Radical Defense anyone?

How about a 5-5-1... 28 yard deep safety.  Put on your reading glasses, this is really interesting.  The Deep Safety concept is really interesting.... basically a headhunter killing all wide recievers.

I think Ted Seay has a file on almost every conceivable aspect of football.

my favorite is the Tight 3 by John Reed

It seems to me like a 5-3 with man principles and and cover 1 for the safety......

eh.... not really....  I get what you mean, it would appear like a 5-3 in most offensive sets... the main principle is that unlike a 5-3, the fastest people are always on the outside, and it always looks like man even when it is max coverage.   the defensive ends also lineup at a 45 degree angle, which isn't very traditional.



As for the safety, this person isn't playing cover 1.  He is more or less a 28+ rover to kill defenseless wide outs and running backs.   Since he is moving forward he literally head hunts the ball carrier on each play, definitely taking out the will of the team.   Whereas Free Safety is a defensive and submissive position, the HH(headhunter)Deep Safety is offensive minded and his entire goal is to hit the ball carrier as hard as possible.

You better have one mean SOB playing that deep safety for that.

Wynne saw some ridiculous defenses back in 2000 with two future NFL tailbacks in the backfield.

I remember some 8-2-1's, 7-3-1's, 6-3-2's, even a 10-1.  That last one wasn't very smart.  It got popped for six rather quickly.

what are the rules on defense.......what is the most you can have on the line etc.....

[Burto]

what would this be called?

          X X X
        X       X
      X   X X   X
                   
         X     X

This could be what you line up in.........and make changes as to how they line up. The OLB would cover the corners but......You would know this and have athletic kids playing those positions

Two d-linemen?  Gotta have more than that.  Unless I'm looking at it wrong.

[Burto]

You are looking at it wrong......It has 3 d-lineman

[TomThumb]

You could play a nasty zone with that defense.

Looks roughly like a 3-4 cover 2 scheme...

Have you seen any team using this?  Or was this just an article?
