Blitzing defenses need to be sound on the back end in college or they get burned, but if you can get the guys to be that sound, then you can dictate terms up front. All the best defenses in the country roll with a similar philosophy (though some, such as Bama last year, don't need to add much blitzing to the mix).Space Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525412240793969593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544267494643079726.post-31524828591092603682016-03-14T08:40:49.557-04:002016-03-14T08:40:49.557-04:00Yeah, I really like bringing that pressure off the...Yeah, I really like bringing that pressure off the edge. Can cover up the back end with a safe coverage but bring pressure from the outside to throw the blocking scheme off. Good at adding an additional defender to the run game and for pressure against the pass.Space Coyotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11525412240793969593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2544267494643079726.post-70423537328485551982016-03-14T01:50:05.027-04:002016-03-14T01:50:05.027-04:00Coach B. devised this out of genius.

I was promoted prematurely because the former HC took an offer he could not refuse from a power house. I thought long and hard and concluded I had to come up with something that would keep us in games until I could get a grasp on the overall game instead of concentrating working with the backs, primarily qbs. I wondered, as a qb or OLman what would most bother me, and the answer, just as with offensive philosophy is outnumbering the opposition at point of attack. I didn't have to be nearly as careful as Brown because I was not faced with all the weapons he is at this level. I knew blocking schemes and I knew what the offense would do if I moved my man in a certain way. Knowing this, enabled me to create vacancies on the field by an offensive man being pulled to where he didn't necessarily belong and soon we were getting defenders in the backfield based simply on the offense doing what they were coached to do. There were times they would line up in a formation that prevented original call, but we could still send defenders, always moving forward, making offensive react instead of us, with the main goal, always, every frickin down making life miserable on their qb. No late hits, nothing dirty, simply causing him to hurry throws, hand offs, making pitches too quickly etc., and so many times just arriving too many, too fast, most h.s. teams could not handle it. And when it was third and 15 to 20 for them, staying in our base 52, qb would often make us look better than we were and hurry the pass because it wears on one. Even after I became comfortable in my job and switched back and forth from a 52, that I always liked and was introducing a 45 that is now popular, I never stopped playing defense with an offensive mindset. What started as an attempt to keep games close became our most powerful weapon. Interested in watching a man who was able to devise this defense as a choice and not as a life preserver. And with the speed he has not only at the second and third levels, but with his DEs, could be absolutely wonderful to watch. D.
