WHY WE RUN THIS PARTICULAR DEFENSE AT GMC:

I. PERSONNEL (WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN EACH POSITION):NOSE = Possibly your best Defensive Lineman. He can ensure

double teams, causehavoc, and has to be accounted for. The strength of the defensive

has to start upfront with a dominating Nose player.ENDS = First and foremost, these individuals have to be able to

run extremely well.They have to big enough in order to take on blockers and be a

dominant force on theedge.MIKE = Your most instinctive LB (the QB of the Linebacker corp).

He must beresponsible for setting the strength of the defensive front (Rip &

Liz) call.SAM & WILL = Usually your bigger and more athletic type of

individual for thisposition (equal to a Sam or Will in a 4-3 scheme). They must beable to play man

coverage on a RB and get into coverage when playing zone.DOGS = More of a Strong Safety type of individual or even a very

physical Corner. Hasto be an extremely effective blitzer and run stopper. He has to

posses the cover skillsin order to play man coverage on a #2 Receiver. He has to be a

II. PHILOSOPHY:We are an attacking, pressure oriented defense. We are able to

bring either 3,4,5, or 6 man pressure on any given snap. We want a

defense that will SWARM to the ball on every snap. We will havesafety in numbers in order to be effective on defense. We want thedefense to have an element of surprise for our opponent by being ableto bring pressure in a variety of different ways. We will focus oncreating and causing turnovers to ensure our success. We will entereach and every game with the ultimate goal of shutting down our

opponents running game. We are a defense that is designed to stopthe run first. We will mix up our coverage and front packages so thatto cause confusion for our opponents QB.

Finally, we want to limit our opponents to 10 points or less agame.

III. RULE BUSTER FOR OFFENSES:- Forces offenses to form new blocking rules

- We present a 3 Linebacker scheme with no 3 Technique (onlyin our 4 man fronts)

- Both Offensive Guards are uncovered which causes confusion- Creates a what if mentality because they have to account for

all 5 players on the second level. Offenses must account for the Dogposition.

IV. MATCHES OFFENSES PERSONNEL:Our defense allows us to put speed on the field that we feel

enables us to match up against varying offensive personnel and

formations. We face more and more spread offenses, and webelieve that this defense allows us to match up extremely well. Inturn, we can match up well versus offenses that want to put severalRBs or TEs into the game as well. We will go to our

multiple 4 man fronts and stack our players into the box.

V. KEEP IT SIMPLE:We believe that we have an extremely simple defense in

regards to our terminology and coverage packages. We must keepit simple so our players do not have to think and can just run to theball.
