Elevator summary: I’m only going to touch on DL play but the entire defense is tied to different ways to fit runs so again this is a really really simplified version of it.

There’s two ways to play DL and both can be done from 3 down or 4 down.

1. Attack react
2. React attack.

1. When you play attack react, you are usually responsible for 1 gap and you are shooting it and trying to penetrate and cut off the play and “funnel” the ball back inside. Ie: you’re a DT playing a 3T …As soon as the ball is turned over you’re trying to penetrate through the B gap.

2. When you’re playing react attack, you have a primary and a secondary gap. You don’t want to penetrate you want to attack the OL and force him to stay flat/square so there’s no creases to run through and try to spill the ball outside and to your LBs/DBs, however you might be fitting it.

Attack react usually gives way for more TFLs but more susceptible to big plays especially on QB reads (zone, power, counter), zone cutback, or trap schemes.

And react attack usually comes with less TFLs but is a safer way to play, if you have the guys that can truly 2 gap.

but both can be done from virtually any front for example

Dave Aranda and DJ Eliot play virtually the same base 3 down defense but Dave plays react attack and DJ plays attack react.

Georgia when they play their mint/tite front 3 down they are purely react attack and have been the best rushing defense in the country.

Ohio state and Clemson are 3 and 4 down , attack react and make a bunch a big plays but also can get gashed particularly by running QBs.

again very very basic explanation but that’s an elementary version of it.

Hope y’all are doing well!

I believe it. I worry it will be a shootout so need defense to play well. They lost A LOT of production from last year.

All the talk from the media about our defense and none of them want to mention how trash UFs was last yr. There's no real reason to think its much better this year either.

Can you imagine All In The Family today? That show broke down so many barriers simply because we could all laugh at ourselves…

I go back a lot further than that----I loved Amos N Andy when I was a kid but the NAACP made them take it off the air putting lots of black actors out of work----go figure. It was definitely a different time

Also, I think someone mentioned the other day about not seeing a Heupel offense in pistol formations before or very much. Little things like that could turn out to be a legit guessing game for opposing defenses. Much different than the very predictable Chaney offense they've been accustomed to

Chaney was doomed with only 10 digits, chubby enough as they were prolly looked like 6...
1st half was the 3 left hand plays and second half...
