A "gap" is an area of space on the field that the defensive player is responsible to "control." The mike linebacker has no pass coverage responsibility in most of the Hokie defenses. In a traditional one gap 4-3 defense, each player in the front seven has the gap in front of them with few exceptions, with examples being a variety of stunts and run blitzes that are run in small proportion to the base calls.

His initial alignment is quite often in the box, but he doesnt get up on the LOS as much as the WHIP. The defensive linemen get into the neutral zone, engage their blocker, secures their gap, and sheds the blocking using a "violent hand motion" (rip, swim, push-pull, or 45 technique). He's had only two top-10 defenses this decade, but the Hokies are never weak on his side of the ball . In th defense now, the free safety and the whip are essentially interchangable.

Yet, unlike most stunts and blitzes where the defensive player is trying to shake loose to make a play, the Foster gap defense still requires the players who were stunting to maintain responsibility for their assigned gap. In combination, these adjustments resulted in more big plays against the Tech defense, both in the running game as well as the passing game. I saw that and knew we were in trouble. The attack from the DL is the next step, but they have to achieve their gap fit first. How did you think TCU was able to defeat teams like Wisconsin with their 4-2-5?

The primary adjustments were to go to a base 2-high safety set (as discussed earlier), with the Whip up as a linebacker full time and the Rover back as a safety in most alignments. In the old 4-4, the rover was always opposite to the whip. Anytime you see the mike backer dropping back, it is change up defense hoping the QB throws to a spot without seeing the mike. It wasn't a great "instinctual play" by Hosley, but a calculated play call and design by Foster. Former Coaching Staff: Where are they now? There are a number of factors that the coaches consider when setting the defense from play to play. Bud, a divorcee, married Jessie in February on Super Bowl Sunday, about four months after the hospital scare and around the time discussion began about him retiring.

The "G" front is a 4-man Even front that covers both OGs with DTs, and is heavy on stunting. What is a zone blitz? Youll see how they get away with that in coverage later. Rover adjusts to the better receivers or Field side. Instead, the coverage responsibility for that motioning receiver will be handed off to a defender already aligned on the other side of the field. The primary reason why more teams dont try to run this type of scheme is because of the inability to find the two swing players however, and you need them to play against spread teams. . Otherwise (because the linebackers don't immediately scrape and pursue to the ball) there will be large holes and tremendous pressure on safeties to make the tackle. In other words, without changing the base personnel, it was a scheme that could adjust play to play from a run stopping 8-in-the-box set to a strong pass stopping set with five defensive backs (Whip, Rover, Field Corner, Boundary Corner, Free Safety). When Frank Beamer coached under Bobby Ross, they ran the Wide Tackle 6, and he took that with him to VT. Was a great move on moving the rover back in alignment based on the offenses being seen but thought the Rover always lined up on the strong side away from the Whip but your diagram indicates them lined on the same side. We were tiny on D in 2010. The number of wide receivers is derived from the combination of those two numbers. Virginia Tech uses both their base look (which features each lineman and linebacker having gap responsibility for the gap in front of them) or a more radical stunting approach based on the talent Foster has available. So we have a basic definition for each of the eleven puzzle pieces. What does that mean? The helmets they're wearing are still my favorite VT helmets. With the quick passing game made popular through the concepts of the west coast offense, offenses could beat blitzes by going with quick passes to hot receivers and allowing them to use their athletic abilities to gain significant yardage after the catch (YAC). The wide side is called the field and the short side is called the boundary. Bud Foster called this scheme his "attack defense" but the base alignments were 8 man front's following the model of the famed Buddy Ryan 46 defense used by the Bears and Eagles in the 80's.
