Why Run a 3-4 Defense

If the offense spreads the field, the defense can spread the field with no personal change

• The adjustments are built into our defense• Blocking schemes and angles are in the

defenses advantage• One has the ability to bring 7 blitzers or

drop 8 defenders on any down.• The blitz package is unlimited and can be

ran with very little coverage adjustment.

The safety's Have a 2 yard hashRule.

Page 8: IWC Defensive Playbook

Base Alignment• The Sam linebacker will go to the strength and line up over or close to the #2

receiver. His responsibility is dependant on coverage called.• The Mike linebacker will go to the strength and play a 20 technique. His alignment is

four ½ yards deep with eyes on the triangle.• The Will Linebacker will go to the weak side and play a 20 technique. His alignment is

at four ½ yards deep with eyes on the triangle.• The Zip linebacker will go to the weak side and line up over or close to the #2

receiver. His responsibility is dependant on coverage called.• The Free safety always goes with the strength of the front. His alignment is 10 to 12

yards deep and he has a 2 yard hash rule.• The Rover always goes weak (opposite ) of the strength of the front. His alignment is

10-12 yards deep and he has a 2 yard hash rule.• The corners base alignment is 7 yards off of number 1 receiver. They will be angled

in at the QB and will shuffle out at the snap of the ball. (Basketball) They will be slightly inside of the number one receiver depending on the split of the receiver.

Page 9: IWC Defensive Playbook

DEFENSIVE LINE NUMBERING SYSTEM

• We use numbers to determine the techniques that we are playing up front

• The Stud (end) always plays the first number called to the strength call

• The Quick (end) will always play the second number away from the strength call

• The Nose Guard will shade to the side of the higher number unless he hears a tag

• If there is not a higher number he will play a zero technique on the center.

TIGER DEFENSIVE LINE STUNTS AND GAMES

• Out of any front we run we can simply tag a stunt with the defensive line to disrupt blocking schemes and create confusion.

• Example of how we name our stunts.

• SKIN (Stud Inside Nose)

• NUS (NOSE UNDER STUD)

• QUEEN ( QUICK UNDER NOSE)

• NUQ (NOSE UNDER QUICK)

This is an example of 53 NUQ the nose goes first the QuickIs second.

Page 18: IWC Defensive Playbook

TIGER DEFENSIVE LINE STUNTS AND GAMES

• RULES FOR STUNTS

• Slasher is first and slasher only slants one gap over

• Looper goes second and looper always goes two gaps over.

Page 19: IWC Defensive Playbook

DEFENSIVE LINE SLANTS

We very rarely play a two gap read techinque here at Iowa Wesleyan College.

We try to maintain as an attack defense by pre-determining the gaps that the defensive line must control. Thus clearing up the responsibility for the inside and outside linebackers by letting them know which gaps they are responsible for as well. This also allows us to play shade techniques (1/2 a man) up front.

Example of 44 Slant

Page 21: IWC Defensive Playbook

Slant technique

• When using a slant technique we must remember that Slant is Strong and Angle is weak

• As the Defensive line slants they must use a lateral step and their aiming point is the next outside shoulder in the direction of the slant or angle. The Defensive line will never slant to the open field if there is not a Tight End.

Example of 44 Angle

Quick never slants to Open field. Enter mouthExit ass

Page 23: IWC Defensive Playbook

Flare Technique

• The Ends have a contain rush to the outside. They are not slanting to outside. Bull rush and Two gap assignment.

• The Nose will slant weak.

$ N Q

The Ends will never Slant to the open fieldTake B gap verse Base and reach block if they get a down blockSqueeze and trail.

Page 24: IWC Defensive Playbook

Spark Technique

• The Ends have a contain rush to the outside. They are not slanting to outside. Bull rush and Two gap assignment.– The Nose will slant Strong.

$ N Q

Page 25: IWC Defensive Playbook

Pinch Technique

• The Pinch Technique tell out Defensive line to slant inside. Next Outside Shoulder in the direction of the slant. The nose in this case will enter mouth and exit ass of center.

$ N Q

Page 26: IWC Defensive Playbook

Out Technique

• The Out Technique tells the Defensive line to slant outside. Next Outside Shoulder in the direction of the slant. 52 is the main front that we use this in.

$ N Q

Page 27: IWC Defensive Playbook

Stem Technique

• Stem Technique is a shade technique from the opposite gap.

• The rules are the next outside shoulder in the direction of the slant or angle.

LINEBACKER PLAY

INSIDE LINEBACKER READS

• SPLIT KEY= We Fill Split keys with our outside shoulder free, spilling the play to the backside linebacker.

Page 32: IWC Defensive Playbook

INSIDE LINEBACKER READS

• Double Down= Scrape to the beach. Be ready for a gap exchange with an outside backer or defensive lineman.

INSIDE LINEBACKER READS

• Here is an example of gap exchange.

$ N Q

If a puller leaves youMust get to the otherSide of the center.

Page 34: IWC Defensive Playbook

INSIDE LINEBACKER READS

• FULL ZONE= This is the toughest read for an inside linebacker. If not patient this blocking scheme can look like double down. We must fill our gap VS. inside zone. To take away cut back lanes

$ N Q

Page 35: IWC Defensive Playbook

RUN FITS

• Fill player= A fill player is a player that has defensive line responsibilities. He will wrong shoulder pullers and spill kick-out blocks. He must be in position to get flat down the line of scrimmage.

• Force Player= A force player can not let the ball cross his face to the outside. He will Box all pulling lineman and kick-out blocks. (S.C.A.R.F. = Force)

Page 36: IWC Defensive Playbook

RUN FITS

• A S.C.A.R.F player must box (or Force) runs at him and be fold cutback on runs away from him.

• A fill player must Spill or bounce runs to him and play Counter, Reverse, Boot on action away. Trail the deepest shoulder of the ball carrier.

• Defensive Lineman are always Fill players!

Page 38: IWC Defensive Playbook

Coverage and Drops

• We play a variation of every major coverage making little if any adjustment to motions or formation. Ruling up our defensive responsibilities allows us to do this.

• Our secondary keeps a two shell look to disguise coverage and tendencies.

• We can cover from depth or rotate our safeties to aid in run support or underneath coverage.

Page 39: IWC Defensive Playbook

Cover 3

• In our four man pressure we run two major forms of cover 3. We call this by name not numbers.

• In cover 3 without a zone blitz we will have two hole players and two S.C.A.R.F. players.

• We will have 3 safeties and four under coverage.

• This allows us to be solid verse the run and great verses most formations and pass combinations.

Page 40: IWC Defensive Playbook

Defined terms

• Hole player= #3 receiver and QB verse option

• Hole player does not have to cover #3 receiver. he just drops with eyes on #3

• SCARF= Seam, Curl, And, Rally, To Flat

• SCARF= #2 Receivers, Force if run too, Fold Cut back if Run Away.

Corner must communicate With a China Call. This tells the SCARF player that there is no Curl to rob so drop skinny.
