Multiple 4-3 linebacker gap responsibility. (Football).SEVIER COUNTY Sevier County is the name of several counties in the United States:
Our linemen operate with a run-and-read mentality. They run first and read second, and are responsible for one gap. They will squeeze down a gap vs a down block and become gap-and-a-half players vs a base block. Our linebackers are responsible for two gaps. They have a particular assignment on flow to them and a different gap on flow away. The key to multiple fronts lies in the ability of the linebackers to fill their assigned gap according to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. flow. Our teaching progression makes it possible for us to play multiple fronts. We start by telling the linebackers that the ball can go only in one of two directions: to the right side or left of the center. Diagram 1, Ball Flow: We employ a three-linebacker look. B stands for Bandit bandit: see brigandage. , S signifies Sam, and W is Will. You can also see that flow to B and S is flow away for W.. By the same token, flow to Will is flow away for S and B. Flow away from W is flow to B and S. The other diagrams include all three linebacking positions. However, unless a position or positions is germane ger·mane adj. Being both pertinent and fitting. See Synonyms at relevant. [Middle English germain, having the same parents, closely connected; see german2. to a particular section, they will have no movement. Unless you understand this concept, the following information might seem confusing. If a linebacker is to the side of flow, he is "Playside." If the ball goes away from him, he is "Backside BACKSIDE, estates. In England this term was formerly used in conveyances and even in pleadings, and is still, adhered to with reference to ancient descriptions in deeds, in continuing the transfer of the same. property. ." Diag. 2, Points of Attack: We designate the points that our reads attack alphabetically al·pha·bet·i·cal also al·pha·bet·ic adj. 1. Arranged in the customary order of the letters of a language. 2. Of, relating to, or expressed by an alphabet. . The four gaps to the tight end are A, B, C, and D. The three gaps a way from the tight end are A, B, and C. Diag. 3, "A" Point Assignments (Bandit and Sam): Sam (S)-Vertical Bandit (B)--C gap, read daylight Diag. 4, B, C, D Point Assignments (Bandit and Sam): Sam (S)--Scrape Bandit (B)--C gap, read daylight Diag. 5, Will's A, B, C Point Assignments: A Point--possible trap B Point--plug, read daylight C Point--scrape The frontside concept is taught first. When the linebackers fully understand the terminology and assignments on flow to them we are then ready to move on to the concept of flow away or backside assignments. BACKSIDE ASSIGNMENTS: Whenever a play goes away, our linebackers are taught to pick up a secondary key. Vs the I formation, we pick up the off--area for counter type plays. Vs split backs, we cue the off-side back. On runs away, we tab the linebacker as either a "Backside Fill" (BSF BSF B lymphocyte stimulatory factor. ) or "Free" player. If there is no defensive lineman responsible for the backside A, the LB has BSF. He cannot cross the ball immediately. If there is a backside lineman in A gap, the LB is "Free." He can immediately flow frontside. If on flow away, there is a possibility of a cutback cut·back n. 1. A decrease; a curtailment: "The political effects of food cutbacks could be devastating" New York Times. 2. (A or B Point), we teach a "Physical Check." The LB must physically get up into the gap. If there is no cutback threat (C or D Point), the LB becomes a "Mental Check" player. He still has the same gap, but he does not have to physically get up into the gap. He can flatten out Verb 1. flatten out - become flat or flatter; "The landscape flattened" flatten change form, change shape, deform - assume a different shape or form splat - flatten on impact; "The snowballs splatted on the trees" more quickly, but he must maintain inside-out tempo on the ball. BACKSIDE ASSIGNMENTS Diag. 6, Midline mid·line n. A medial line, especially the medial line or plane of the body. midline, n the line equidistant from bilateral features of the head. Assignments (Bandit and Sam): Sam (S)--BSF Physical Check--possible trap Bandit (B)--BSF Physical Check Diag. 7, A/B A/B Airborne A/B Afterburner (jet engines) A/B Air Blast A/B Answerback A/B Auto-brake A/B Air Bus A/B Afterburning Point Assignments (Bandit and Sam): Sam (S)-Scrape Bandit (B)--BSF Physical Check Diag. 8, C Point Assignments (Bandit and Sam): Sam (S)--Scrape Bandit (B)--BSF Mental Check The last teaching point in the progression involves the Will linebacker. He is coached on his reactions on plays away. Diag. 9, A/B Point Assignments (Will): Free with a Physical Check Diag. 10, C/D Point Assignments (Will): Free with a Mental Check The preceding diagrams emanated from our Base 4-3 Front. Everything we do evolves from this front. Once the linebackers understand the theories of point of attack, backside fill, free, physical, and mental checks, they are ready to expand to other fronts. |
