Even more bedeviling to teams that use pro-style running games, Foster uses a huge variety of stunts, hard slants, and linebacker blitzes to "funnel" the ball carrier right into an unblocked defensive player. The architect of Tech's famed Lunch Pail Defense, Foster was the longest continually tenured FBS assistant coach at the same school at the time of his retirement in 2019. The coaches helped by putting him in positions where he could be successful. Clear as mud right?

The offense makes the next move by setting their personnel group for this example, they have just removed one of their two running backs and sent in a second tight end. 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. A terrific example (which of course I cannot find a good video of) is the 2010 interception of Stephen Morris by Jayron Hosley against Miami. Oh well. The wide side is called the field and the short side is called the boundary.

Playing more of the defense it ran under former coordinator Bud Foster, the unit turned in a markedly better performance against the high-powered Hurricanes in Saturday's 25-24 loss. Some of the biggies are game situation, down and distance, ball position, and offensive personnel. Well, Bud had to change his defense a little to handle that. Is this true and if so, how do we strengthen this weakness with out losing run control? This morning, I actually stumbled across a presentation that Bud Foster made to the AFCA back in 1999. I will touch on this more when I write my column on the secondary play, but I think because Hokies safeties have been victimized in man coverage so much, that Foster is looking at his safeties having less run support responsibility and being better at coverage, hence the change of putting converted corners at safety. That gets us to the pre-snap look for second down. 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. Such a menacing look. The Chargers' defense ranked last in third-down conversion percentage (49.54%), 30th in rushing yards allowed per game (138.9), 30th in points allowed per game (27.0) and 23rd in yards allowed . getting after it down the LOS once it was clear the RB was not going for his gap. I have a few questions: 1) With all the extra movement in the "radical stunts", do you see this as wearing down the front 7 more and possibly being the cause for some of the injuries, esp last year, (ex. You have heard the laundry list of coverage terms, but what do they mean? Each defender essentially has the gap in front of him. I played in the pre-2004 VT defense in HS at Westfield which was also a popular defense with Oakton/Robinson and I guess now South County which has Bendorf. When the TE switches sides, usually the Backer flips spots with MIKE to cover him. His initial spot is 3x5 off the TE, reading the #2 receiver. An example are the Virginia Tech teams of Frank Beamer and Justin Fuente, with Bud Foster serving as defensive coordinator under both. He was on a roll at the start of last season and his recovery is going really well. *:JZjz ? The Hokies play a base 4-3-4 defense, meaning that there are four defensive linemen, three linebackers and four defensive backs in the base set. Before I wrap up this part of the series, I want to get back to the adjustments made after the 2003 season. Stud End (Tyrell Wilson): Pre-Snap, the S end lines up outside eye of the boundary side tackle. I broke the 4th wall of telestration. French on the Bench is a new series of posts that will take a closer look at the theory, fundamentals, and scheme of Tech's offense and defense. This often creates the illusion to the running back that there isn't backside pursuit, making the backside cutback to the 1 gap the logical place to go. The scheme will give about 3,000 families in poverty $1,000 a month for a year, and there are no . 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. 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'. We were tiny on D in 2010. (He finished with well over 100 yards.) Most teams go play side or bootleg with play action, but Clemson (in old 1930's single-wing style) would have the Tajh fake, then continue to waggle a step playside. Following Michael Cole's injury, Foster mostly used the old "46" alignment made famous by Buddy Ryan and the Chicago Bears. If one DL gets blown out of the hole, it creates problems for every other defender. We will look at the Hokies pass defense in more detail in a later post. It is mostly combined with Man coverage and is pretty heavy on stunts and exchanges between the DL and LBs. The Hopkins brothers, Maddy, and looking back at Barry Booker, Jonathan Lewis, and others all sort of fit that mold. Ok. WHIP often creeps up because he usually gets a 1 on 1 matchup with the RB in coverage. 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.

That's how good of a kid he is." Looking forward to future articles. Your thoughts please. If he comes inside, Backer takes him. To make that work, you still need to get pressure from the DL, and I think this has been one of VTs biggest issues on defense over the last few years. I am ready for some football. Five star get after it 100 percent Juice Key-Playing. Really great stuff. So opposing coaches will tell a kid he'll have a better shot of making it to the NFL if he plays in a "NFL-style" 4-3.

They are looking at the QB and reading his actions without letting the #1 outside WR get past. Some teams run a 2 gap scheme (which is much more difficult to get players for.) .". This allows the players to react instinctively and play with more confidence. The primary reason why more teams dont try to run this type of scheme is because of the inability to find the two swing players however, and you need them to play against spread teams. Stanford also used formation to create matchup problems. Steeles downfall came against spread-it-out, fast-paced systems like West Virginias. Adobe d C Also, because of the rather shorter depth of the Safeties, you can attack their run reads directly with a vertical route directly at them, like a Post or Go route up the seam. a !1AQa"q2B#$Rb34rC%Scs5&DTdEt6UeuF'Vfv7GWgw(8HXhx )9IYiy They know on which side to align based on ball position.

Seems there were a lot of big plays in that game and during the year. Smart Football did an excellent write up on the Hokies robber and 4-4G. So something else broke down that lead to Clemson being able to run the ball like they did in the second half. They do not run blitz as much with him in the lineup, however he is used just as much on mike dog pass blitzes (at points he was their most dangerous pass rusher as a blitzer last year.). couple that with (hopefully) some VERY strong dline recruits panning out, and landing dhand and/or brown next year, and it seems as if our defense is only going to get better and better, French-- in your opinion what position in the front 7 is the most important for a successful tech D. Also fwiw if tyler plays every play like those 2 video plays above its going to be hard to keep him off the field especially against gt. Also, stud 6'6 265 DE's who want to play in the NFL, not tie up linemen so linebackers make plays. 2) This defense also seems to point out a weakness for a athletic, good hands tight end (ex.

Once their keys indicate that the running back has the ball, each pursues the ball. The Hokies defense requires the DL to essentially "tie up" blockers and hold gaps. More to come in my next post. Meanwhile, passing downs allow the Hokies to easily switch the whip for a nickel back. Without the post-2003 adjustments, there would have been many plays where Rouse would have been isolated in man coverage against the slot receiver. It seems to me that when Bruce Taylor is in the game there's quite a bit more of a mix. While they are both still hybrid type players, their responsibilities are more confined. Morris, who was a first time starter, had thrown quick 5-7 yard hooks against the Hokie blitz all day. That would have been tough duty for a guy like Rouse, who was much better suited for the current responsibilities assigned to the Rover (1) back as a deep safety to the boundary side or (2) up at the line of scrimmage as an outside linebacker playing boundary run containment or picking up a tight end in man coverage. The Hokies showed a blitz up front, and Jayron showed a cover 3 look by bailing out and back pedaling before the snap. When he isn't rushing for 2000 yards next year, Martin Scales will be the Hokies 3rd down pass rusher and get 10 sacks. It kicks off by detailing the inner workings of the Bud Foster Gap Defense that has baffled most of the ACC over the last 8 years. It is generally made with a 2i-technique on the weakside (Wide 6) and a 3-technique strongside (Split 6), so its quite close to the Over front (1 tech weak, 3-tech strong).

It wasn't a great "instinctual play" by Hosley, but a calculated play call and design by 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. Game situation includes things like score, wind / weather conditions and time remaining on the clock. My most recent columns can now be found on the right sidebar. Because of how it is designed, it is still strong with Safeties as run-gap fillers off the edges, but because of that they are susceptible to play-action moreso than a true C2 squad. Virginia Techs defense is a unique one in major college football in that it is very much an older style of defense descended from the Gap 8 and Wide Tackle 6. 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? Exactly like Clemson this year. I have told anyone who would listen that I didn't like having Collins moved inside, and that if they did move him inside, he needed to get upfield and disrupt the full back/QB mesh point. And then there was all the blitzing. A lot can still happen from that base pre-snap state, including shifts, motion, and checks/audibles by the offense. 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. Its a different approach from VKs 4-2-5, which dropped one SS into the box, but essentially a 4-2-5 plays like a 4-4 front against any pro-style 2-TE/1-2 back offense. 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. The "G" front is a 4-man Even front that covers both OGs with DTs, and is heavy on stunting. The "G" front is the base front, but here I have not adjusted to the formation.

VTs version of defense is a morphed descendent of what the Washington Huskies ran in the 80s and early 90s when their defense dominated the Pacific coast under DC Jim Lambright. In addition, they know the personnel group and the pre-snap formation. Tech makes that difficult because there is a hand off of responsibilities as the offense shifts or motions out from one passing strength to another. At that point, the players on the field know the down/distance and the front, pressure, and coverage calls. I'm sure Nick Saban said the very same thing to him hence his "I don't believe I could achieve my goals at VT" comment. 8 Ohio State with schemes used by Defensive Coordinator Bud Foster,.

It is definitely not a finesse sport. against Stanford in the OB? He's had only two top-10 defenses this decade, but the Hokies are never weak on his side of the ball . That gives up some of the flat zone coverage, so watch for more WR screens this week if they show us C4.

The helmets they're wearing are still my favorite VT helmets. Yet, unlike most stunts and blitzes where the defensive player is trying to shake loose to make a play, the Foster gap defense still requires the players who were stunting to maintain responsibility for their assigned gap. From what I've heard, a lot of the negative recruiting emphasizes that in Tech's defense a DE or OLB (Whip), for example, isn't a traditional NFL DE or OLB. *:JZjz ? I have no doubt this works against the Hokies in recruiting, but Foster also has archetypes he recruits to for his players. I find it interesting how you compare our defense to being as unique as GT's offense. If the ball is on the hashmark, Rover goes Field side, WHIP to the boundary. I think that with their recruiting getting better, Foster may change. Down and distance is fairly obvious. When Frank Beamer coached under Bobby Ross, they ran the Wide Tackle 6, and he took that with him to VT. 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.

I hope they can return to dominance. TechSideline.Com UNC had those guys, FSU has those guys, and that is about it in the SEC. Meanwhile, the defensive linemen must be quick enough and flexible enough to slant heavily (sometimes 2 gaps) each way, which lends itself to short, stocky defensive tackles whocan get to a spot then hold their gap responsibility.
