Transitioning from an Even (4-3) Front:
Step 1: Take out DT Key: Make personnel adjustments
that require the minimum of new
Step 2: Slide DT over Center teaching and give you the best
Step 3: Bring in OLB/SS type chance to be successful!

Transitioning from an Even Front:
Our Defensive “Mode”
• We are not a traditional gap control, read defense
(although it can be played in that mode if desired).
One strategy vs. spread offense that gets into a trips formation to run the
ball more effectively: Keep 6 in the box and align the Free Safety over inside
receiver. With Spur within 5 yards, it’s a 7 man box.

• 5. DISRUPT RYTHYM: Offenses operate on
rhythm, that rhythm MUST be disrupted.
Effective ways to disrupt offensive rhythm are:
stemming fronts, line stunts, blitzes, and
disguising pass coverage.
• 6. Make the QB read the pass coverage POST
SNAP; don’t let him settle in before the snap
and know where his primary read is.
• 7. Multiple fronts and/or coverages MAY
better serve to defend particular offensive
schemes.
• 8. Pursuit drill must be run every day
• 9. Tackling drills must be run every day.
• 10. Players MUST BELIEVE in it. They
must understand what its strengths and
weaknesses are, and what you are trying
to accomplish with a particular front,
blitz, or coverage.
• 11. Option assignments must be built in

WHY THE 3-3-5 DEFENSE?
•It is an 8 man front vs an I pro set
•It is considered “unorthodox” by offensive coaches
• Easy to align to spread formations
• Ability to get into multiple looks easily
• Allows smaller, faster athletes to be successful

DEFENSIVE END 5 TECHNIQUE
• Alignment: “5” Technique (Nose on outside eye of OT). Align tight to the L.O.S.
• KEY: Ball to OT
• Coaching Points:
Step flat with outside foot.
Keep shoulders square.
Attack outside number of OT.
Punch with hands and react to OT’s first step.
Drill: Key Read for 5 Technique
We will adapt this drill to any blocking scheme we will see that week. We
will duplicate this drill vs. a slant technique as well.
Step with gapside foot, striking OT’s outside number with your inside hand . Use
leverage technique (push and pull) to maintain outside leverage, keeping outside
arm and leg free. Keep T off LB’s until you disengage to make a tackle. Vs.
double team on TE, step down into (squeeze) hole &Keep your shoulders square.
Run to: disengage and redirect to the ball. Ball Away: Check Boot/Reverse.

Line Directional Calls
• KEY: Ball to TE
• Responsibility: Attack and control the C Gap. You are looping from a “5” to
a “7” Technique.
• Execution: When the TE takes his first step, you step with callside foot , using a rip
technique if needed vs. a base or reach block. Vs. a down block, square up, look
immediately inside to G-R-G triangle for kick-out blocks. Do not wrong-arm. Keeping
inside shoulder perpendicular to LOS, sink to a hitting position and attack the kick-out
blocker at his upfield number, bracing yourself with your gapside leg extended. Vs.
Reach scheme, use rip tech. to get into backfield. vs. Flow away, stop, stay low, check
for counter, bootleg, and reverse. Vs. read option, keep shoulders square and respect
quarterback’s keep option.

Key the TE to get a good read
