    A1)100% willing to play even numbers, never going to swing the numbers to help them run the ball. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: We like 4 over 3; but we love man, so we don't "need" it; I think it can help disguise a blitz from there though. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Apr 25 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 Not if you have athletes to have a 3 over 3 look. #swarmfbchat

  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: as 3 down Do a little of each and add im the mini or fog concept. As 4 down mostly 3 #swarmfbchat

  • coachdober Apr 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: I always like to show 4 over 3 to take away any pre-snap read easy throws. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTWill22 Apr 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: You need multiple ways to defend 3x1. It was our most seen set this year. Can't sit in one look. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • coachjsam Apr 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: I think it all depends on what they do out of the formation #swarmfbchat
  • NickyT4098 Apr 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: We try to keep 2 high as much as possible. Bracket #3 with OLB and backside safety. Corner and frontside safety play Cov 2 #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Coach_JRogers Apr 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1) Want to have at least 3 over 3 but like to give perception of 4 and might get there different ways. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    We will play man, 4 over 3 and bring an olb, or play 3o3u and bring some type of zone blitz #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Apr 25 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1 cont. we can play 4 over have it look like 3 over. Can't have immediate tells for O based on alignment. #swarmfbchat
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Apr 25 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: We do 3 on 3, but avoid the unnecessary numbers game by playing man on the single side. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHoneyman Apr 25 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1) I like 4 over 3but if we are able to match up play more and get aggressive. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: also need to know offense identity and how they use TE if on 3 rec side #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:08 PM EDT

  • coachdober Apr 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: from 4 over 3 look, we can rush an extra guy or drop all 4. Different coverages too, but all look 4 over 3 pre-snap #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Not a "need." Love to be equal w/ #'s if heavy bubble/smoke screen team. Love playing games on single WR side #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1: we give a 4 over 3 look. Will set the front to the single rec. side. Will also play man to the trips if they run screens. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1: we can play 4 over 3 but will also play lock on one and 2 read others, leaves us free to play games with BS safety. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • Coach_ZC Apr 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1: Will show the 4 over 3 consistently, how we change after the snap is the key. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1 cont: we will always start in 2 high pre snap and then roll to whatever we need to #swarmfbchat
  • CoachAltmanWM Apr 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1: what are they doing single receiver side? Best wr? Just have to be careful of how they are aligned in trips. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Coach_Sneed_EM Apr 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1 To the wide side bump 4 over 3. Middle of the field or into boundary 3 on 3. Tight trips= treat like twins w/2 back. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1 cont: Mix a ton of coverages & pressures to trips & single side, create chaos & confusion. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Q2: How many options do you have for covering the single WR away from Trips? Any favorites you’d like to share? #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    Don't tell anyone but I am will to play 2 over 3. Just depends on why they are in trips? #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Apr 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Press man!!! Easily can bracket or slice if needed... #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHoneyman Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2) bracket man single WR or play mix of cover 2 to single WR and 4 to the trips side #swarmfbchat
  • CoachAltmanWM Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: Solo, Bracket, squat half. love to play solo all the time, but sometimes athleticism doesn't allow us to. Squat half 👍 #SWARMFBCHAT
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: We actually work on 4 variations of coverages for the single WR away from tips if detached. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A1 straight man solo. Bracket. Under/over. Crazy Jedi mind tricks. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Depends on the back. Right now, we go man and have lb help on the slant. Have also been in a scheme where... #swarmfbchat
  • coachdober Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    Q2: we have 3 different ways that we like to use consistently, with others that we have added weekly based on opponent tendency #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: assuming he's a stud, press bail and run olb under neath, show off then press and safety over top, if into bnrdy press with #swarmfbchat
  • robertpomazak Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: fun to mix coverages bracket w/ OLB & CB . Off man clue Q on quick game. Press man w/ pressure. or jam w olb in 3-4 #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2) Again, why are they trips, what are they doing backside. But we will play man or zone, with or without help. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2 cont: olb and play corner over top #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_ZC Apr 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: We will carry 4 different concepts on the backside. #swarmfbchat
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    If the rb was to the single we played 2 on that side. Gave us 3-on-3 to trips, but had a ton of success with it #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Apr 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    We have 3-4 different ways we can play trips. Our pre-snap alignment won't give it away #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: we play man on the single. OLB will play the RB swing or an in-cut by single receiver. #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    We will play a rolled cover 3 with a hard corner to trips, freeing up the Sam to blitz or play RPO differently. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @CoachMHochard
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2: In theory, we could play any of our coverages if we wanted to, but think man gives us our best chance to be successful. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    From a linebacker or the backside safety. Yes! Like to keep um guessing.Lot depends on tendency of backs route running ability #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @Coach_JRogers, @rmacblue
  • Coach_Sneed_EM Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2. Island(no help), 3 on 3 to trips w/ bracket on single; Aggressive bump on line with safety help behind. Don't let the 1 win #swarmfbchat
  • CoachTWill22 Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2: Depends on WHO that dude is. We have options to get 2 over their best guy. If it's single WR, we have a few diff. Looks. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Coach_JRogers Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2) Play man with CB. Another way will roll the CB to 1/2 and OLB will drop to the WR like cover 2 CB. #swarmfbchat
  • coachdober Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Q2: favorite is CB with man mentality, safety read departure of #3. If #3 vert., safety has him. If not, safety help on single #swarmfbchat
  • PigSkinCoach Apr 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2 we roll a bunch of different cov 3 looks change up the flat player #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: what type of player is he? If he's the stud=press to take away air & have CB bracketed over the top. If not, man up 1 on 1. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    Outside shoulder of 2 with down safety inside of 3 with free, if spacing is tough we will invert, lock free on 3 and read 2-1. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachDiG, @rmacblue
  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    A2: about 4-5 might sound crazy and can't live in it but ❤️❤️❤️corner pressure and spin coverage back. Play press=force fade #SWARMFBCHAT
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    It would also make a difference if the single is a horse and the trips are to the boundary. Don't want to give a stud 2muchroom #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGrayvold Apr 25 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    Couple different looks. Favorite of mine is playing cover 2 jump press to the single man and being extremely physical. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGrayvold Apr 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A2 Couple different looks. Favorite of mine is playing cover 2 jump press to the single man and being extremely physical. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    and this is why #swarmfbchat works - great ideas being shared - you can DM coaches for more info as well. #coachingfraternity
  • NickyT4098 Apr 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A2: Have 2 variations. Can bracket or we can lock up on backside. Depends how good the WR is and how good our CB is #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    5 to that side gotta be a pretty good edge player now though, takes edge support some time to get there. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachDiG, @rmacblue, @CoachOsovet
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    Also the reason my best running backer is always to trips side. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachDiG, @rmacblue, @CoachOsovet
  • robertpomazak Apr 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    A2 D&D play a role, 3rd L gonna be man under and protect the comeback . play bottom hip #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    A2) I would love to play trap 2 to the single, 1/4 on the front side. #swarmfbchat
  • PigSkinCoach Apr 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    A2 does blitzing into trips count as cov type? #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT
    Q3: Saw this pop up: Favorite place to send pressure vs 3x1 – From trips? Away from trips? Middle? Field vs Boundary? #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_Adam_Mac Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    OL coach here. Don't mind me, just creepin on my counterpart #swarmfbchat
  • CoachMHochard Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3 trips side right into QBs grill. Make him make read with a Hot OLB in his face #SWARMFBCHAT #UndaPressha
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT

  • coachjsam Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3: all depends on gameplan and what you're trying to accomplish on the back end #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3: Love sending DB from over #3... Solid pressure for me over the years. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHoneyman Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3) depends on what they are trying to do, weakest oline ect. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Coach_JRogers Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3) Depends on what the team is doing but like to bring 5+ pressures based on RB & D&D. #swarmfbchat
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    Personally. Olb/cb/safety off the edge away from trips. Give a "no help" call if bringing the safety #swarmfbchat
  • PigSkinCoach Apr 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3 fav to the trip side have built in rules to gap out blitz and take away hot reads #swarmfbchat
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Apr 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A3: Backside OLB off the edge!! #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A3: TE trips field. Slot trips boundary. Possible away from the back too #SWARMFBCHAT
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:26 PM EDT

    #SWARMFBCHAT
    • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT
      A3: depends on report, but if I can go both edges (backer loop/weak safety) with a peel technique and leave a backer in the box... look out
      In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:29 PM EDT
    A3: How do they protect? What hand is the QB? What happens w/ the RB? Any tendencies to take away? All factors to consider. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3: Basic 1-man pressure - from the WS...Multiple Pressure - love it in the face of the QB from Trips #gethimrattled #swarmfbchat
  • NickyT4098 Apr 25 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3: Love bringing it away from trips off of boundary preferably with our OLB. Giving up the RB coming out of backfield though #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:30 PM EDT
    A3 cont: If man up single side, likely edge pressure. If trips near & rollout tendency= edge pressure from trips side #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3: I like weakside pressures either OLB or my DE. Can also send MLB if o-line isn't very good picking up twists. #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_ZC Apr 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3: Depends on the week, where is the weak link, how do they protect? Tendencies. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • elbigfred Apr 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    #swarmfbchat A3) Away from trips and widen out the trips side end. Send pressure on single receiver side.
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A3)I to send Mike thru off the edge from an under front. Really like to play off man and bring 6. OLB to RB and opposite ILB #swarmfbchat
  • coachdober Apr 25 @ 9:32 PM EDT
    A3: different games on the single receiver side. OLB, ILB, DE. OLB from trips side to get quick pressure and influence throw #swarmfbchat
  • KJMcDonough Apr 25 @ 9:32 PM EDT
    A2) Have a few ways we can handle it. Favorite way is have a good BC who can press man, also like CB hard flat S over top. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • PigSkinCoach Apr 25 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3 we don't see any 5 step drop kinda nullify the blitz choices #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    A3: also all this pressure is in the back end..love to call the big skill's number and hit line stunts! Let the big boys hunt!! #SWARMFBCHAT
  • elbigfred Apr 25 @ 9:33 PM EDT
    #swarmfbchat A3) Tendencies will show if QB rolls out to trips side. Pressure must come from trips side to stop QB roll out.
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    Sometimes, you just have to stop looking at the paper and call what you feel; passing up pressure is a bad thing in my opinion #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGinn Apr 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3: depends on why they are in trips, but typically to the trips. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    A3. Send wolb and ilb from boundary, if show RB flare will blitz into it and peel with him #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    Planning on doing more of this in the fall. Give the big boys some chances. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @CoachHays13, @rmacblue
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    The best pass cover comes from your rush. The fat DBs will tell the truth of our coverage. #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    Q4: Base (safe) Cover Schemes vs 3x1 (Cv 2,3,4) OR using Multiple looks/Split Field to confuse QB and blocking schemes? #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGinn Apr 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT
    A2: we have about 5 different ways to defend single away from trips, all depends on what we have to take away #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCurran42 Apr 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A4: I like C2 Read... could be cover 2 or 4 depending on routes, but I like straight man free as well. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGinn Apr 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A1: Can play 3 on 3 in one way or another, but can sneak a guy over or out if needed to play 4 over 3 again #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    A4) Split field, a variety of pattern match with sky/cloud on the back side. #swarmfbchat
  • coachjsam Apr 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    Have to have multiple ways to play 3X1 sets #swarmfbchat
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    4 to the trips, 2 to single. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • NickyT4098 Apr 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A4: Depends on down and distance.Base we play Cov 2 with a bracket on #3 WR. Can also play Cov 3. Also love our nickel package #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_ZC Apr 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A4: Multiple/split field have to consistently show different things, can make the qb uncomfortable outside of pressure #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHoneyman Apr 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A4) our auto check for safest is cover 4. Maybe tag a line stunt to bring pressure #swarmfbchat
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Apr 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    A4: We have a "base" against 3×1, but will show multiple as necessary. We will not allow the offense to dictate what we do. #swarmfbchat

    A4: 2-roll. Mike and backside safety responsible for #3. Man on single. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4: field based in 4 down so pre set to QB arm. Same rules. 3 down takes care of self with supports #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:36 PM EDT
      Q4: Base (safe) Cover Schemes vs 3x1 (Cv 2,3,4) OR using Multiple looks/Split Field to confuse QB and blocking schemes? #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4: Our base way to play 3x1 is a mix of man and cover 3. CB to single is man. Trips side CB, R, and FS have deep thirds. #swarmfbchat
  • KJMcDonough Apr 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A3) All depends on what they do, don't want to send pressure for pressures sake. Has to fit best against what the offense does #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachGinn Apr 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4: we're split field, so have a variety of ways to defend the trips, we're gonna take away your "dude" #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4 2 read (match quarters) play off more if just can't let up big play, but big plays can't happen if qb is sacked, bring heat #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:40 PM EDT
    A4: usually split field w/ coverage & pressure variance to each side. If not, base up & play fast. Do what we do. #swarmfbchat
  • robertpomazak Apr 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    love split coverages. Disguising coverages as much as possible. cover 3 sky, cloud buzz changes reads for RPO #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    BONUS Q: Will your coverage change with Trips to the Boundary? #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:41 PM EDT
    A4: qtr qtr half is base look. Everything stems from there. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • Coach_JRogers Apr 25 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A4)I think how you play depends on tendencies prefer to be more aggressive. Force O into mistakes. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGinn Apr 25 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    A4: only thing that really dictates our coverage is TE side trips #swarmfbchat
  • mchristensenbv Apr 25 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    Do you double the dude if he is the single? Do you bash and bracket if he's on the trio side? #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @CoachGinn, @rmacblue
  • CoachCurran42 Apr 25 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    Bonus: Definitely go to bracket single. Not worried about 3 into bdry. More worried about 1 in space. Have to blitz to back #swarmfbchat
  • robertpomazak Apr 25 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    thats a secret ! #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • elbigfred Apr 25 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    #swarmfbchat A4) Apex alignment on the 2 and 3 receiver then run Cover 1 or Cover 3. Deep 3rd, Flats, Hook/Curl
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    BONUS A: why is trips to boundary? That answer gives us our options. Likely do not over adjust #swarmfbchat
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    Depends on the single and if they like to run qb sweep away from trips with all that green grass to work in #SWARMFBCHAT
  • CoachGrayvold Apr 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    No... maybe #swarmfbchat
  • mchristensenbv Apr 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    I loved this as a base look too, then too many guys got 4 verts against our three deep. We couldn't split 4 verts well enough #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @CoachHays13, @rmacblue
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    Bonus: cb will press, olb press #3 safety over top, no change in cov just tech, take away anything quick to boundary #swarmfbchat
  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A: not as much 3 down 4 down usually has to went with man free or zone option. All about moving safeties #SWARMFBCHAT
  • coachjsam Apr 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Bonus: all depends on what want to do out of it #swarmfbchat
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Apr 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Bonus: Trips to boundary just gives us more options in our blitz package. Please run trips to short. #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_JRogers Apr 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Bonus) can depend on what they are doing into boundary. Like to bring pressure from field in those scenarios. #swarmfbchat
  • Dsell75 Apr 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Bonus A: Might give a "Pound" tag. Tells them they are now playing man on the trips side. Took away tunnel screens last year. #swarmfbchat
  • KJMcDonough Apr 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A4) Split field calls, especially the way teams are using 11 personnel. Makes it so out guys have answers based on any surface #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    Bonus: FIB - we aren't going to overreact to it. FS will sit MOF, LBs alignments bump, it will look like cover 3. #swarmfbchat
  • MightyJoe54 Apr 25 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A2: Sometimes like to buzz OLB out to bang the single WR with the corner playing deep over the top as a change up from man. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachHoneyman Apr 25 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    B) maybe lock up the single or give some help with backer. Depends on what they are doing out of it. #swarmfbchat
  • RogerBurtonwphs Apr 25 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    Had a booster club meeting tonight sorry for being late.. checking in from West Point MS.. the gif in honor of @MrGreenWave69 #swarmfbchat
  • CoachGinn Apr 25 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    Bonus.) again depends on their why, if they are doing it to attack the field use the boundary as an extra guy, don't overreact. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCorley_ Apr 25 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    great opportunity for a double bracket along the seam. Keeps QB honest and doesn't totally lose the field. #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachGinn
  • RogerBurtonwphs Apr 25 @ 9:48 PM EDT
    Bonus: Trips to boundary alignment would spend on the film study of the opponent #swarmfbchat
  • MightyJoe54 Apr 25 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A3: Have to look at protection scheme and where the RB is set, but prefer to send it from field side. #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • mchristensenbv Apr 25 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Smart! Thanks! You have pressed the single with the corner, who then trails the single? #SWARMFBCHAT
    In reply to @CoachHays13, @rmacblue
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    Q5: Do you utilize any Como Schemes vs Trips in 3x1 (Zone & Man vs those 3 WR)? Anything change in scheme vs Tre look? #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A5: if heavy RPO team where they read the stack player closest to #3 WR=man him up & play matchup everywhere else. #swarmfbchat
  • mchristensenbv Apr 25 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    #swarmfbchat A5: I've tried to play man on the widest of the Trio then "2 read" on the inside 2. Trying to fill box more and double backside
  • CoachDiG Apr 25 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A5: yes mostly vs rpo. Change us just alignment #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:50 PM EDT
      Q5: Do you utilize any Como Schemes vs Trips in 3x1 (Zone & Man vs those 3 WR)? Anything change in scheme vs Tre look? #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A5 trey tough, will man te and read 1/2 with cb and safety, put in a bind when te is a dude though, have to roll back side #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    Q5 cont. : Or how about vs a bunch set? #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A5)Yes will man up 1wr and play our 2read rules on the other. Trey could get us in a 50under, so a yeah sorta, may rob TE w/ WS #swarmfbchat
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A5: We use spacing as a rule; we will 2-read the WR while playing man vs TE in that scenario. #swarmfbchat
  • RogerBurtonwphs Apr 25 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A5: Coverages .. yuck.. I'm out in all about blitzes and run fits.. sorry my stay was so short.. I gotta go anyway.. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachLucch Apr 25 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A5: can also man #1 to trips & play cover 2 vs remaining 10. Creates a 10v10 scenario. Bunch, base/combo man. #swarmfbchat
  • CoachWelden Apr 25 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A5 cont. side safety to te, which leaves you manned up backside #1 good TE can change a lot of what youcan do backside cov wise #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_JRogers Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A5) Bunch like to press the point WR. CB & S will in and out the other 2WR. #swarmfbchat
  • RoyCash66 Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    Vs tre: play 2 over splits, roll w/s safety and banjo with Sam. Man on single #swarmfbchat
  • CoachBullNY Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A5:Press the point man in bunch and cover flats. Play corner vertical threat and have the safety cross key the #3 receiver.#swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • CoachHoneyman Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    Q5.2 play match up man. Press the WR on the line and read first in and out #swarmfbchat
  • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    All there in the scheme not on a weekly menu though #SWARMFBCHAT
    • CoachHays13 Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
      A5: we can play both ends zone or man on one side and zone other, or a 2 read and lock variation with man or zone away.
  • CodyCaseNoSpace Apr 25 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A5: Gonna try to dip our toes in pattern reading this season with trips, see how quickly we pick it up. #SWARMFBCHAT
  • mchristensenbv Apr 25 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A5 (bunch): We will always press/bash/trail some the middle guy of the bunch; must disrupt timing Like @CoachHoneyman #swarmfbchat
  • CODY_GARDNER Apr 25 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    Bunch set: Pound the point man. Brack rules, but must destroy the pt man, #swarmfbchat
  • CoachCKW Apr 25 @ 9:57 PM EDT
    Would Stubbie count as one of those combo schemes? C locked on 1 MEG with OLB, MLB and S playing C2 on 2 & 3 #swarmfbchat
    In reply to @rmacblue
  • rmacblue - Moderator Apr 25 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    As Always: my pleasure to host the #swarmfbchat. Touhgher topic when you talk vs specific O form; don't like to lose DL/LB guys.
  • tothehouse Apr 25 @ 9:59 PM EDT
    A1 - Way late to the party (had kid pick up duty). Here is what we like to do vs. trips. https://t.co/yhHbkhsioW #swarmfbchat
