IN THE SHOOTOUT STYLE

[mantaraydre]

COACHES,


In the shootout style of play does anyone ever blitz up the middle. 1 way mto stop these great passers is to get presure on there QB and have him make a pass he does not want to. Greg hardmon is one of the greatest passers i've ever seen. At the end of the championship with mike robertson. he told mike he has never been sacked that many times. So with that said, WHAT OTHER METHODS DO YOU EMPLOY TO GET TO THE QB OTHER THAN A LOOPER ?

We all know most bases have a square front which means alot of base to base traffic. It can be hard to slip a lineman or lb past the traffic in time. SUPERFAST LINEBCKERS ARE A MUST IN THIS SHOOTOUT STYLE. If you play a guy like DON " LIGHT EM UP " HUDSON of DFW fame. Your going to get eaten alive if there is no pressure on the qb.


**DOES ANYONE EVEN PRATICE GETTING PRESSURE ON THE QB ?

I think you must get their in 2 to 3 seconds to be effective. Getting close will force the qb to shut the board off before he wants and throw to an engaged player. Which increases the chance of an interception since the WR is engaged. So pressure works even if he is able to make the throw. I feel alot of coaches lose in the shootout style of play due not being able to defend the pass. Every coach has his own philosiphy on a pass defense. BUT WHAT ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE. ?

I see in this style that to be considered a decent to great coach, you must PASS and learn how to DEFEND THE PASS. Someone who runs most of the time a defense will begin to stack the box until things happen. But it is absolute terrot whjen you see the WR DOUBLE STACK ON BOAT BASES, 4 ide splits, wr's angled east and west. You must hope your db's and safties can keep these guys from getting free.


SO, ANYONE PLAYING IN THE CBSMF, PLEASE SHARE SOME OF YOUR DEFENSIVE MIND SETS WHEN APPROACHING THE SHOOTOUT STYLE OF PLAY.

Dre, speaking only of what I see in Los Angeles, if you give the offense 3 seconds on the switch YOUR ARSE IS TOAST, it will be jail break city for the offense.

You need to get to the QBs out here in 1-1.5 seconds. You must have a looper that rounds that corner like a bolt of lightning. Sacks up the middle are an extreme rarity here.

In this style of play, you may rob Peter to pay Paul sort a speak. In other words, there are ways to get to the QB up the middle. A lot is based on the combination of player/base that you use. Also, when you employ a middle backer right behind the nose tackle or defensive tackle, it creates a push.

This is why stacking is allowed. You can not expect to get a sack on the QB all the time but the strategy is to force him to throw the ball before he wants to. Like Shabby said, 3 seconds and that receiver is usually wide open on a slant or on a corner route or the RB has flared up the field about 10 yards.

In this style, on any given day, anybody can smash anybody. It's just a matter of if you brought your A game or not. Mike, Oscar Woodard, Greg Hardmon, and I run a certain system that limits you. Greg has taken to the style like not many but he's asked many questions.

No one is unbeatable in this style of play and that's why it is a lot of fun. But stacking is one of those things that make you have to throw the ball with great accuracy. If they stack to get pressure up the middle, you can always go around end or spread your line and do inside screen plays.

You're only limited by your own imagination.
