Q1: In general, what do you allow your ILBers to do vs the run when not blitzing? Let 'em move free, sit in gap, read OL/RB? #swarmfbchat

thejwfoster3 Mar 28 @ 9:08 PM EDT

John Foster OC Smith Co High Carthage TN #swarmfbchat

CoachCurran42 Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Depends on the player. Most, read flow and go when you know! #swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 gap sound, flow to ball. Read guard to backfield and flow. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:08 PM EDT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: To me, I'd love to have them move freely and key OL; gaps will move; more mature guys do it best #swarmfbchat

CoachJoshHadden Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Josh Hadden. RB Coach @ Silver Bluff High School in Aiken County, SC. #swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 have gap responsiblity have to stay gap sound but also be able to run and make plays #swarmfbchat

CoachTWill22 Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Eye discipline is key. They have an alignment, assignment, and key. But so much is instinct after the read. #swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: ILB's read guards. Short answer lol #SwarmFbChat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:08 PM EDT

CarsonRileyDad Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1) align on outside half of their gap, read their keys (usually Gs), LBs should move on a "string" towards play #swarmfbchat

brgredd Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 read the triangle of the guards and RB. Set rules allow ILB to flow where they need to be guard blocks down come up etc...#swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: In base we will have them see the 2 OL in their gap & back flow. React on what you see. #swarmfbchat

Skillutt28 Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1. Read their key, and fit the open grass to make play. Stay aggressive. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

I mean - I don't like my ILBers to be statues and just sit in front of the same OL each snap (or same gaps) #swarmfbchat

rebel4461 Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

We read and shuffle fit the gap once rb commits #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 heels at 5, eyes thru guard, 3 flows (vertical, angle, fast) #swarmfbchat

NickyT4098 Mar 28 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: LBs must key step, read their key and flow downhill hard. Must have an inside out pursuit angle. See ball = get ball! #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: read RBs and react #SwarmFbChat

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1 - agree w/ eye discipline. Read through the triangle. #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1) We talk about reading the guard to near back triangle and filling windows. Closed window scrape, open window fill #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Nate Tanner HC at Summers Co HS (Hinton,WV).. late to the show tonight #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Align and read key guard to near back. Try to play as fast a possible control c to c #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1- also, fill an open window to their gap/flow side. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Yes - must have that great instinct with super vision; those EDDs of reading OL make you that much quicker to ball #swarmfbchat

rebel4461 Mar 28 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Backside slow read to take away cutback #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Cody Gardner Park City, UT #swarmfbchat

zachdavis24 Mar 28 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1) Triangle Read.. and we teach open / closed door #SwarmFbChat

PigSkinCoach Mar 28 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1 cont as far as pre snap know gap resp, older more exp guys bluff pre snap #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1) Read, 1000mph right or wrong play what you see!!!! #swarmfbchat

Z_QUEZ Mar 28 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: ILB read G to RB, fill gap window, if closed scrap to flow. Must be aggressive downhill players! #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Q1: In general, what do you allow your ILBers to do vs the run when not blitzing? Let 'em move free, sit in gap, read OL/RB? #swarmfbchat

kevinsteinfb Mar 28 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: We are really changing up what we do defensively but Invision letting ILB's have lateral alignment freedom, then read G's. #swarmfbchat

_coachgibbslv Mar 28 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@rmacblue how concerned are you with your DT redirecting OG on inside release? Or should your ILB be athletic enough to avoid? #swarmfbchat

In reply to @rmacblue

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: From a fellow coach: In a 3-4, would you allow your 6-tech/OLB to cross the face of a TE vs 21 personnel vs run? #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Mar 28 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1 read the triangle and flow!!! #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1:cont. playside ISB is taught to attack the outside shoulder of lead blocker (iso/wrap) backside "vices" #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: that depends on what next down lineman is doing and are they designated rusher #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: From a fellow coach: In a 3-4, would you allow your 6-tech/OLB to cross the face of a TE vs 21 personnel vs run? #swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Mar 28 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2 to trade hats if ball crosses the zero barrier, yes. Otherwise no. Squeeze TE to close gap. Make the play bounce somewhere. #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: From a fellow coach: In a 3-4, would you allow your 6-tech/OLB to cross the face of a TE vs 21 personnel vs run? #swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 only if i was running a stunt and had an outside or force defender #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2) We would not have our OLB cross the face. Our OLB is usually a spill player so getting washed down inside would burn us #SwarmFbChat

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2) When I coached in a 3-4, the safeties made the OLBs right. If the OLB is on the line, S should be alerted to being force #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Q2 - sure, as long as we are gap sound, especially outside in D gap. Would only have a 6 if DE had reduced tho. Can be done. #swarmfbchat

zachdavis24 Mar 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2) we have used a "break" technique: if you get face, cross his face,if you get butt, look to spill / tackle dive,pass = COP #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: depends if he is a contain player or a spiller.. contain- NO; spiller- attack #swarmfbchat

_coachgibbslv Mar 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2:If he's shown to be instinctive, give him a two-way go. He can always fall back inside and maintain C-gap integrity. #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Mar 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 safeties are the plus one to make the dl correct #swarmfbchat

coachstone605 Mar 28 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Ryan Stone, Jack Britt HS NC. D Line coach #swarmfbchat

most odd front guys are you a base cov 4? #swarmfbchat

rebel4461 Mar 28 @ 9:21 PM EDT

We also put it on the safety to make the olb right #swarmfbchat

CoachSimard Mar 28 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Bob Simard O Line and Tech Integration, Sutter HS, CA #Swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:22 PM EDT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Esp in 4-2-5, got to count on those OLBer-type guys to make plays right in run game - they are your +1 so many times. #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:22 PM EDT

if zone, yes. Try to stay split safety look regardless. Roll or creep late. #SwarmFbChat

In reply to @CoachRmcD60

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@rmacblue we are a base cover 3. Start in a 2 high shell and rotate to fill for rushers. We do run some cox 4 #swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachRmcD60, @rmacblue

@rmacblue usually give something to get something. Have ability to mix supports by having overhang to each side #SWARMFBCHAT

In reply to @CoachRmcD60, @rmacblue

A1: I'd prefer they std still so my dudes can block them - BUT Strg rd step & particularly hard scrapers keep me up Thur nights #Swarmfbchat

Q3: Vs the Run - Spill or Squeeze and WHY? Same dudes each time or can mult players spill/squeeze? #swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Mar 28 @ 9:28 PM EDT

The point where the RB is committed going through a gap - no cutback possible. #swarmfbchat

freezysmalls Mar 28 @ 9:23 PM EDT

zero barrier?
In reply to @CoachMHochard

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:28 PM EDT

yes we rush at least 4 every play. We would rather be the attacker vs the attacked #Swarmfbchat

In reply to @CoachRmcD60, @rmacblue

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3) 3-4 OLB & S can switch. 4-2 same unless WS is playing center seam or deep of 3. Willy will become force. #swarmfbchat

rebel4461 Mar 28 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Spill to the force player set a hard edge and run like hell to the ball #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: We will spill all plays - typically with our 5-techs; I think squeezing keeps your feet still at ILBer. #swarmfbchat

zachdavis24 Mar 28 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3) have done both.Depends on the structure of your defense and your personnel. I have a bunch of cutups of us doing both. #swarmfbchat

CoachCurran42 Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: always been a box guy until this past season. Love spilling and will never go back. Make them go east/west #swarmfbchat

NickyT4098 Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: We have our DEs spill.Our defense is predicated on making the ball bounce. Want to see it going east/west than north/south #SWARMFBCHAT

Coach__French Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A2: you can cross face if you are gap-sound. Don't cross face unless someone is overtaking that leverage responsibility. #SWARMFBCHAT

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: DE's spill and OLB's squeeze. #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q3: Vs the Run - Spill or Squeeze and WHY? Same dudes each time or can mult players spill/squeeze? #swarmfbchat

Coach_ZC Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3: Try to have dudes do the same thing so it takes the thinking out. Do have situations where their responsibility does change #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3-1 rule,be the hammer,not the nail.Don't get kicked out,but don't get quick logged either.Cause early RB reaction for pursuit.#swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3 kids need to know both. There are places for both. NFL coach told me if you can hit a guy in the backfield it doesn't matter #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q3: Vs the Run - Spill or Squeeze and WHY? Same dudes each time or can mult players spill/squeeze? #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

We squeeze A-gap traps; spill anything wider; I think you can still get blocked easier if you squeeze long traps. #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3) We spill all plays. Would rather make them run east/west instead of north/south #SWARMFBCHAT

freezysmalls Mar 28 @ 9:30 PM EDT

For Q2what do you guys think? #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: off tackle plays 4 man front spill. Immediate to backer/safety. Have to account for offset leverage #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q3: Vs the Run - Spill or Squeeze and WHY? Same dudes each time or can mult players spill/squeeze? #swarmfbchat

CarsonRileyDad Mar 28 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: Always want to spill to force this lets ILBs and Safeties run free #swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 28 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Spill use Sideline as your friend #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Mar 28 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3: spill spill spill spill spill spill spill box (just kidding) spill #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: off tackle plays 3 man front - designated rusher spill/dropper box. Tie it into perimeter support. #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q3: Vs the Run - Spill or Squeeze and WHY? Same dudes each time or can mult players spill/squeeze? #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Mar 28 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: box anything in the Agap obviously #swarmfbchat

Coach_JRogers Mar 28 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3) Depends on what we are doing if spill and box. #swarmfbchat

_coachgibbslv Mar 28 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3:7 & 5 r gonna squeeze if they get ⬇ block, 👀 inside looking for nxt threat OG/FB and get ready to wrong shoulder that thang! #swarmfbchat

Jeff Rogers Late to the party. Spring Break #swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:34 PM EDT

kevinsteinfb Mar 28 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: Spill everything in the box. Nothing worse than a team running it down your throat. W/S Safety must squeeze the alley. #swarmfbchat 🚣

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Any body use the "umbrella" for Force/Spill explanation ??? #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachCurran42 Mar 28 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A2: Only if I were running Corner force and having safety roll... #SWARMFBCHAT

Skillutt28 Mar 28 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A3. DE spills vs pullers. OLBs set the edge. ILBs run to the ball. Get the ball carrier going sideways to the sideline. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q3: Spill with a purpose! #SWARMFBCHAT

All of a sudden, I'm struggling to keep up - you coaches are making me work tonight! #swarmfbchat

coach_hughes91 Mar 28 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A3) I prefer to spill. If pursued correctly the back can't turn up and the cutback is eliminated. Let the sideline tackle him. #SWARMFBCHAT

freezysmalls Mar 28 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A3 not to sure yet.... gonna be the first year to experience a preference for me #SWARMFBCHAT

zachdavis24 Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4) we are undersized, so we are at our best when we are moving. High risk, high reward #swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 have to move and stunt to keep Offenses guessing i think you have to drill drill the movement to help keep gap integrity #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4) We do a lot of gap exchanges with our OLBs and DEs, especially on backside. Wrecks the backside of zone. #swarmfbchat

Coach__French Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: love run stunts They have a time and a place. If you are controlling the LOS there isn't really a need... kids LOVE THEM. #swarmfbchat

CoachCurran42 Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: YES!! But have to be careful & use based on gameplan. A strong stunt to a power run will put your DT in the hole b4 the RB! #SWARMFBCHAT

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: I think they have their place but in an obvious run down, Id rather play it straight up. MAYBE a slant or a pinch? #SWARMFBCHAT

NickyT4098 Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: Depends on run scheme we're seeing. Wing T it's not a bad idea because they hate penetration. Must stunt with a purpose #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: Personally, I enjoy stunts vs run; we've been successful with them. ILBers need to keep vision keys/reads true. #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Mar 28 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 our lb rules if stressed acct for 90% of our run stunts #SWARMFBCHAT

Coach_ZC Mar 28 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: Yes, just have to make sure LB understands what's going on in front of him. #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:41 PM EDT

4-3 #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachCurran42 Mar 28 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 cont: LB's need to make DL right!! If they do that, you won't be wrong. #swarmfbchat

Skillutt28 Mar 28 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4. Most def YES!! DL hits their gap. LBs fit opposite of the guy in front of them. Keep my DL moving to keep OL wondering. #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4: Absolutely make them account and protect. No 2 gap movements must train DL to convert and not be off. Backers make right #SWARMFBCHAT

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Q4:Run Stunts - YES or NO? Like to run DL stunts vs the run? Any issues with gap integrity? #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4) TGOG, 2 gap Open Gap. no real need, our rules create movement. #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4- heck yes, gap exchange vs any qb read helps slow them down. Also allows us to utilize quickness advantage over OL. #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4) Did a write up about this for xandolabs https://t.co/nj4q9eYEM3 Had good success twisting backside of runs. #swarmfbchat

_coachgibbslv Mar 28 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4:YES. May not be able to get same mvmnt w/ 2s, so stunts are a go. Also may want to put pressure on the midline for example. #swarmfbchat

rebel4461 Mar 28 @ 9:43 PM EDT

All stunts for us are run stunts pass rush once you know lbs shuffle and fit so they can adjust their gap responsibilities #swarmfbchat

Q5: How about ILB run blitzing...use it? Like it? Is this tendency driven? #swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Mar 28 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A5 tendency driven. We used it to create a lot of negative plays. Tendency based. used to change momentum. Sent our best player #swarmfbchat

A4 Middle stunts not as much a bother to me as twists, bring OLB inside w/a good edge DE outside. Can be very effective #Swarmfbchat

CoachRmcD60 Mar 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5 i think it is 2 fold tendency driven and if you are getting gashed up front gets a hard run fill #swarmfbchat

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5-tendencied. Especially vs flexbone(cheating) which we see a couple of times per year.have to gamble wisely though.#swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5: THIS I like so much more than stunts. Like on 4th and 1, get those dudes downhill NOW. More caps, so i clearly like it. #SWARMFBCHAT

Q5: How about ILB run blitzing...use it? Like it? Is this tendency driven? #swarmfbchat

NickyT4098 Mar 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5: We have one MLB stunt that I'm a big fan of vs the run. Can't make a living on it though.Have to call it at the right time #swarmfbchat

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5) Yes, we had a big physical tackler who had bad 👀 so we sent him a lot according to tendencies. #swarmfbchat

CODY_GARDNER Mar 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A5) Love to, but never had a kid who cashes it in at a high enough rate. A lot of good calls get spoiled, so I'd love to but... #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q5: Use it and like it. Mostly vs spread with dual threats. Determine who you want to have the ball #SWARMFBCHAT

Coach_JRogers Mar 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A5) Like it lot can mess with zone blocking plus can get some nice run throughs. #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A3: we run the 46 bear, we squeeze everything back to the middle... ilbs and interior d line blow it up #swarmfbchat

PigSkinCoach Mar 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A5 we call them forced run fits, have to stay gap sound and work as part of edd #SWARMFBCHAT

Skillutt28 Mar 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A5. Blitz 1-2 of our Stack LBs every down, most times. But it is tendency driven & with a purpose. Kids love it & play faster. #swarmfbchat

Z_QUEZ Mar 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4:if our base is getting torched we must be able to use stunts. LBs must keep gap integrity & not run themselves out of play. #swarmfbchat

coach_hughes91 Mar 28 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5)I like to blitz B gap if we think the guard is pulling. We expect our LB to be too fast through the gap for center to block #SWARMFBCHAT

CarsonRileyDad Mar 28 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5) high risk high reward. Prefer to do on a first down situation to put offense into long yardage downs. #swarmfbchat

Q6: Quick Bonus Q... Stemming vs Run teams...Yes or No? Snap count flexibility an issue? #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A4: yes, but must rep lb fits on run stunts... like to tailor stunts towards tendencies (formation, down/distance) #swarmfbchat

_coachgibbslv Mar 28 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5:yes, tendency driven. #swarmfbchat

CoachMHochard Mar 28 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6 never done it. I've seen it@userd effectively. #SWARMFBCHAT

A5 cont: I'm partial to these because I had a freak kid that could do it for two years. This is him as frosh vs NWMS last yr. #SWARMFBCHAT

@CODY_GARDNER makes explaining spill/force 10x easier. #SWARMFBCHAT

A5: Think you have to have it, got to be creative to get O to 3rd & L. #swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5 Cont: I also know he reads along so I'm giving him a little pat on the back for creeping on the #SWARMFBCHAT

CoachATerrell Mar 28 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6-totally depends on cadence tendency but prefer not to stem. Slant to mess w/ OL assignments instead. #swarmfbchat

CoachDiG Mar 28 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: Agree but carefully. Don't want to get out leveraged so the @CoachOsovet RPO guys start trying to outleverage you. #SWARMFBCHAT

Q6: Coming from an Offensive guy, small/short DL Stemming is tough on HS OL and gives DL the upper hand. #swarmfbchat

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A5: we pair LB blitzes w our run stunts if we want more at the point of attack.. base a lot off tendencies #swarmfbchat

JRGrayson Mar 28 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: BETTER know that snap count, and BETTER not get caught. Love a little stem, but it should be practiced and done precisely #SWARMFBCHAT

tsbulldawgs64 Mar 28 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6) We stemmed to teams that hit LOS fast. Since we slant we can stem to our gap right before the snap so we don't get cut off #SWARMFBCHAT

Mr_Tanner23 Mar 28 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Q6: we stem often vs double wing/wing t teams that use a lot of motion #swarmfbchat

rebel4461 Mar 28 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Like to seem vs veer midline teams but better know the cadence so as not to get caught #swarmfbchat

rmacblue - Moderator Mar 28 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Coaches - really nice chat tonight - I was worried about the topic, but your tweets were darn good! Always a pleasure to host #swarmfbchat

Skillutt28 Mar 28 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6. Haven't stemmed much in past. Will move LBs around to give "smoke & mirrors" appearance before snap. #swarmfbchat
