Defensive Gaps and Techniques 

Thank you sir. You saved my team from a whole lot of up downs.

This is why I love American football. Most casual fans don't pay attention to these details within the game. It's a team sport but within the game itself are individual one on one battles.

This was very helpful because I was very confused by techniques. When I hear technique I think of some sort of method, or mixed up with the stance of the lineman. No, technique is really a physical lineup position. Thanks for clearing that up.

Good Stuff, thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks, very helpful to me.

Thanks for this. TV and radio commentators use this terminology assuming the rest of us already know what it means.

I learned different but it was really good now I know to ways😀😄

im a bit late.... but i cant get over how well everything is drawn out in this video. omg

William, not sure what's going on when you're attempting to play the video, but I checked it out as soon as I read your comment and it played all the way through for me. If anyone else has issues with the playback of this video, please let me know, as I may have to re-upload the video. Sorry for the complications, but I appreciate the information/feedback!

nice video, nice explanation... question though... why the elimination of the 6tech in favor of " 9 "?

Thanks

I don't remember learning this in pop warner.

8 technique is a head up TE? I always taught a 6 is head up on TE

I thought it was 2,4,6 not 2,4,8

What would you consider the gap between the tackle and the flat if there's no TE?

It actually makes sense that the tight end is eight cause if it was 6 it’ll have to share 5 with 4 .

Interesting, we just used gap numbers left are even, right odds (mirror of offense). Then our play would determine our line up. My coaches played for usc back in the 60’s

So what's a strong A and a weak A

6 Tech is we teach your 7 , 7 is head up

Why do so many coaches break their own rules in the TE?? Just go with 6i,6 and 7 outside... plz stop clinging to your precious 9.

Is left side always referred to as the weak side??? And the right side is the strong side???

This video doesn't play all the way goes for a minute or 2 then stops
