I have but I'm done coaching. Al Davis said players not plays and that rings true when calling a scheme. Most of us don't get to pick our players so if you're dealt 2 legit nose tackles be Marvin Lewis and do your best 2000 ravens impression if you get kids who can get up field let them shoot the gap. The 46 is great if everyone can do their job but when my Charlie backer got hurt we ran 4-2 nickel with lots of stunts and games the rest of the year. Best 11 play
@@chadwest5299 Tackles can call their own for the inside but if the end calls for a game the tackles have to call theirs off. Mike linebacker makes the call for the stunt and which way to go.
Giving the player the freedom to adjust accordingly is very important. I played nose guard and the lineman and LBs had a word and tap system to tell us where to go
I have to be honest. I have never played a down of football at any level. I have never coached or called a single play. I'm just an average fan who really wants to understand the X's and O's. This is probably about as clear an explanation as I've seen so far. I go into videos like this saying that if I can understand 50-60% of what's being said, enough to appreciate the defense when I see it on the field, it was a successful video. Some of the more complicated stuff toward the end went over my head but that's ok. I wonder why we don't see the 46 in the NFL today? I thought it was because of all the spread and shotgun sets that remove the 8 man front but from what I'm seeing here, 46 does not necessarily mean 8 in the box, it's a scheme, not a formation. This is the first time I've heard it expressed that way.
I taught it as you/me for line games you first, me first. You slant first I loop, me slant first you loop. Then coaded it as nuts/bolts. For stunts it was Oakland, Ohio, Oregon was the linebacker would blitz outside the dt Indiana, Illinois would be linebackers blitzing inside Then we'd have select dummy calls incase they caught on or call in the huddle I'll say it but don't do it.
Yup. That's why I despised Gunther Cunningham. He'd dial up a blitz, but play it soft on the back end. So you're forcing the hot and not defending the hot. smh I call it "not having the courage of your convictions." Play on the back end like you know there's pressure and the ball will come out in 2.5 seconds.
