8 MAN FRONT CONCEPTInstalling 8 man front concepts. We will have a variety of different looks to get to an eight man front. We will drop SS outside TE, in the box, and outside the box to SE.

Strengths:1. Dominate the LOS (90%=win) with 8 to control 8 gaps.2. Utilize our quickness / speed / aggressiveness up front.3. Helps our pass rush because we can tee off and still control 1 gap.4. LBs can fast flow!

Weaknesses:1. You become vulnerable to play action and pass.2. You must avoid breakout plays!

Installing Middle of the Field Safety Concepts 3 Deep 4 Under Zone

STRENGTHS: 1. Good run support/fast support.2. Good deep coverage; always have post help (Middle field defender).3. Can run corners over to match up on skill and still play zone.4. Can change undercoverage players by spinning down FS or SS.

WEAKNESSES: 1. 4 verticals vs. 3 deep zones (Attack alleys between FS and Corner)2. Corners with inside leverage must be aware of outs/comebacks.3. Space 5 receivers in 4 underneath zones (Stretches 4 under).4. Play action in middle of field (post-dig) becomes a high-low principle 5. Have a curl/flat defender on the LOS (Under).
