INTERIOR DEFENSIVE LINEMAN

Strength is the primary feature of the 3 Technique defensive tackle. Mobility and impressive

upper body strength is a mark of a prospective defensive tackle. The ability to get off the ball,An important characteristic of a Nose Tackle is the ability to play with a low center of gravity.Quickness is a characteristic may be evaluated in lieu of the tremendous upper body

strength. The quickest defensive lineman, regardless of his physical stature, will make the

DEFENSIVE END

The defensive end in this defense is either a fast tackle or a slower linebacker. He is the T-Rex of the defense. His role is to knock the tight end backward and ideally play both C and

D gaps. His primary function is to turn back the offensive edge and allow the linebackers a

Much of the run-support and pass-rush responsibilities will hinge on the exceptional play ofthe defensive ends. The extremely physical and aggressive defensive lineman will make a

ROVER / DEVIL

The outside linebacker is a linebacker-defensive back hybrid. Agility is important for thisposition. The crux of this defense is based off the abilities of BOTH the Rover and Devil whoThe benchmark from which an outside linebacker is selected includes the following abilities:the ability to defeat blockers both from the backfield and offensive line, the ability to coverrunning backs in a man-to-man scheme, the ability to disrupt the pass routes of wideWithout aggressive, mobile, headhunting people at the outside linebacker position, this

CORNERBACK

The cornerback is a sure-footed high tackler with excellent hip flexibility. He must be able tobackpedal and must enjoy the pressure of man-to-man coverage on the edge of the defense.The cornerback has the best speed on the defense and loves to hawk the ball. Cornerbacks

go up for the ball and are counted on to provide game-saving, not necessarily hard-hitting,tackles. They are expected to grab cloth when they tackle. A cornerback does not need to

FREE SAFETYThe free safety is the fulcrum of the secondary, as he be the vocal leader and relayingneeded situational adjustments is valuable. It is upon his talent and play that the success ofthe secondary, if not the entire scheme, hinges in this defense. If the defensive end is the T-Rex of the defense, then the free safety is the Doberman. The free safety candidate isselected for his speed, aggressive nature, and tackling ability. A candidate lacking any ofthose three qualities would be suspect in being able to carry out the duties required of this

INSIDE LINEBACKER

Athletes chosen to play linebacker should demonstrate average to above average speed, ahigher lever of upper-body strength, agility, and an aggressive nature of play. Of thesefactors, speed may be the most significant. Athletes with exceptional speed usually makeexcellent linebackers, regardless of the strength factor. Almost all athletes who desire to playlinebacker will demonstrate an aggressive style of play and a love for contact, so this


117/180

In this defense, the Will is usually the more physical of the two players. He should also be thefaster linebacker if the major offensive style of the opponent is a passing attack. In thestandard two-deep coverage, the Will linebacker is responsible for covering the insidereceiver aligned to the weak side. The strong side linebacker (SAM) may be less physical andmore of a scat back type of linebacker an excellent scraping linebacker. The Will is the
