Alot of coaches like to run 2 or 4 techniques, Head up on the offensive guards or tackles. That's great if you have D-tackles that can bench 300 lbs and weigh 250 or better. For teams that aren't blessed with a whole lot of strength or size you need to shade your D-tackles. Align your D-tackle to the strength in a 3 technique(his inside eye on the outside eye of the guard). Align your other D-tackle in a 1 technique(his inside eye on the outside eye of the center) away from the strength. Your strong side D-end in a tight 9 technique, He wants his inside foot aligned just outside the inside foot of the tight end(Y) to the strength. D-end away from the strength call align in a 5 tech.
Most Drive rules are Inside, Over, Near Backer or Gap,On or Gap, Down Backer.
By playing a 3 tech. to the strength, You create a Guard /tackle double team.
By playing a 1 tech to the weakside, You create a center/guard double team.
By playing your DE to the strength in a tight 9 tech, He sqeezes the tight end down, Squeezing him down eliminates an inside release on your backers and messes up any kind of G scheme. The whole point is I can absorb your whole O-line with my 4 down D-linemen by playing shade techniques. If my D line is getting doubled, Their doing their job. Teach them to attack half-man, Their visual read and when they feel the down block or double, Split it or drop. Now my 4 best atheletes playing linebackers can make plays. Cov.3 zone for secondary.
