When they play 46 front, its mostly man/man, because its a pressure front like the Under we use. And based on the history of Bud Fosters defenses, its likely that the play is stuffed. The defensive front called "Bear" is part of the 46 defense, but they are separable things. The Whip and Free Safety were more weak side players, so they would usually align to the weak side of the formation. In the seasons that he had great talent, they didn't blitz and stunt as much (the 06 and 07 Hokie defensive highlight films feature much more base defense against the run.). The idea is the front 6 align based on front alignment rules. Never forget Aaron Rodgers literally laughing at our defense. If they can get Brown and Hand, I think Foster will figure out a way to take their skills and make it work, but I can GUARENTEE you, every recruiter that visits Brown and Hand will tell them that there has not been a Hokie defensive lineman since Foster was hired that has been a productive multi-year NFL starter. I have no expectations that Antoine will start this year coming off that injury coupled with his history of not being as hard a worker.

Not every coach could do that. Miami has completely destroyed GT the last few years (if i remember correctly), and they do that by blowing up the GT OL at the LOS. 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.

Urban Meyer fell behind LSU and Alabama in recruiting, and magically his health is at risk and he gets out.

They have to get Maddy, Marshall, and McCray in there to dominate rather than having read and react play from Wilson and Collins (at tackle.). Clemson Basketball: 2014 Scholarship Roster.

Its heavy on blitzes from those two hybrid players. 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. 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. Speaking of personnel groups and formations, have you ever wondered what Bud Foster and Charley Wiles are doing with all the hand signals between plays? The reason why they can adapt to spread offenses reasonably well is because of the player they put at the hybrid position.

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. The "nickel" linebackers have almost no pass defense responsibility, and instead are used in a variety of blitz packages designed to outman the offensive line and force the quarterback to make quick throws, where the designed hidden coverages in the secondary await to pick off the pass. The same thing happens for Mike and Whip. A recipient of . Next week, we will examine some of the basic blitz packages that the Hokies use for passing down and distance situations.

I remember the first half of the Stanford OB and watching one of Stanford's 300 lb guards kick out and just flatten Eddie Whitley. 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. Because he lines up so close to the LOS, he has to be really good with his backpedal fundamentals to be successful, but in 2-Robber he has the flat zone strong. I have no doubt this works against the Hokies in recruiting, but Foster also has archetypes he recruits to for his players. Based on what you said, don't the DL's all "tie" up the lines in both Bud scheme and the traditional pro-scheme? *:JZjz ?

Foster has been at Virginia Tech for 30 years and has been the coordinator for 12 seasons. 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. His recruiting dropped off when it became apparent that players could be great in that system, but the fundamentals they acquire do not translate to the NFL. Next week will take film from the Clemson game and demonstrate exactly how the Hokies have to maintain a delicate balance between aggressive pursuit and gap responsibility in order to be effective. Sometimes shifts and motion will force the defense to tip its hand. 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.

Also I totally disagree with your wording about the DL simply 'stalemating their blocker in the gap' and 'not being expected to be play makers'. Steeles downfall came against spread-it-out, fast-paced systems like West Virginias. If one DL gets blown out of the hole, it creates problems for every other defender.

But after several seasons of getting pounded into the turf by the Tech defense, teams began to spread things out and use more 3-4 wide receiver formations to isolate certain match-ups. 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.
