  2. Example of 2 TE Formations:

  3. C B A A B C M Review of Gap Responsibilites E N E S B B L R

  4. Strategy Considerations • How do we defend 8 gaps across the front? • To load or not to load the Tight Ends? • Playing the Counter & Trap: wrong arm? • Defending 4 vertical threats vs. 1 back

  5. R Consideration 1:Defending 8 gaps • Structure of the 3-3 handles all 8 gaps by base alignment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 E N E B S L M C C F

  6. Consideration #2:To Load or not to Load Tight End? • Loading the TE: • Walk Spur up to a 6 technique, and slants inside. Have a change up where he loops outside. • Put Lion/Ram in a 6 tech, walk up Spur, bring both. • Bring the Spur into a 9. • Walk the strong side backer over the tight end • Advantages include having a player aligned on the TE • Disadvantages include losing a flat defender in pass coverage & a “hang” player for counter. Not Loading the TE: • Maintain base alignment • Spur play 1 yard off and 1 yard outside the TE. Read near foot for down, reach, base blocks. • Spur play 2 yards off and one yard outside the TE

  7. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE on either or both sides: • Walk Spur up to a 6 technique, slant inside • End slants inside as well • Spur and Lion gap exchange; Lion becomes run force in cover 3 S E L

  8. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE on either or both sides: 2. Walk Spur up to a 6 technique, loop outside and maintain run force • End and Lion gap exchange; End slants inside to C gap • Lion backer maintains normal b gap responsibility S E L

  9. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE either or both sides : • Put Lion in a 6 tech, walk up Spur into a loose 7, bring both. • (Ram in 6, Bandit for opposite tight end side) “Smoke” (“Torch” to other TE) S L E

  10. Strategy : Walk up Outside Backers into a 3 point stance & slant them inside (One or both sides).Smoke & Spur calls 2x 3 2x 3 L E N E R B S M C C Watch out for: Counter Speed Option Quick Traps Minor Change-Ups: Back off Spur & Bandit So they can play as fold Players for counter F Coaching Point: Spill everything outside to the Spur & Bandit

  11. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE either or both sides : • Put Lion in a 6i tech, walk up Spur into a loose 7, Run a stunt where they gap exchange. • (May run a mirror stunt with Ram and Bandit on other TE) “Smoke” (“Torch” to other TE) S L E

  12. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE either or both sides : • Walk the Spur into a 9 • Spur keys TE to near back S E L Spur Reads: Down-squeeze, replace the TE, keeping shoulders square look for kick out block Zone step/Reach: mirror step, stay ON LOS, don’t get hooked. Cut off T (play away: play cutback, shuffle down LOS Pass: drop to top of numbers

  13. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE either or both sides : • Walk the Lion into a 6 or 6i (gap exchange with End) • Lion and End slant inside • Spur keys & technique are same as base “Anchor” (“Torpedo” to other TE) L E S Spur Reads: Down-squeeze, replace the TE, keeping shoulders square look for kick out block Zone step/Reach: mirror step, stay ON LOS, don’t get hooked. Cut off T (play away: play cutback, shuffle down LOS Pass: drop to top of numbers

  14. N E B M R C F 3-3 vs. 2 Tight Ends: Loading the TE(s). • Loading the TE either or both sides : • Walk the Lion into a 6 or 6i (gap exchange with Spur) • End slant inside, Lion Loops to C gap; becomes run force player L E S Lion Reads: Down-squeeze, replace the TE, keeping shoulders square look for kick out block Zone step/Reach: mirror step, stay ON LOS, don’t get hooked. Cut off T (play away: play cutback, shuffle down LOS Pass: contain rush

  15. Play Base; Don’t Load the TE(s) 4 x 4 E N E 4 x 4 S B L M R C C Minor Change-Ups: Slant the line left and right Run 4, 5 & Pressure with INSIDE Linebackers Watch out for: TE vertical releases Outside Zone Play F Coaching Point: Free Safety must be the equalizer vs. run!

  19. Cover 3 vs. One back E N E S B L M R C C F Deep Third Deep Third Deep Third Coaching Point: Lion & Ram MUST drop into a position to alter the trajectory of the Qb’s throw on a vertical seam. “Make the QB put some air under it so the FS has a chance to break up the play.”

  20. Cover 3 Double Seam Hash Drill B L R F Deep Third Coaching Point: Lion & Ram MUST drop into a position to alter pass trajectory FS bp hard, read QB shoulders, break on the ball Add play action to keep LB’s honest

  21. Another Strategy:Play a 3-4 w/Cover 2 Shell E N E C C S L M R • Nose becomes 2 gapper • Slide Backers to right • Stack Spur over TE • Play cover 4 deep, Quarter-Quarter Half • or 2 Deep coverage • Spur and Ram in better position to prevent • Clean vertical releases by Tight Ends F B

  25. Strategy vs. Two Tight End “I”: Walk up Outside Backers, stack the Spur and Bandit. Play Cover 0 L E N E R 2 x 3 Watch out for: Counter Boot Option Weak Toss S M B C F C Minor Change-Ups: Use TE Load stunts And pressure Coaching Points: Free Safety & Corner must be the equalizer vs. run! Spill everything outside.Spur & Bandit adjust to motion. Wrong arm the counter!

  26. Strategy 1 vs. Double Wing: Play Base. 4 x 4 E N E 4 x 4 S B L M R C C Minor Change-Ups: Slant the line left and right Run 4, 5 & Pressure with INSIDE Linebackers Watch out for: TE vertical releases Outside Zone Play F Coaching Point: Free Safety must be the equalizer vs. run!

  27. Strategy 2 vs. Double Wing: Crash Spur & Bandit 4 x 4 E N E 4 x 4 S B L M R C C Minor Change-Ups: Spur & Bandit wrong arm pullers; spill it!

Wrong arm pullers.

  30. Review: • Play Base at normal depth • Walk-up Spur & Bandit (2 x2, 1x1) • Load & Stunt to the TE(s) (7 different options) • Wrong arm the pullers; Spill it outside • Ram & Lion MUST get deep hash drop to disrupt TE verticals • Mix it up, keep the OL guessing • Have the option of playing 3-4 with 2 shell vs. one-back • Pay cover zero vs. 2TE “I” Formation • Crash the Spur & Bandit vs. Double Wing, spill everything!
