Philosophy against the run
“Bounce and Attack”
Overview
• D-line will bounce
• Outside backers will contain
• Corner will ensure contain
• Inside backers will fill
• Free safety will fill
Philosophy against the run
Reasons for Bounce
• Slows down ball carrier
• Forces him to go horizontal
• Takes him away from assigned hole
• Buys time for gang tackling (“Swarm”) to develop
• Breaks up offense working as a team
• Frustrates ball carrier
Philosophy against the run
Reasons for Contain
• Takes the width of the field down from 54 yards to around 5 yards
• Significantly reduces chances of big play
• Forces ball carrier back to the teeth of the defense
• Enables fill players to come aggressively
Philosophy against the run
Reasons for Fillers
• Inside-out tackles are easier than outside-in
• Balances the talent differential
• Promotes big hits
• Enables us to be position specific
• Causes turnovers
