    A2: read the footwork of the back to the contradiction of the flow (pullers, wham blocks, etc) team scrape or press based on leverage. Pop feet to not overstep #swarmfbchat

    A6: In 3-4, on LOS. C Gap on TE and squeeze/wrong arm on pullers. Once on LOS, must attack the v of neck now! ILBs play 1/2 man and take on any inside block with inside shoulder, scrape over the top of any outside block. Remaining 8-9 must pursuit on any cutback #swarmfbchat

    A6: Block destruction we do teach half man. “Shock, Rip and run!” Base D we’re spilling, depending on alignment sometimes we will box with OLBs #swarmfbchat

    A6: half man-roll over the front foot-OLB depends if they are the 4th commited Rusher on spill or box #swarmfbchat

    LBs do it on Sundays too, especially if they are undersized. As long as they get back to their gap quickly they are good. #swarmfbchat

    A3: we don't have the athletes to drop a DL/DE like that....i would play man or some single high zone coverage and use a secondary player to cover the low hole where the Lbs were... #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 22 @ 8:17 PM EST
      Q3: When blitzing 2 or more LBers, will you drop DL/DE and play zone or will it more than likely translate to some sort of Man Coverage? #swarmfbchat
  • BarryHoover Jan 22 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Great article. Now with 6-man pressures: for Bullets (both ILBs), you prefer Man-Free and if I want to bring 2 off the edge, go 3 Deep 2 Under? If you don't mind me asking, why do you think one coverage is better than the other for the two different blitzes? #swarmfbchat

    A4: our defense has at least 3 that i consistently see in-game and against us in practice... #swarmfbchat

    A5. Occasionally widen DEs , but often just insert a speed DL consisting of 4 best pass rushers on the team regardless of position. #swarmfbchat

    A3. Have peeled DE as well and it works great however only if kid is a full time DE or if youre two platoon. Hard to recognize and execute that assignment if he’s a two way player @The_Coach_A #swarmfbchat

    A6) I would think guys are teaching half a man for block destruction unless you got some DUDES...and from an offensive perspective, I would much prefer an OLB to squeeze and box rather than spill, as it gets my RB and fat guys north/south sooner..so id teach SPILL! #swarmfbchat
    • rmacblue - Moderator Jan 22 @ 8:34 PM EST
      Q6: With LB block destruction, do you teach ½ man? Do you preach 3-points of contact? With OLBers, do you like to squeeze and box or squeeze and spill pullers? #swarmfbchat

    A3) Down and distance plays a factor in this. But it will most likely end in some sort of man #swarmfbchat

    A1) Yes. Aim point is the next hip at heel depth. Play the ball on the way to Q(get vert) #swarmfbchat
  • Coach_Stone_MT Jan 22 @ 9:59 PM EST
    A5) after watching film on opponent I think having 2 to 3 you can hang your hat on and able counter punch what might be thrown at you in first half of that game week. Make sure you have Goalline segment in practice also. #swarmfbchat
