The biggest advantage blitzing gives us is the threat of blitzing. We need co be multiple enough to cake advantage of opponent's weakness, but simple enough that the terminology and actions are repetitious, This fits our philosophy of multilicicv but simoliciev. Coverage: Zero (0) is our term for man coverage. This is the coverage we use when blitzing We use the terms “bail”, “press”, and “bumg” following 0 to tell us the technique our comers will use when playing men coverage. The basic count system is as follows, we count from outside in 1, 2, 3. Only the read side can have a 23. Comers have 21 WR their side, If there is 20 WR then he will lip over and count the next avaiable WR (counting outside in). The sicong and weak safeties have £2 respectively to their sides. The Linebackers have £3 strong, #2 weak, if 22 isin the backfield. The Free Safecy is free at this point with ao one biitzing. Alignment for the linebackers is determined by the front call. The safeties follow their zone alignment rules. The hardest point for the safeties to leam is that che Free Safety may not be reading to the passing sicength. He is reading to the blitz side in most cases. Bliz Terminology: Bullets - Linebackers both blitz Dogs - Linebacicer and Safety irom the same side Smokes - Safety blitz Mob - Both Linebackers and both Safeties at the same time Lions - Safery blitz Bullets Thunder - Both Linebackers and Tight End side safer Bullets - Tells both Linebackers to blitz, We signify in the call which gap they will run through, ECU HORNED FROG DEFENSE DOGS Q “ ' Ga W-Doys 4) = gap ABBE b taro h OREO LAGER EQ, rr. ¥ ELT 7 EN : ef , Fis Ws @ Fy | “% See ‘i I z Field Am w-Dors B Field ain wdogs 8 Lon pe Dees Ts a Gite bapitg he Bin} Sarery tham the, wide sive of the.
