Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1606059, member: 2265"] You will recall that we played GT with a 3-4 instead of our usual 4-3. Without an exceptional nose guard to cover both A gaps, that is asking a lot vs the TO. We were also too aggressive (our normal style) and were constantly out of position and couldn't shed blocks. I didn't say stay in lanes, I said to execute assignments, which requires real discipline. Allet 007s post said was cover each option in sequence, which is what everyone tries to do. People forget that in the triple the offense effectively has an extra player (QB) to acount for. At any rate, every defensive scheme has to start with stopping runs in the A and B gaps - nothing new there. Regardless of scheme, the D must be disciplined. The whole point of the TO is to force defenders to commit. Overly aggressive D'S are easy prey to the TO. [/QUOTE]
