    We set off any O tendency first. If neutral we will set off of to/away RB, Field, or QB throwing hand. Will bump LBs. #425chat

  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 19 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1. DL - 5/3/2i/5. LBs at 50 on 5/2i side and 30 on 5/3 side. #425chat
  • CODY_GARDNER Jan 19 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1) 4-3 Over front. #425chat
  • coachdboucher Jan 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    5,3,1,5 away from RB and 30 LBs, Vs 3x1 we pull the rope and adjust 1 man plus with LBs. Vs pistol set strength to Field or scout #425chat

  • Coach_ZC Jan 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: prefer to have a 3 & 2i, since we do move LB's it makes the A Gap read cleaner and gives us better numbers in pass game. #425chat
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1 Game Plan 1st, TB 2nd, Field 3rd, QB Arm 4th...LBs stay true 90% of time #425chat
  • CoachBFri29 Jan 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1: Dpnds on gmeplan 4 wk, normally call the strength away from back. Our Buc lines up on # 2 widen weak bcker to play any nside rt #425chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1) we will move our 2 interior constantly...Toro/Aim, we also will shift presnap from time to time to back the O 5yds #425chat
  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    #425chat A1 like to adjust the front to the shade nose either opp. TB or QB depending on. Who is biggest threat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1: 3/5 set to RB side or away from trips. #425chat
  • coachmolzen Jan 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A1) we line up with 2Is and 5s on DL. Backers will be in B gap vs 2x2, vs 3x1- strength "pulls" our backers over a gap #425chat
  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    #425chat Scott Reid DL tomball TX.
  • CoachByrd_ Jan 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A1 Try to keep 6 in the box at all times we want to stop the run usually play 3 & 2i LB'S in 30's #425chat
  • CoachJoshHadden Jan 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A1: 35-15, LBs gap over #425chat

    I see a lot of 2i adjustments. Why 2i over a 1 or shade?#425chat

    In reply to @brrobinson208
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:19 PM EST
    Q2: With your nose or weak tackle, do you have a nose shade on center or a 1 tech? Why? #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Great so far! Q2 is up! #425chat
  • CoachM_Hancock Jan 19 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A1 - we're 5,3,1,5 with strength away from RB, but we will play double 2's. We stem our DT's too. #425chat
  • brrobinson208 Jan 19 @ 9:20 PM EST
    1 leads to a ton of double teams from guard and center. 2i gives our man a good chance to get a 1v1 #425chat
    In reply to @Zach_Turner1
  • Coach_ZC Jan 19 @ 9:20 PM EST
    I believe it depends on your LB Alignments. If you have a LB's adjust you can make the center wrong with a 2i. #425chat
    In reply to @Zach_Turner1
  • coachjsam Jan 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A1: strength depends on what they like to do. Play over front #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    We will play head up 2's in base and hop in some over/under stuff with a G/2i or a nose/shade depending on front call #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachM_Hancock Jan 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2 - we mix up our shade nose or 1 tech. My DL coach will change it up based on tendency or weaker OL #425chat
  • coachcoker02 Jan 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    A2: I prefer 2i. It prevents the guard from a free release on the LBs. #425chat
  • CoachAltmanWM Jan 19 @ 9:23 PM EST
    @Def425chat Rob Altman DL West Memphis AR #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • brgredd Jan 19 @ 9:23 PM EST
    No 1 tech is perfect angle for a scoop block to the LB. 2i allows for more 1 on 1 battles #425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 19 @ 9:23 PM EST
    A2: we can do both but prefer the 2i because of the isolation with G usually, not as many double teams. We can tag it to mix it up #425chat
  • brrobinson208 Jan 19 @ 9:23 PM EST
    that too! I only speak for dline and our alignment #425chat

    • freezysmalls Jan 19 @ 9:23 PM EST
      A1 our dc likes this for us...like getting buck over number 2#425chat
  • Zach_Turner1 Jan 19 @ 9:24 PM EST
    what do you mean by center wrong? In a gal scheme or zone scheme? #425chat
    In reply to @Coach_ZC
  • CoachFetty Jan 19 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A2) we use both.. we use the shade to pressure the center. #425chat
  • CoachAltmanWM Jan 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    @Def425chat a1: depends. Usually 5-3-1-5 with 3 away from rb #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A2) We do both. I like giving the OL a lot of different looks to mess with rules! #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    my bad. Trying to multi task. Meant nose shade and a 2i.... #425chat
    In reply to @CoachSReid
  • coachjsam Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2: we will mix it up based off what the offense wants to do #425chat
  • brrobinson208 Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2 try to avoid the 1 and stick with 2i just to avoid doubles and give our man best chance at holding his gap #425chat
  • freezysmalls Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2 I personally do so hopefully he can get dbl in A, and stunts later with delayed blitz looks sweet😍 #425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    2i lends itself to line movement. Versus spread (which is predominant in TX) you have to change the "B" gap & the cover downs. #425chat
  • coachdboucher Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2) shade, hard for guard to reach backside so center stick, rep fast hands/ proper placement so he can beat playside and get dbl #425chat
  • Coach_ZC Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A2: we will mix it up, depends on who we're facing, have done some "tilt" tech where our N attacks the centers snapping hand/arm. #425chat
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    We play 2i. Feel we can move more from that and create what we want for LBs to be successful #425chat
  • CoachAltmanWM Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    @Def425chat a2: i like a shaded nose if i think the center is weak #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:27 PM EST
    #425chat A2 I just like beating up in the guy snapping the football, wear him out and get bad snaps!
  • Coach_JGill Jan 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    @Def425chat Like that. Think it keeps WLB a little cleaner as well. #425chat
    In reply to @freezysmalls, @Def425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    Late to the party: Cody Alexander Author https://t.co/dmSOP6hmqQ CBs Coach @ Lovejoy HS (TX) #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    Great stuff! Q3 in 2 minutes! #425chat
  • coachmolzen Jan 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A2) we use a 2I on guard. In base scheme we hope to force ball to B gap. Also limits angles on down blocks by OGs #425chat
  • LHorrocks44 Jan 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    Logan Horrocks, Linebackers, Jerome High School, ID. A1) 2x2 my backers don't shift - keep 6 in the box to stop the run. #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    Q3: What do your LBs read? Flow RB? Center and Guard? Guard and tackle? And how do you rep these keys? #425chat
  • CoachM_Hancock Jan 19 @ 9:30 PM EST
    How do you like the tilt NG? We've thought about doing it some. #425chat
    In reply to @Coach_ZC
  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:30 PM EST
    #425chat A3 versus 3x1, gap up and read guards and fill gap on run read, 2x2, guards to RB flow
  • CoachFetty Jan 19 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3) near guard to Flow simple trianlge drill.. 3 line 2 lbs 1 rb #425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 19 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A1: Here is how I line up to dbls. Str call is to the field to allow a cover down and to discourage RPOs. #425chat
  • coachmolzen Jan 19 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3) Backers read screws of OL helmet aligned over. OL to back. Against wing t teams ILB always key guards (we are wing t too) #425chat
  • brgredd Jan 19 @ 9:31 PM EST
    As long as refs aren't calling illegal man downfield on RPO's 6 yds downfield we've switched from reading guards to more of RB flow #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 19 @ 9:31 PM EST
    Ourswill mirror path of RB w/ 👀 progressing to OL for run scheme. Again, if we have a heavy tendency, we'll read that. #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat
  • CoachBFri29 Jan 19 @ 9:32 PM EST
    Q3: Our guys are taught to read guards and tackles. c a open gap go clse it & find ball. rep thru team, looking for mre ideas also #425chat
  • CoachByrd_ Jan 19 @ 9:32 PM EST
    A2 play a shade to two back sets and a 2i to one back sets #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:33 PM EST
    #425chat
    In reply to @freezysmalls, @Coach_JGill
  • coachjsam Jan 19 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3: we make the reads as simple as possible so our players play as fast as possible. Depends on the week. #425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 19 @ 9:33 PM EST
    A3: OL that they align over. OL gives clearer picture than keying RB. OL only does so much in terms of blocking so easy to read. #425chat
  • CoachByrd_ Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A3 linebackers read guard to flow simple rules....guard pull= follow.... no pull= read near back flow #425chat
  • coachcoker02 Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A3: LBs read the scheme to flow. We spend 10 minutes a day on reads and fits then tie it together in run fit period w/ DL #425chat
  • coachjsam Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A3: have to read the guys that can't lie #425chat
  • Coach_ZC Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST
    I think about it as a combo btwn the M and N. C works to N easy fill for M. C works away N is able to occupy both A's #425chat
    In reply to @Zach_Turner1
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST
    A3 we read guards to flow. Will play RAT on 21 personel teams. Have cross read BF as gamelan before #425chat
  • freezysmalls Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST
    A3 LBs are reading G feet to backfield. Our hybrid player is reading end man to backfield #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST
    We'll run "Torch". Both T's in A, whoever C steps to wraps while opposit T continues to penetrate. #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat, @freezysmalls
  • coachmolzen Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST
    We have discussed how we should line up against 2TE sets. Our base was even (2Is, 5s and 2 9s) but looking at alternatives. Ideas? #425chat
  • Coach_ZC Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST
    love it, used it one week vs a C that had shakey snaps on film. Obviously takes a ton of reps to get good at it. #425chat
    In reply to @CoachM_Hancock
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 19 @ 9:36 PM EST
    A3) Guard to Back. DRILL: We use the trashcans for T,T,C...use live guards and RB. Rep pulls, zones, pass...match path/pace of RB #425chat
  • freezysmalls Jan 19 @ 9:36 PM EST
    I hear some LBs are keying backfield flow or just the Fullback? Thoughts? I'm interested in knowing the reason behind this #425chat
  • Def425chat - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:36 PM EST
    Q4: Is your end a spill player or a contain player? Why? #425chat

    #425chat
    In reply to @CoachSReid, @Coach_JGill, @freezysmalls
  • LHorrocks44 Jan 19 @ 9:37 PM EST
    A3) triangle read = guard to guard to RB. Read high hat, base block (gap reps.), down block, or pull and go hard to flow. #425chat
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A3 cont we will work reading single OL to double to back 7 run fits in funnel drill against both guards working scheme #425chat
  • coachmolzen Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST
    A3 cont) The OL usually doesn't lie & can only do 4 things- pass set, pull, down block, some time of own block (zone,reach,fire) #425chat
  • CoachAltmanWM Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST
    @Def425chat q4: our end is a spill player because my boss told me thats what he is. Thats all the reason i needed ha ha #425chat
    In reply to @Def425chat

  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:39 PM EST
    #425chat A4 spill on both sides, allows them to play fast whenever possible
  • CoachFetty Jan 19 @ 9:39 PM EST
    A4) Box(contain) our kids did it better than spill. #425chat
  • Coach_JGill Jan 19 @ 9:39 PM EST
    Has helped. Can pick off a puller as well. Will add rushers on pass downs. #425chat

  • CODY_GARDNER Jan 19 @ 9:40 PM EST

    A4) Spill. #425chat
  • CoachBehnfeldt Jan 19 @ 9:41 PM EST
    A4: Spill player, like to use him as a compressor of OT to keep our ILB clean and the wrong arm to spill to Safeties and ILBs. #425chat
  • coachdboucher Jan 19 @ 9:41 PM EST
    A3) near back, play faster that way, have over hang on each side to overlap counter mistakes, Mirror drill. #425chat
  • TeamSpiritSocks Jan 19 @ 9:41 PM EST

  • Coach_ZC Jan 19 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A3: the two dudes in his gap, then to flow. #425chat
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A4 we spill and let safeties be aggressive. Run them to 12th man if needed. East West better than North/South #425chat
  • brrobinson208 Jan 19 @ 9:42 PM EST
    A4 our ends are contain players to. With our alignments and opponents it makes more sense to have our ends in contain. #425chat
  • freezysmalls Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A4 we wrong arm a lot because safeties are "SUPPOSE" to be filling like a bat outta hell #425chat again...I reinterate the "SUPPOSE" lol
  • coachmolzen Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A4) We spill. Get ball carrier going sideways. When we are 1 high OLBs force, 2 high technically safeties are force #425chat
  • CoachM_Hancock Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST
    We teach our DE to spill to OLB unless we stunt the OLB inside the DE. We'll stunt both and also swap their gaps #425chat
  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST
    #425chat question, how do you manipulate the offense to force them to throw their RPO and pick it off in the process? I want INTs!
  • coachcoker02 Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST
    A4: our ends are spill players. Helps the LBs fit the run right. We used to contain but have improved run fits since the switch. #425chat
  • y0su_ Jan 19 @ 9:44 PM EST
    I like the reasoning a lot. Scheme to fit your strengths. #425chat
    In reply to @CoachFetty
  • CoachByrd_ Jan 19 @ 9:44 PM EST
    A4 spill player we want to create a horizontal wall for three RB force him to bounce parallel..fastest way to the endzone is north #425chat

    Spill, less chance for ball to get vertical, have leverage with overhang #425chat

    why rb for you guys? do your LBs do ok with that or is eye discipline a problem? #425chat

    We noticed the same thing with our guys. Do you drill DE & OLB together on spill? #425chat

    A4: we have the ability to do both #425chat
  • CoachCurran42 Jan 19 @ 9:45 PM EST
    play man. Show C2. Have safety drive on #2 at snap. Have the LB their reading fly on run because he has no pass resp. #425chat

  • The_Coach_A Jan 19 @ 9:46 PM EST
    Depends on if he has the N or not. If the DE has a 3 he is holding his position working off the OT & boxing. If N, he is crashing! #425chat
    • ritterisland Jan 19 @ 9:44 PM EST
      depends on personnel, but I like a stronger end to spill in, and let lbs clean up the mess

    Q5: What type of personnel do you want for your ends? Athletic? Big run stoppers? What and why? #425chat
  • Coach_V_ Jan 19 @ 9:46 PM EST

    A5: the way we play it, you can have a variety of sizes/shapes. A nice mix of size and speed is critical to pass rush and wrong arm #425chat

    exactly. I just try to disguise as much as I can with the safety. #425chat

    Q5 Im a big advocate for athletic ends, guys that can take on blockers as well as chase a play down from the backside #425chat hard 2 find
  • CoachM_Hancock Jan 19 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A5 - we switch our DE on offense strength. Our strongside DE is a run stopper & weakside DE is our more athletic edge type rusher #425chat

    A3: Box LBs read OGs 1st. If ZN, they read their anchor points (cross-face = belly key). Fold player reads the EMOL & fits off DE. #425chat
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A5 we look for players that will do their job unselfishly. Looking the part is just a bonus #425chat
  • CoachOrtiz1 Jan 19 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A5) want big, athletic, fast...we usually have 1or 2 of those qualities. Put our athletic DE to the field & other to the boundary #425chat
  • freezysmalls Jan 19 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A5 we have many good LBs that we are going to go with 2 stand up DEs that are strong for the line and agile for space #425chat a 2-4-5 lol

    A5 Hybrid if poss. Violent with hands,thick enough to bang with the OL but fast enough to track ball carrier and rush the passer.#425chat
  • CoachSReid Jan 19 @ 9:52 PM EST
    #425chat A5 tall and fast, basketball kids, helps with position to sideline tackles on stretch plays and quick game passing lanes
  • CoachFetty Jan 19 @ 9:52 PM EST

    A6: Read and React drills. They are great EDDs and gives realistic view of their reads and breaks them down. #425chat
  • The_Coach_A Jan 19 @ 9:54 PM EST
    DL read drill: Vert step/read ZN or block back. Use a fold drill for OLBs. Set up to cones & have them fold in & meet the RB. #425chat
  • CoachFetty Jan 19 @ 9:54 PM EST
    A6) Run fits and force drills... ,make sure they know what their part of the big picture is. #425chat

    A6) We will have a fit period with the front 6. Rapid fire the calls to see our fits with the cans. Breakdown at heel line. #425chat
  • CoachFetty Jan 19 @ 9:56 PM EST
    Anchor to run strength usually to TE. mostly field if we want to do it that way. can flip it it getting a ton of FIB #425chat

    A5 all my DL are interchangeable. Some weeks I want speed freaks on the edge and others I want big tanks to contain the edge. #425chat
  • DLBlaxx Jan 19 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A3. Near guard to cross back. We force QB keep on Zone read so rep base fill to fallback #425chat
  • thomps_03 Jan 19 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A6 Hands Hands Hands. Eat oline and keep them off LBs and Safeties. Read React to blocks, work with LBs with clear cloudy read fits #425chat
