our base cover was Split Field; What is your base in the 4-2-5? Anyone play Cover 1? #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers May 16 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5) Depends on what you want to stop and who you want to stop QB or FB. #swarmfbchat

coachjsam May 16 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5: however you line up, better have someone for dive, QB and pitch #swarmfbchat

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5: we try to stay as balanced as possible (which is hard because we're odd front) then pick our poison. #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach May 16 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 we play lose 5/3/2i/5 #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5 #swarmfbchat This is where I love the 4-2. It can be a packed-in defense quickly against Flexbone-like/type formations. Ss gotta toughen

CoachCurran42 May 16 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: I'm all about C1 #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4) 4-3, with double 1 techs. #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG May 16 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: same way play it in everything else a/b gap has dive c/d QB box has pitch play gap exchange rules #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Q5: A coach wants to know how you align/play vs Flexbone in the 4-2-5? #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:42 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat Because you have a dude who can play the post vs pass and alleys vs run? Any Cover 0? You send 5 a lot in C1?

In reply to @CoachCurran42

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: we teach Force, Fill, Scrape, & Alley so it's not as much dive, QB, pitch. #swarmfbchat

CodyCaseNoSpace May 16 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Just realized that this chat was a solely 4-2-5 chat, while I'm blabbing away about the 4-4. #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 May 16 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5 we would probably work down to a 6-2 with our ws/ss and play man with peel responsibilities for ss/ws #swarmfbchat

tknipp9 May 16 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: I defer to this answer! #swarmfbchat

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5) As an option coach my soul will not allow me to answer this, but ill be actively listening 😂#swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Q6: Who do you have your ILBers reading? Do you utilize a Field DE & Boundary DE? If so, how are they different? #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Nah, I have been talking 4-3. Even front defense, 425 doesn't mean 2 high, should but doesn't guarantee #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CodyCaseNoSpace

CoachDiG May 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: G to Near Back both are same but stay field and boundary #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Q6: Who do you have your ILBers reading? Do you utilize a Field DE & Boundary DE? If so, how are they different? #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6)Cross read to surface. End goes too the call, Rush away. #swarmfbchat

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A:6 ILBs read The barrel guards to back. Strong side DE is a true DE. WkDE is a faster DT we flip to strength. #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 #swarmfbchat have $tud DE who is bigger & can whip TEs. The End plays the open side and is smaller, quicker Call str to TE not hash/bound

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6) Guards -.key orientated throughout the entire D.. Stong/Weak DEs.. same kid always plays to the TE. Their keys never change.#swarmfbchat

thomps_03 May 16 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 read guards most, we will move DEs with strength at times but haven't done f/b. Have a call in the toolbox through 😁 #swarmfbchat

CoachAmara May 16 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A3) If it's any form of trips we'll roll S down because we'll probably be in C3. Otherwise shift front or walk OLB down to TE. #swarmfbchat

honeycutt_cody May 16 @ 9:48 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat

honeycutt_cody May 16 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5: play a 5-2 lol. 9-5-3-1-5
In reply to @rmacblue

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:48 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat Agree. I like same kid vs TE all the time. Offenses would run at my smaller DE if I left him vs TE a lot. 3 tech & 2I not same

In reply to @CoachBrentWhite

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT

With our TGOG, we will have some Gap exchange, LBs must understand read key to open/closed windows. In theory LBs have no gaps #swarmfbchat

A6) Our Anchor (SDE) Always goes to TE he is Bigger Physical DE, Our Rush goes away he is morepass rusher #Swarmfbchat

CoachGinn May 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: we key Guards with LBs, a few times vs Pistol teams keyed QB open vs Pistol Teams #Swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Q6: Who do you have your ILBers reading? Do you utilize a Field DE & Boundary DE? If so, how are they different? #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Q7: How do you like to cover Trips and/or Tre looks? #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers May 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6) ILB key midpoint of guard and bc under center. Midpoint of guard and mesh vs gun/pistol. See both better if key midpoint. #swarmfbchat

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:50 PM EDT

#Swarmfbchat A5) Base Alignment:Tackles 1s Ends 5s OLB 9s (1 yd off) Corners 7x1 on wings, Mike and Will at 30 Tech, FS 10 Apex wings.

Change front due to strength. Read gaps/guards.

Press everywhere! #SWARMFBCHAT Make them lob up fades. Press the RB as much as possible too? Peel DEs / edge rushers off vs. flare?

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7) Apex Sam between 2&3. Trey, will need to know why, but again, I'd love to get Sam in a 9. Maybe play pattern match robber. #swarmfbchat

CometBacker2011 May 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT

If your DE's play sides how do you handle teams that then Trade the TE to the other side? #Swarmfbchat

CoachGinn May 16 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: multiple ways to, will gameplan based on why they are in trips/trey #Swarmfbchat

Q7: How do you like to cover Trips and/or Tre looks? #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@CoachCurran42 #swarmfbchat Do you disguise the heat and all press until very late?

coachjsam May 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7: we will play what takes away what they do #swarmfbchat

CoachBrentWhite May 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7) Bump SS over 2 and FS over 3. SS inside of 3 and bring the WS over and play over 2. Stops trips strong sprint game #swarmfbchat

thomps_03 May 16 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7 slide ss out work cover 2 scheme. Trey keep ss in and work pattern match scheme #swarmfbchat

CoachCurran42 May 16 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Sometimes. It'll depend. I show 2 high most of the time. Will roll late. Other times I just line up and go. #SWARMFBCHAT

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:54 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat I teach weakside DE to prep for that. The 3tech swaps with 1tech, but DEs don't flip. I've made Off do what they don't want to

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:54 PM EDT

#Swarmfbchat A6) ILBs read guards unless its a poorly coached o-line then read will change to RB (Cross Read). Bad O-lines give bad reads.

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Coaches, don't be afraid to contact those coaches who can help give you more detailed answers. #swarmfbchat

tknipp9 May 16 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7: Depends, we carry two checks into a game, we play coverage or we bring pressure #swarmfbchat

Q7: How do you like to cover Trips and/or Tre looks? #swarmfbchat

CometBacker2011 May 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7) Pattern Matching out of 2 Shell Look vs Trips or Trey. #Swarmfbchat

coachtanis May 16 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6) Keys often will change based on game plan. Gun vs Under center plays a big role. DE alignment can change each yr.. #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat A7 I love to lock up man on the backside, but teams always put their STRAIGHT DUDE WR back there these days! So, have to mix up

CoachAmara May 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A7) I already answered this because I'm a loud mouth but I'd love to hear from coaches who don't play C3 vs trips! #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER May 16 @ 9:57 PM EDT

TGOG video, LB fits there too https://t.co/WQMIpUlCxD #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator May 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

As always, thanks for participating. It never works if it's just me on here typing questions! #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat Cover 3 gets torched around here out of Trio. They run bender by 3 back to solo side and get him open vs. 1/4,1/4, 1/2 & true 3

In reply to @CoachAmara

coachSKYNYRD May 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A7: I signal in 2 coverages the 1st for a balanced form. 2nd for trips or empty. FS picks #swarmfbchat

elbigfred May 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

#Swarmfbchat A7) Cover 3 with ILBs help. Blitz Trip side if QB likes to roll. Blitz 1 rec side if pocket passer. I like to send pressure.

yak1373 May 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

#Swarmfbchat A7) man #1 to trips, align SS outside leverage #2 with bracket coverage from Free inside #3. Cloud or sky weak. Play underfront

coachtanis May 16 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A7) We play our 1/4s. We will blitz it like any other formation. We also have common RPO adjustments. RB alignment is key. #swarmfbchat

mchristensenbv May 16 @ 9:59 PM EDT

#swarmfbchat What does TGOG mean? Will see video too. Thanks.
