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. Nekos was pretty average size for a Hokie DE (McCray is the biggest it seems like we have had since Chris Ellis), but neither Brown nor Graves fit the new prototype of NFL type 6'6 265 DE's and 6'4 310 3-4 DE's or 4-3 DT's that we see in the SEC. I think they were 6'2 or so and 270-280 lbs. Really great stuff.

TKP, where you get the analysis and the analysis of the analysis by the original analyst, "Why gobble gobble chumps asks such good questions, I will never know." -Bud Foster. So, I don't think having our DL being smallish gives us a good advantage to counter the GT offense (a la moving our DE in as a DT and then replacing the DE with T. Wilson), since Miami has prototypical NFL DT's and absolutely mauled them at the LOS. It is even more stunning given how horridly Miami's D was against the Hokies. http://www.orangeandwhite.com/news/2012/jan/21/swinney-hired-venables-br OT: "The Mandalorian" S3 discussion thread (feat. Can we get this thread retitled - "A Look Back at a Look Back to . Because the line is flowing play-side, the Whip should be unblocked and should go directly to the ball-carrier. 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. If he comes inside, Backer takes him. 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. The Whip responsibilities seem to change as much as the skillsets of the players in the position. 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. From the formation, they know the passing strength of the offense and based on that they will slide their respective alignments accordingly (still within the basic alignments defined by ball position). Stanford presents the most unique formula. He does not have to be a big guy, but he does have to have a very high motor. Whether you've been running the 4-2-5 defense for years or you're looking to implement the scheme for the first time, . The offensive personnel or personnel group is the makeup of offensive skill positions for any given play. I have read it many times in the past.

With a 2-high safety base set, the Hokies can play a lot of different zone coverages (while still playing man coverage when they want), preventing offenses from dictating match-ups with their personnel groups and formations. Smart Football did an excellent write up on the Hokies robber and 4-4G. This is absolutely an attacking defense where every player is expected to #1 maintain leverage/control their gap responsibility and #2 attack attack attack the ball carrier. The wide variety of stunts are designed to make backs read holes that are not there, causing them to run right into the mike or backer who have moved across the formation to meet the back in the hole.

Because its a 4-4 defense that has to be able to handle the spread offense at times, it needs some rather special players at some of the hybrid LB spots. So complimenting it with the Bear front gives you the choice of going Even or Odd with a stem (pre-snap shift). More and more NFL coaches are blending the 4-3 and 3-4 concepts and scheme. You have heard the laundry list of coverage terms, but what do they mean? 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. Ultimately, we will see Maddy and Derek Hopkins starting, with Marshall coming in for Maddy on most passing downs. The dominant defenses in Tampa Bay of the late 90's early 2000's allowed Warren Sapp and Simeon Rice to get up field as the method for controlling their gaps. A lot can still happen from that base pre-snap state, including shifts, motion, and checks/audibles by the offense. Fosters defense is always going to be well-coached, and being well-coached puts players where they need to be, but you still need some talent to beat better OLs even if the defenders are where they need to be. A student manager then uses the sign board to communicate the personnel group to the players on the field. When they face 21/22/12 personnel, theyll set up in the G front or Bear front most of the time. The "G" front is the base front, but here I have not adjusted to the formation. Size, strength, and explosiveness were huge factors in that variance. I would go so far as to say Miami was the worst defense the Hokies played all year. How many Hokies have become elite corners in the NFL? 2. Bud Foster used the Bear defense to suffocate the Buckeyes' run game in 2014.

As for tight ends, teams that play tight ends usually end up with the rover or free safety covering them. Justin Hamilton is in his first year as Virginia Tech's defensive coordinator after serving as safeties coach last year. The Mike will likely be unblocked, but the running back should flow directly to him, so the Mike essentially has responsibility for the 1 gap.

In the above play, Jayron Hosley backpedals to his deep third at the snap. Hosley was excellent enough to execute the design up there with the very best ball hawk the Hokies have had. The transition from James Anderson to Brenden Hill without skipping a beat showed two things (1) the coaches know how to put different type players in a position to succeed and (2) while better defined to defend against todays offensive systems, the Whip still is a hybrid position. Though the philosophy was. 20102023, Orange and Maroon Media, LLC. Williams and Harris pretty much flamed out. Frenchgreat new addition to TKP! I think they are well coached. Sometimes shifts and motion will force the defense to tip its hand. I still worry about the whip (watching film of the Stanford game will do that to a guy) and Maddy and Marshall have to take the next step. A "Bear" front covers both OGs and the Center, making it an Odd front. 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.

What VT wants to do to you is show the 8 man front, and force you to go into max-protect blocking, and then peel those extra 2 guys back into Cover 4. Where and how they play, and personnel types preferred, are highly scheme dependent. The Mike is over the center. Ok. It is actually a base 4-4 front. 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. The "G" front is a 4-man Even front that covers both OGs with DTs, and is heavy on stunting. By keeping the tight ends and running backs in to block, offenses could buy additional time to go to their wide receivers running down the field against single, man-to-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. #Scales4Heisman. The boundary, field, and rover all have pass coverage. Drawing on the scheme's nickel roots gives 4-2-5 teams the ability to run a divorced front concept.

When he isn't rushing for 2000 yards next year, Martin Scales will be the Hokies 3rd down pass rusher and get 10 sacks. If you can stop the run with six, the whip or backside safety doesn't have to commit so quickly. MAN. Hopefully Logan will have improved his accuracy to be able to make them pay for it. Even if they win, guys like Hopkins and Collins were just not the same after the GT game last year. Clear as mud right? Rover adjusts to the better receivers or Field side.

In terms of positions, the Stud, Whip, Mike, Field Corner and Free Safety always align toward the wide side of the field. The defensive linemen get into the neutral zone, engage their blocker, secures their gap, and sheds the blocking using a "violent hand motion" (rip, swim, push-pull, or 45 technique). If healthy, this year's defense is going to be quite different. His upside is higher than Collins, but Collins is a much more instinctual player at this point. An example are the Virginia Tech teams of Frank Beamer and Justin Fuente, with Bud Foster serving as defensive coordinator under both. From this base set, the Hokies can play any number of man and zone coverages while still getting to an 8-man front on any play by rotating the Rover up closer to the line of scrimmage just prior to the snap. Have no idea how that played into Foster's defense, but he has played and started taller more slender DTs. Join the community. The Hokies showed a blitz up front, and Jayron showed a cover 3 look by bailing out and back pedaling before the snap. We wore it again that season in our ACC Championship win against FSU.
