Against an 8-man front, it was difficult for offenses to establish the run because there was generally one defender unaccounted for in the blocking scheme. The scheme is also simpler to execute because the players are aligned based on ball position, rather than on the strength of the offensive formation. -Bud Foster. 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. If the safeties have to make a bunch of tackles (see Stanford, Miami, Boise, Clemson), then the corners are on an island and at some point, even the best corners will get beat in man coverage. Some teams run a 2 gap scheme (which is much more difficult to get players for.) Registered users can participate in the forum, post and vote on comments. If the ball is on the hashmark, Rover goes Field side, WHIP to the boundary.

I'm sure our coaches cite James Anderson who transitioned from Whip to NFL LB, and Jason Worilds who played DE at Tech and was drafted as an OLB for the Steelers. 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. a !1AQa"q2B#$Rb34rC%Scs5&DTdEt6UeuF'Vfv7GWgw(8HXhx )9IYiy Engleberger wasn't a bust. The mike linebacker has no pass coverage responsibility in most of the Hokie defenses. When Foster developed the concept for the Gap Defense, he looked to solve two problems. Because of the gap fit responsibility, a tremendous amount of pressure exists for the whip and the safeties to be sure tacklers anytime the ball carrier penetrates the line. Often, a zone play to the right (which on a Madden diagram looks like it would go to the 6 gap) will actually cut back almost over the center. The movement ideally allows three Hokies to be unblocked, versus depending on the physical ability of the defensive line to beat each of their blocks at the point of attack.

Thekeyplay.com is not affiliated with Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. The amount of zone and safe coverages they play really is determined by the ability of the line, mike, and backer to stop the run. Bud Foster used the Bear defense to suffocate the Buckeyes' run game in 2014. Even if they win, guys like Hopkins and Collins were just not the same after the GT game last year.

So, I don't think having our DL being smallish gives us a good advantage to counter the GT offense (a la moving our DE in as a DT and then replacing the DE with T. Wilson), since Miami has prototypical NFL DT's and absolutely mauled them at the LOS. 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). Everything I've read has Antoine starting next to his brother this fall. Were tallish and relatively lean. Bud Foster keeps Virginia Tech opponents guessing with ability to adjust on defense After Virginia Tech upset No. Hope that VT keeps getting playing making athletic DTs that can get off blocks and penetrate in interior gaps in order to take D to next level.

Tech often checks out of 4 into their version of straight Man, called a Cover 6 package, but it maintains the C4 look. 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. Using a series of hand signals, Bud Foster communicates the defensive call (set, blitz call, passing strength, coverage, etc) to the players on the field. 1) I have seen a ton of schemes and I can't remember one that repeatedly asks the defensive tackles to stunt across multiple gaps and still maintain gap fits. With deep safety help, Hosley stopped his back pedal and planted on the snap, and he stepped in front of the quick curl and picked off the pass to seal the game. Actually Clemson's D is not going to be all that different than what it was last year except that Venable is simplifying it without all the checks and stuff. It was a very clever scheme because it could be adjusted to a pass oriented defense by slipping the two outside linebackers (the Whip and Rover) into coverage as defensive backs. So, every player has to know exactly where to be, exactly what to do, and exactly where to go before running with reckless abandon into a full speed collision. Can we get this thread retitled - "A Look Back at a Look Back to . Graves certainly was an outlier as far as his girth, along with Jim Davis, but the vast majority of VT tackles are shaped like trashcans. Young guy like Ekanem and Farley, based on film, are perfect fits. James Anderson is the only Hokie alumni who is a starter in the front 7 of an NFL team. First, how do they maintain the aggressive variability of the Wide Tackle Six, but second, he wanted to stop the growing use of one back multiple receiver offenses from the West Coast to the Spread. Gap fit means when the defensive player hits the assigned gap, he must hold that gap maintaining the proper leverage in order to get off a block and make a tackle. The reason why they can adapt to spread offenses reasonably well is because of the player they put at the hybrid position. Combining elements from each scheme is what gives the 4-2-5 its versatility. Whether you've been running the 4-2-5 defense for years or you're looking to implement the scheme for the first time, . Playing in a college system that emphasizes skillset diversity is actually a good thing. But the biggest thing is probably the QB ability to react quickly to the pressure (a key part of the Hokie D). I love the white helmet with the stripe and white facemask. Even the best (Brown- moved to LB, Worilds- moved to LB, Tapp- non-descript backup, Engleberger-bust, Moore- bust, Price- nada) didn't make an impact. Really great stuff. Though the philosophy was. He had a concussion and it hurt our secondary. The Backer disguises, looking like he is scraping play-side, but in reality, he is filling the interior of the 6 gap. While he misses the tackle, he allows enough time for the other players to secure their gap and then pursue to tackle the UVA tailback for a marginal gain. It offers some terrific insight into the Hokie mindset at that time. He retained the terminology and many of the blitz schemes of the Attack Defense, and then moved the rover position back to that of a traditional strong safety. The wide tackle six and the gap defense were used by Foster specifically because they didn't have the athletes to play SEC style, line up our best athletes against yours, and beat you football. Tackle: The Tackle (Derrick Hopkins) lines up as a 3 technique, outside eye of the backside guard. When the 8th man entered the box, the passing game opened up. He started 79 games over an 8 year career. Spoilers). The WHIP LB is a weakside LB, analogous to a JACK LB in a 3-4, who often blitzes off the edge in pressure situations, but who has to be able to cover backs well. WHIP might align himself like a FS, but hell come down over the middle into a hook zone instead of dropping for deep half-field coverage. The idea is the front 6 align based on front alignment rules. They made popular the "G" front and took the 1985 Bears 46 defensive front as a compliment, which Tech would call the "Tuff" package. Justin Hamilton is in his first year as Virginia Tech's defensive coordinator after serving as safeties coach last year. Through the first half, Andre Ellington was averaging like 1.3 yards a carry with 23 yards total. The adjustment from one set to the other depends on the alignment of the Rover. In the Michigan game, almost every completion came against the safeties. UNC had those guys, FSU has those guys, and that is about it in the SEC. Meanwhile, passing downs allow the Hokies to easily switch the whip for a nickel back. Rover always goes to the side of the passing strength (not necessarily the TE side) or the Field side, and WHIP always aligns opposite the Rover. An 11 personnel group is one running back, one tight end, and three wide receivers. They know where to be and they know how to adjust more quickly to formation shifts and motion. 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. "I think one of the biggest reasons actually was Steeles defense. I'd like to see those guys like McCray playing more than thatespecially down the stretch with Clemson, fsu, and Miamifresh legs all round are a gOod thing.. McCray played more against UVA and Michigan than I thought he did, and he had some good pass rush (but he was usually second in the race behind another defender.). The "G" front is a 4-man Even front that covers both OGs with DTs, and is heavy on stunting. The 8-man front, aggressive blitzing style of defense often forced the Hokies to play man coverage across the board with little or no deep help. However, what VT does is very different from TCU and here well showcase the fronts and coverages VT likes the most. There is an extensive blitz package in VTs scheme. And you can quote me on that shit!" Going into last season, there was legitimate concern about Brenden Hill playing a position that had become more defined as a linebacker, but he proved that a player of his physical abilities could be productive as a Whip as well if he handled his assignments correctly. This allows the players to react instinctively and play with more confidence. Rover adjusts to the better receivers or Field side. 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). From all of us at The Key Play, get off the bench and in the game. I don't know recall the plays that Taylor and JWG got hurt, so I am not really sure. Most college teams are not that good, but if the Hokies want to win a NC we will have to face that caliber of offense. Because the line is flowing play-side, the Whip should be unblocked and should go directly to the ball-carrier. This 4-3, 2-high safety base set gets the defense in a much better pre-snap position to defend offenses that like to use a lot of spread or 3-4 wide formations. The Mike is over the center. Does this really hurt us? The other two LBs, MIKE and "Backer" play zones over the middle like any other Cover 2 zone. Why are we sometimes successful (last year 2nd half) and sometimes not so successful (09 second half)? If our defense is designed to "funnel" the ball carrier to certain positions I could see some recruits not liking that. BTW, I dont think I've ever seen a gif used as a legit educational tool and not just an lol. That is really the key to the front. Remember getting gashed repeatedly by just about everybody we played? The defensive calls will be different on 2nd and three versus 3rd and nine. The middle backers have very little pass coverage responsibility, and spend significant time taking on blocks on the interior of a play. Hopefully Logan will have improved his accuracy to be able to make them pay for it. Also, against Ace and Doubles sets, the coverage basically changes into 1/4-1/4-1/2 Cover 3. Oh well. 2) This defense also seems to point out a weakness for a athletic, good hands tight end (ex. 20102023, Orange and Maroon Media, LLC. Hell Charley Wiles even stated that one thing he was challenging Antoine Hopkins on last August was making plays out of his alignment, i.e. The Backer and Rover were strong side players, so they would usually align to the strong side of the formation. Foster used a simple solution. As mentioned earlier in this article, the coaches decided to make these adjustments because offenses had schemed some things to specifically attack Techs 8-man front base defense with more 3-4 wide receiver sets and more spread formations. *:JZjz ? Our DL has way more play making responsibility in the run game than a traditional 4-3 where at least 2 of the linemen are expected to eat double blocks and free up the linebackers. Some of the biggies are game situation, down and distance, ball position, and offensive personnel. - TheFifthFuller. I think we played less aggressive which led to Clemson eventually winning. Hokie defensive linemen are required to have a unique ability to sometimes cover gaps that are far from where they line up, while maintaining leverage in order to prevent being knocked backwards by an offensive lineman. OT: "The Mandalorian" S3 discussion thread (feat. Billy Hite. Call 1-800-GAMBLER. Neither would a Pat Williams type DT. Kudos to Foster and Co. for making the adjustments. Unlike the old 4-4, I think Foster and Gray want the free and rover to essentially be interchangable with the only exception being that the free makes the defensive secondary calls and audibles. Meanwhile, Dwayne Allen would come BEHIND the line against the grain of the play and pop out the weak side. Well, Hosley was disguising his true intention. We were tiny on D in 2010. In the nineties, many teams tried to emulate Frank Beamer and defensive coordinator Bud Foster's scheme, with its premium on defenders stacking the line to either stop the run or scare the offense into abandoning it and apologizing for having considered such a silly idea.
