Great video. Along with the fronts you can get into an even front with slants and blitzes. Against gap scheme or teams that liked to pull guards we would love to play the bear or tight front. Constantly teaching ends to chase the puller.
For other recomendations please check out Coach Mac videos on "Tite/Mint Front with 3-3 Personnel" "3-4 reduction fronts", playing "3-3 with 4-2-5 personnel". Coach has great vidoes showing various coverage you could play including variations of quarters, Cover-5 (2-Man or 5 under 2 and 3 under 3). Also 6 man and 5 man pressures.
Love it! We base out of this style and have had great success because we are a smaller school with lots of two way guys and often playing undersized. The only thing I'll add is that odd front has a ton of synergy with long stink principles. We teach each linemen the keys and are able to present a 6 3 1 5 but long stick the 3 and 1 weak to play like an under front. Makes it a complete guessing game for the OC.
@@CoachMac haha! I appreciate it! But I appreciate more your dedication to putting out some of the best, most consistent and in depth football content out there! You the man! I'm up North but I hope your clinic does great. Looks like you put in a ton of work and the line is fantastic. Will you be capturing any of the talks to put online after the fact?
I'd also check out St. Thomas in Minn. Coach Wallie Kuchinski has one of the most unique and scary defensive schemes in the nation. He has a short presentation on x and o labs as well. Really fascinating stuff with a ton Of success.
Great video coach. I know you get asked for a lot of video topics, but I'd love to see you go through some of the replace pressures that X and O Labs just put out. It was a good report, but I'd like to see someone tinker with it a bit more. Keep up the great work. Thank you
I like the 3-4. Now in HS football I don't about a lot of two gap. It probably be more of a read and Ron to the ball. For the most part it will be a one gap. More of a gap control scheme.
Hey Coach Mac. Great video as usual. Last season I ran a lot of base 3-4 stuff, and struggled when facing a TE. We lined up as you have drawn up above-staying in our 4-0-4. A lot of the time I felt having only the DE vs the 3 man surface was asking too much, and I wasn't sure what to do with the OLB. Do you do anything particular, or are there any other coaching points you would use for players on the 3 man surface side? Would you just tighten up the OLBs alignment to more of a 2x2 instead of 4x4/Apex? Thanks!
I would certainly tighten down the OLB. Think about moving the front with Slants and Angles to change up the looks. Ever look at playing Under Fronts vs TE Sets?
What do you have as the difference between slants and angles? We would very rarely 2 gap anyone, purely slant into a gap. I had not thought about that, but its something I'll look into more for this season. Practice time is a big concern for me (European team, so 2/3 practices a week, maybe 6 contact hours on the field) which is why I try to keep everything in the same world just to optimise teaching and learning.
@@Starbuck313 One adjustment we would make is play head up on the Tight End with our OLB. Depending on the coverage we would adjust run responsibilities and pass responsibilities of this player. If you like three or one you can bring the OLB and let him pick the gap and let the safety make him right. If you play four behind it then the safety has to be good enough to once again make the OLB correct. If the OLB gets hooked the Safety fills outside. If the OLB gets kicked fill inside. One thing was essential beat the heck out of the Tight End do not allow a free release.
@@Starbuck313 Starbuck313 vs the TE we put the OLB on the LOS in 9 tech (his foot just inside the TE's foot). He then turns into a splatter/cage player. MUST get hands on the TE if he down blocks, to keep him off Mike. Also can't get reached. Seems like a tough task, but we rep it everyday. We are two-gap with our 4-0-4. Sometimes we will pre snap Shade... sometimes we slant to the next hip... sometimes we spike.
Depending what you're getting 11 gun or 21 pro determines what we'll use. Against 21 pro we'll usually slant at the TE, bring the weak side olb in a tight spill blitz off the weak side and the strong side olb in a tight 9, boxing/force. Against 11/21 gun we usually play Tite rules, with a 7 tech posting the TE out looking for a KO. A mix up is to bring the string side olb inside the TE on a tight spill path, slant weak, and roll strong.
